Musical interview: Trey Toy on the “Castlevania: Nocturne” SEASON 2
One thing I noticed Castlevania: NocturneAnd its predecessor CastlevaniaIt is that both the Netflix animation series already merges the music for a complete effect. Do not praise the tracks with common video games in the 1980s and 1990s, but also depend on selective effects of making strong sound. Current to find out more, I spoke with Trey Toy, a composer who is strongly involved in music development Castlevania and Castlevania: Nocturne. The soundtrack for season 2, which he co -authored with Trevor Morris, came out, On February 28.
The Toy’s original functional plan was to play the guitar professionally in the studio or on a tour with a band. One of the guitarist who wants to meet him Charlie Hunter. Toya admires the intense and expressive way that Hunter plays. He said: “(Hunter) plays the multi -series guitars that are basically half the guitar and half of the brightness. They have two directors, one to the guitar (ampere) and one to ampere. He plays the guitar and dress at the same time.
Today, Toy works as a composer, producer, guitarist and electronic musician. the brave heart The soundtrack, a gift from his father, contributed to his interest in recording television and cinema. He heard the music and fell in love with her years before watching. “Put the movie on the result I knew as a child was really cool. To this day, I think this is one of the most influential degrees for me and one of the most written special music of the film.”
Video games recording
Game is very familiar with Castlevania Video games, which feature Dracula against vampire fishermen, are usually the Belmont family. His older cousins played many early games from the 1980s and 1990s. As for the favorite of Toy, it is definitely Castlevania: Symphony of the Night. “This is indirectly from the effects Lemon. It was very special because this show really reminded me of playing these games as a child. “
LemonTheir main heroes are Richter Belmont (Edward Bloomel), Maria Renard (Pixie Davis) and Anit (so Mubido), who hope at the chest of destruction by vampire Badi Erzett (Franka Putten). To organize soundtrack, there were some important things that a game had to take into account. “With a game, music is much more than the central stage. Usually with a TV show, music works in the background to support the drama on the screen. We have realized early with Lemon This will not cut it. “
Thus, it was very important for a game and Maurice to rely on bold melodies and topics. They merged the missing tools in the Gothic period, including Didgeridoo, curved banjo, and electronics. “We have always wanted an element of the outcome in this Gothic world, whether it is a deep choir, a organ, a guitar, or the Baroque chilo.”
They took Erzsebet as an example, always use a specific tool whenever the vampire appears on the screen. “It represents at least in my minds the evils of aristocracy. The first time we meet, we hear an insecure Harbishord that is treated with many effects. We wanted this element being present in its position in the French aristocratic layer.”
The ancient world and the new world
Lemon It opens with the French Revolution, but this Castlevania series goes beyond Europe. This opens more opportunities in creating a game and Morris. Annette was “implemented by the Don Shelton music name, which plays shells as if it were Woodwind tools. For the historical context, the shell shell was a symbol of the hallway.”
Other letters have also introduced new settings background stations. “We also had the memories of the past in the second season to ancient Egypt, so we included Woodwinds and singing in the Middle East. It is the first time that we brought to us. Castlevania Outside the borders of Europe. “
In addition to the tools collection, Toy and Morris spent a lot of time to plan the additional singing before the animation is ready. Singing and music was decisive to the arch of Annette, Edward (Sydney James Harkort). “He is the opera singer who turned into a night creature performing works of classic ammunition during the series. We worked with Sydney on a large scale to produce that and make sure they work with the scene. That was a large part of the process earlier in the first episode’s recording.”
Some final ideas
A game of a group of well -known projects has been composed, including Haloand King of Tolsaand Fear of walking dead and Marvel agents of the shield. He started as an assistant Morris in 2016 during 2016 Castlevania Before becoming a member of his employees the following year. Since then, he worked periodically with Morris on other projects. He believes that time really helped him in his career and cooperation. “Trevor was also my first music teacher and in terms of the craft of placing music on the image. From a stylistic point of view, it was difficult to know where my music and the place of start. Work with it is smooth,” Tuy said.
There is no word yet about whether Netflix will light up another season of Lemon Or a new series. You will feel an overwhelming game “See Castlevania The series was manufactured for 20 or 30 years “for the fans, especially while leaving a lot of video game content to benefit from them. In this series, we haven’t seen Riccker fighting Dracula.”
the Castlevania: Nocturne The graphic music for season 2 is available on Spotify And other digital platforms.
