Beats To The Theme of a Baked Pie

posted in OHC805 on Mar 14, 2024
play_arrow

This is a different kind of beat, in that the drums are entirely based off PI. Let me explain.


I created 9 patterns of drums, each different, and each assigned to a time signature. The time signature goes through the 9 numbers that are used in Pi.


So it would be 1/1 3/4 5/4 etc, etc.


The number 0 is represented by a vocal effect, saying GO. This is reverbed, delayed and assigned to 1 bar of 4/4.


The track then cycles through as many digits of PI as 6 minutes will allow me, until the end. The drums do not stop, aside from the filters that are used throughout.


In terms of melody and harmony, the chords keep to 4/4, but extend over a period of 36, as does the bassline also in 4/4. I tried to go for a weird major feel, to keep it melodic, whilst also being experimental. The melody is very long and dynamically varied, going through various notes and phrases until the end. There are breaks in the melody for what is essentially a drum or bass solo, to avoid repetition or constant dynamics. Lastly i threw in a voice sample, and more melodic embellishments, to allow for less repetition, more variety. All in all this is very cool stuff, hope you enjoy!

This is not just your average techno track, but a techno track that is kind of semi-industrial, mechanical sounding and also quite experimental. It has a pounding beat from start to finish, but i went through quite a lot of different effects to create the various texture changes you hear throughout, all from a single synth. It was my way of stretching as much as i could from a simple sound. All in all i like the interesting approach here, there's more to explore. Hope you enjoy!

This track is a combination of a few ideas, mostly in the atmospheric bracket, but still within a electronic framework. The bulk comes from this sort of space progression in G#, whilst over sounds are adding onto it, in the form of a dynamic melody, pad chords and arps. It's all about being in space. To add a groove i place some breakbeats in, which are all manipulated to make something funky, as well as a bassline which is slightly syncopated to also make it groovy. For the rest of the track i was really just throwing in whatever ideas i could, hence why it's more of a Section to Section type of track (Minus the ending, which brings it all full circle), with each section having it's own idea, be it rhythmical, or just straight up airy sounding. Either way i tried to convey a lot of space ideas into this one, and i don't think it sounds half bad. Enjoy!

I'm back to hard techno this week, but this time using a lot of laser type sounds, and filter effects. I wasn't planning on doing so, but the theme chosen was a bit unusual, so i reverted to Hard Techno for this one. It's also good, because i've been researching the distinctive rumbly techno kick, as i want to make techno music without the need to go through 5 different drum samples. I feel in order to make a rumbly kickdrum i have to make 5 different sounds into a kick, which shouldn't be the case, so researching has help me reduce it to just one or two. Of course there's percussion in this, and smaller kicks for sort of colour, but ultimately it's just one or two single hits doing most of the work. That's all, i hope you enjoy!

I almost fell into another beat-block, and had to rely on something old, until i remembered a sample of some Turkish instrument i forgot the name off, and decided well if the theme is Leap of Faith, then i need to showcase i can take risks, so i opted for something that is either the coolest thing, or the most painful and annoying, plus i don't want to be known for just doing the same thing, and well, it's nice that a compo of this size allows for freedom for experimentation as well as encouraging harder styles of noise. All in all it's....interesting. It's a Marmite track, you love it or hate it. Have fun!

I mean the theme is dust right? What more could you ask for?


More or less 80 percent of the samples used in this track come from Dusty Springfield, whilst the rest are external sources or other oddities. This is ignoring the plethora of breaks used in this track. At the time i was routing through her records in hopes i can get a fun play on the theme, but instead i found some sick rock and roll styled samples, that surprisingly really compliment the drums here. The bluesy rock and roll sample however, doesn't work with the other Dusty samples i had to ripped, so the resulting track is mostly me being creative, trying to stretch the sample as much as i can, whilst the remaining Dusty samples are merely to compliment it as such. I also threw in a long breakdown/buildup to the finish, because why not, and also to avoid repetition. All in all, i like this a lot, it's different. Enjoy!

"Me and my bae are living the best life right now. Beautiful views, amazing music, it's so chill. Excuse me, could i get another Strawberry Daiquiri please?"


I'm not sure what brand of house this is, but it's very much a chillout kind of house. For the most part it's 2 chords, played in a very open way, resulting in some calming sort of uplifting chords that essentially carry throughout, for a essentially 2 bar loop. This is complimented though by a very funky bassline, a 303 like synth, and an array of vibraphones and other mallet goodies, to keep it from being very repetitive, which this track is, but not in a bad way. If you think of Tech House or any other DJ mix for that matter, the tracks that they play can often be just one to two bar phrases, that are done very well. My track is really building from that but in a chill way. It's the kind of free-flowing chill track that is just perfect for sipping cocktails to. Hope you enjoy!

play_arrow

This track is essentially a bunch of manipulated guitar loops, mixed with some soft beats, done in a kind of breakbeat style. It's meant to be not only chill, but have a slight bit of nostalgia thrown in too. Sometimes i come out with some unique creations i will say. I also threw in some mallet melodies on various instruments, including a glockenspiel, a vibraphone and even a marimba, just to add some texture to this piece. For the most part we stick to 2 chords, so it's not the most adventurous, but it is quite happy and uplifting in a way. All in all it's a pretty cool piece. Have fun!

Sometimes the most simple types of music are the best. As much as i could go for really complex melodies, i didn't. Instead i opted for simple pad chords, playing very spooky notes, followed by some drones, various sound effects, that sound like something big has fallen, some screams and of course the star of the show, the intense distorted triplet beat, which is really a kick with a delay. The track goes through a lot of pad notes, to make for some super tense atmosphere. The beat doesn't go away, the pads change dynamically, and there is an emphasis on sonic texture. It's not very accessible in the slightest, you will feel pretty nervous listening to this. All in all it's pretty cool stuff, hope you enjoy!

Plain and Simple, this is DnB. From the menacing build-up to the drop, all the way to the breakdown, there isn't really anything else to say. It's as Drum and Bass as it gets. It's probably not the best DnB track i've ever made, however i do like the results a lot, as it's not loud of obnoxious. It's basically a track a with a bit of an attitude. Unlike other DnB tracks i've done, this one has more emphasis on sound design and texture, than chords and melodies. All in all, i hope you enjoy!

This is a remix of a track i constructed in round 640. I went for this, for two reasons. First off, i sometimes feel like old entries could definately benefit from a rework, and this felt perfect. But also i consider this piece somewhat special and here's why:


  1. This piece is versatile, allowing for multiple directions to be taken. It's a piece that i feel is always changing, to fit new ideas and styles.
  2. It's a piece that fits my personality in general, and is adaptable for any mood. It's either hyper energetic and crazy, or just chill and peaceful, like me and my music.
  3. It brings me waves of nostalgia, from when i was in my early days doing this compo. It reminds me of my crazy era when i was just presenting you with this WTF kind of attitude lol.
  4. It's nice to share something that represents me on a plate.


Consider this the official TVG anthem.


All in all i hope you enjoy this remix! I had a lot of fun making it. For those sceptical i did spend a lot of time on it, it isn't just a rush job or a lazy submission, effort was made. Have fun! Oh i forgot the link to the round: https://compo.thasauce.net/rounds/view/OHC640

This is basically trance music, with a heavy looped bassline, a thick chord progression in the middle, and a sort of very slightly modified ending, as a way to bring it all together. It's not a complex piece in terms of melody, but it has got a lot of intensity to it, and the track is structured kind of like a trance piece, so it isn't just straight up repetitive or boring. There is sidechain in this, so it might be either too much, or just right. I was too focused on the overall mix to care about the sidechain, hence why it might be a bit much. Either way it is cool, and i'm glad to submit. All in all i hope you like it!

I'm sorry but i was desperate, this theme was so hard. Beat block absolutely sucks :(


This track is basically a rework of a very very old 2hts entry, that i decided to spruce up with some more mixing, some new reverb and distortion effects, and a couple more sounds to keep it interesting, whilst i still retained that slow building energy. It's a track that keeps on building from the start to the finish, before the climatic explosion. It's mostly pad sounds and distorted streams of water, all filtered with volume increases. Next week i'll make some good music, and not spend 25 minutes on this crap....


