Nick Wood

[Joe Redifer]

So does anyone have any proof that Nick Wood was responsible for Gate of Thunder's sound track?  People keep telling me that T's Music did it, and that is absolute.  But a few people here say this Nick Wood guy (who has a CD that sounds nothing like anything from GoT) is the man.  If he is listed in the credits, could you post a screenshot?

Nick Wood is listed in the credits. I'll play through the game to take a screenshot if you'd like, I don't have any savestates for it.

EDIT: Looks like I had a savestate after all...at the very end of the game. So here's some shots:



Also, more music credits:



On the title screen, there's a mention of "SYN SOUND DESIGN" but I have no idea what this is about.



I should also mention that GoT's music sounds nothing like T's works, the music style in GoT is way more subdued, whereas all the T's soundtracks I have heard are more energetic and lively.

[Joe Redifer]

Thanks for that.  I hope by "Sound Design" they mean music, and not just sound effects and/or voice.

Isn't Takeda part of T's Music?

[FM-77]

Whoever made the music might be a fan of Nick Wood and used his name or something. The japanese guys aren't exactly serious about getting credit for their work. At least not in the past.

[Keranu]

I don't see why that wouldn't be the real Nick Wood, especially since he has a lot of Japanese connections or something from what I understand.

[nodtveidt]

Takeda isn't exactly an uncommon name. Also, it's possible that if it is the same person, maybe he was uninvolved with T's at the time of GoT. Plus, T's makes sure the name gets added to the credits as "T's music". Always.

the music style in GoT is way more subdued,

i would like to call it, more subtle.

From what I understand, Nick lives in Japan, & has for, I don't know, 20 years maybe?  He used to live in the UK, but he started up a team or whatever, & that's that SYN you were talking about, but, most of this, I got from Kaminari.  He seems to be the expert on him.

Yeah, that word works too; I tend to use both words interchangeably.

[Joe Redifer]

Tatsujin, you live in Japan, right?  Can't you just walk over to Nick Wood's house and ask him if he personally composed the music for Gate of Thunder?

if you may tell me his adress and it isn't that far away from my home, why not but i have to say, that i heard his name the first time in this thread here a couple days ago. what's about him at all?

[Joe Redifer]

Surely if there is a man named Nick Wood living in Japan then there would be a giant neon sign above his house with his name on it and an arrow pointing down to his front door.  Look out your window right now.  Do you see it?  If not, then I guess Nick Wood is just some British dude who does not live in Japan.

I think people need to understand that T's Music is really just a amorphous company with many musical styles, and a rotating staff. Kind of like Red, only with Music.

I think people already understand this, Captain Obvious.
