Hello Everyone, Mission Control here. This week we would like to introduce you to the fantastic soundtrack of ProtoCorgi. After all, it is a truth universally acknowledged that a Corgi on a potentially deadly mission needs the right tunes to get amped up and get into the zone to obliterate his enemies! To get the best result possible, all music for ProtoCorgi was hand made by Kemono Games very own composer Francisco Cerda, in cooperation with Bullet himself! But we are going to let the man speak for himself Q: First question: Who or what inspired you, Francisco? A: The first time we met to talk about ProtoCorgis soundtrack, our CEO, Mario, shared a bunch of musical references. Most of them were the kind of Japanese electronic shootem up music featured in games such as DoDonPachi, Mushihimesama Futari, Tohou, etc. I liked a lot of what I heard, but still wanted to give our music a special flavor in order to differentiate us. Since ProtoCorgi has strong roots in 16 and 32 bit Japanese videogames, the sound of 80s & 90s Anime seemed like a natural fit. Thus, a mixture was born, which took the reoccurring electronic sound heard in several Bullet Hell games, along with the old school jazzy/funk/disco arrangements found in the golden era of Japan animation. Theres also a big influence of other genres I discovered along the way, such as Future Core, Future Funk and City Pop. Q: What was your goal when you created the soundtrack for ProtoCorgi? How did you want people to feel? A: I wanted to make memorable music, melodies that stuck from the first hearing, the same way as happened to me with videogames I played in my youth. The music is arranged in a way that reinforces the Kawaii themes presented in ProtoCorgi, conveying an epic but yet uwu feel at the same time. Q: What do you think is unique about the music? A: I think that the old school jazzy harmonic progressions are a big part of what makes this soundtrack different. It brings back an outdated way of making music, in a world where four chord songs are the rule. Q: Did you encounter any challenges? A: The hardest part is to keep up with the expectations. The music previews Ive shared on Soundcloud already had an awesome reception, so the pressure is high every time I start with a new track. However, Im pretty confident in the material weve crafted so far. Is not always in the same style as the trailer song everybody loves, but it has the same melodic-emotional energy. Q: Finally, is there any part you like particularly well? A: Weve done a bunch of songs with Japanese lyrics for the games opening and ending, and also for some in-game sequences. I really enjoy those. They gave ProtoCorgi an intense Anime feel, which is something Ive always dreamt of making music for! And now you have heard from the master himself how ProtoCorgis soundtrack came about!