Have fun anyways.....

This track is my approximation of Math Metal but in a DnB form. I think it's been done before, but i sort of did it utilizing some whacky time signatures, and crazy synth reeses and basslines. To keep it interesting i added a chord progression at the start that is a bridge between the sections, with the 2nd half including also a gabber section, because why not. The 2nd drop is just a copy and paste, because i didn't have time for any changes. Besides i spent a lot of time on the drop because of all the math metal material. It's an interesting genre hybrid. Hope you like it!

I don't know what the themes are, but someone suggested twins, and i saw the connection, so i'm rolling with it.


In spirit of the weird theme, i went for a light-hearted track that takes the concept of doppelganger to a whole new level lol. I took an 8 bar funky sequence and made that the basis of my track. It's very swung, has a lot of blues notes, and is just a very fun sequence that is turned into a super fun and high energy dance track. Whole thing is 135bpm so essentially house tempo. For 6 minutes there isn't really a major section change, it's just that with other stuff added throughout, minus the breakdown in the middle. Is it repetitive? Kinda. Is it perhaps brickwalled? A bit. Can you argue it's a ton of fun? I think it is, but i'm not the judge in this situation, you are. End of the day, it's not a complete troll entry, but it is a little bit humorous. Whatever, you love it, or cannot stand it, at least i got something in huh? Have fun!

My first idea went south, because i didn't like the mixing at all, it felt way too crushed. This is why i'm not really cut out to make Jumpstyle, but what i did have was an extremely loose sketch i did a while ago, that i added a lot of expansions to, to make it into a really hard hitting dance number. It's like house and techno combined, although not really tech house if you get me, because of it's nature. It's somewhere between there. The samples mostly come from Timbaland and Janet Jackson, plus some vocal repeating the name Thomas Edison. It can be a little repetitive, but that's the nature of the genre, it is deliberate. All in all, i hope you like it. Enjoy!

"The perks of being an astronaut is the view. You would never get this back on earth"


This track is summed up as a kind of unique atmospheric number. The closest thing to ambient, without it being called ambient. It's got a lot of rich delayed synth and piano chords, 3 layers of pads, including orch strings, a choir and a synth pad, as well as a dynamic melody on 2 synths, with the other being counterpoint to the main melody. It's very simplistic sure, but remember this is only 56 BPM, and the track itself takes 30-40 seconds before any repeating happens. There is also a bit of a mismatch in time signatures, with the drums and bass being almost 3/4 and the rest 4/4. Th Lastly to keep it from being too chaotic, and to add a bit of emotional depth, i stuck it a dynamic piano finish, to slowly fade this piece off. All in all it's very cool, and has a lot of rich melodic material. Enjoy!

I went out of my normal producing zone, largely because i wanted to do other stuff that didn't involve Techno, Hardcore or Hip-Hop, my 3 most produced genres so far. This track is kind of weird, in that it involves a looped breakbeat, that undergoes a bit of a reverse effect, that sounds like some kind of pully. It's effectively 2 breaks, one with the effect, one without. The track features an intense selection of ambient elements, restricted to mostly 1 chord, in a drone type piece, because experimentation is cool. The track isn't just break and chord though, there is an intro that builds up to the drop, a middle section with a filter that slowly morphs back into the drop, as well as a monologue of what Orange Juice and why Florida is the main producer of it. It's just unique stuff that i hope you at least enjoy. It might be a little sharp, because i opted for a very hi-hat heavy break. Oh well, enjoy!

"You know i kinda glad i moved here, this is one hell of a view you cannot replicate in the city"


I'm still not 100 percent, so i'm not sure if the quality of the track is affected as a result, but the overall result still sounds very nice, but we'll leave it to you guys to decide. Because of how pretty and well...calming the theme is, i went for a bit of an obvious. However i didn't want it to be just chords and simple drums, so i went for a more unusual approach. Have it flow more in a psychedelic way, as well as feature a more intense genre than i would probably normally do (Although i have done DnB with stuff like this). This track is basically Trance Happy Hardcore if that was a thing lol. Very happy melodies (Literally no minor keys in sight), and a whole host of breakbeat and kickdrum loops being chopped into fills throughout. Each different section comes with it's own different sounds being weaved in and out, aside from the middle part which is the main melody and chord progression. All in all it's a TVG track trying to not to sound like TVG, but still ending up sounding like TVG if you get me haha. Enjoy!

I'm back to Jumpstyle this week (Although i don't recall ever making a Jumpstyle track for 2hts, but hey ho, you're getting it anyways. I initially wanted to go faster, but i felt it was a little bit of a cliché, and i though Jumpstyle isn't really a genre i've done in quite some time now, so why not. The track is built of out 2 main synth layers, that become the "drop". One being white noise and the other FM. During the build-up i include some pad and bass sounds for a it of weight, and a dainty synth riff towards the end of each drop, to keep it somewhat melodic. All in all fun stuff, enjoy!

Since you gave me a hard hitting theme, i went for a hard hitting topic. This song is about how bad Domestic Violence is, and how it can affect someone. As much as i hate cheating, i would never reduce someone to tears, because it showcases you as the problem, and not them. Look at the end of the day i think Domestic Violence is not ok. That's the key theme here. I used to a TTS voice for the lyrics, and i tried to match it to the beat as best as i could. Not my strong suit, but this is definately something different from me, as it's more hard hitting, and has lyrics about an intense topic. You give me themes like this, expect music like this. The track is just a bogstandard hip-hop like beat, with a guitar progression and a synth embellishment. Melodic it's very simple as it's the vocals that needed to shine, not the music. Overall it's definately something new and unexpected from me, hope you enjoy!


Lyrics:


Verse 1:

Let me start by saying you might think differently, 

 but i can sense there is something at least to me. 

 The people in the photo look psychically distraught. 

 And if there is one thing i have been taught, 

 is that aside from me rapping terrible bars 

 If i see a woman with tears and scars 

 I know something is wrong and i will not be afraid 

 to say it because i don't want this to be like a blade 

 to my throat, yes i am not comfortable, 

 In fact i am definately uncomfortable 

 Because i know in this case i am witnessing D V 

 I see it everywhere even on TV 

 People are saying it's just a breakup or a divorce 

 I see it as nothing but brute force. 

 Why would a woman be crying if she is the cheater 

 Or rather did we witness an angry guy beat her? 

 I have to say i don't condone D V 

 And i know this truth isn't easy 

 But no man or woman should have to go through this. 

 Even if you don't care, ignorance is bliss. 

 Look you are probably weirded out by this song. 

 But truthfully i did not expect such a strong 

 hard hitting theme that has dark overtones 

 Witnessing a women or man all alone. 

 Look i understand i might be looking at this too hard 

 But i cannot ignore things that leave me scarred 

 I get it it's a simple music compo round. 

 But i have a good conscience all around. 

 At the end all i am really trying to say. 

 That i think Domestic Violence is not ok .


Verse 2:

I apologise if my song sounds grim to you

But i have to see this through and through.

Just because a man is outraged by cheating

Doesn't mean we need to encourage beating.

I am a good natured person and i respect everyone

I wanted everything violence related to not be done.

Let's end it now and strive to be good.

Because that really what we should

doing, and not hitting or fighting.

I just wanted to share this message

The stats don't lie check the percentage.

D V is never the answer.

Regardless of gender i think it's cancer.

Even men can suffer from it.

They clearly don't like it one bit.

As much as you might not like me

Misinterpreting the theme, i can see

The images are something dark

And to me it's not a walk in the park.

This song is a way to hit you in the face

About a serious problem, no saving grace.

Look at the end of the day.

I think Domestic Violence is not ok.

Not a huge fan of this, but I’m away from my usual DAW in a loud venue, so this is a bit of a weird setup. I am early, but the track is more on the simple side, and I am away, so I don’t really want to spend too long on this, as it’s difficult making something as it is, in my current climate. All made in GarageBand, This track is a bit of an IDM like number with a looped piano progression and a really dynamic melody. Pad flourishes and string embellishments are also present here. Hope you enjoy it, it’s not my best work, but its something.

