I approve of this 100%. Yokai, where are you?!


I have this forum subscribed. If an admin doesn't come and change it I'll visit this thread due to subscription notifications. Or message me on steam. I'm still happy to update this for future music composers to have a good index of works, for the greater good of all musicians.

Hey, here's some examples of Kenji's work, so we don't just have his name sitting there:

Super Metroid (1994). Listen

Metroid Prime (2002). Listen

Metroid Fusion (2002). Listen

Mario Kart: Super Circuit (2005). Listen

Advanced Wars: Dual Strike (2005). Listen (a little loud)

Thank you, I've got a bit more editing I have to do because previous information was wrong. Before FFXIII was released, everyone claimed the OST was by Nobuo but the music is actually composed Hamauzu, so that needs to be changed. I may also get rid of biography pages and just link to whatever appropriate biography of the musicians I can find. I'd try to steer clear of wikipedia, but for some composers that'll be our best source.

Also, alphabetical order is on my to-do list.

Jeremy Soule still has not been added has he? <.<

Wikipedia wrote:...Soule has created several award-winning soundtracks, including Icewind Dale, the Harry Potter series of games, The Elder Scrolls III: Morrowind, and The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion. In 2005 he founded DirectSong, a record label that publishes digital DRM-free versions of his soundtracks as well as those of classical composers.

It's there now for temporary placement.

I think I will be modifying this to fit a more concise + easy to follow formula. Bios and Discographies are nice, but they take up a lot of the forum post that could be easily replaced with more composers within a closer ammount of space.

Therefore, I think in the future I am going to limit it to : Composers Name - Composers Website / Portfolio - Company Affiliation - Most Recent Game / Upcoming Game(s) , with each composer only taking up 1 line.
