Masahiro Sakurai Highlights The Importance Of Modern Music and Sound Effects In Latest Video

Posted on


The differences between nostalgic and advancement

Many fans and gamers have enjoyed the “Creating Games” series by Masahiro Sakurai for various reasons. One of them is that you never really know what he will talk about until the next video of his releases. An excellent example of this dropped with his newest video on his YouTube channel. The topic was about game music, and Sakurai immediately noted how many gamers talked to him about how the music from the old-school days was more memorable than the music tracks of the modern day. But is this true? Or are our nostalgia blinders hindering us from seeing what’s before us?

To test this theory, Sakurai took some of the chiptune-style music from the past and put it into modern titles. As he noted, “it’s a bit loud!” He then explained that the biggest reason for the classic style of music from the early generations of consoles was the technology they had available to them, specifically, the visual technology. When they only could make 8-bit or 16-bit graphics, they had to compensate for what you were sometimes not seeing by having a soundtrack that could whisk you away. Given the love for many iconic video game soundtracks from those periods, we say they succeeded.

However, as the graphics got better and they could relay certain visuals and information in the world, game designers knew that the sound design had to match it. In this case, Sakurai was referring to the world’s ambient noise and how gamers inherently wanted to hear that as they traveled through things. Think about racing titles. Previously, you could hear some of the noises from the car. But in modern times, you can hear everything happening with the car.

Or if you’re in an open world, you can hear the sounds of nature or the city you’re in. As for the claim that modern music isn’t as good as the chiptune tracks of the past, that’s all about taste. There are plenty of singular games or franchises in modern times that are known for their music. For example, Persona 5 Royal is beloved for its tracks, and the Halo franchise is revered for using choir-style tracks to give the title a special sound. More examples exist if you give yourself a chance to find them.

So as Masahiro Sakurai would say, things change, and sometimes you need to make things sound better versus making them sound catchy. You can watch the full video below.

Composer Omar Khairat on introducing classical music into Egyptian popular culture

Posted on


Omar Khairat’s compositions are more a timeframe than timeless.

The pianist, 74, is synonymous with some of the greatest Egyptian films, including Lailat al-Qabd Ala Fatima (The night they arrested Fatima) in 1984 and 1994’s The Terrorist, which were pan-Arab hits. His latest pair of concerts at Dubai Opera on Friday and Saturday are therefore likely to be a nostalgic affair, with fans often humming along to the wistful melodies.

Khairat, who performed as part of Louvre Abu Dhabi’s fifth-anniversary celebrations last year, says he doesn’t mind sticking to his vintage material.

In 2019, he released the album Music of Egypt, Vol 2 and composed the soundtrack for the action film El-Mamarr.

“I could have done more recordings but I am happy dedicating this phase of my career to concerts,” he tells The National. “The music really speaks to people and it reminds them of certain periods of their lives which are often simpler and full of happiness.”

To describe Khairat concerts as a mere retread would be unfair, however.

Through his work in television and film, Khairat helped usher in classical music into Egyptian popular culture with sophisticated works rooted in the region.

“I never wanted to lose the Arabic identity in my music,” he says. “It’s not only important to me personally but the music from our part of the world is rich and diverse enough that it can easily mix with other western forms.”

It is a skill he honed at the Cairo Conservatoire, established in 1959 by his uncle and revered composer Abu Bakr Khairat.

That classical education was matched by Khairat’s evening gigs as drummer for the influential Egyptian rock band Les Petits Chats.

Formed in 1967, the group amassed a cult following in Egypt and the Levant and were the subject of a self-titled documentary in 2015.

Khairat perks up at the mention of Les Petits Chats and recalls the experience as important to his development as the rarefied surroundings of the conservatoire.

“I was studying the piano and playing drums with the band,” he says.

“As a composer, because it showed me how to link different genres together, it made me understand even more the structure of compositions and the importance of melodies.”

That knowledge is prevalent in Khairat’s work, characterised by the controlled and measured expressions of western classical music, with the free-flowing musical style found in the East.

In his 1984 song Fatma, classical piano is juxtaposed with heavy Arab percussion and the folk sounds of the oud, while in 100 Years of Cinema (1986) he puts everything in the mixer, adding some funk and Latin grooves on top of Levant rhythms.

With his formal training setting up his quest to forge “a global sound that is also distinctly Arab,” Khairat worries such rigorous training will become a thing of the past.

He says artists today are mostly relying on mere talent alone.

“Don’t get me wrong, that is very important but it’s ultimately not enough,” he says.

