Soundtrack: Phantasmagoria

in #dsound7 years ago


This track came to me during my Final Fantasy XI days, with the majority of my life playing this MMORPG, the music inspired me a lot. I was looking to see if I could create something as easy to listen to and memorable as the music of FFXI or previous Final Fantasy games.

The composer of most Final Fantasy games - Nobuo Uematsu was always something of a hero to me, an extremely prolific yet consistent composer with barley a song I didn't enjoy. One day I was listening to his solo album Phantasmagoria, and that was the inspiration trigger that had me form this track.

Trying to be like Uematsu was a challenge for me, not because the music was particularly hard to create, but precisely because it was so simple. I naturally lean towards complex, cacophonous music, and it has always been difficult for me to strip things down to their core components. I feel this is possibly one of the first examples of me completing a nice, simple tune.

It loops as any Final Fantasy soundtrack would, so it could be listened to as you explore a world for hours at a time. I was inspired to create a whole album but as usual I never committed because I'm lazy and noncommittal to anything I start. But maybe I should now?

Tell me, what kind of world, scenery, imagery or story does this little track make your mind wander to? I'd love to hear about what my music can create in one's imagination.

Dude, this is great, it reminded me of this. https://encrypted-tbn0.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcQqJvAcoyFb9AaL2qY7B4iQNAPHPSLpi2557MjGbvQiwqrXXmPI Good work. I think you nailed it.

Thanks! This is ancient though lol, I'm a little inspired to make a little album of this kinda thing in the next week - they're pretty simplistic.

And yes ahhh aerith. I can totally see that. The more I think back I'm pretty sure the actual inspiration for this track came from here:

Which is substantially better lol but hey ^__^

This kind of music gives me goosebump. So midi, so old school, it brings me good memories.
Just do the album.

haha fine =P

Also, I'm not sure how communism is even related to this very non-political topic. I just removed some rewards from copyright protected images. You were free to correct me or explain your position to have me remove the flags, but now you've been an ass I won't be doing that I guess

Good music
