Nie von geh\u00f6rt!\u201c &#8211; In der Tat ist der Mann selbst unter verr\u00fcckten Videospielmusikfans ein Unbekannter, obgleich er sowohl als Director, Designer, Grafiker und eben Musiker t\u00e4tig war. Dabei ist <b>Agent Armstrong <\/b>sein einzig mir bekannte Werk, das komplett auf Orchesterkl\u00e4nge setzt. Zwar nutzt Myers solche auch in <b>Galaga: Destination Earth<\/b>, wo sie jedoch in zahlreichen wie chaotischen Technoelementen untergehen.<\/p>\n<p>Das W\u00f6rtchen \u201eOrchester\u201c geh\u00f6rt freilich eingeklammert, denn die Synthesizer-Herkunft ist unverkennbar. Aber das st\u00f6rte anno 1997 niemanden, insbesondere weil Myers gesampelte Instrumente zu den \u201eechtesten\u201c ihrer Zeit geh\u00f6rten. Besonders die herrlich tief dr\u00f6hnenden Bl\u00e4ser klingen erstaunlich authentisch.<\/p>\n<p>Das Spiel<b> Agent Armstrong<\/b> selbst ist kein Kind von Traurigkeit, weshalb die Musik sch\u00f6n pomp\u00f6s und episch aus den Lautsprechern kracht. Anstatt hektischer Action dominieren langsame wie kraftvolle Tonfolgen. Der einzige Nachteil des Scores liegt in der Natur des Orchesters: Die St\u00fccke klingen allesamt sehr \u00e4hnlich und demnach austauschbar.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<br \/>\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\"  id=\"_ytid_47641\"  width=\"576\" height=\"432\"  data-origwidth=\"576\" data-origheight=\"432\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/FapqWkz_Xik?enablejsapi=1&#038;autoplay=0&#038;cc_load_policy=0&#038;cc_lang_pref=&#038;iv_load_policy=1&#038;loop=0&#038;rel=1&#038;fs=1&#038;playsinline=0&#038;autohide=2&#038;theme=dark&#038;color=red&#038;controls=1&#038;disablekb=0&#038;\" class=\"__youtube_prefs__  epyt-is-override  no-lazyload\" title=\"YouTube player\"  allow=\"fullscreen; accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen data-no-lazy=\"1\" data-skipgform_ajax_framebjll=\"\"><\/iframe><br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.theawardian.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/06\/Agent_Armstrong_Playstation_CD-e1434075879553.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-large wp-image-2169\" alt=\"Agent_Armstrong_[Playstation_CD]\" src=\"https:\/\/www.theawardian.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/06\/Agent_Armstrong_Playstation_CD-e1434075879553-1005x1024.jpg\" width=\"576\" height=\"586\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.theawardian.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/06\/Agent_Armstrong_Playstation_CD-e1434075879553-1005x1024.jpg 1005w, https:\/\/www.theawardian.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/06\/Agent_Armstrong_Playstation_CD-e1434075879553-294x300.jpg 294w, https:\/\/www.theawardian.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/06\/Agent_Armstrong_Playstation_CD-e1434075879553.jpg 1445w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 576px) 100vw, 576px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Composer: Jolyon Myers System: PlayStation Year: 1997<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[13,15],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-2168","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-score","category-personal-top-365-score"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.theawardian.de\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2168","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.theawardian.de\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.theawardian.de\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.theawardian.de\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.theawardian.de\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=2168"}],"version-history":[{"count":5,"href":"https:\/\/www.theawardian.de\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2168\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":2335,"href":"https:\/\/www.theawardian.de\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2168\/revisions\/2335"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.theawardian.de\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=2168"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.theawardian.de\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=2168"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.theawardian.de\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=2168"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
