[ In our weekly Unforgettable Soundtracks column, we remember together the soundtracks that do not leave our memories, leaving deep traces and sweet memories in all of us. ]
This week comes from Burak Türe (Feylo), our readers of Unforgettable Soundtracks.
When our mood allows, and often even because of our mood, among the relaxing muesli we listen to, undoubtedly the soundtracks often come out of places where I assume that it is the pen of the master hands and often come to our aid. I can’t help but admire Nobuo Uematsu’s ability to touch different strings in each game, the sound design that can adapt not only to the melody but also to the technical competencies of the platform on which the game originated (perhaps a separate page should be written on final fantasy 3’s original NES album)
In addition to Master Nobuo, my mods include Yasunari Mitsuda, Kai Rosenkranz and Michael Giacchino. But there’s a name that people accepted without even counting, and that’s the name we lost this week.
Koichi Sugiyama; Composer, conductor, anime, film, game and television shows, it is not easy to speak, even easy to speak, it is a revered name that has been giving products for 60 years. Of course, those who know it in detail may feel the need to put the word “respectable” in pursuit of (?). I’m going to take two steps of music first.
Koichi Sugiyama is best known in our field for his music for the Dragon Quest series. Their music is orchestral, exuberant, calm (yes) and gives unsettling emotions very successfully. The reason I heard the Dragon Quest 8 theme when I saw the countryside today, the reason I heard Heavenly Flight and said “we’re flying, calm down, now we’re gliding slowly” is why I’m filled with a very deep melancholy listening to Strange World. Everyone respects you in your field, doesn’t talk bad about it, but there are a lot of things to talk about.
Now, if you reach for the Wikipedia page and look at his political views there, you might have a slight sprain, if you only know him by his music. An ultranationarian personality who rejects the Nankin Massacre, finds important human rights harmful to the country… I dedict the complex structure of mankind to the emergence of such music from such a heart. Let’s listen to this and be surprised together, without getting into the question of whether we can separate art from the artist, because human beings are a strange creature:
