Need a quick Thailand trip and also catch some orchestral tunes of the NieR series? Then you may want to plan for the upcoming NieR Orchestra Concert 12018. The NieR-themed concert made its debut in Tokyo, Japan back in September 2018 and will be coming to Chicago and London as well. But since Thailand is closer to a lot of us, we'll just head dow...
Composer Megan McDuffie has done a lot of electronica and industrial music based on a few of her inspirations like Depeche Mode and IAMX. So it's not a huge surprise how catchy 2019's River City Girls' music is. Here's the latest SoundScape that talks a bit about her works. It's also an excuse for me to create this short showcase of three standout...
The name Falk Au Yeong may not ring any bells, but chances are you've heard of his audio work. If you've played Lightning Returns: Final Fantasy and Final Fantasy XV, then you've played a game audio-engineered by Falk. True, Masashi Hamauzu and Yoko Shimomura respectively composed the music, but it was SoundtRec & Falk who made sure it came ou...
It's a month or so until hyper action game Astral Chain makes its way onto Switch. And you're probably curious about the game's soundtrack, whether it'll be like Metal Gear Revengeance's butt rock or Bayonetta 2's pop-jazz fusion. The straight answer? A bit of the former, with some sci-fi synths and drum machine sounds to go along with the cop-a...

To celebrate the Distant Worlds concert that's scheduled for this weekend starting tomorrow night, here's a SoundScape video Mr Toffee did that focuses on the many arrangements of the Final Fantasy theme. You know, the one that ...
It's no secret that the best themes and music can make people remember films they didn't even watch or games they didn't even play. I know a bunch of people who haven't touched Halo and yet they remember that main theme melody in the Bungie-composed theme. The same goes for Mario, Sonic, and a slew of other retro titles. Sakura Wars for the Sega S...
My past few SoundScape videos have been focused on Japanese music composers, so it's time we changed that. In the next few months, I'll be doing these discography "best of" video features primarily spotlighting the best composers the US and Europe have to offer. First up: Jeremy Soule. Check out the video mixtape feature below to check out his h...
With Kingdom Hearts 3 out in a few days (or right now if you're from Japan), it's time to look back and remember what made the series so great in the first place. No, it's not just the gameplay and the whole Disney/Square Enix collaboration. It's also about the music. Composed by Yoko Shimomura, Kingdom Hearts emanates a ton of her trademark piano...
This could be a sad day for game audio and OST fans. Composer Jeremy Soule just announced that he is currently not involved in making music for The Elder Scrolls VI (via TheNerdMag). https://www.facebook.com/OfficialJeremySoule/posts/2096845457069967 Notice the framing of the sentence on the tweet; clearly the game is allegedly early in pre-produ...
If you're a fan of Final Fantasy music, chances are you've attended a Distant Worlds live orchestra concert either in Malaysia back in 2012/2014/last year or in Singapore a couple of times. Well, it's coming back to good ol' KL; audio fans be praised! According to the Malaysian Philharmonic Orchestra listings (thanks Victor), the Distant Worlds:...
Good news, anime and video game music fans! Donna Burke, the lovely voice behind that awesome Metal Gear Solid V song "Sins of the Father" and a whole slew of other favourites will be performing here in Malaysia. She will be singing alongside Ganime Jazz to perform tunes from the aforementioned Hideo Kojima-made game, Final Fantasy Crystal Chronic...