Farewell Song

I could have gone in any direction, but ultimate if this were to be the final song, then i need more than a simple VG arrangement. Being this is a free round, and there is no limits on what you can make, i chose to go with an original. I crammed as much as i could get my heart out, taking this track in any direction i could, whilst maintaining the same tempo and vibe throughout. Most of it is a mix of sad slightly jazzy overtones, mixed with some atmospheric parts, so deep minimal parts, as well as some drum parts. The track is free-flowing whilst giving you that much needed melodic freedom.


I will miss this place, i have had a lot of memories here, especially since this was one of my earliest known ThaSauce experiences. The track feels like a timeline of my life, even though there isn't really any samples as such. I just wanted this to be a proper send off, so that's why it's not only 15 minutes (Which is quite an insane length when you think about it, but i may never see this again, so i wanted it to be final). This is also why i had to keep it to 20mb, so the bitrate is slightly reduced, but i listened to it, and the quality hasn't affected it too much, so hopefully it's fine.


It's been a wonderful 3-4 years in this place, i've made so many great tunes, discovered so many fantastic tunes, met so many wonderful people, and above all, had such a barrier of support i could not believe. This is why i come back to this place so often, you guys are just far too nice. Even more so than the real world sometimes lol. It's amazing the joy of music that i discover, and how many people share a similar passion to me. I will miss you all deeply.


The track itself is best described in 4 ways:


  1. Jazzy and emotional
  2. Simple laidback grooves, that also come with a bit of swing
  3. The occasional sample, both mine and snippets lying on my PC.
  4. An AI voice wishing you all a farewell.


In terms of production, it mostly just went around, me adding stuff i felt fit, until a good coherent section was born. The only thing that keeps this piece grounded, is the main chord sequence heard at the start that appears. It's also there as essentially the "Chorus" to the whole thing. There is also a B-Section to this part, but this comes in less frequently. Other than that, the piece is just one section after another, totally a 15 minute journey, that details as much as i have thrown into it.


That's all really, i can't say any more. I hope you guys have a wonderful future ahead of you, and if i see you i hope all goes well. If not, then thanks for the wonderful times, the cool source tunes. It's been great. Thanks again for the amazing opportunities you guys are awesome. See you around.


TVG signs off, and wishes you all the best.

I mean i was likely gonna make a Christmas song anyways, because i feel like the world needs more Christmas songs (Especially since they play the same 5 tunes over and over), but this theme was perfect, because not only did it give me the advantage, but i also managed to incorporate some winter elements too, to keep it a bit more cold sounding than normal. The bulk of this is basically DnB/Jungle but with some tubular bell sounds, some whimsical chords, and some ambient-ish stuff (I know saying the term here is controversial lol). It's all topped off with some choir pads, some dynamic sub basslines, a rich lead melody (Actually 2), and some arps and vocal samples. It's basically Christmas and Winter themed. Whatever it is, you were likely gonna receive it anyways. Hope you enjoy!

Nobody's gonna stop me from incorporating some kind of Christmas element into my tracks. Especially for a pretty space theme like this.


The track is basically summed up as light funky breaks mixed with calming sleepy atmospheric elements. It's a free flowing ultra chill kind of piece, that makes you feel like your relaxing at night. In terms of chords, i kept it to mostly major, but added a lot of sus chords to make it less of a straight major, and more of a somewhat unique spicy feel. The melody is very light, with surprisingly a synth, that is actually mixed pretty well, usually my leads are a bit piercing, but no this was alright. In terms of the rest, aside from the funky bassline, the majority is just embellishments, different chords on different pads and synths, as well as small subtle changes. I like this one, hope you do too!

Like my title by the way? It's both a pun, as well as being relatable and real. I feel awful tonight, aches and pains all over, so i made this a quick one, and opted for a more drone based piece. If i was fine, i could have gone further, but i'm a bit tired and miserable, so i apologise.


I took a chord progression of around 6 chords, made each chord 8 bars, and then layered it to make a thick ambient texture. Each loop of the chords results in around 1 minute 20 of music. It's no a complex piece, but i like it nonetheless. Throughout i made sure to engage in some layering, some processing effects, and other tweaks to make it sound cool. Hopefully i'll be well enough by next week for a more detailed piece (Although this is detailed enough). Hope you enjoy!

I'm in the Christmas mood again, so expect my next few submissions to be both Christmas themed and round themed (As in, what's on the round page). This one is bright and epic, almost like a national celebration in the whole town, after it was saved from someone evil. But it could also work in the run-up to new year. I don't know the track was something i was feeling at the time. Think of Gabber, but done in a massive way. Super thick strings and pads, with dense choir sounds, topped off with an arp and some piano lines, it's definately super uplifting and happy. But i didn't just keep it to that, there is a rich chordal intro, and a somewhat dynamic piano and flute like ending, to keep it more melodic and less drone heavy.....because there is a few drones in this piece, not the most melodically varied, aside from the ending and intro. Enjoy!

Even though i had the full time this week i managed to finish quite early. But that was because i had chosen a music genre, that was more free-flowing so i could get some ideas down quick and fast. But i also fear i won't make it, so i had to be efficient. Also this theme was calling for some downtempo stuff, hence why i went more chill. I do like what i've done here, it has a lot of cool electric piano samples, nestled on top of a thick sidechain, and a soft but hard hitting beat, that is then complimented by a few effects, and a dynamic 303 line. It's pretty cool stuff, hope you enjoy!

This time i'm doing something a little different, in that i'm featuring a single artist. So all the samples in this one come from the artist in question, which surprisingly includes a lot of the drums. For this i only need the artist name, not what tracks were sampled. If you don't want to partake in this, then don't worry, as i still used my creative chops to make a beat in 1 hour using sampled material, so it's nothing lazy. Have fun!

The title is just a joke, it's actually more of a sample based, breakbeat thing, that kind of blurs the line between hip-hop and well...electronic music. I wanted to make something bright and uplifting to contrast the ever so constant stream of dark techno music that has been plaguing my ears for the last few weeks. I tried to add as much samples as possible, as the original sample couldn't be sustained for 3 minutes, without assistance. All in all, it's a pretty fun piece, hope you like it!

Consider this an industrial like beat, but with a lot of dense electro elements that are sort of reminiscent of EBM, but done in a very atmospheric way. I also made sure to incorporate some space like chords, a lot of varying lead synth melodies, some string embellishments, and a whole host of new sections that rewards you as you listen. It does go for a lot of energy, despite it's 90bpm tempo, and i tried to prolong the drums for as long as possible, to not loose it's flow, without it being too tiresome or boring. This is actually a pretty unique idea from me, even if you still hear TVG in TVG. I like this a lot, and i hope you do too. Enjoy!

Ship Off The Ol Block

This is a remix of Haunted Ship from Sonic Rush Adventure.


I decided to not stray too far, and make it more closer to a breakbeat hardcore style, instead of the Fatboy Slim styled Big Beat. Ultimately, it's the same tempo and stylings, just with different drums. I also added more synths than the original, to keep a more electronic profile, but also because it's easier. This track is definately spooky, but also very funky as well. Just because it's Halloween doesn't mean it has to be beatless or have no groove. That's kind of silly lol. Not an early submission, but truthfully, i was holding out for others, plus as well i was busy with other stuff, but oh well, i'm glad it's in. Whatever it is, i hope you enjoy!

I used to make 5 different styles in each round. Now i'm mostly churning out chordal based techno pieces. Don't get me wrong, there's nothing wrong with that, but it is becoming noticeable. Then again, Surface Tension is not a simple theme by all means lol. Whatever, i still had fun making it, and i hope you enjoy it!

