Nobuo Uematsu has said of his upbringing, “My father was a teacher, and my mother was a domestic wife…there was no music learning in the home.” He has also said, “I’ve never studied music. I’ve never studied composition or learned an instrument. I simply wanted to make music by myself, so I started playing around with it.” In 1987 he wrote the soundtrack for Final Fantasy. A musician who says he never studied, writing that soundtrack, makes an unlikely-sounding start for a long career. He has explained that the NES made only electronic sounds like “peee,” “booo” and “paaa,” so expressing emotion was tough, and that he would shape a sound such as “pwaoo” by changing the way it faded in and out. Shaping a plain electronic tone through its fade reads like the workaround of someone learning by trying. He has said, “Basically, what I’m trying to do is write good melodies. No matter what the hardware is, no matter what kind of sound is produced, as long as the melody is really nice, I think that you can listen to it on anything.” Melody as the constant and the hardware as the variable is a tidy way to read a composer who wrote for limited electronic sound. One concert, “20020220: Music from Final Fantasy,” became a hit and later provided the basis for many of his other orchestral concerts, including the six-city, seven-show “Tour of Japan - Music from Final Fantasy.” The “Prelude,” the “Final Fantasy” theme and the “Chocobo” theme, which originated in Final Fantasy and Final Fantasy II, have survived through the years. A concert that grew into a touring series suggests how far a console melody could travel once it left the console. Britain’s Classic FM, which has placed him several times in its Hall of Fame, has referred to him as the “Beethoven of game music.” He has also performed live in concert with his band Earthbound Papas. A nickname borrowed from the classical tradition, for a composer who says he never studied it, makes an unexpected full circle.
