Brief Profile
Mitsuto Suzuki started his career creating electronic solo albums and Erik Satie remixes. These works were critically praised for their ambient and minimalistic use of electronica. In 1997, he founded the Japanese techno-pop unit Overrocket with co-producer Takashi Watanabe and female vocalist Michiyo Honda. The group produced five albums, multiple singles, and several other remixes.
After contributing a Gymnopédie remix for Keyboardmania 2nd Mix, Suzuki contributed several remixes for the beatmania IIDX series and Zone of the Enders: The 2nd Runner. In 2006, he decided to become a full-time synthesizer operator at Square Enix, but still produced electronic music for their bootleg series. This culminated in the In My Own Backyard solo album being released on iTunes.
At Square Enix, Suzuki initially implemented parts of the scores for Project Sylpheed and Heroes of Mana. He subsequently integrated Final Fantasy remixes for the Wii's Chocobo Dungeon and blended Masashi Hamauzu's acoustic works with his own electronic experimentation for the DS' Sigma Harmonics. He has also produced remixes for The World Ends With You and Square Enix Battle Tracks Vol. 1.
