I have discovered so many tracks on Radiooooo across the years. Look at that beautiful (and probably unaffordable) jukebox. If it has TRS inputs and/or runs FIP (www.radiofrance.fr/fip), I swear there is no better music discovery machine.

Fantastic new EP by Joel Schoch and friends. (that dream studio picture though...)

bisouuuu je manvol

When you haven't read The Three Musketeers and Dracula since high school.

Peiné d'apprendre la disparition de Francis Hallé, dont les travaux sur les arbres et les forêts m'ont régulièrement accompagné ces dernières années. L'ultime sale coup de 2025, une heure avant la nouvelle année. En espérant que ses projets de forêts primaires soient vite concrétisés.

(btw I haven't worked on this title at all and I'm not trying to be corporate, it's just that two years later I'm still in awe hearing that gritty synth)

The Songs of Silence Original Soundtrack is out now on all major streaming platforms! Some links in the thread 🎶

Le cénotaphe de Turenne, a short and pleasant oneiric experience about a cenotaph that never was. Reminded me of ICO and constellations levels in Okami. Very sweet adaptive music and sound design too. nadkteam.itch.io/cenotaphe-tu...

Please stop making political games about politics!

The Zelda timeline has become too complicated for me

Today is Bandcamp Friday, meaning Bandcamp waives its fee and passes 100 percent of every purchase on to the artists. For anyone interested in Piano Fantasies – music from Square Enix, the album is also available there! @mischacheung.bsky.social merregnonrecords.bandcamp.com/album/piano-...

Stunning original music! your own masTerpieces! ampliFy imagination! empowers a commUnity!

Cool new feature on the Nintendo Music app. It even changes automatically every hour. I just wished they had a real audio engine allowing more flexibility, layers, etc.

Sure, let's focus on the drums here!

The soundtrack to Towa and The Guardians of the Sacred Tree by Hitoshi Sakimoto is now playing on streaming services! nwpl.ing/towa-sacred-...

Well well Uematsu does know what good beer means. さすが

It's not the first time I hear the term 水商売 to designate musicians' livelihood. The Japanese definition says "business with an income depending on popularity and client's will" so, yes, a music career does sounds like 水商売 to me, especially in Japan.

For the very first time, the music of Xenosaga & Chrono Cross will come to life on stage in Paris. Based on our official albums, with the beautiful music composed by Yasunori Mitsuda, performed by Benyamin Nuss. November 29, 2025 at Salle Colonne ♫ 🎟️ my.weezevent.com/chrono-cross...

Me not doing politics

A good reminder that pizza can be written and pronounced two different ways in Japanese: ピザ (piza) and ピッツァ (pi:tsa). Ah, the intriguing chaos of katakana!

I like Bluesky. Sometimes I refresh my timeline and there is no new content so I go back to what I was doing.

Do people who think games must be made quicker play? There are brilliant games releasing every week and our backlogs keep increasing. As usual, what we need is less and better.

"Do you need to see my firearm?"

Random thought: in 2025, AI chatbots have better source protection than many journalists.

I really love this musical font. Clearly not the most readable, but so refined and pleasant to the eye. Score: Sancta Civitas (The Holy City), Vaughan Williams - Curwen Edition

Unicorn Overlord Orchestral Album ~Atlus × Vanillaware Works~ out now! nex-tone.link/A00186263

The day has come

No time to play these days but if this can comfort anyone who didn't get a Switch 2. By the creators of Strange Horticulture, which had a (literaly) fantastic atmosphere. Would love to work on a game with that setting some day.

I just realised Ametsub, who used to be my favourite electronica artist, was now silent because he had been convicted for horrible behaviour. Sources in English. - flau.jp/2018/08/03/b... - fr.ra.co/news/42371

Who doesn’t know Nujabes? 🚚 (Never use katakana to learn English)

Testing the Bandcamp playlist feature. The fact that it's limited to music we bought is a good idea but there are tracks I own elsewhere and would still like to share. bandcamp.com/denyskijimun...

Okinawan Women (Still She Lives) www.youtube.com/watch?v=I9u0...

current vibe

How to ruin a decent service in only fifteen years. Bye Soundcloud!

A bit sad to see so many people embrace AI (and specifically Grok…) in Japan. Suddenly everyone writes fluent (but still awkward) English on social networks, which makes me question all that time spent learning both languages on top my own. The lack of questioning about these tools is disheartening.

I wish I didn't have to dig that meme up.

Interesting info from Nobuo Uematsu's fan club today. As a new challenge, Uematsu is planning to give more solo concerts starting spring 2026. He writes that when he started, he wanted to earn a living from "music", not "game music". He mentions a solo tour of Japanese live houses first.

What the hell, Spitfire, not again…

Excerpts from the Unicorn Overlord Orchestral Concert. Mixing in progress, release on the 6th of June. Aaah so many memories from the game! (5th piece "Rite of Covenant" by me) youtu.be/xPkF-HAbHDc?...

Bon bah on va continuer de lire Kenji Miyazawa en japonais ! “Quel est le super de Kenji ?”

La période me rappelle celle où Le Diplo refusait d'exclure une victoire de Trump en 2017, tandis que la majorité des autres journaux était déjà à tirer le bilan du mandat de Clinton. @lepavenumerique.com, excellente newsletter qui, entre deux news glaçantes, n'oublie pas de nous faire sourire 👏

Quite impressed by the Torso S-4 I tried today. Very intuitive and well designed (in spite of a few frustrating "Coming Soon" features). Connected to a pedal or two, it sounds like a great ambient music machine. torsoelectronics.com/pages/s-4

Soldes de printemps chez l'excellent label @wayorecords.bsky.social avec quantité de belles BO dont je vous ai déjà rabattu les oreilles dans mes diverses publications : l'album symphonique de FFX, la totale de Grandia, Ni No Kuni II de Joe Hisaishi, ou encore Skies of Arcadia, parmi plein d'autres.
