The Music of Kingdom Hearts 3D: Dream Drop Distance

Описание: DDD’s focus on innovating older melodies rather than just reappropriating motifs will mark a change in the series’ musical direction. In this video, we’ll establish the connections--and more generally, the underlying musical advancements--that Dream Drop introduced to the series through Shimomura’s changing compositional philosophy for the game and how she, Ishimoto, and Sekito were able to assist or clarify the story narrative from a musical perspective, establishing instrumental and harmonic signifiers that will persist in future games.
