BOUNCE TACTICS (LET US CLING TOGETHER)

Finished August 22, 2021.

I composed this piece, along with eight others, for a Facebook group's strategy role-playing video game development project. Not sure whether it ever got off the ground, though.

I envision this pleasant and relaxing tune as the leitmotif for a prominent female character in the game, hence its title. Its main influence would be the frequent collaborators Hitoshi Sakimoto and Masaharu Iwata, who got together on the orchestral soundtracks for such games as "Final Fantasy Tactics" and the "Ogre Battle Saga".

Justice and War | Tactics Ogre Analysis (Ep.4) | State of the Arc Podcast

We finished the game! We got the "sad" ending on the neutral route. The ending was quite good, in our opinion. Let's talk about it!

Glory To The Walister! | Tactics Ogre Analysis (Ep.6) | State of the Arc Podcast

The Chaos version of the game is likely the one that both Mike and Casen would have done first. The majority of the differences would have been in Ch. 3. Let's talk about it!

Another Look at Vyce | Tactics Ogre Analysis (Ep.9) | State of the Arc Podcast

1993 saw the release of two of the biggest hits in the "Miami bass" hip-hop subgenre, with very similar titles and subjects: 95 South's "Whoot, There It Is" and Tag Team's "Whoomp! (There It Is)". Though only one of these songs would meet with mainstream success and enduring popularity in advertisements and sporting events, both have their merits in my opinion. While listening to these songs on repeat during one of my usual spells of '90s nostalgia, I randomly got the idea to combine them in a mashup and back them with classic video game beats. The fast-paced orchestral composition "Limitation", from a Japanese battle strategy game called "Tactics Ogre" (composed by Hitoshi Sakimoto and Yoshimi Kudo), backs 95 South and Tag Team through most of the mashup. Meanwhile, a passage of ".59" from the quintessential rhythm game "Dance Dance Revolution" (composed by Takayuki Ishikawa) makes an appearance later on.

Mashups Vol. 18

Our podcast breaks down the techniques of great storytelling across our favorite games, movies, literature, and music. I also occasionally upload music I've arranged or composed!

I'm an amateur composer, arranger, and music producer from the USA. I specialize in mashups and retro video game soundtracks.

If you can't wait for Neil Cicierega's next "Mouth" album, give my mashups a try and hopefully you'll like them almost as much as you like his.
