Title: Amusement Park
Game: NieR:Automata
Composer: Keigo Hoashi
Arranger: Sami Louguit
Featuring: Ben Cho, Thomas Chung, Stephanie Do, Karenna Foley, William Gu, Jess Huang, Michael Kwan, Sami Louguit, Isaac Thomas, Ian Wang
In a post-apocalyptic Earth dominated by violence and desolation, environment hardly seems relevant to the android protagonists of NieR:Automata. A dilapidated amusement park proves the pair wrong: rather than the mindless alien machines they are used to, 2B and 9S are instead greeted by fun-loving robots playing amongst the rides, even waving about white flags of peace. “Amusement Park” provides an eccentric, progressive rock backdrop as the duo explore this peaceful area. The lyrics are written in a “Chaos” conlang, which predicts what the merging of the world’s languages might sound like thousands of years into the future. The majority of the lyrics in “Amusement Park” contain elements of Gaelic, German, and French.
This piece was performed at our Spring 2022 Small Ensemble Concert in Gildenhorn Recital Hall. Follow us on our social media platforms or visit our website to stay up-to-date on our latest events and performances!