I apologise for relying on too much 1-2 bar loops here, but i only had 50 minutes for the whole thing, and that included the sidechaining stuff, the filtering and the mixing. It's a DnB piece, with 5 layers of drums, some buildups and filtering, as well as a key change towards the end. It doesn't sound....great, but this is the result of 50 minutes of work, not because i'm crap. Once again i am victim to the perils of DST, and i'm this close to starting a discussion in this, because a system needs to be in place because i've forgotten this like 4 times, and it infuriates me. Sure this is like once or twice a year, but i don't need this, nor should it be my fault, if nothing was there to guide me in the first place. Anyway's enjoy this weird mess!

play_arrow

It's my usual, but this time with a fun wholesome message at the end. I did it for the album, and i will do it again, especially for such a big achievement. Original the chords picked for this techno vamp, were a little too happy for my liking, even if it's played in a minor key, so i had to do some tweaking. Everything else is standard, although i did take a while choosing the drum sound for this, which is to be expected, but this was especially a while when it came to drum work. I hope it's not too repetitive for you lol. Hope you enjoy this!

This track is a full on soundscape journey. Brace yourselves, it's gonna be one hell of a spooky ride. Were talking 60 percent sound manipulation, and around 30 percent synth material. The track is simulating a kind of story. These things do take a while, because not only am i making music, but i am planning a storytelling element to it as well. It's not for the faint of heart. Hope you enjoy!

What else is there to tell you? It's a Techno track, plain and simple. More specifically aimed towards Minimal Techno, but i didn't invent these genres, so you tell me if it is or not. The point being, i took some mystical chords, a simple but funky bassline, and went to town slowly creeping in various drums. It's either too repetitive or not enough repetition, i don't know. All i can say is, enjoy!

play_arrow

Ignoring how much i hate spiders, this track is a very dark experimental hardcore number, consisting of 4-5 layers of pad chords playing intense augmented 4ths. None of what you hear is tonal in the slightest, and can be described as a dissonant nightmare. The track is not complex at all, and mostly involves weaving sounds in and out, fading in and out, as well as textural changes. It's basically more emphasis on sound design than melody or chords. It's not the most accessible listen, but i was focused more on theme accuracy, and stuff like this does allow for some interesting experimentation, so not everything was just pure randomness. All in all, i hope you stomach this weird and wonderful distorted monster!

Antik my man, you need to start checking your themes for duplicates lol.


This track originally starts as if it's a pre-existing track, but then does a 180 into a completely new idea, that is kind of like a fast trippy semi-ambient number. It's only 2 chord throughout, but i tried my best to keep a lot of variations in this so it doesn't get repetitive or stale. There is also a lot of percussive licks, to accentuate the very soft beat, an acid line with lots of modulations, and some occasional pad embellishments to add some texture to the piece. All in all, it's some pretty fun stuff, hope you enjoy!

This track is a combination of childlike melodies and cutesy synth chords. It started out as a piano sketch, but i built upon it in a synthetic way, because it's different, and makes it more...in line with what i wanted it to be. At the time i was thinking of some kind of childlike imagination with this box, but then i saw the lack of shoes and thought, if the people were homeless. However i encounter them frequently in my country, and 99 percent have footwear so maybe this is a more abstract thing. Oh well this is what i was going for at the time, using my time crunch, so i hope you enjoy!

I am back to my Dark Ambient phase, or something equivalent, in what is various textures made out of synths, white noise and drum hits. The idea is that it's cold, chilling and makes you feel very uncomfortable, like there's a strange presence behind you. By the 3 minute mark, i make it more lively with a kick drum pulse, before increasing the volume and distortion at the 5 minute mark for a really scary finish. Not for the faint of heart, but it's what the theme is all about huh? To keep it from pure texture, every so often you hear some spooky pads that bring a lil' melodic ideas to a pure textural piece. But don't get too comfy, it's just 4 notes. All in all, quite the sound design this week, hope you enjoy!

This track is best described as a blend of light-hearted folk samples with some sort of drum machine like beats.

It just flows along, doing it's own thing. There isn't really a major change as such, nor is there a lot going on, it's designed to be as free flowing as possible. Just sit back and enjoy, basically.

In the most simplest form this is an Acid Trance piece, but with a lot of Psytrance elements. It's like the best of both worlds. It also has a lot of thick chords in F# Minor as well as some drum variations, some choir sounds, a full on 303 section and a lead melody in different proportions. It's not the most complex when you think about it, but it's also not the easiest. It probably sounds a bit on the loopy side towards the end, but as with all of my tracks, it's entirely subjective. This is either amazing, and you absolutely love it, or it's the worst thing ever. Point is, i'm glad you took the time to listen to it. Hope you enjoy!

There's 10 samples to find in this one, plus a very micro sample of another OHC entry. Can you spot them all? The beauty about this idea, is that you are not required to participate, it's merely optional.

Hope you like the results anyways!

To account for my lack of time i had given for this round, i choose to utilize some thick pad and string chords to create this dark atmosphere.

It's basically a Jazzy type piece but in the eyes of Electronica, because it's what i can do with the tools i have. Most of the piece is 2 chord progressions, each with some seasonings thrown in for some spice, and some varied melodies each fitting to the requisite progression. Top in a solo in the middle, and some drum craziness it's quite dynamic, for something probably quite simple. In the end, the guy is too tired to continue, and so boom, he's off to sleep. It's not technical, but i had fun making this nonetheless. Enjoy!

play_arrow

I can't say i'm surprised at me doing acid techno, it's probably become a meme at this point. This time though, the kick drums are distinctively techno, in comparison to a distorted 909, and i threw in some trancey arps for good measure. It's pretty good stuff though, and i do enjoy making it. Let's just hope you enjoy listening to it.

Conflicting themes this week, so i went with luck. The whole thing is in 7, from the chords to the arps, to the drums. I also tried to go for even more 7 by using a 707 kit, but it...didn't work. Not the style i suppose. The track is quite a simple one, but it's mostly based on these super thick 9th chords in descending motion, both in arps and chords. The rest builds from that, including a melody, some kind of choir sound, various pad sounds among others. It's one of those tracks, that adds something new to the never-ending array of looped chords. This is either very pretty, or very boring, so take it as you will.

White Formations

What we have is an experiment in 3 different ostinatos played at 3 different tempo's. The first is 140bpm, the 2nd is 165bpm and the 3rd is 108bpm. Each comes with it's own ostinato manually bounced into 3 files which are then looped continuously from start to finish. The idea is that you are getting essentially a very floaty, dreamy, twinkly feel, just from 3 ostinato layers. It's not necessarily a polyrhythm, because each one was played at a random tempo, no specific value was assigned. For the effect, i kept it simple and used just a piano, no fancy synth or anything like that. A lot of processing was done to the piano, to keep it very floaty, and less intrusive. It forms most of the main elements of this piece.


The rest comprises of drums, pads, strings, 2 different melodies and a 303 synth. The drums are interesting in that like the twinkly piano effect, it too has a weird time signature thing going on. Unlike the above, i just matched it to 140bpm, instead of using 3 different tempo's. The drums kind of lock itself into a groove of 5/4, but with a lot of weird beats being accented, yet despite all this, i still managed to maintain a constant pulse with a sort of identifiable 4 on the floor kick pattern. The rest is mostly velocity changes to the drums, to keep it syncopated, but despite that, you are hearing a standard untz kick. The melodies were kept to C Major, but the rhythms of the melody were loosened to match the weird time signature of the whole piece. Same with the other melodies and the 303 synth. I've talked a lot, so i hope you enjoy this unusual but kind of interesting experiment.


And for those wondering, this is a real submission not a troll. I know i am known for things like that, but most times i take music seriously. Lots of thought processing went into this. Hope you like it anyways!

This one is basically in the best way possible...semi sparkly techno? It's got a lot of calming 7ths and 5ths layered with 5 drum layers as well as different percussive ideas. The synths are both rhythmical techno like stabs as well as more trance like synth chords. It's not your conventional techno track. Halfway comes an 303 line because why not. And i also choose to have a more atmospheric ending, instead of letting the beats run, which is what i usually do for these kinds of genres. It's different i'll give you that, and i hope you enjoy!

Hope you like minimalism, because this is basically 4 chords on repeat, with a nonstop piano ostinato, and a slow array of pads and choirs playing free flowing notes, to amp up the atmosphere. I also included a synth solo, and another laid back solo that involved me stretching some stuff to make it loose. This was actually taken from an old project and repurposed here. The track also builds to a DnB because why not lol. My mind sometimes can be creative heh. Honestly even if it's a ostinato based piece, it's not that repetitive, because i made sure to add new stuff in each listen. Even if repetition is not your thing, i hope you get something out of it.

