Megalo Strikes Back - I Miss You - Earthbound 2012 From the collaborative EarthBound fan-album I was a part of a while back. Clearly callback to the final boss theme in the original game, in both instrumentation and structure. I’m not as good at writing dissonant, alien metal, so I took a more melodic approach, integrating the low-intensity NES section into the rest of the song instead of dropping it once the guitars kick in. The melodic section is a little bit inspired by Malcolm Brown’s Rex Duodecim Angelus. I snuck in some warping, pitch-bended bass notes like the original did. See if you can hear them at 1:09-1:15. Another little musical detail that I’m proud of is that I managed to re-use the sample from the guitar solo that plays on the opening Gas Station screen of the game. The name is clearly a shout-out to Mother 2’s original subtitle: “Gyiyg Strikes Back!” It’s also a reference to Megalovania, the other boss song I made using EarthBound instrumentation for a ROM Hack I created during my junior year of High School.

Insanity Calamity Made for the VGMusic forums sample-pack contest. Everyone who intended to enter sent in 3 WAV samples of under 4 seconds and length and the challenge was to make a song using only the samples that everybody pooled together. Kind of a like-it-or-hate-it kind of deal. It’s very repetitive, with most of the development being the addition of harmonies over the melody. All of the transitions are bothersomely sudden. Each successive section takes something from the last one before dropping what it had before, until we go back to the beginning again… Really harsh soundscape and lead, but I think it sounded cool anyway. Might be a dealbreaker to some of you… however, you might want to check out the samples I had to work with… I ended up not using most of them, but darn! Anyway, this was a fun little experiment and I’m proud of how it came out (plus I placed 7th out of like 28 entries, which isn’t bad!). I’ll link everyone else’s entries when they’re organized, a lot of them are really worth listening to.

obligatory drum loop

also they’re animated gifs right now because that’s how they’re formatted on the photoshop files and I’m not in the mood to separate them yet. 

Checkerboard Memories - EarthBound I Miss You 2012 There are a lot of chill songs in EarthBound with rolly-snare drum loops, chill chords, and poppy, droopy bass. Hospital definitely comes to mind, as does the Select Your File theme. This song is essentially a fusion of those two tracks to create something chill and faux-nostalgic. It’s always nice to make something that isn’t punching you in the face.

unfinished fooling around with bliptunes

got an idea for a song it’s called moonsetter

just a musical doodle that I probably won’t finish unless I get a reason to concept-wise it kind of reminds me of a scrapped song for Die I wrote about how even if he goes to a seemingly better universe, things will always end up terrible for him. so that’s kind of what I imagine.