“Having that backed by a deep and rich knowledge of music will also give you the tools to develop it. Without that understanding, I fear the music that will be released will be ultimately stagnant.

While his concern for the future is well-intentioned, Khairat is satisfied he did his bit to point the way forward.

It is for this reason, the composer says he is having the time of his life right now on stage, playing the classics.

“To see people’s faces each night, face to face on stage, is something that inspires me,” he says. “That joy is shared and I look forward to playing for more time to come.”

Omar Khairat performs at Dubai Opera on Friday and Saturday, at 9pm. Tickets, starting at Dh295, are available at www.dubaiopera.com

Longtime ‘Country Tonite’ entertainer dies

Posted on

Longtime Country Tonite performer Mike Caldwell passed away.

SEVIER CO., Tenn. (WVLT) – Longtime entertainer and musician Mike Caldwell died, according to owner of Country Tonite, Jeff Taylor.

Caldwell performed harmonica at the theatre in Pigeon Forge for 25 years.

He performed with many legendary entertainers, including Loretta Lynn. WVLT News spoke to Caldwell in October about his performances in Lynn’s band.

As the news of Lynn’s passing made its way to her former harmonica player, he couldn’t help but think there was more music to be played.

“The first thing I thought of was, ‘Well, now that she’s in heaven, I bet she’ll write a heck of a song,” said Caldwell.

The Contry Tonite cast and crew released a statement on Caldwell’s passing as well.

The Country Tonite family is heartbroken at the unexpected passing of our longtime cast member and friend Mike Caldwell. This immeasurable loss reverberates far beyond our stage.

Mike’s Country Tonite career began during our opening season in 1997. In addition to being one of the world’s most gifted harmonica players, Mike’s contributions also include several years as our musical director as well as many seasons as a featured instrumentalist.

Mike’s talents filled the spotlight show after show as he wowed our audiences with his rendition of “Orange Blossom Special.” His personality shone through each of his performances as he entwined a little comedy into each presentation. A few songs later, Mike would play his heartwarming interpretation of “Amazing Grace.” His range as a performer was astounding while, as an individual, Mike was humble and gracious.

He leaves behind a musical legacy that also includes 10 years touring with Loretta Lynn, having traveled thousands of miles with the Coal Miner’s daughter in performances around the world. In addition, he made countless appearances on “Hee Haw,” “Nashville Now” and “Opry Live,” just to name a few. As a respected musician, he had the opportunity to play with many other country legends including George Jones, Conway Twitty and Boxcar Willie.

“Mike loved music, he loved playing the harmonica, and he loved entertaining. We are so very glad that he was able to do what he loved for so many years and to realize so many dreams here on our Country Tonite stage,” said Executive Producer Jeff Taylor. “The void Mike leaves on our stage and in our hearts can’t be filled—that’s the mark of a remarkable human being.”

We’ll forever remember our friend Mike as a cheerleader, always encouraging others, both on and off the stage.

As our 2023 season approaches and our cast returns for rehearsals, we know Mike’s absence will be felt so very strongly. It will be an emotionally difficult time for everyone, but we know Mike will be cheering everyone on as he would want the show to continue entertaining our guests. Be assured there will always be a place on our stage for Mike Caldwell.

Mike believed that “Good music is like a good conversation piece. Listen without dominating. It’s about feeling, creating, and connecting with an audience. It’s about brightening their day along the way.” Our Country Tonite cast will abide by Mike’s musical philosophy as we honor his memory. Each 2023 Country Tonite show will be performed in his honor. We’ll feel the comfort of his presence and know he is bobbing his head long to every note of every song.

Our hearts go out to Mike’s wife, family, friends, fans and the many lives he has touched over the years. Godspeed, sweet friend.

Matilde G reveals “Hypocrite” single & video – Aipate

Posted on


Italian-born Singapore-based teenage star Matilde G released a new single last Friday. The 17-year-old singer named this one “Hypocrite”. It is an upbeat and anthemic electro pop track which she paired with a brilliantly shot video.

“Hypocrite” finds a vexed Matilde yelling out her frustrations while still showing some understanding towards an ex.

She explains, “I wasn’t respected and treated correctly, I started wondering if I was doing something wrong, I felt bad because I didn’t know why I deserved to be treated like this by boys. That’s when it hit me. I’m not the problem, if these people aren’t happy with themselves they can make you happy. I realised that other people’s actions don’t define who I am, only me and my actions define who I am. In response to that I came out of this situation stronger then ever, ready to live my life at its fullest, knowing that I’m not the wrong one, but these hypocritical people that are all talk and no actions are.”

