Audax 0 Posted July 22, 2008 Share Posted July 22, 2008 I don't know if anyone of you is interested in this, but I thought I'd share it with you anyway. I have found two videos of Afrika, a new ps3 game, which surprised me with some great music! If the whole soundtrack is as good as these two cues than it can rival with the soundtracks of Outcast and Call of Duty Here are the links:http://www.ps3fanboy.com/2008/07/07/afrika...iana-jones-ish/http://www.ps3fanboy.com/2008/07/21/new-af...bout-the-music/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ray Barnsbury 8 Posted July 22, 2008 Share Posted July 22, 2008 Great music indeed. And the graphics look stunning....too bad it's just a Japanese release. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MissPadmé 17 Posted July 24, 2008 Share Posted July 24, 2008 Is that Tim Morris on the First Trumpet? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Morlock 11 Posted July 24, 2008 Share Posted July 24, 2008 Sounds like yet another case of people embracing a decent but unremarkable orchestral score just because it's orchestral. It happens to us all. This doesn't sound like anything special to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ray Barnsbury 8 Posted July 24, 2008 Share Posted July 24, 2008 Yep, you know me - just give me an orchestra playing any old dreck and I'll be singing its praises. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Crichton 4 Posted July 24, 2008 Share Posted July 24, 2008 Hm, Wataru Hokoyama. Never heard of him, but if that's him conducting I can see why, he looks pretty young. It's decent enough, the main theme is very catchy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gsmaestro 0 Posted July 25, 2008 Share Posted July 25, 2008 I'm a friend of Wataru, and he's really awesome and talented (that is indeed Wataru conducting the orchestra at Sony Scoring Stage in Culver City...technically not really that close to Hollywood w/ all the horrible LA traffic). His score for the short film Chiyo brings tears to my eyes...you can hear it on his myspace page. He's definitely one of my favorite composers!

TownerFan 4,983 Posted January 17, 2010 Share Posted January 17, 2010 I've just discovered this really good videogame score. Very Williams-esque. This guy has some great compositional chops, he surely knows how to write for orchestra. The whole CD is a very engaging listen. Check out a couple of cues, it's definitely worth a listen:http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VIk-PBk4hpA Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TownerFan 4,983 Posted January 17, 2010 Share Posted January 17, 2010 Me too Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MissPadmé 17 Posted January 17, 2010 Share Posted January 17, 2010 Hm yeah if he did the orchestration on his own, it's not bad.. but the rest is the very typical soapy, cliche, lazy hollywood chordprogression.. something like taht doesn't attract me anymore Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TownerFan 4,983 Posted January 18, 2010 Share Posted January 18, 2010 Gimme schmaltzy Hollywood orchestrations any day of the week in lieu of the boring wall-of-sound approach that plagues most of contemporary Hollywood film scores... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke Skywalker 1,795 Posted January 18, 2010 Share Posted January 18, 2010 He was at ubeda last year, a nice young composer with talent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Swordfish392 3 Posted March 12, 2010 Share Posted March 12, 2010 I love this score, far better than most of the common "epic trailer music"-bullshit. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zTdLDXNU2ew Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
