When I do Gaelic music, I've learned about Gaelic culture; I've tried to learn the language. Whenever I do mouth music and there's Gaelic speakers in the audience, and they come up and go, 'Good job,' I'm always like, 'Phew.'
I have always loved Scottish music - all sorts of Celtic, Gaelic music.
I can speak French, understand Gaelic and know my history. That's the training music has given me.
I'm such a huge fan, and I've done classes of all Lady Gaga music. And she's just someone who evokes freedom and love for her fans and passion in what she does. Lady Gaga, I'll take you out for a salad anytime.
I love Lady Gaga and I love Katy Perry and R&B and rap music... I love big, American pop music.
We are making music for the human race, and even beings from other galaxies are welcome to vibe with us.
I felt obligated to change music to art, the same way that Galileo proved the Earth was round to the world and that the Sun did not stand still.
I'm afraid that eating in restaurants reflects one's experiences with movies, art galleries, novels, music - that is, characterized by mild amusement but with an overall feeling of stupidity and shame. Better to cook for yourself.
I've noticed a lot of younger artists have less fear of doing different sorts of things, whether it's various types of music, or gallery artists moving between video and sculpture and drawing.
Sports without music is just a game. Music makes it entertaining.
Game music has a purpose and it does incorporate sound effects.
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.
