This remixer did a clever thing. Combined soundtracks on three different music modules, played back at once.



Never mind that it's the music from a Dune video game, that has nothing to do with anything. It's just a killer soundtrack. Composed by Stephane Picq.

Most people seem to prefer the soundcard versions, but I like this one.


It's the one I listen to in the car. Anyway, here's one everybody knows.



What, you aren't familiar with Streets of Rage 3? Yuzo Koshiro. Come on. No, I don't believe you. No. Just, stop.

Nenad Vugrinec, composer. Kim Miller and Joshua Land McClure, vocals. Light and airy instrumentation somehow ends up sounding dark. With church reverb.




Dan Froelich. Beyond reality, a strange new dimension.




this pretty.

A few tracks from Batsugun with guitar

—In V-V the songs have improvisational solo phrases that really stand out, and many of the songs are in a new style not seen before in Toaplan. You get the sense that the developers weren’t going to let themselves be beaten by the lower hardware specs.

[composer Masahiro] Yuge: Those songs were done by laying down the basic tracks and improvising over them again and again, then selecting the best takes from among them. I’d become something of a sound specialist at that point, so we were able to try different things.





"In an improvisation, we lay the bearings, setting up the guidelines for the improvisation. Let's say we agree on a particular theme. That might just be enough, for Creative Spirit to take over from there.

Master Improvisers are equal to pure scientific researchers. They both have a common perspective of suspended judgment, " We refuse to know what we are looking for until we have found it!" Everything depends on where the Soul of the Musicians are.

...there is a great myth that 4 mysterious sound masters, will come and meet in a clearing. They bring their acoustical tools and lay them out in a sound circle. They then begin playing together without a word spoken between them. All the elements of nature will come to honor them in their evocation of Sacred Tone from the 8 Corners of Heaven." - Grand Gong Master Don Conreaux

(A prophetic myth, but it's also a metaphor. I feel that it can apply to social interaction in general. Masters bring to the table everything they've got, just to improvise. We can tell who the masters are, because their intuition is tuned up.)

Marianne Faithfull's lovely version of 'Plaisir D'Amour' before her life's circumstances changed her voice from soprano to contralto.
