How did world-famous video game composer Nobuo Uematsu (left) get his start)? What drives him in music creation? What’s he think about games these days? These were a few of the heady topics tackled by Famitsu magazine in a three-part interview with the guy, and the results are more than worth the read.
Some of the highlights:
– Uematsu got his more-or-less official start with playing music at age 12. “My sister was learning how to play the piano, so we had some instruments laying around the fast,” he said. “That was how it began. I eventually learned that guitars have these things called chords, and as I was playing around with tablatures I realized ‘Hey, I could probably play these on a piano too!’ And I could. That was a major shock to me, and really, my piano playing hasn’t evolved any from that point.”
