Gryzor87

about

Gryzor87 made his debut as a game composer with his score for freeware PC title Hydorah. An homage to the sidescrolling shooter, or shmup genre, the game was developed independently in Andalucia, Spain over the course of three years. Upon release, Hydorah was made available for free download together with the full soundtrack in mp3 format. The soundtrack to Hydorah was inspired by the musician's memories of Konami MSX games which he frequently played between the ages of 12 and 16. Over 50 tracks, encompassing over 55 minutes of music, were developed for the game score. The music covers a variety of styles, from jazz fusion and progressive rock to techno and heavy metal, all performed on classic synthesizers including Yamaha SY55, Korg 01/W, Korg Trinity and Casio Cz-230S. Several of the tracks for the game feature thematic innovations taking the shmup genre to new places. The musician used a Renaissance keyboard, one which he constructed himself in 2005, known as a Muselaar, on tracks "Meropticon," "Dancing Blocks" and "Death Interception." The track "Path of Scylla" includes a Spanish-language vocal performance. The ice planet the Untulia also features a piece composed in a "Japanese-Spanish-arcade-style," inspired by Spanish musician Paco de Lucia and flamenco. www.gr87.com User-contributed text is available under the Creative Commons By-SA License; additional terms may apply.