I don't know, Psytrance is what i was feeling for this, especially for such a repetitive tune (Which i don't hate at all, but it is a loop based piece). I tried to expand upon it, but my brain didn't like any of the results. I felt like i had to keep it simple to let the track shine, but that brings out more of the repetition.

Controversial saying, but i think when you only have like 45 minutes, Acid is the quickest and most effective. This track isn't just a 303 though, as we also have heavy electro like drums, some space like chords, and the occasional embellishment. There is also a build-up to a climatic ending sort of thing.

A fire is known to spread from room to room, engulfing the furniture around it. My track is known to spread from dynamic to dynamic, resulting in something super quiet turning into something super loud.


The whole track is just one giant increase in dynamics. We start with some very short decay synths, that eventually open up into a sort of textured synth. Soon we get perc loops, followed by different shades of chords and modulations, followed by more layers of chords, then 2 string pads, then drums, then more drums, then full on string section, then lead melody, then bell sounds, the acid, then more synths. It's one giant buildup basically.


Am i going too far? Perhaps, but it was a fun experiment nonetheless that i always wanted to try one compo. Really the challenge is how loud can you handle it? Hope you like this weird mess lol.

Don't ask me why, but for some reason i felt like doing more of a cover, since one i've not done these in a while, and two it allows me to work in a more limiting way to provide me with more musical material.


Now the first idea wasn't really great, but then again i was struggling to make happy music for some reason. So i decided to think about it, and be different.


The track is obviously Blackbirds by Beatles, extended from 2 minutes into 6, because that's what i do right? The track overall hasn't changed, but the style and the arrangement is miles different. Just the chords and melody are the same. I didn't make this from scratch, as when i had listened to it, i found it a bit complex, and i don't have the time to transcribe, i have music to make. If it's a 4-8 chord vamp sure, but this is more like 16 chords. I need music, not MIDI. Most of what you hear is 80's styled synths and drum machines, topped with piano and string like textures. There is also a huge chunk of new material by me as well, adding onto a nice dainty 2 minute number. Take what you can out of this.


And before anyone asks, i spent the full time on this, it's not a rush job at all! Enjoy!

It's been ages since i've done chiptune, but why not. I like trying different genre's, instead of my usual techno or hip hop.


The whole thing is a chiptune track, without any cheats or additions. It's as close to the original limitations as possible, including 4 channels (2 square, 1 triangle, 1 noise), and it's done with a rave shine to the whole thing, despite it being more or less chiptune. I tried to cram in a lot of varied melodies, and chord shifts, as well as make sure there is a groove to the whole thing, since the drums are white noise. This one also has a bit of a crazy ending, where we speed up from 165bpm to 180bpm and we have a bit of a crazy solo-ish melody, followed by a polyrhythm finish to the final hit. All in all it's something different from me, hope you enjoy!

I miss you brother, we used to be best mates as a child, i'm so glad you're home."


This track is clearly Aphex Twin inspired, in a sort of play on the theme. We started with a textured intro, followed by some frantic Drill and Bass followed by some weird pad sounds. Soon it turns into a creepy atmospheric section, before it goes back into the drum manipulation, this time on a drum machine. By the 3 minute mark, we break down into a piano and a breakbeat, before slowly introducing some haunting vocals, some strings and more bells. The vocals were a pain to pitch shift, but it ended up really satisfying at the end. We finally end on solo piano in a sort of breakdown, before a surprise twist finishes us off. I really love this, it's quite creative, even with all it's inspirations. Hope you enjoy!

The track follows up on the title with a nonstop siren sound, with a very slow building beat that goes through a few changes. To keep it somewhat melodic i introduced a chord progression and a bassline, but they don't last too long, as my goal was to simulate some kind of plane crash incident, where everyone has to eject in order to not die.

This track was initially meant to be epic and grand, but i wasn't finding the right chord progression for it, so i slowly changed gears until i was satisfied with my idea. Because of how calming it was, the only logical step was for me to introduce bass and beats. Since i had a looped bassline though, i had the wild idea to make Acid with it, and so throughout is a 303 playing the bassline. The whole thing goes through more or less 2 sections, each slightly different than the last, whilst still retaining all of the same melody ideas. It's what i was thinking at the time, especially for a 1hr 30 time crunch. All in all, i really like this. It's kind of different. Hope you enjoy!

THIS IS A BONUS DO NOT VOTE. I AM NOT JOKING THIS IS A BONUS DO NOT VOTE.


The title is true lol. This really is 10 minutes.


I think i tried too hard for this remix. I was throwing everything in, including the kitchen sink, trying to match the intensity of the original, but instead it sounds rather flat, and uneven. However, i had already spent at least 4 days on this, inbetween other projects and procrastination, so i was kind of sick of working on it some more. I felt like it was at that stage where it was more or less complete, and i was finally ready to send it off.


The original is a straight up banger, and has left me astounded as to how i didn't even find out about this OST. The game isn't even a Japan exclusive, despite it not being as popular, so it should in theory be a little more famous per say, but i guess not, since this was more of a recent discovery. This track is very interesting to me, because although it has a kind of trance like structure, the whole thing is very saturated and lo-fi and sounds more like raw Techno. It's basically Semi-Industrial techno with a science fiction like atmosphere, and acid synths. Even though it's an electronica piece that lends itself to 1-2 bar looped phrases, none of it feels very cheap, boring or repetitive. There is enough to power through, especially for 6 minutes. Not once do i feel like i've heard everything that's on offer, as something new always comes up, subverting my expectations as well as keeping me on my toes.


For my remix i've kept it to MnP specifications, by adding my own synth flairs and sounds, as well as my own Text to Speech vocal samples. The big difference is the 3 minute intro i've provided in this, and as well i made a more...long drawn out ending, instead of a more sudden end like the original follows. The rest of the sounds was more a combination of accuracy and personal flair, so while yes it's not the most original, and i did try too hard to match the original sound, it still has some of my touches to it, so it's not just a MIDI rip. I still feel it needs more mixing and some finesse, but at this point i've worked on it for more than enough, so i'm just rolling with what i have. Also this is a bonus, so i never make these with quality in mind. I'm just having fun, trying some stuff out, and just making use of my music making skills. All in all, hope you enjoy what i've done!

ZERO TIME FOR MIXING. That's literally what compo is all about. Everything in regards to composition is there, but the mix is not polished put it this way lol. Still sounds good, but miles from ideal.


So my track is a synthwave inspired number with a heavy trance like chord progression. It's got a blend of 80's styled sounds, syncopated dance chords, and a Untz beat all topped off with uplifting semi summer melodies, and a really dynamic melody. It also contains a few.....synth based sections where it's mostly arps and stuff, than melodies. The ending is a little shoehorned in, but don't blame me, blame the clock. 1 hr and 30 minutes is actually less time than you think, it creeps up on you.

In terms of expansion, i just added drums in the 2nd loop of the piece, followed by a breakdown into a lead solo melody. It's not the most elaborate, because i didn't spent a lot of time on this, as i was busy with a lot of things to dedicate a full session to this. However it is something, and it was a lot more than just a MIDI rip. There was a lot of sound stuff that went into this. I'm surprised i didn't check the OST though, as there was a lot of gems to be found in the music. Very much reminds me of like Propellerheads or something. That Electronic Big Beat styled rock music. There was also a lot of orchestral pieces, and more general electronic pieces. But in the end, i ended up with an Hawaiian styled piece lol. Largely because it gets me into a more creative mode. Oh well, hope you like it anyways!

Church of The Macabre

"This is where the Satanists come to worship the dead. They perform rituals to send messages to ghosts. They call it the church of the macabre"


This track might have a bit of disjointed parts, but that might be a personal thing for some. You see when i compo, i'm trying to come up with different sections, and sometimes that might involve a weird key change or some other leftfield section. It's just how the compo cycle works lol.


