コウタ 高橋

The cells of the song begin to transform all at once and cannot be stopped.

I started this song with the goal of creating an upper-class, jokey scene/character.

I had spent a lot of time researching this genre of music, which I had never done before, but when I started to write the song with my own phrases, I couldn't get it to come together, and I was about to give up, wondering if I had wasted my time.

I was in the mood to give up, thinking, "What would happen if I put in an idea I had for another song a long time ago, instead of a phrase I thought of h...

can't control my excitement

I can't control my excitement.

With multiple projects running and multiple songs being written in parallel, I feel that my excitement is out of control.

As of yesterday, I had a list of seven songs on a notecard that I might work on today.

I can spend my time on any of them as of today, although they have their own priorities.

I'm going to proceed with the songs according to the plan I made yesterday,

I feel like I have to do something different today..."

RaceResult NeoDnB / Limited Shared Song Vol.25

This song is in production for the result screen of an imaginary racing game. The final form will be quite different.

Fate is...

Fate is in the business of foiling you. Our job is to face squarely the fact that our lives are carried by them.

Projects in progress

Right now, there are three projects underway at the request of outside parties.

Each project is in a different genre, and each requires different technical research and environment development, which is where the most time and effort is spent.

The first is a "melody-driven song" for the domestic market. It is being produced diligently.

In order to connect music of all eras, I am devoting a lot of time to re-research with music theory, training in performance techn...

Question to ChatGPT: Please describe the musical genres of dance music, such as drum'n'bass, UK hardcore, techno, house, etc., using a three-pronged military analogy.

I wondered if I could answer a question like this, but surprisingly I got it right.

Q: Please describe the musical genres of dance music, such as drum'n'bass, UK hardcore, rave, house, etc., using a three-pronged military analogy.

A: Hello, this is Bing. It's an interesting idea to compare dance music music genres with the Art of War of the Three Scoops. 😊

The Art of War of the Three Soldiers is a tactic in which the three branches of the military (infantry, cavalry, and ...

Ridge Racers Synthetic Life at the time of birth 3

Ridge Racers

All the Ridge sound makers of the past have gathered in this PSP launch title. From the original Ridge Racers to the latest tracks, the songs are a mix of the old and the new.

I was under a lot of pressure to find a way to help Ridge fans in this situation.

It was hard at the time to make music for Ridge Racers because of all the things I had to do. I had originally spent a lot of time from conception to production on the Ridge Racers songs wh...

Synthetic Life / RIDGE RACERS 2004/12/12

I was given the opportunity to play Downtown Rave City, a course that uses this song as its default background music, and was surprised at how well it fit in with the visual theme of futuristic feel plus nostalgia for Namco games of the past.

I was surprised at how well it synced with the visual theme of the future and the nostalgia of Namco games of yesteryear. It's not possible in t...

When I was 25

Happy 25th Anniversary, Ridge Racer Type 4. When I was 25, I wrote music for Klonoa in the first half and Ridge Racer Type 4 in the second half. It was a year of progress in my musical studies.

Memories of the 12/3 Ridge Racer series of projects

Ridge Racer was released at the same time as the December 3, 1994 PlayStation release.

The BGM could be replaced by inserting a music CD into the game, so I was enjoying the game by inserting various rock CDs. I was enjoying it by inserting various rock CDs.

If I had not been involved in the Ridge Racer series, my interest and action in Ridge Racer would have ended at the "replace CDs" stage.

And it was rather unlikely that I would have participated in the Ridge Racer series...

Impressions immediately after composing the album

While composing, I am in the dream world, so things are happening and I am reacting in ways that are unfathomable when I am awake from a dream.

It seems that the new song is the result of a series of actions that I would never normally choose to take in response to these events in the dream world, which I cannot hear from my daily life.

While I was writing the song, I seemed to be in the realm of complete unconsciousness.

Focusing only on my instincts, my mind, he...

QUALIFYING Test Ver. / Limited Shared Song Vol.24

This is a test version of the song "QUIALIFYING" from REIWA TYPE V.

In deciding on the bass phrases, I tried to imitate famous acid house and other phrases through trial and error.

These bass phrases were not used in the finished version, so this is a special version only available here.

REIWA TYPE V

I created the soundtrack based on my fantasy of the 2023(REIWA 5 in Japanese calendar) version of racing games like the Ridge Racer series!

The song was naturally high in tension, perhaps due to the awareness that this year marks the 30th anniversary of the original Ridge Racer.

REIWA TYPE V, BOOTH version also available! 🏎

One of my spiritual mentors on the technical side.

His work videos are very thought provoking for me.

https://www.youtube.com/@TeddyKillerz/videos

In his video, you can learn what his Neuro Funk complex sound is and how he got there, which is difficult to understand on first listen.

It is great to share these techniques.

I too would like to share my own techniques once I have mastered them.

One of the ways to create the water drop-like glitchy sound I was looking for.

It was a very interesting subject. I'm actually trying it out, and I'm finding it new and very interesting, and of course it will be very useful for the actual music.

Lode World / Limited sharing song Vol.23

A minimal techno track I made in the 2000s, when the techno scene was still a little bit alive, and refined it with fanfare-like synths. I dared to keep the feel of the technique that I liked back then, instead of making the sound image more aggressive than it is now. It seems to be suitable for a menu screen of some kind.

Accumulation

If you keep building on what you think you can do, one day you will do it. Obstacles and barriers will come in with great force, but they will not take all the accumulation away. Today I achieved a goal that was impossible for me yesterday. I will do my best again tomorrow.

FM7DM704 / Limited sharing song Vol.22

I am sharing a drum'n'bass piece that I am in the process of creating and imagining. It has a strange floating atmosphere, combining flute and strings with FM sound sources, and the genre will be LiquidFunk. This version is the fourth draft, and I have also recorded how the landing point is not set in stone, with a development like another song visible and hidden at the end.

Kick drums in sample packs should be scrutinized

He succinctly explains the issue.

After all, in everything,

phenomenon must be broken down to the subatomic level.

The reconstruction as originality consists of those subatomic particles.

Just like the soul.

#Things you wouldn't believe if you told your 20 year old self

Namco is going to develop an awesome racing game that no one has ever seen. You'll be the composer for that series, but I'll be on the ball and put in all the old Namco sounds.

I was always a genuine video game music kid, and Namco was the game company of my dreams.

As a kid, it was one of the few game machines in the candy store,

I was glued to the Galaxian's fluid movements and glitterin...
