Sylph is a tribute to Takeshi Miyaji of Game Arts and G-Mode and a love letter to the original 1986 title Silpheed for the PC-8801. Musical inspiration is taken from the MS-DOS port’s Roland MT-32 score as composed by Mecano Associates and arranged by Mark Seibert, and is being composed and arranged by Mordi. If you’re not familiar with Silpheed, it is a science fiction shoot’em up that treated the genre with a level of respect, sophistication and technical supremacy unseen at the time. Sylph progresses across 20 areas from Earth to Pluto before the final confrontation with the battleship Gloire and terrorist leader Xacalite at the helm. Earn additional weaponry as you blast your way through this hard-nosed, old-school shooter.
A showcase of Mordi's excellent soundtrack work for Sylph, including three new pieces in progress.
Please bless the mess, as I'm working on improving stage-specific lighting (among other things) for the upcoming Alpha 5 release. Until then, enjoy the music!
