Notes from the Gallery Visitors
I spent an hour just clicking through the Uematsu concert stills before I even got to the article. Didn't expect a soundtrack blog to have this much visual detail on the recording sessions.
The Mitsuda manuscript pages next to the Chrono Trigger analysis made the whole piece click for me. I've read a dozen writeups on that score and this is the first time I actually saw the sketches.
Found the Larkin string arrangement photos through a friend's link and stayed for the composer legacy notes. The gallery layout makes it easy to jump between visuals and the actual criticism.
