DISC 2
Disc2 track01- track04 commentary
Good evening guys,
This is Sekito.
I feel that I am over the moon, after I brought my own brand-new Mac book at home!
Anyway, today I will introduce you, the rookie of the sound department, the wizard of the sound, Mr Nakashima.
Let us begin!
====================================================
【Mr. Nakashima comments;】
Good evening.
I am a rookie of the sound department, the wizard of the sound, Mr Nakashima.
Recently a small alley cat appeared all in sudden in my neighborhood.
Everyday, I feed this cute alley cat with such a small figure with my sorrow, by buying food from convenience store.
As I was looking at this cutie while the cat was having its dinner in one go, I suddenly thought of that maybe this alley cat looks like a ,,, . Torgal from “THE LAST REMNANT”!
Oh, Yep!
From now on, I will call him, “Tuna”! Now, his name became “TUNA”
End.
====================================================
【Mr. Sekito comments;】
This is such a heart warming story from Mr, Nakashima.
But considering the name “TUNA”… mmm.
Today, we will begin the commentary for Disc2, starting with the track“The Heavens` Majesty”.
[Disc 2]
■1. The Heavens` Majesty
【Mr. Sekito comments;】
The track is from a city part of the game when the player enters the city called “Elysion”. Elysion is one the biggest city out of 2 other cities in “THE LAST REMNANT”, accordingly.
The story involves around the city of Elysion as a center of its own role.
Despite Rush matures dramatically through meeting important characters as the story goes, Rush who was born in an island of Yulum does not yet know anything about Elysion.
I wrote the track, starting with a fairly big intro with my intention for the player who would be experiencing a great first impression with surprises when enters Elysion, parallel to what would Rush be experience for the first time of entering Elysion.
The 2nd half of the track has riff that describing the feeling for the ending of the travel.
I hope I have made the intention clear enough for the track as well on the composition.
■2. Gateway to the West
【Mr. Sekito comments;】
The track is also from a city part of the game when the player goes into the city of Balterossa. The city is known as a trading city with economically highly growing, and the city is surrounded by desert. I wrote the track to describe the liveliness of the city of Balterossa by writing uplifting track.
■3.The Seat of Vulcan
【Mr. Sekito comments;】
This track is also from a city part of the game for the city of Royotia. Royotia is a city for miner and there are a quite few industrial buildings in the city. As you can see the city in the game, there are not that many people in the city.
I wrote the track with no obvious melody to intensify the mood of the city being industrial and primitive in a way. Also I wrote a simple and flat rhythm pattern and chord sequences for the theme.
■4.Swirling Sands
【Mr. Sekito comments;】
The track is from a field part of the game including The Great Sand Sea.
The Great Sand Sea has a very few trees surviving that surrounded by a massive deserted land with a great clear sky in such a severe environment. There are also many enemies out in the desert as well. So that the player has be cautious at all time when you are on the quest.
On the 1st part of the track, I wrote a simple riff based track. As a comparison, I wrote the acoustic guitar part, accompanied by melody of sitar on the 2nd part of the track.
