the way John Williams' score helped propel Star Wars into hyperspace. Unlike movie music, Uematsu's supple, heartfelt tunes loop endlessly — until the user moves to a new scene. To stand up to repeated scrutiny, his work is suitably complex (he uses drums, oboes, strings and synthesizers), but the melodic core is strong (he has released solo piano versions of some songs). He doesn't find his field limiting: "If I had been composing only popular music in Japan, I would not have had the opportunity to hear from fans worldwide." Who needs music videos when you've got video games? |
