=== Kimitaka Matsumae === | |||
Hi, I'm Kimitaka Matsumae. I created and produced 'Collage Techno'. First, I'll start with my background. | |||
I was born in Osaka... Oops, can you blame me for writing that? For a biography and the latest information, please visit my website. Now, about the song. | |||
First, regarding the name "Collage Techno." There isn't really anything like that, it's just what I tried to call my own musical style. | |||
The collage method, or what they used to call "musique concrète," is where you create sound effects and rhythms by stitching together open-reel tapes. In the popular world, similar sound effect rhythms were implemented by Perry and Kingsley, who were famous for their song used in Disneyland's Electrical Parade. | |||
Thanks to developments in sampling technology, these methods became very easy. In my normal work, I use anywhere from a few hundred to a few thousand elements. In order for the track to suit the game this time, however, I used fewer sound effects, but combined them in numerous ways. | |||
Depending on the types of elements, I could've made the song either serious or comical. If I went with comical though, it wouldn't have rivaled with DJ BATTLE's best gags, so this time I made the song serious, focusing on somewhat hard sounds. If I get another chance, I'd like to try my hand at a "comical" collage, too. | |||
