Trash Panic (GOMIBAKO in Japan) recently debuted in Western territories for the Playstation 3's Playstation Network. The addictive refuse-themed puzzler was previously featured alongside PixelJunk Eden at last year's Sense of Wonder Night at the Tokyo Game Show.

A product of Playstation CAMP, a training ground for independent game creators in Japan, the title strikes a balance between high production values and modest ambitions. The benefits of the decidedly compact downloadable title are in its affordable cost and the instant accessibility of "smashin' stuff"-based gameplay.

The score to Trash Panic is by Fujikado Taro and Tomoyuki Kato of Mega-Alpha Inc. The Tokyo-based music studio, headed by composer Noriyuki Asakura, has participated in writing music for the Tenchu and Way of the Samurai game series, along with animated films and television series.

In this installment of the Nobuooo video series the musicians discuss how they re-used, re-cycled and re-sampled audio for the green-themed puzzle game. The conversation offers a glimpse into how Mega-Alpha scavenged found audio objects from sound sample libraries for an upbeat mix of dance music and orchestral, supplemented by live recordings by experienced Tokyo-based musicians.
