Chain of Memories has a few good organ songs. Most notably Castle Oblivion, but Face It is also good, as is Struggle Away . Soul Blazer has the Master Theme . While the pipe organ does not play a major role in Majora's Mask, the official orchestrated version of Oath to Order does and it is breathtaking. Here it is.
I love the pipe organ (I'm an amateur performer) and I'm glad you made a video about its importance in video games. I'm not much of a gamer, but it's nice to know that the instrument is used in the medium! Also, one of the organs in your clips---I know it quite well, and have played it a few times! The man playing it in fact was my teacher in ...

Synthwave, also known as retrowave or outrun, is a type of electronic music that sounds straight out of the 1980s. Think music to set the scene of a tough guy in a leather jacket jumping into his fiery red sports car while the city looks down with neon lights. It's typically instrumental, and features retro '80s themes like corny action and science...
Simply put, J-pop is Japanese pop music. Thanks to the internet bringing greater Western interest in Japanese culture through mediums such as anime, more people have started paying attention to Japanese music. Typically, J-pop is fast-paced, has rock elements, and may even contain some English lyrics. If you have played many Japanese-developed game...
Just because early video game soundtracks were primitive doesn't mean that we've abandoned them. Chiptune, or 8-bit music, is a genre composed of simple computerized blips and bloops. On retro consoles like the NESand Game Boy, these basic soundtracks emerged due to hardware limitations. Today, many composers create chiptune music inspired by these...
Next up is something a little heavier. Djent, an onomatopoeia, is a loosely-classified subset of progressive/heavy metal. It's notable for palm-muted distorted guitar sounds. Often instrumental (but not always), djent music usually contains lots of complicated riffs and long solos. Often, bands use seven or eight-string guitars to achieve the uniqu...
You might not think that such an archaic genre of music would appeal to video game fans. Gregorian chant, a form of plainchant, is a monophonic type of song that originated from the Catholic Church in the Middle Ages. In its traditional form, Gregorian chant is simple, with no music and sung in free rhythm. Yet video games have used chant to great ...
Do you find traditional jazz a little boring? Then acid jazz may just be for you. It takes elements of regular jazz and spices them up with dashes of soul, funk, and groove. But thanks to electronic music becoming more popular, acid jazz isn't as well-known these days. Recently, acid jazz was prominently featured in the phenomenal Persona 5soundtra...
Most people are familiar with dubstep, the wildly popular genre of electronic music characterized by heavy bass. Chillstep dials this back a bit with low bass, slow beats, and a general soothing tone. While dubstep can quickly become grating, chillstep makes great background noise. The recent indie Metroidvania title Axiom Verge features a few trac...
We've taken a look at several genres of music that have some connection to video games. You probably won't hear these on the radio, but each offers a deep library of music to enjoy. Whether you want more music similar to what you've heard in a game or just wonder what type of music is out there, we hope you've found at least one new music genre wor...

Great video!! Organ and video games. My two passions in one. Right after watching this video, I also watched his video about the use of piano in video games too. I don't think it's unfair to say that Yoko Shimomura is by far my favorite composer for music in video games. I've thoroughly enjoyed everything she's done.
Organ Background Music in a Video Game. 07-30-2008, 05:39 AM. In my recent video game "Ceramic Shooter," I decided to, rather than use MOD or MIDI, actually record music with my 4-track cassette tape mixer (yeah, that is the extent of my recording capabilities).
