Interviews with Mary Elizabeth McGlynn |
|
|
|
At
this year's Anime Expo in Los
Angeles, California, Mary
Elizabeth McGlynn was honored as
one of the few English speaking
focus panel guests. While the
majority of the focus panel
pertained with her anime work,
she did begin the presentation
of a sample of her work on the
Silent Hill 0rigins soundtrack
with a brief discussion about
her collaboration with Akira
Yamaoka. This is one of the only
interviews/discussions where she
discusses her experiences in the
creation/performance process.

McGlynn Focus Panel (Part 1)
Additionally, in a written
interview with Mary Elizabeth
McGlynn, she manages to talk a
little more about the music of
Silent Hill, particularly with
the recording process and with
the song "Waiting for You." She
explains that Joe Romersa is the
contact between Akira Yamaoka
and herself, and that Joe
Romersa is the one who writes
the lyrics for the songs.
Additionally, she reveals that
"Waiting for You" is indeed a
studio recorded song and not
live public performance.
However, they also bring up the
idea of having a concert of
Silent Hill music performed at
the next Anime Expo in 2008.

Silent Hill: The Escape |
|
|
|
The
Silent Hill series goes mobile
again. The new game Silent Hill:
The Escape for cellurar phones
was announced during Konami's
pre-TGS press conference held
yesterday.
"The
Silent Hill series' mobile
installments features
authentically gritty 3D visuals,
but its gameplay is what really
intrigues us. Rather than be
controlled with traditional
button-based inputs, The Escape
instead has an interface built
around the cell phone camera. By
interpreting camera feed data,
the game will be able to
determine the direction a player
is facing or moving and move the
on-screen action accordingly.
Players will also aim at enemies
by pointing the camera. It could
be disastrous in execution, but
it's certainly an ambitious
concept."

Liminality: The Silent Hill
Inspired Album |
|
|
|
"Hi! We are
the Liminal Recs - a Silent Hill
fans' net-label based at the
SilentHill.ru/forum. In the
beginning of this year we began
our work on the Silent Hill
Inspired Album, following the
traditions of Akira Yamaoka'
music and Broken Notes project.
And finally it's finished.
Liminality (that's the title)
became the most important
release for us, so we did our
best! We tried to include all
sides of Silent Hill music -
trip-hop, rock, ambient, dark
ambient, piano compositions,
industrial stuff - we have it
all! When compiling the
tracklist, we wanted to create
some kind of journey around the
city, favourite locations and
scenes, not just a
bunch of
tracks. And I think, we did it
well."
You
can download the album in the
Music section. 2 hours of music from 12
composers won't dissapoint fans
of Silent Hill and Broken Notes.
It's really worth listening! |

Silent Hill: Orphan Comes To
Mobile Phones |
|
|
|
The
mysterious title Silent Hill:
Orphan presented in Leipzig
turned out to be a game for
mobile phones. It's one of three
games which Konami brings to
this platform this autumn. The
other two are PES 2008 and
Castlevania: Aria of Sorrow.
It's gonna be the second time
Silent Hill appears on mobile -
the first mobile Silent Hill was
released in Japan only last
year. Now it came time for
Europe and USA. Silent Hill:
Orphan will take action within
the walls of an abandoned
orphanage in the fog-shrouded
town. It will use first-person
view and point-and-click
gameplay. Apparently the games's
story is somehow connected with
the Silent Hill movie's and so
it's going to reveal more truth
and add some details about the
town. The game will offer three
playable characters to discover
hidden secrets. Silent Hill:
Orphan is going to be the first
of three mobile games to be
released this autumn - it is
scheduled for this September.

the
Silent Hill: Orphan
