Browse piano sheets by ACE+ on Zen Virtual Piano. Tomori Kudo and Hiroyo CHiCO Yamanaka made up ACE; once Kenji Hiramatsu joined them the group became ACE+, with a plus sign, a trio. A member recalls that their sisters took piano, harpsichord and clarinet lessons while they studied violin, in a house where classical music was always on, and says that as a small child they liked hitting the piano keys to make noise. A member says parents made them take electone and piano lessons from kindergarten until about fifth grade, and that they took up guitar in high school in order to pursue music. Piano turning up in both recollections hints at the instrument being a common starting point. Everyone's Tamagotchi was the first game ACE worked on, and their tasks included making sound effects as well as composing. A house where classical music was always on, beside a first game that called for sound effects, may suggest a move from classical beginnings into game audio. A member says the roles are not exactly defined: sometimes one member comes up with an idea and develops it into a song, and Tomori then arranges it. A member says that at the beginning they were told the aim was catchy music you can listen to for hours without getting bored, without too much impact, and that the hope is for music that is catchy while multifaceted. One member names cutting edge and freedom as their own mottos. Loosely defined roles, beside a stated hope for catchy yet multifaceted music, may suggest a flexible way of working. Mottos of cutting edge and freedom, set beside music meant to be listened to for hours, may point to two different aims. Heard by day on the Bionis' Leg, apart from the Refugee Camp, and in the Colony 6 area outside the colony proper, Gaur Plain is a Xenoblade Chronicles field track, composed and arranged by ACE+, that sits as track 7 of disc 3 on the original soundtrack. To celebrate the release of Xenoblade Chronicles 3D, ACE+ performed five songs live with a string quartet, including Gaur Plain, and the group recorded four remastered tracks for Xenoblade Chronicles: Definitive Edition. Gaur Plain being heard in several named areas, beside its place in the live set, may hint at a track closely tied to the game's landscape.
