Title: Legend of Wukong's composer an award winner?
Post by: codeman38 on April 01, 2011, 09:00:04 AM

The music in The Earth Defend and Legend of Wukong was done by a fellow named Ya-min Hsu-- or, as the latter's Chinese credits render it, 許雅民.

So I decided, as usual, to search for those Chinese characters.

What I found was... rather unexpected.

I guess this biographical sketch (http://www.tpf.org.tw/publish/compose.htm) (Google translation (http://translate.google.com/translate?hl=en&sl=zh-TW&u=http://www.tpf.org.tw/publish/compose.htm&ei=qsiVTdXKLPSO0QGk_bmBDA&sa=X&oi=translate&ct=result&resnum=9&ved=0CF8Q7gEwCDgU&prev=/search%3Fq%3D%25E8%25A8%25B1%25E9%259B%2585%25E6%25B0%2591%26start%3D20%26hl%3Den%26client%3Dfirefox-a%26hs%3DmZe%26sa%3DN%26rls%3Dorg.mozilla:en-US:official%26prmd%3Divns)) is of the same guy? Same exact characters, and... well, he's definitely a composer.

I'm curious what the chances are that two Taiwanese musicians would share the exact same name. Oddly, the only hit I can find mentioning both this guy's name and 悟空外傳 (Legend of Wukong) is taizou's GM-95 page!

Wow. yeah, i wonder if it's the same guy - that bio doesn't mention any game work, but maybe he doesn't consider it a high point of his career and would rather keep quiet about it :D
I always liked the music in Wukong though.
