Silent Hill Composer Yamaoka Producing Konami Title

3
Known for his memorable scores to Konami's flagship horror series Silent Hill, Akira Yamaoka is now heading up production of an unnamed Konami project, according to a Gamasutra article.

"I can't say much about it yet, but it should be announced soon, probably," said Yamaoka, who will be serving as both producer and composer on the venture.

While Yamaoka has gained recognition as a composer, he initially entered the industry with hopes of serving as a designer. Although he was credited with a producing title on the past three Silent Hill games--including the upcoming Silent Hill V--this new project will mark the first time he has served in a major directorial capacity.

    This is kind of exciting. I always dug the ambiance he was capable of orchestrating in Silent Hill games. Even some of the Beatmania IIDX song titles he's worked on are pretty catchy and hold water.

    It isn't a slam dunk for a good game, but I'm keeping my fingers crossed that he can transfer his musical arrangement energy into a good game title.
