| Into the Score - Episode 22: "Symphony of the Colossus"This month in "Into the Score", we chronicle Ko Otani's moving and emotional score to Sony's "Shadow of the Colossus" for the PlayStation 2. In the episode, we look at it's quasi-sequel "Ico" as well as the origins of the symphony, with the Baroque Era in particular!
Emotionally, this episode tries to unravel how the music fits into the game; but also, how the absence of music fits in as well. We look at the sparseness of the environment and the grandeur of each colossus - don't miss it! |
| "Into the Score" - Episode 21 - "Professor Layton and the Musical Podcast"Here it is! Episode 21, studying the 2008 release of “Professor Layton and the Curious Village!” It’s developed by the folks at Level 5 and scored by Tomohito Nishiura!
In this episode, we study concepts like the waltz, variations on the beat as well as the historical style of “bal-musette,” which took place in turn-of-the-century France (turn of the 19th-century, not the one that just passed!). |
