Sakari Infinity

Windswept Woodlands

John Gholson — Thu, 26 Jul 2012 19:03:25 +0000

Imagine running through a woodland during a cool afternoon. You’re rushing towards your destination, romanticizing whatever it may be, only increasing your anticipation, and in turn, your determination. All the while, strings and bassoons (with the occasional flute) accompany this little adventure of yours prompting you to ask a myriad of questions.

I had a fairly simple rhythmic motif stuck in my head for some time before work began on this piece. Fortunately, once I started it, it pretty much flowed right out.

Inspired by Fullmetal Alchemist. Created as an introduction track to an album, movie, game, etc.

Sunspot

A song that was inspired by the soundtrack of the Mass Effect series. Created by using a combination of analogue and fm synth instruments in Ableton Live for the sole purpose of being enjoyed by others. Could be used in various types of sci-fi projects.

A Safe Place

This is an orchestral ambient soundtrack piece, in my opinion best used as part of a horror soundtrack to juxtapose tense moments, and give a sense of relief for a breather level. This was originally planned to be used in a Custom Story for Amnesia: The Dark Descent, though that never really took off. Composed in Reason 4.

Music Contest: Roxy Dark and The Spydrs

illustrationism — Tue, 03 Apr 2012 15:23:57 +0000

There is a new game coming out soon for the iPhone and iPad, and Sakari Infinity is holding the contest for music in the game! Some of you have probably heard about this already, it’s called Roxy Dark and The Spydrs. The game has you following a (fictional) rock band called The Spydrs, and you have been contracted by Roxy, their lead guitarist. Your job is to keep spiders out of “The Spydrs” concerts – apparently spiders just love hard rock, but they bother the audience.

The player will make their way through 50 twisted, spider-filled levels at 5 concert venues. They’ll frantically try and tap as many spiders as they can, while the music rocks their world.

The soundtrack to this game will be… You guessed it: hard rock. A rock band called Violet X will be doing some tracks for the game, but more tracks are needed! That’s where you come in…!

The Contest

UPDATE: Winners will also receive a free copy of the game! (I thought I mentioned that, but I must have forgotten)

Sakari Infinity is holding a “hard rock” music contest. It will last from now until the game is published in late spring / early summer! The winners will have their songs used in a published Apple game, and their name in lights in the final stage of the game (as well as be listed on the credits page).

Song entries should be at least 2 minutes and loopable. Use of electric / grunge guitar is a must, along with a quick tempo and solid bass line.

If you’re used to writing RPG music, think about this as a “Battle” theme. It kind of is!

Submissions

Submit your entries using the Upload tab at the top of the site. Just make sure you mention that this is for the Roxy Dark Music Contest.

Any questions, just ask!

Game Screenshots

The official page can be found here: http://www.rpgm.org/games/roxy-dark

These images were captured from a working version of the game on an iPad 2. The game is about 70% done at the time of this posting, and is slated to be launched late spring or early summer 2012. Note: The “Roxy” rendering is tentative. These are not official screenshots.

Recollections of Destined Shores

Inspired by, Yoko Shimomura, main composer of the many Kindgom Hearts series, I wanted to compose an original song – but not mimicking – that was similar to the style of “Destiny Islands”. I wanted this piece to fit well with a beach, considering there will be cutscenes and events that happen at the beach in my game, Fatelian Story.

Instruments used:

Acoustic Guitar (Nylon), 2 staves
Accordion
Fretless Bass
Jazz Guitar
Marimba
PC88 Marcato Strings
Steinway Grand Piano
Piccolo
Flute
Clarinet
Standard Drum Kit – Closed and Open Hi-Hats, Bass Drum, Snare Tap and Hit, Mute and Open Triangle, Mute and Open Cuica, Guiro, Low and High Bongo, Long and Short Whistle

Belly of the Whale

Not really written for any specific scene. More me goofing around and writing something manically maniacal. If I had to place it in game somewhere it’d probably be in the middle of the game or towards the end when things are getting weird.

Because things always get weird.

Had a lot of fun with this one. Wrote it out as a score for two pianos at first and then put it into a sequencer to attach synths to it. Hope you all enjoy it.

And Then There Was…

An almost mournful atmospheric synth-based track with a mechanical rhythm and chirpy lead synth. It reminds me a little of music in the likes of Piranha by OTM – a spacey theme with a spacey title.

And Then There Was…

We didn’t get a description for this one. This is a really neat Game Over piece. Very neat indeed… Got some vocals in there, some Japanese lyrics. Give it a listen. =)
