Here's something I've been working on for a while- a rearrangement of the track "Replicas", by Takeharu Ishimoto. This was my first attempt at rewriting something from KH3 with the intent of fixing things I didn't like about it!

It's been a bit, but I'm now back with a new episode of Sound Ideas! This episode marks the starts a sequence of episodes where I'll be bringing aboard some musicians in the KH community and talk with them about their experiences as content creators, musicians, and their relationships with the franchise's music. To kickstart that, I thought it'd be great to talk with ViolinGamer, someone many of you might recognize from being a KH1 speedrunner and also one of the best Melody of Memory players out there.

This was one of my projects since last year, restoring this cutscene track from MoM, particularly due to that gorgeous incorporation of Nachtflugel near the end. Much like when i did it to the Master of Master's theme, this isn't really ripped, as much as it is completley recreated from scratch! I hope you guys enjoy listening to it without dialougue and sparky sounds all over.

Whether it's in the form of Roxas or The Other Promise, one thing is true-- if there's one theme in this franchise that everyone loves, it's this one. But what makes it work, and how do all the different versions across the years set each other apart? Who were the musicians besides Shimomura who contributed to building some of its most iconic renditions? What is the legacy of Roxas's theme when it comes to the music of Kingdom Hearts as a whole?Today, I'll be going through the answers to all of these different questions!

Hey everyone! It's been a while since the previous episodes, but I was fighting to release the best result against all odds haha. This one was really fun to record and Bio and Aeba were amazing guests! In this episode we go a bit off-rails and talk more about the game side of melody of Memory, and rather than just talking about the new music in it, we focused on talking about how the music-gameplay was handled and our thoughts on the game as a whole. I hopey ou enjoy it! Below is a trailer for the episode to pique your interest, and then the episode itself (Also, just in case this gets shared on twitter: I'd prefer if it got tagged with @GlassOstinato , which is my account for Sound Ideas stuff uwu)

Just posted my cover of The Final World ~ Night. This one was my first commission so it was a cool experience (and definitely a different process than my other works) I also drew the thumbnail/video art really fast Hope you guys like it!

Team Days for Days, I'll probably use it for the enitre game lmao

Don't know if anyone mentioned this after all, but the death screen in 0.2 looks different after the update.

That's a really hard question. I guess probably just how hard overall I felt kh1 was- It was one of the last games of the series I actually played, and I had a lot more trouble with everything in it than any of the other games. The fact that I got stuck on the mob rush before the Final Rest on Proud Mode and had to replay the entire game on standard speaks for itself 😅

Even in one of the coded cutscenes that appear to the characters after clearing one of the worlds- It shows Pluto opening a dark corridor on his own in Traverse Town. It's weird that they've hinted that there's a bit more to Pluto than meets the eye, but never really went anywhere with it. Maybe one day. He's honestly one of the bigger mysteries to me- Like we know he (and iirc Mickey as well) was in Traverse Town at some point in KH1, but why? Why was he seperated from Mickey? Was he searching for something? What was his deal during KH2 just going all over the place lmao

This is such a fun competition! 😮 I guess I went ahead and uploaded these two recent drawings I made into the gallery ^^: https://www.kh13.com/gallery/image/68109-lea-and-isa/ https://www.kh13.com/gallery/image/68108-kairi-illustration/

It's definitely weird to me that some of these Disney tracks made it in despite having no arrangements in the games themselves. Maybe they thought having these familiar songs to general audiences would up the sales a bit?

Hard to believe we're just 6 days away. I'm so excited for this game!!