This track is a Creepy DnB number with a light but spacious beat, and a augmented melody and progression using mostly organ and string sounds topped with some atmospheric bell and choir sounds. It sounds both funky, and fearful. Maybe a bit too light for the theme, but i had a melody that i didn't want to get rid off, because it was too good. That and i don't have a lot of time as is, so you make do with what you have. The middle involves a breakdown in a lower octave and a slower tempo, basically half-time for a change of pace. Whatever you think of it, it was a fun DnB type piece, that i enjoyed working on. Have fun!

Ok seriously before you come after me with pitchforks, the theme is DIVA and I’m pretending to be a spoilt brat to fit the theme. I’m away for a couple of days in the UK so normal music making is strapped at the moment. This is a beat on GarageBand, done in 15 minutes. Have a good party, see you next week!

I know it seems a bit dumb to have a track of nothing but drums, but my initial ideas weren't working. I was trying too hard to sound "Exotic" because i wanted to make a medley of traditional music from different countries fused in a electronic style, but for some reason it just fell apart. Even something as simple as a melody wasn't really possible, because again i was trying to match each country to each instrument, so i would give the feeling we are travelling on holiday around the world taking photos in each destination kind of thing. Because i already wasted 30 minutes, i eventually said, you know what? I'll just keep it simple.


The theme is Photo Collage, and collage is a collection of resources formed into one whole. So in this case, i'm building Lego pieces out of drum sounds and live recording into audacity to create one whole. It took a total of 8 takes before i was eventually happy. There is a vocal sample in there to break the ice. Is it the most creative piece? Probably not. Do i feel like i've used my time wisely? I like the idea, but i don't know how people might react, this one was making me stumped. Is this illegal? No because music is subjective, i created a piece of music, and it does involve a creative process. It's the same as John Cage's 4:33. Is it music or art? Also bare in mind it took at least 20 minutes to make the sounds, let alone record the performance.


Whatever, what's done is done, it was something different, maybe too experimental, hope you enjoy!

"Hey look at this place, i've not seen it before. It looks old and abandoned. Let's go and explore, i'm sure we can find some really cool things in here. It looks quite pretty i have to say"


This track is part adventurous, part mystical. It's inviting you into both the unknown, but also into exploring mode. You are wondering throughout the forest woodland. It's also first in a long time, where i went for a more organic sound. Yes there's synths in this, but they are not the star. Instead we have a Double Bass playing well...the bass and a string ostinato as kind of a rhythmical foundation. The melodies alternate between a piano, a flute and a few lead synths. It's meant to invoke some rather unique and cool colours. Whatever it may be, i really enjoyed this one, and i hope you do too!

play_arrow

It started off as a pretty normal, full on sidechain piece, kind of chill, but then it goes a little weird, largely after finding out how dissonant some of these samples are. I didn't have the full 2 hours, more like 45 minutes, so i didn't really want to ditch the samples and instead have to look for more, so i just went with what i had. It kind of makes it spooky psychedelic, but that's sample layering for ya. Enjoy!

I wanted to capture the feeling of being isolated, in a rather expansive but breath-taking view. I wanted it to be very calming, but also very cold and kind of empty. I took some soft soothing pads, with contrast to the slightly techno like beats, and grooves. It's a sort of atmospheric blend, with the beats and melodies. A little simple, but i wanted to left the atmosphere do the talking, not the music. Hope you enjoy!

I was so close to going for 3 minutes, until a dreaded crash made me loose a chunk of work. Now i had to scramble with the last 10-15 minutes trying to at least make a track out of it.

4 Beats, 2 Images, 1 scenario involving rain.


I thought a beat-tape in a lo-fi style would be absolutely perfect, so i went in that direction. The beats are mostly hip-hop with a mix of own melodies and sampled guitars. Each beat is around a minute, totalling 5 minutes of music.


The beats themselves vary with one being bright and cheerful, one being melancholic, one being calming and slightly optimistic and the last being more serious, and perhaps a little dark. Oh well i had a lot of fun on this, hope you do too!

The main sound is actually an EAS alarm sound from Eritrea, but i'm not convinced it's real, as it sounds very technological, but i digress. The rest is my usual drum layers, hi-hats etc. I really don't know what else to say, this is getting to the point where it's the norm.

One chord techno doesn't sound that pleasant to a lot of people, so i tried to expand upon it, by adding a few more chords and build-ups to really make it grand and epic. Not what people think of when they look at a science lab, but if i have an idea, i try and stick to it because of time. The 2nd half tries to slow things down, but after a 5 minute time crunch, i rushed in to make an ending, so it's quite intense. All in all, i hope you enjoy!

This is not the best mixed, because i had 45 minutes, but i suppose take what you will. I wasn't intending to make techno, but it sort of happens, when your on a time crunch, and i leant into that after finding this cool siren like sound in one of my VST's. The track is not complex, and not well developed in my opinion, but for 45 minutes it sounds pretty dope, worthy of expansion. Think of it as a Easter Rave lol. Enjoy!

Tried to take one chord progression and make different variations out of it. It's still the same chords, but done in different ways. We have arpeggiated variations, rhythmical variations, as well as simply static notes. I've tried to build it from nothing into this sort of climatic piece, kind of orchestral in nature, but of course using mostly if not all synthesizers. So like a Synth Orchestra if you will. The track is mostly building around this simple 4 chord progression using a dynamic melody full of articulations, different sounds and phrases, and above all just doing what i can to stretch out this chord progression. I also made sure to pick a good progression for this, otherwise it sounds a bit...flat and perhaps repetitive maybe. All in all i really like what i've done here, hope you enjoy!

I didn't really go for the most imaginative title lol, but i didn't really spend much time on this. The problem is just how short these NES tunes are, and it also doesn't help that because this is more about the atmosphere, you can't really get much in terms of melodic content, so i had to stretch more of the ambience for this. It's not the composition's fault, the composition is lovely, it's more so i don't have the juice in order to transcribe this into a fully fleshed out piece. I did manage to dedicate some time to this though, so it's not all bad. Think of it as like a Downtempo synth piece, with a rich bassline and pad chords thrown in to amplify the atmosphere. Hope you enjoy!

This is more of TVG lite).

This is GarageBand music, take what you will out of it! Enjoy!

This track is kind of an epic piece, complete with thick layers of pads and choirs, a dynamic lead melody as well as 4 layers of bell arps. It goes through quite a lot of chords, before it goes back to the main melody. I didn't have time for any new chordal material, so i just kept the main chord progression but decided to add a beat, turning it into more of a triplet thing, whilst going through the familiar sections. The ending was kind of shoehorned in, but i had like 5 minutes left before i had to export, so i just did something quickly, hence why it might be a bit...simple. Mostly samples and the beat from earlier. All in all, i hope you enjoy!

More of a recent discovery but boy it does slap hard. It's a weird mix of fun cartoony styled melodies, on top of what appears to be emulation a Drum and Bass kind of beat, but yet it's somehow not. It's definitively electronic though, right down to the basslines all the way up to the effects scattered throughout. My remix is probably close to the original at the beginning, as i wanted to have some familiarity, but towards the end i decided to mix it up with some kind of IDM glitch element, whilst also stripping it down to mostly drums, bass and chords. The ending is a bitcrush fade into nothing. Not the most detailed, but as i've said in nearly every bonus entry i do. I don't make these with quality in mind, but rather to merely have fun and experiment. All in all, i hope you enjoy!

Dustins Adventure Original Soundtrack

Soundtrack for a NES Platformer featuring a young boy called Dustin. At the moment i only had time and space for 2 stages, a boss theme, a credits theme, a title theme and a Character Select theme, but that's the 6 minute rule for ya lol.


The game is a standard platformer A La Mario or Sonic kind of thing, but with a bit of a cool kid attitude in the character development, hence why the soundtrack is rave focused. That and it was quickest style to do, so i could make a number of pieces, instead of just one. It was about being efficient, especially when working with limitations. I also tried to make it close to the original limitations as possible. So that means 5 channels max, including 1 DPCM channel, 1 noise channel, 1 triangle channel and 2 squares. I also make use of the Arpeggio function. Enough about that though, let's go through the tracklisting:


  1. Title Theme
  2. Character Select
  3. Stage 1 - The City
  4. Stage 2 - The Spooky Castle
  5. Boss Theme
  6. Credits Theme


And that is all. I hope you enjoy this fun little quirky thing!

