One of the most important japanese soundtrack composers of the 90s, Taku Iwasaki has produced many excellent soundtracks, but most important ones to me have been Rurouni Kenshin OVAs that were released as Samurai X DVD boxes in the western countries. He manages to create intricate and interesting, albeit quite traditional harmonies that offer profound and emotional moments, track after track.
Definitely recommended if you enjoy listening to neo classical soundtrack music!

I still remember the first time I played Morrowind, classic open CRPG from Bethesda. I got instantly mesmerized by the orchestral music that filled the air wherever I roamed. I was just walking around the mythical countryside just longing to hear “that next tune”. Ever since then, I’ve been following Soule’s footsteps when it comes to producing soundtracks.
Soule manages to use powerful reverbs well and his sound is so airy and cosmic that it’s hard to describe. His best works in my books are definitely Morrowind, Guild Wars and Oblivion soundtracks. Definitely recommended to check out if you enjoy orchestral fantasy soundtracks!

Influences – E.S. Posthumus
Posted by Michikawa under Uncategorized | Tags: influences |No Comments
There are quite a few artists I hold in high regard, but one of the most impressive ones lately has been E.S. Posthumus. This dynamic duo has managed to produce really vivid and energetic tunes with virtual orchestra sounds combined with modern electronic possibilities. Pompous hollywood style strikes together with neo-classical.

Celestial Aeon Project is an instrumental soundtrack project that follows the footsteps of such giants as Hans Zimmer, Jeremy Soule, Alan Silvestri and E.S. Posthumus. Combining virtual orchestration with modern new age and soundtrack music, these instrumental pieces aspire to take the listener into inner realm, with strong visual images and associations.
Originally project got started as soundtrack project for roleplaying game sessions, but has since evolved into more all around soundtrack project.
Celestial Aeon Project got very good publicity when Matti released a collection of tunes under name Ultimate Music Pack for Elder Scrolls: Oblivion. Mod has since gained massive fandom and exposure.
