Artist Interview: Goomin “Nauts” Nam

Leave a comment

Goomin “Nauts” Nam is a renowned composer in his native South Korea, and as a game music enthusiast, I’ve been a longtime fan. When I started Scarlet Moon, it was important to create awareness around the amazing game music coming out of South Korea, including that of Goomin with his work Monarch: Heroes of a New Age, which was one of the first releases on our label. He’s worked on popular titles such as Ragnarok Online, DJMAX, Bar Oasis, Langrisser, and so many more, bringing his incredible melodic sensibilities and production to fans around the globe.

Read his full biography, credits list, and hear some sample music on his Scarlet Moon Artists page. Check below for an interview with Goomin Nam about his style, inspirations, and collaboration with Scarlet Moon.

Special Order: Winter’s Hedgehog by Tellement

Leave a comment

We have a special release just in time for the winter season. Scarlet Moon Artists’s own Goomin “Nauts’ Nam started recording with a Korean indie pop/rock band called Tellement, who celebrated the release of their debut album, Winter’s Hedgehog, in early 2014. You can read reviews of the album on Higher Plain Music and VGM Online. The album features catchy melodies and a slow winter’s pace that is perfect for the holidays and beyond, but it’s been hard to get a hold of outside of Korea.

Scarlet Moon Records is pleased to announce that we’re now taking special orders for Tellement’s Winter’s Hedgehog. Ordering will be simple, with payment handled through PayPal. Email jayson[at]scarletmoonproductions.com for instructions and order total (international shipping rates will apply).

As an added bonus, we’ll be including special authentic Bar Oasis coasters with each order. For those who are unfamiliar, Bar Oasis is a popular iOS drink-making simulation title by Corners Studio with music by Goomin Nam. The game and soundtrack are definitely worth your attention, so check them out, and enjoy a free heavy-duty coaster with your order of Winter’s Hedgehog.
