Most game music is based on loops effectively.
For over ten years or so game music has developed into a very large market.
I don't know anyone who would be exclusively working on game music, per se.
I guess many game music fans prefer original soundtrack albums.
However in countries outside of Japan I think game music is still a potential growth market that has not yet developed to the extent that we are seeing in Japan.
We hope that eventually there would be an occasion which I can personally prove that game music can in fact impress many different people and move them.
I believe that there are still people who believe that game music is something equal to just an effect incorporated into the game, something like a BGM. And therefore this is something that I would like to show that is not true.
I just initiated the project where I write music for somebody else to write the lyrics and also for the orchestra to perform. I've just initiated the project. That leads the project into creating an independent label outside of game music.
Last year in Germany at a town hall in Leipzig there was a game music concert played by the orchestra and some of the Final Fantasy scores were played. This year there is another concert scheduled in the same location, for game music.
I remember starting 'Game of Thrones,' everyone said 'you have to watch it,' but I thought 'it's science fiction, it's not real, it's nothing.' I gave it a go and then couldn't stop watching it.
Nina Gold is a fantastic casting director. She's doing the new 'Star Wars' movies, but she also does 'Game of Thrones' and many of the Working Title movies, and she did 'Rush.'
I've read all the 'Game of Thrones' books many times over, so I sometimes find it easier being on set, because it can be hard to get out of character.
I think 'Game Of Thrones' is incredibly true to the books. I think the fans will, hopefully, be very pleased with how true to the books we are.
Never in a million years did I think 'Game of Thrones' was going to take off like it did.
I'm not a big fan of fantasy; I'd rather watch 'Desperate Housewives' than 'Game of Thrones.'
I've been so obsessed with 'Game of Thrones,' and there's so much about nobility and duty that I think about a lot.
That's the only thing I'm jealous about 'Game of Thrones': they get to go to Spain all the time.
The approach of 'Game of Thrones' is similar to 'The Lord of the Rings' in that it treats its source material almost like history, and it focuses as much on the human drama as it does on anything fantastical.
I'm just obsessed with 'Game of Thrones,' especially Arya Stark. And I love 'Orange is the New Black,' although I just want to inhale that all at once. I keep trying to stretch it out, but it's so hard.
My kids are always like, 'Why do people always want to take pictures with you?' and I'm like, 'Because I'm your Dada, and you're my daughter. That's why.' It's definitely mostly because of 'Game of Thrones.'