Matilde wrote this song in Stockholm, Sweden together with Isak Alvendahl, Karl-Oskar Gummesson and Josefin Glenmark.

Berklee College and Electronic Arts Create ‘Next Gen’ Scholarship

Posted on


Berklee College of Music and Electronic Arts (EA) Music announced the “Next Gen” scholarship program, which will provide an annual scholarship and mentorship to a woman or non-cisgender composer in the screen scoring department each semester in an effort to increase diversity in the field.

Through the mentorship program, the scholars will learn how EA Music leaders compose, orchestrate and arrange original scores for video games. EA Music’s portfolio includes EA Sports FIFA, The Sims and Madden NFL.

The scholarship signals both the college’s and the digital interactive entertainment company’s commitment to increasing equity within the entertainment industry and screen scoring.

“Music composition is traditionally a very male-dominated sector, with a recent USC Annenberg Inclusion Initiative finding that women currently represent only 1.7% of composers in screen music, and the gender ratio of male composers to female composers is 18.3 to 1,” said EA Music president Steve Scnhur in a statement. “We hope this partnership will provide the women who take part with an incredible learning opportunity and remind them of the variety of roles available to them in the video games industry.”

The first recipient will be announced at the inaugural “EA Day” at Berklee College this spring, which will feature guest speakers and EA Music executives.

“This is an exciting moment for the Screen Scoring Department and Berklee as a whole,” remarked department chair Sean McMahon in a statement. “We are constantly striving to provide the best possible education for our students to attain personal and professional success. With this scholarship and mentorship program, Berklee and EA Music will collaborate on a vital initiative that allows the selected women to succeed, learn, and enter the world of composing with support from one of the most forward-thinking companies in interactive entertainment.”



Home of the Heart Music with Adela Mede

Posted on


‘Szabadság’ is a Hungarian word which loosely translates as liberty or freedom, and can also mean holiday or taking leave. Fittingly, it’s also the title of the debut album by Slovak-Hungarian musician Adela Mede, a piece of work which exudes an aesthetic freedom, venturing seamlessly between ultra-vivid field recordings, inventively distorted electronics & trilingual vocals, spoken and sung in Slovak, Hungarian and English.

It’s difficult to confine ‘Szabadság’ and Adela Mede’s work to comparison, but there are resemblances which may help place the parameters of where this album roams and thrives. Decomposed vocal treatments bring to mind the golden years of Coil, while the voice-centred combination of traditional influences and contemporary experimentation elicits parallels with the work of Fever Ray, Księżyc and Mede’s Night School label mate Cucina Povera. Nevertheless, ‘Szabadság’ sounds too striking, born out of a specific milieu and originally executed, for these similarities to stick and hold too much weight.

Recorded in Mede’s family home in Rusovce, a borough of Southern Bratislava that lies on the Danube – close to the Slovakian border with Hungary and Austria – ‘Szabadság’ is steeped in diaristic interiority, a work that distils evocative undertones of experience and environment. The sound of a delicate call-and-response vocal between Mede and her sister, and the vibrant aural backdrop of fields at the height of Summer are just some of the sounds that are entwined with bold manipulations of voice and synthesis.

Yet much like the imagery of shimmering iridescence depicted on the album artwork by Kvet Nguyen, ‘Szabadság’ is a document of fluid interplay, situated somewhere between memoir, collage and innovative sound art, where shades of personal perspective merge with the imprint of external realities. Here, multiple affinities are explored, including the bond Mede has with Slovak-Hungarian folklore, exemplified by the recording of folk dances Mede incorporates into the fabric of ‘Szabadság’.

With this playlist, Mede explores the sense of attachment she has with the culture and geography of her homeland, and the kinship she has found when listening to an eclectic assortment of formative musical discoveries. Contending thematically with a ‘home of the heart’, Mede assembles a poignant homage to personal roots and revelations, from Hungarian folk and ensemble choir recordings to Timbaland productions and rich ambient works. There’s plenty to unearth here, with selections (and reflections) that not only emphasize the emancipatory power of knowing your origins, but also highlight the importance of finding a place to feel at home elsewhere. Taking flight but always returning, to a place of peace and comfort…

All The K-Pop Releases To look Forward To In February

Posted on


Yes, we know it’s hard to believe January is already over but if there’s something to look forward to, it’s the newest releases coming from K-pop in February.

