According to this week's issue of Famitsu magazine after his unexpected departure from Konami Akira Yamaoka, Silent Hill series composer and producer, has signed on with Grasshopper Manufacture game studio.

"I really love Yamaoka," Grasshopper head Goichi Suda said in an interview. "Ever since I saw a video of Silent Hill 2 at the Tokyo Game Show nine years ago, I've always dreamed of working alongside him. That's why I thought I'd invite him over when I started hearing rumors that he left Konami."

"It was a case of really good timing," Yamaoka told Famitsu. "I knew about Suda long before I met him; I saw Grasshopper as one of those few Japanese outfits whose games can appeal to an overseas audience. I had a chance to meet him in Los Angeles and we talked about this and that, and once we started discussing how we wanted to do something creative for a world audience, I was hooked on the company."

Grasshopper Manufacture was founded in 1998 by the famous game designer Goichi Suda (also known as Suda51) and is notorious for such titles as No More Heroes and Killer 7. Yamaoka has already contributed tracks to studio's latest game No More Heroes 2 (listen to one of the tracks on YouTube) and according to the source he will be put to work on an untitled action horror game for Electronic Arts codeveloped with Q Entertainment and produced by Resident Evil creator Shinji Mikami. The project is expected to be announced at E3 trade show later this year. Although his current tasks involve only composing music for Grasshopper's games, Yamaoka indicates that he would like to use his "total sum of experience" to create games in the future.
