Good day everybody! I’m Nobuo Uematsu, the composer of Fantasian Neo Dimension.
When Producer Hironobu Sakaguchi first contacted me about Fantasian, I had determined that this may be the final online game title which I’d produce the full soundtrack for, solely by myself.
As a result of this was going to be my ultimate full soundtrack undertaking, I needed to provide it all the things I had. I rearranged my workplace—cluttered with non-work-related issues that have been there for enjoyable—into one thing I name the “Fantasian mode,” in order that I may nook myself creatively. In the finish, I spent a number of months dedicating myself to composing, and I’ve no regrets. Please take pleasure in Fantasian Neo Dimension, the culminating work that tops off my 30-plus years lengthy profession of composing full online game soundtracks!
At present, I’ll be introducing 5 of my favourite tracks from Fantasian Neo Dimension’s soundtrack.
1. Predominant Theme of Fantasian
Composing the major theme for a sport is at all times a headache. I attempt to method it with the mindset of “making a observe that’s higher than something I’ve ever made,” however progress tends to be sluggish once I take issues too critically. Typically, my creativity flows as soon as I let go and notice “that is what I understand how to do greatest.” This was the case for the Predominant Theme of Fantasian.
2. Prickle and Clicker’s Theme
A careless, outdated robotic that’s actually not the newest mannequin – an incomplete being with fragmented speech, however is endearing exactly due to these qualities. These have been the type of issues I thought of whereas I used to be making this observe. It has an ungainly, bumpy really feel to the tune, proper?
3. Shangri-La
This one is a observe that I personally actually like. This observe options scat vocalization which fits like “lan lan~♪,” however it could be good to do a dwell efficiency of a model that features lyrics sometime.
4. God Realm
Is music thought of “correct” solely when it has a phenomenal melody on high of lovely chords, performed with a phenomenal tone? If that’s the case, is it an “improper” piece of music when it has a graceless melody layered on high of eerily sounding chords, carried out haphazardly? Being on this discipline for so lengthy, there are occasions once I query myself about what precisely defines “correct music.”
5. Kina (Future) [featuring Yuria Miyazono]
The time Sakaguchi wants to jot down track lyrics is astonishingly brief. In the previous, each time I’d ship over a accomplished melody his method, often his first draft can be prepared by the subsequent day, or the day after that. I want I may say that this observe adopted go well with, however on this specific case, I consider his lyrics have been written first, and I created a melody to associate with them. Regardless, I recall that I used to be in a position to full this observe in a short time and easily, with no bumps on the highway. Talking of which, Yuria Miyazono’s vocals are so stunning…
