Akira Yamaoka (27 points) Nominated by: JONALEON1 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CkSdiBltgYo Importance: 8 Fear: 9 Snake: 10 I'm of the opinion that the Silent Hill games wouldn't be half as good and scary if not for the memorable soundtrack work of Akira Yamaoka. His work touches on nearly all genres; the most principal being alternative rock, trip hop, industrial, dark ambient, and a little bit of heavy metal. Akira has worked on every game in the series with the exception of Silent Hill: Downpour, and has also played the role of producer on the series ever since Silent Hill 3. Akira designs each game's music with different themes and settings in mind. The original Silent Hill soundtrack is heavily industrial and is a very cold, harsh and unwelcoming OST to listen to fully, but it fits the game's atmosphere perfectly as the game invokes images of freezing, snowy streets and grungy grate metal clanging underfoot. Silent Hill 2 toys with alternative rock melancholy and ambient atmosphere that represents the game's more introspective nature. Silent Hill 3 combines many of Akira's compostions with the lovely vocals of Mary Elizabeth McGlynn, and to me almost feels like a concept album that centers around more the game's main characters and plays in with the game's larger emphasis on character relationship. Each track Akira composes bursts with personality and I can easily match them with where they play in-game because of their distinct feel and huge role in boosting all the games' atmosphere. Akira Yamaoka has done many other Konami games and has worked on the Suda51 horror games Lollipop Chainsaw, Shadows of the Damned, and Let It Die, though with those games emphasis on action and style Akira brings different genres to his compositions that aren't as moody as the Silent Hill series. They're enjoyable in their own way, but for me, Akira remains the king of video game music for being such a vital part of one of my favorite series of all time. --- The first monster you have to scare the audience with is yourself. http://tinyurl.com/zqwzc9a - http://i.imgur.com/e6kIv3X.png - https://i.imgur.com/ecJSilM.png <cite>Snake5555555555 posted [p:892465434] in Snake Rank...