A little simpler this time, as the emphasis is on tempo automation and texture, than any fancy melodies or harmonies. I mean there is melodies and harmonies, but they are not the focus. There is no tonality here as such, as i wanted it to really be scary. The drums also build up into this climax, before dropping to nothing. There is also a surprise ending in store. This one is a bit of a personal taste thing, as it's not an easy listen, but oh well. Have fun!

I actually don't have a name for this weird but very chill blend. It's far from calming because it has a heavy beat and sidechain, yet the melodies are happy, and serene.

I consider this a mix of trance, and atmospheric parts mixed with hard hitting beats. The pads are basically 4-5 different layers of sort of different chords, to make something very spacey and ethereal. I'm so glad most 90's sample packs are more or less available today, as they are a godsend, for some of these weird spacy pad sounds. Everything is structured almost like an ABA kind of thing. After the drop, we get some acid stuff, some melodic licks here and there, before the breakdown into the main melody and chord progression, slowly creeping back to the first section. I actually really like what i've done here, sounds very 90's. Hope you enjoy!

It's become standard practice, for when i enter 2hts, i submit a Hard Techno piece of some kind lol. I'm struggling to break the mould, because the themes are often a bit unorthodox.

The track itself was initially some adventurous imitation synth orchestral type thing, but it developed into a synth like melodic piece, with the grand strings what so ever. It definately sounds worthy of expansion, i do like what i've done here. Making a lot of chord progression results in shorter music, who knew lol. Oh well, enjoy!

If you find this repetitive, then that means you likely find the house genre, or more specifically maybe deep house, repetitive.

The beat itself is simple in idea. The samples function as melody ideas, and the beat is just a drum element. Everything goes through sidechain compression to give it umph. It might be simple on paper, but when you listen to it, it's actually rather complex. I love this a lot, might rework when i get a minute. Enjoy!

I'm not gonna make a paragraph about how good Minecraft's music is. Most of you should know by now. And if not, go read the comments on YouTube, the reviews on bandcamp, the ratings on various review sites. It's basically a soundtrack that's held in high regard from Minecraft veterans to even new players. Even those who aren't into the music, still get why the music of Minecraft done by C418 has appeal, and why people like it so much. Not only is it simple and effective at conveying emotions, C418 also understood that because the game is simple, so should the music. Hence why it's mostly a minimalism based score. Many people compare this OST to Erik Satie, and honestly that's a pretty accurate comparison. It does sound like one of Satie's piano pieces. Anyways this is getting too long, on to my remix in particular.


Well ok not really a remix. listening to this again, it sounds closer to a cover, as i haven't really diverged from the original piece. I've not even expanded upon it, as one, the music is detailed enough, that i don't feel like there would be any point in developing it without making it repetitive. Two, the music fades in and out, so it would be awkward to remove the fade out in favour of more melodies. It would be a bit too much. Three, i already had to go through at least 4 crashes to make this, and i don't want to go through that again. Adding more will probably increase any additional crashes, that i don't need. Lastly i will be likely adding more of the same sounds, therefore adding nothing of value to an already completed product. Oh well. The track itself is very much close to the original, with very little changes, besides maybe a less natural sound, and a more synth like overtone. Still though, i don't make my bonuses with quality in mind, nor with the intention for it to be voted or critiqued on, but rather it's a piece of music, that i had fun making, because that's what it is at the end of the day. A fun piece of music. All in all, i hope you enjoy!

This track is 3 parts if you were to break it down. The first is an atmospheric part, with a kick drum sort of simulating a heart beat. In this part, is various pad chords, texture noises, lightning strikes and other stuff to make it kind of unsettling, but also bring out the eerie atmosphere. We then fade out into a deep pad and a reading of Thunderbolt by Emily Dickenson. Lastly that releases into some aggressive industrial acid sounds, followed by an extremely distorted beat and bassline. The climatic end that lasts for around 2 minutes before we fade into the final lightning strike and rain sound, before the finish. It is quite a journey huh? I like what i've done here to say it's done in 90 minutes. Enjoy!

This is a French House like track A La Roule from Thomas Bangalter. It is a looping based track, but so is the genre i'm imitating.

The different chops indicate different sections, but they all tie to the same idea. How you interpret this track is based on how well you like Repetition. All deliberate by the way, not unintentional. My first idea sounded great, but wasn't enough to take further. This one the other hand, had enough on it to propel it forward to 3 minutes. Enjoy!

The track starts with a straight forward quarter note chord progression, before it's built with a breakbeat, a funky bassline and a choir pad sound. Soon after the melody comes in making a blend of chill but semi-funky kind of beats. Throughout the piece is different sections, each with it's own chords and sound. Nothing complex or out of the blue, and all the same i really like the sounds in this one, very laidback. Enjoy!

To be honest it's getting kind of annoying, but i haven't found the theme to make something different, so this is what you're stuck with. Oh well. Sounds pretty hard and groovy though, i'll give it that. Enjoy!

I started with a piano progression in a 3/4 style, that was eventually moved to a EP like synth. It was quite happy to begin with, and i didn't feel like making it more darker, as i felt it sort of fit the theme. I built this up using strings and guitar loops, until it sounded pretty chill. I then had a wild idea to add Elton John's vocals in there, and the results is far from terrible, it was actually pretty awesome lol. The rest of the track incorporated some random samples i had floating around, as well as a 3/4 breakbeat playing in a soft swiftly motion. I like the simplicity despite there being a lot of sounds going on. Enjoy!

Jelly Pops Original Soundtrack

I did another soundtrack! It's a free round, so that means no restrictions, therefore here's another practice at video game music.


For this i tried to make an OST for a puzzle game in the same vein as Puyo Puyo, Columns and Puzzle Bobble. The game is very much in the style of these kinds of games.


The game itself is divided into 13 stages, and a final boss, and it involves you Destroying all of the buildings before the Evil Contractor builds them all, industrializing a once beautiful countryside. Your job is to preserve the countryside.


Gameplay involves you lining up gummy bears of the same colour into a sort of 4 in a row, whether this is diagonally, horizontally or vertically. All of the colours must match in order to win a line. You can do rapid fire combo's by lining up 6 or more gummy's. The more you line up, the more stones that get thrown to the opposing opponent. The opponent cannot destroy these stones without having gummies lined up next to it. I can't go on too much about the game though, it's them music were after.


The music is a mix of Funky Electronic, cute melodies, and a sort of hyped up almost 80's feel. Towards the end, we move towards hard techno and hardcore, as the pace picks up. If you have too much gummy's in your screen, the Speed up variation of the stage plays, thus hyping up the game even more. That's all, hope you like it.


I was gonna do a 2 player mode piece of music, but i ended up running out of time. Likewise i had to shorten the ending, but oh well.

I had an idea to take a looped 2 bar chord progression in 6/8 and basically noodle over it as a long winded synth solo. As this solo was playing, stuff keeps floating in and out, including strings, key instruments, and towards the end, a drum beat. I tried to keep it as minimal as possible, to keep the sleep element. But this probably is already intense for the theme. Even the quietest of pieces, still ends up being the most aggressive lol. Oh well, have fun!

Ran out of time to do 1 more minute, so it's a 5 minute piece from me lol.


This one is crazy fast, with a whole bunch of Venetian Snares styled break chopping, not just done with a VST, but i chopped up a 16 bar sequence into something glitchy. So it was both me and the VST (I couldn't do the whole thing for time reasons, i have melodies to make).


The sound is a mix of science fiction and cold atmosphere. The chords are kind of weird, in a specific way, done mostly to fit the vibe. It's quite intense at parts, because of the specific genre choices, as well as just me trying ideas. It's a good idea, that has potential to be expanded upon. Enjoy!

Had literally 30 minutes to make this, so it might sound a little flat maybe. It's predominantly stretched samples, made into a 5 minute ambient piece.

