Holidays and the week - Music of the Night

Since we were on holidays last week, it appears that we really didn't do much at all. I didn't play many games (apart from Wii-Sports for a bit of difference and finishing the last requirements for KHII) or think up many storylines.

My time, then, was spent on writing music.

Music intrigues me. It evokes a myriad of emotions in those who hear it. All the more reason why it's inclusion in video games is so important. Who could forget the haunting music of 'Sanctuary' as Roxas is 'born' in KHII, or the gothic rock that plays at the start of Final Fantasy VII: Dirge of Cerberus? Even the chirpy electro-pop music that is synonymous with Mario or Yoshi's Story for N64 (wa, wa wa wa waaa, wa, wa wa wa waaa). Music is the lifeblood that drives emotion in the game.

More later. Right now, I have to get to work.
