favorite video game composer?

Akira Yamaoka, Yuki Kajiura. Both two entirely different themes.


Yuki always has my heart, but Akira has my horror.
 
And then theres me, who likes Danny Baranowsky and Jake Kaufman ?ω? (I mean, Danny Baranowsky made the soundtrack for Crypt of the necrodancer and the amplified dlc for the game as well (the songs have such an energetic feel for being about a necromancer), then Jake Kaufman who made the shovel knight music (gotta love his collab with mint potion)

But eh... I play allot of japanese games as well, and the music composers for monster frontier stand above all! I mean their songs have a flippin orchestra!

Masayoshi Soken get's big points for being a funny and cool guy who's excited about his music (he doesn't some really funny live performances), but Keiichi Okabe has produced some of the most beautiful music I have heard in any context.

Also of course Nobuo!! What a legend. I love hearing him talk irl too. He just seems like a cool grandpa. Lot's of great choices in thread ^^
 
If I had to pick one, it would absolutely be Nobuo Uematsu. That man has made too many great soundtracks.

Koji Kondo and Yasunori Mitsuda are definitely right up there with him though. Jack Wall and Jeremy Soule are some of my favorites on the American game composer side.
 
stewart copeland is probably one of my favs. he did the music for the original spyro the dragon and listening to the soundtrack just brings back so many memories. it's one of the best video game soundtracks out there!!
i also love jesper kyd, who did a lot of the music for assassin's creed 2, some of those songs are beautiful and haunting.
 
whoever people did the Sunset soundtrack, so good. almost tempted to buy it on steam just cause
