Biography

It was the day when I received my first gaming console, the ancient Game Boy, and my very first game, The Legend of Zelda: Link's Awakening. After playing the game and listening to its music, I thought "Man, this is amazing. Some of these pieces really stick in my head". Thereafter I was fascinated about the power of such poor sound quality.

A few years later I got my Nintendo 64 and games like Mario and Zelda were absolutely breathtaking together with the beautiful music. In 2000, I played my first Final Fantasy game — Final Fantasy VIII for the PC. From this time on, game music was a part of my heart and, from year to year, I was more fascinated and learned every time a bit more about it, such as the different instruments. As well as my love for video game music, I also pay attention to movie scores and old classical music.

I have been writing for SEMO on and off for several years now. I have particularly helped out to build up the Suikoden, Professor Layton, Castlevania, and Tales coverage. I hope you enjoy my reviews for the site and find them in some way useful.
