At
this year's Anime Expo in Los
Angeles, California, Mary
Elizabeth McGlynn was honored as
one of the few English speaking
focus panel guests. While the
majority of the focus panel
pertained with her anime work,
she did begin the presentation
of a sample of her work on the
Silent Hill 0rigins soundtrack
with a brief discussion about
her collaboration with Akira
Yamaoka. This is one of the only
interviews/discussions where she
discusses her experiences in the
creation/performance process.
YouTube.com - Mary Elizabeth McGlynn Focus Panel (Part 1) Additionally, in a written interview with Mary Elizabeth McGlynn, she manages to talk a little more about the music of Silent Hill, particularly with the recording process and with the song "Waiting for You." She explains that Joe Romersa is the contact between Akira Yamaoka and herself, and that Joe Romersa is the one who writes the lyrics for the songs. Additionally, she reveals that "Waiting for You" is indeed a studio recorded song and not live public performance. However, they also bring up the idea of having a concert of Silent Hill music performed at the next Anime Expo in 2008. |

The
Silent Hill series goes mobile
again. The new game Silent Hill:
The Escape for cellurar phones
was announced during Konami's
pre-TGS press conference held
yesterday.
"The Silent Hill series' mobile installments features authentically gritty 3D visuals, but its gameplay is what really intrigues us. Rather than be controlled with traditional button-based inputs, The Escape instead has an interface built around the cell phone camera. By interpreting camera feed data, the game will be able to determine the direction a player is facing or moving and move the on-screen action accordingly. Players will also aim at enemies by pointing the camera. It could be disastrous in execution, but it's certainly an ambitious concept." |

German magazine Playzone has

but now in good quality as well
as a concept art of the main
hero of the game.

"Hi! We are
the Liminal Recs - a Silent Hill
fans' net-label based at the
SilentHill.ru/forum. In the
beginning of this year we began
our work on the Silent Hill
Inspired Album, following the
traditions of Akira Yamaoka'
music and Broken Notes project.
And finally it's finished.
Liminality (that's the title)
became the most important
release for us, so we did our
best! We tried to include all
sides of Silent Hill music -
trip-hop, rock, ambient, dark
ambient, piano compositions,
industrial stuff - we have it
all! When compiling the
tracklist, we wanted to create
some kind of journey around the
city, favourite locations and
scenes, not just a bunch of
tracks. And I think, we did it
well."
You can download the album in the Music section. 2 hours of music from 12 composers won't dissapoint fans of Silent Hill and Broken Notes. It's really worth listening! |

The mysterious title Silent Hill: Orphan presented in Leipzig turned out to be a game for mobile phones. It's one of three games which Konami brings to this platform this autumn. The other two are PES 2008 and Castlevania: Aria of Sorrow. It's gonna be the second time Silent Hill appears on mobile - the first mobile Silent Hill was released in Japan only last year. Now it came time for Europe and USA. Silent Hill: Orphan will take action within the walls of an abandoned orphanage in the fog-shrouded town. It will use first-person view and point-and-click gameplay. Apparently the games's story is somehow connected with the Silent Hill movie's and so it's going to reveal more truth and add some details about the town. The game will offer three playable characters to discover hidden secrets. Silent Hill: Orphan is going to be the first of three mobile games to be released this autumn - it is scheduled for this September. Some screenshots of the game in the Silent Hill: Orphan section. |
