past years traditional
I have been interested in Irish traditional music for the past few years.
years games orchestra
Last year in Germany at a town hall in Leipzig there was a game music concert played by the orchestra and some of the Final Fantasy scores were played. This year there is another concert scheduled in the same location, for game music.
composer composition
Like many composers, most of my compositions are influenced by the music I've listened to throughout my life.
moving games people
We hope that eventually there would be an occasion which I can personally prove that game music can in fact impress many different people and move them.
believe games people
I believe that there are still people who believe that game music is something equal to just an effect incorporated into the game, something like a BGM. And therefore this is something that I would like to show that is not true.
thinking sound environment
However now we can create a sound that can truly startle someone and in terms of sound effects I think the environment that we are in now has improved dramatically.
