Press release:
SAN DIEGO – JANUARY 26, 2021.
Scarlet Moon Artists is pleased to announce the addition of composer Peter Jones to their renowned roster of talent.

Jones has been making a name for himself in videogames and animation, having contributed to 2020’s fantasy-filled metroidvania Monster Sanctuary as well as the upcoming magic school role-playing game Lawmage Academy. He contributed a remix to the official RWBY Volume 7 soundtrack and continues to work on high-profile videogame and animation projects.

In addition to his composition work, Jones is an avid talkboxer with a YouTube channel dedicated to his versions of videogame, anime, and pop hits, and has also contributed to Materia Collective’s catalog of tribute albums with arrangements dedicated to Chrono Trigger, Xenogears, and The Legend of Zelda: Majora’s Mask. Teaming up with Scarlet Moon will allow Jones to focus his attention on composition and audio production and work on a diverse range of projects in the years to come.

“This is the first time we’ve brought on new talent since Emi Evans joined in 2016,” reflects Scarlet Moon’s Jayson Napolitano.

“It’s a big decision for us, but we knew Peter would be a great fit with his unique sound and incredible versatility. We’re also huge fans of his talkboxing endeavors and we know our creative partners will be charmed by Peter’s talent and exuberance.”

“To say it is an honor working among such brilliant and laborious composers is an understatement,” comments composer Peter Jones.

“I’m looking forward to continuing to grow as an artist and to give my all to current and future projects!”

Jones will find himself in good company among Scarlet Moon’s intimate roster of talent which includes Hitoshi Sakimoto (Final Fantasy Tactics, Valkyria Chronicles), Hiroki Kikuta (Secret of Mana), Norihiko Hibino (Metal Gear Solid series), Shinji Hosoe (Zero Escape, Ridge Racer), Emi Evans (NieR, Dark Souls), Osamu Kubota (Beatmania), Goomin “Nauts” Nam (Ragnarok Online, Langrisser), Justin Lassen (Underworld, My Little Pony Remixed), Dale North (Wizard of Legend, Dreamscaper), and coda (Read Only Memories: Neurodiver).
