i might try to go back through strange journey's ost again to see if i notice anything there since that one is also more orchestral

in that aspect. i guess it's because he's going for full symphonic pieces rather than more simple one-off string compositions for atmosphere this time around, but the difference and absence of those patterns i used to recognize frequently is neat i think ^^

tremolo when he includes strings in his compositions, but in metaphor there's a lot more of just quick staccato for the violins. i was trying to think of why it sounds a lot more different here than in the past with his more orchestral tracks, but he really doesn't fall back on old patterns at all-

cross posting more thoughts on meguro from twt here but here's some metaphor soundtrack thoughts!

now that i think about it, meguro does switch up how he uses strings in metaphor's ost a lot in comparison to the past games he works on. i think i mentioned not too long ago that he uses a lot of-

i never realized how similar they are this is so awful

since i believe persona 5's development started very shortly after catherine's release, i wonder if maybe interrogation room was taken from an unused track in catherine's development?

bsky is being weird and making the audio screw up when i try to post it so ill link my original twt post, but more fun meguro things: "stalked in the dark" from catherine and "interrogation room" from persona 5 sound very similar

P2 past and future

if people couldn't handle yukari i am deeply afraid for ayase and lisa

i havent had the time to actually start playing any megaten games myself yet and i've just been going through the music, but it was cool recognizing the style that he's known for in more modern games appearing with raidou kuzunoha

going through osts done by meguro in order of release is pretty fun when you start to recognize patterns in his compositions and where he starts sticking to a certain style. one thing that's been sticking out to me a lot is how much he likes using the hell out of tremolo for string sections lmao

ah thank you!!!

newer games are easier to find but im having a hard time finding things for older games

will probably ask around on reddit and twt later but if anyone here has any access to old interviews or commentary/notes by shoji meguro about soundtracks he's worked on it'd be much appreciated! im working on a research project at the moment and looking for sources

i keep forgetting to be active here goodness

finished up finals and finally on break!
im getting metaphor for christmas so i might post about it here while playing :)

i have a bad habit of buying games during sales just because i dont want full price later even though i probably wont get to them for months

got catherine digital deluxe on sale

i might poke around the smtiv soundtrack a bit too

I haven't played smtv yet but ive been listening to the ost recently, i really like the music
