Ryo Yamazaki

Biography

Ryo Yamazaki (山崎良) is a Japanese video game music synthesizer programmer currently working at Square Enix. He has also created several compositions for Front Mission 4, Front Mission Online, and Dirge of Cerberus: Final Fantasy VII.

While the composers seem to attract the most attention in the video game industry, the quality of Yamazaki's instrument sampling has made him a name among video game music fans. It was his programming that brought a highly realistic feel to Yasunori Mitsuda's Chrono Cross, for example. However, his most prolific work stems from his ongoing collaborations with Masashi Hamauzu.