January brought us songs that are already fighting to become some or our favorite songs and albums for our year-ender lists. From NewJeans‘ OMG to NCT 127‘s repackaged album Ay-Yo (check out our interview), to even TWICE‘s second pre-release English single “Moonlight Sunrise,” last month’s releases have set the tone on what’s to come for the rest of the year. So who knows what February entails.

Without further ado, here are the top releases to look forward to this month.

Epik High – Strawberry

They may not be exactly K-Pop, but Epik High’s status in the industry deserves a place on this list. After being on the road last year and seeing fans in real life, Epik High forgot about contemplating taking a break. Set to release on February 1, the trio’s Strawberry EP symbolizes the group’s direction towards a fresh, vibrant sound. The newest EP houses two lead singles — “Catch” featuring Hwasa of Mamamoo, and “On My Way” featuring Jackson Wang.

Seventeen BSS – 1st Single-Album ‘Second Wind’

Arguably the biggest release of the month goes to SEVENTEEN’s subunit BSS, short for BooSeokSoon, consisting of members Boo Seungkwan, DK, and Hoshi. The single-album, releasing on February 6, features the unit’s collaborations with Korean rapper Lee Youngji and Peder Elias.

KEY – The 2nd Album Repackage “Killer”

The concepts from Key continue to deliver. Following the success of Gasoline last year, Key is celebrating Valentine’s Day Eve with his repackaged album including a leading single of the same name — “Killer.”

STAYC – Teddy Bear

After days of cryptic posts of random strangers saying “teddy bear,” High Up Entertainment confirms STAYC’s first project of the year. Though there may not be any more information yet, besides the name of the single-album, everyone knows it’s going down with STAYC on Valentine’s Day.

TripleS – 1st Album: Assemble

One of the trending K-pop girl groups from last year are set to finally make their highly-anticipated debut and unveil their full potential with their first studio album on February 13. The 24-member girl group under ModHaus will reportedly promote 10 of the 24 members for this round of promotions.

TRI.BE. – 2nd Mini-Album [W.A.Y]

Short for “We Are Young,” TRI.BE’s second EP, [W.A.Y], will drop on Valentine’s Day (February 14). The project will consist of five new tracks including the lead single of the same name.

LIMELIGHT – Debut EP “LOVE & HAPPINESS”

It’s pretty cool to debut on Valentine’s Day. It’s a flex only some can have. LIMELIGHT being one of them. Dropping their first EP, the trio from 143 Entertainment will unveil their music video to their lead single “Honesty” on February 14.

JAYB – Special CD [Season Hiatus]

After concluding 2022 with various projects and concerts, GOT7’s leader JAYB will release a special album. Pre-orders of the album were previously held last month from January 11 to 24 ahead of its February 15 release.

The Boyz – The 8th Mini-Album

Well-versed in their storytelling, The Boyz returns with their eighth EP. Though no further detail has been provided, a cryptic teaser that shows a darker side of the group’s lore is captured in its concept teaser.

Goldman and Co. aren’t sweatin’ $110 million in new round for Fever at $1.8 billion valuation

Posted on


Just over one year since hauling down over $227 million in a Series E round, one that saw Fever obtain a valuation of over $1 billion, New York City-based, but with strong Spanish roots live entertainment discovery platform Fever has ordered up a new ticket in the form of $110 million.

The venture funding round was led by historic backer of the platform Goldman Sachs and saw the participation of Eurazeo, Convivialité Ventures, Goodwater Capital, Alignment Growth, Vitruvian Partners, and Smash Capital.

Despite waves of valuations slashed in recent months, Fever seems to be growing from strength to strength, reporting closing in on a double unicorn valuation, now hovering at $1.8 billion.

According to the company, over the last year, its been able to double its turnover, with North America now comprising over 50 percent of the group’s revenues. Not exactly a shocker with lockdowns all but a thing of the past, and cabin fever starved humans of ever size, shape, and colour clamouring to be surrounded by others in the dark with amplified sound and thousands of lumens meeting their collective cerebral cortices.

Even if you haven’t participated in an event directly via Fever, I’m willing to bet you’ve either attended, know of, or have a friend who has. The group’s been involved with Harry Potter, Stranger Things, Van Gogh, Jurassic World, and the Friends experiences. 

Fever has become the largest seller of live classical music in the world.

If none of those have appeared on your radar, I can guarantee that your insta feed has displayed one ad or another for the Candlelight classical music concert series (they’re inescapable). In so much, via the Candlelight series, Fever has become the largest seller of live classical music in the world.

The new funding round is aimed at doubling down on these efforts and investing in new content opportunities. In other words, even more fuel for the fire that is burning over at Fever.
