  • Michiru Yamane is the legendary composer of the Castlevania series. Let's celebrate these beautiful songs with this 20 minute playlist :)
    Composer's influence:
    Yamane feels she grew an interest in dark classical through her Bach studies in college. She has also drawn inspiration from other composers including Mozart, Beethoven, Ravel, Debussy, Rachmaninoff, and Chopin. In high school, Yamane listened to Kraftwerk, Ryuichi Sakamoto, and Yellow Magic Orchestra, with the latter being considered a major influence on many Japanese game composers.
    Yamane has expressed enjoying music from other game composers, particularly Nobuo Uematsu, Hitoshi Sakimoto, Yoko Kanno, and Motoi Sakuraba. She also explained that Tomb Raider and its sequel influenced the way she thought about sound design.
    Disclaimer: I do not own any of the songs. Showcase purpose only.

    Castlevania games had such incredible soundtracks. It was a big part of the athmosphere the games had, and matched the visuals so well. Every time I hear them, I wonder, how can someone come up with compositions like that. I really need to listen more of Michiru Yamanes work.

      Historic pieces for most part sound charming, "happy" and spiritful. Even the malencholic music of Debussy is him just being french. Post ww2 classical music is something else, as the destruction of two great wars made Psychological horror more apparent to the general populace. Creepy bone chilling music, be it classical or modern, is staple of Post war music, and even more and more of 21st century. And lastly, a music with vampires and demons in mind wouldn't have worked in past anyways, for obvious reasons

      Yamane se mostrou uma profunda conhecedora do mais fino do barroco, foi com as suas composições que conheci no Castlevania que me fez começar a aprender o piano, sua música é catártica, e com certeza sem ela o jogo perderia muito do seu brilho, é uma pena que pra este tipo de arte é necessário tempo, técnica e paixão, coisas que hoje em dia sejam difíceis de conjugar no mesmo artista, dá pra perceber que suas músicas foram feitas com toda cautela possível, a única trilha que chegou perto de se igualar a obra na minha opinião foi a de the Witcher 3...
