@Belacqua would enjoy this I'm sure
Fascinating, mood-setting music. It seems pretty clear that he has such visuals in mind when he makes the music.
I Googled Yamaoka just now. His Wikipedia page lists him as primarily a video game music composer, which is something new for me. But it would explain why the pictures and the sounds work together. Also it says he went to Tokyo Art College, which has produced most of the recent famous artists in Japan, so clearly he's a visual guy too.
I made a conscious decision back when computer games started getting addictive -- I knew that if I got into them I wouldn't stop, so I have never experienced all that stuff. My students talk about Call of Duty and a bunch of others, but it's all alien to me. No doubt I'm missing something -- maybe I've condemned myself to the old-fashioned world. The idea of quality composers whose primary medium is games is strange to me!
