Song Production Information[edit | edit source]
WaterMelonWoman / NAKATEK [1] | ||
---|---|---|
この曲が上がって来た時、ジャンル分けに非常に困りました。 一言で「テクノ」と片付けられない何かを感じたからです。 私が'70年代後半から'80年代前半にかけての、いわばテクノ黎明期を リアルタイムに経験した世代だからかもしれません。 この曲は、フィルターバリバリの攻撃的なアナログシンセの音色の隙間に 懐かしいヴォコーダーサウンドがフィーチャーされたキャッチーなAメロの後、 流れるようなBメロを挟んで、東洋的な美しい響きのサビに行くという 素晴らしい展開で、非常に無国籍風に仕上がっています。 実際のゲームの方にも、SE一つ一つに施された空間系のステレオエフェクトが 非常に良い具合に音場を作っていて、作家のこだわりが感じられます。 | When I first created this song, I had a hard time classifying it into a genre. That's because I felt like this couldn't be summarized as "techno" in one word. Perhaps it's because I was part of the generation that experienced the dawn of techno as it was happening within the late 70s to early 80s. This song has a catchy A-melody featuring a nostalgic vocoder sound between the sounds of an aggressive analog synth with filter crunch tones along with a flowy B-melody, followed by an oriental-styled chorus. In the actual game, the spatial stereo effects applied to each of the sound effects create a pleasant sound field, allowing you to feel the artist's attention to detail. |
