Here is Rene Aubry’s “Seduction,” an instrumental piano piece that I heard yesterday on KCRW.
Now, please, what does it sound like? Aubry released the song on his 2013 album, Forget Me Not, which means that whatever I’m thinking of mostly likely came out before, but something about this song triggers my nostalgia sensors nonetheless. Just given my own history, it’s likely whatever it reminds me of came from a video game, just because a life playing video game has meant a lot of time listening to instrumental “wallpaper” music. To me, the Aubry song sounds like a minor key version of something in a major key, but for the life of me I can’t say what.
Is it this? Is it this? Does this trigger anyone else’s nostalgia sensors? This is driving me crazy, but in a way I don’t especially mind.
parts of it remind me of a sped-up version of promise (reprise) from silent hill: http://youtu.be/8N_PXTGdlGw
ReplyDeleteOkay, I can kind of get this. I haven't played the game, but this sounds not too far off.
DeleteSounds like the Forest Maze from Super Mario RPG, the first lick is identical.
ReplyDeleteI hear this.
DeleteMy immediate reaction was the Forest Maze from SMRPG as well.
ReplyDeleteIt makes me think of various SquareSoft titles from the 16-bit era, but which ones...I can't decide. Looking at the comments, I'm like "all of the above".
ReplyDeleteSounds like something out of Chrono Trigger.

More than a few sound similar to my ear, but the track at 1:09:47 (Ayla's Theme) is the one that stands out to me as sounding like the major to your minor.