It's hard trying to add music to a continuous robot voice. Because every instrument you add just masks the voice more and more. I tried to make it a bit humorous, but it might be hard to identify it, because of a lack of time to properly mix. This is probably not my finest hour, but that's time for you. I'd post the script, but it's quite long, so probably not. I apologise if people don't understand this, i had 40 minutes total work. Next week i'll hopefully use the full 2 hours. Enjoy regardless.

I couldn't wait any longer, as i have to go to bed at some point, so i decided to roll with a Christmas theme. This was before Treyt had come up with the theme. At that point i couldn't be bothered starting over as i had something good. This is why it's always good to have backup's incase events like this happen.


So is this the final part of the suite? Well it depends on what happens next week. I'm not sure if i'm gonna add one more part, i'll need to think about it. But for the most part it does sound like a good closer anyways. So what do we have here?


Well it's mostly a piano chord sequence of i believe 32 bars looped continuously, but with new stuff added throughout. It's intentionally loud as i wanted it to sound very blurry and distorted. My goal was to make a Ballad through the lens of Industrial/Hardcore music. The chord sequence get's the Christmas treatment with the addition of some Christmas bells. There is also a solo melody, a 303 synth, some thick chords from pads, choirs and strings, and of course a distorted beat to tie it all together. I really like this one, it makes something simple into something complex. Hope you enjoy!

The title is a reference to it's Psychedelic like sound. I took essentially the piece, and made it into something that could have existed in the 60's, but obviously not with real instruments, and of course a modern approach.

I did a metal song for an old compo, that i felt was perfect for this theme. I wasn't planning on metal, but since we seem to love Halloween more than Christmas, this is the result. I didn't upload an old project, i actually reworked the metal track into a little more. I added a new section, some drum tweaks among other things. I couldn't get further than 4 minutes, without it sounding like it's super repetitive. It's not the best metal track, because i'm sadly not that good at metal, but it was something different. The best i could do with the tools i have. Enjoy!

THIS IS A BONUS ENTRY DO NOT VOTE. I MEAN IT I WILL HUNT YOU DOWN IF YOU DO.


I'm actually impressed just how the soundtrack manages to synthesize a full orchestral with as much realism as possible. Like i can easily tell it's' a synthesizer, but it's literally the best fake orchestra out there. It goes to show that it wasn't the system that was the problem, but the Composers who didn't go far enough with the composing techniques, and ended up making fart sounds to put it nicely lol.


Now with this cover, i've synthesized everything. I made it more synth heavy, than the original (Which is clearly trying to go for an orchestra vibe), which not only includes the brass, but as well as the main melody. Even with the synth work here, i still tried to capture the fun loving spirit of the original. I kept the Lively Town.....welll....lively lol. I didn't expand this, both because i didn't have the inspiration to do so, nor did i have the time, and also because this is a bonus, i don't feel like i need to put the same level of care as i would if i was making this as a real entry. It still sounds great though, i hope you enjoy!

It's late at night, and your work shift has finished. You are tired, it's time for a wonderful night's sleep. You rest your weary head on the nice pillow, hand-crafted from lush satin and silk, and drift off in a nice deep sleep. The sounds of simplicity sooth your ear, as you make your journey to the morning of the next day....


I made a drone thing, because i wanted to see how far i can go, without it being a simple loop. It's literally a F Sharp Major 7th chord throughout. No other chords, nothing. Just that. The rest is built on lots of solos, and a middle part with a more expansive sonic scape, a drum like solo, and a choir which fades throughout the piece.


Nothing can more mesmerising than nice silk resting against your face, and a single chord turned into a unique psychedelic piece. All in all, enjoy!

play_arrow

I had to dissect this theme, to find out the context, as pivotal has so many meanings. I decided to showcase the message of: "You can't function without X. X is the key to integrity and stability". In this case of the track, you can't have a nice loving family, without loving kids. You can't have kids without a loving mother and father, and you can't have a loving mother and father without loving children. A bit sentimental and maybe cheesy, but i was really trying to think about this in the theme's context. Anyways about the track.


What we have is a predominant guitar loop, which is repeated throughout. The guitar is chopped up into 2 parts, and we alternate between the parts as we listen. The 2nd part has more stuff in it, than the first. Whilst that is happening, we have a drumbeat that is halfway a mix between trap, pop and maybe breakbeat. It's not your typical trap beat, but it takes sounds from that style. We also have an assortment of melodies and samples that phase in and out, to add texture and colour to the guitar loop, otherwise it would be too repetitive. All in all, this is a really cool piece, that might be worth expanding upon in the future. Enjoy!

Started life as a chord progression, but then i had the idea to get creative with the rhythms. I didn't want a standard 4/4 but rather some 5/4 like beats with maybe some 10/8 thrown in for good measure. It's sort of countable, but yet it's not. I decided to also try another chord progression, because i had a cool idea to stack them on top and see the results, which the result was kind of beautiful. It's like E Major meets A Major. The melodies are then built around the stacks of chords, sort of making it very chill and ethereal. It's not so much happy as it is, peaceful. I the main source of the groove comes from the breaks and the 808 kick drum. I think i've talked for too long, enjoy!

I went for the last option, which is an original piece of music based on the themes an ideas of Halloween. I went for a long one, because i wanted to have it pan out like a full journey. We have an intro with Dialogue and Music from The Shining (A Classic horror movie), before we shift straight into orchestral chops combined with hard hitting beats. It's like Fast Techno mixed with orchestrations. I also through in a few screams for good measure. This last for around 3 minute, going through different samples of an Alan Silvestri OST. It's 1 second samples being cycled through whilst other changes happen.


When we reach the final impact, we move onto the 2nd part, which is a deep pad followed by some soft bell melodies and slow fading pad chords. The goal with this, is unnerving ambience, as if the killer is dead and things are "Supposedly" normal. This lasts for 3 minutes also. This part also contains some of the orchestral drums from earlier (But in a much quieter volume for dynamics), as well as some evil laughing.


The last part of the piece is the return of the pounding orchestral parts and drums (But more brief this time, in just under 2 minutes), followed by one last build-up into a final string/pad section. The bells return but they go through octave modulations, as well as a new pad made from a sample, that fades in and out whilst going through some reverb.


All in all long description, but necessary to explain everything. The piece is quite scary and meant to represent someone trying to kill you. Hope you get something out of this, enjoy!

It may or may not be loud depending on taste. It sounds ok on my end, but my perception of loudness is not the same as yours so....


This track relies on 2 chord progressions, the first being the main one, whilst the 2nd is a sort of a passing progression. Nothing changes throughout, apart from an consistent increase in dynamics, whilst new stuff is added. We start with the chords (Which is 2 pad layers, strings and a choir), and then a melody, and then arps, and then finally a beat and bassline. It's very cool in terms of structure, but it could be perceived as boring by some. All i can say is, that i used my OHC to make this, so enjoy!

It sounded great on it's own, as a kind of dark almost emotional piece, that world be perfect for any songwriter, but then it evolved into Trap music, both because it felt like the natural thing to do, but also it's not something i've done in a while. Plus as well, it plays more into the singer/songwriter kind of vibe (Or maybe even rap), which i feel is the best for these kind of images. No lyrics in this one, if you are confused by me saying Singer/Songwriter, as it's the vibe of the beat that gives you the impression. All in all, hope you like it!

I ended up combining 2 beats, because the first one was a bit hard to expand, and the 2nd one was a bit too long (And a little bit repetitive). The first one got to the point where it would just be too loud if i kept adding more stuff, so i decided to switch it up and break it down into something more...softer and a little weird. The 2nd one was already getting a little over 3 minutes, when combined so i decided to not add anything else and just keep it. Maybe a little too happy who knows, but i was really working to the limitations of a strange theme. Oh well, hope you like it anyways!

This one is quite the experience, at 8 minutes, and really let's me go all out on the synths, drums and other instruments. It's kind of a piece in different parts.


After the intro we have the main piece in itself. We then take a sort of detour with an extremely long solo, that lasts about 3 minutes, with pads and pianos coming in and out. We then return to the main parts of the composition, which gets added and taken away, before we finally finish with a sort of breakdown. We also have some monkey voices, for a bit of authenticity. Yeah i just had a lot of fun with this, especially knowing it's a bonus, and it won't be voted on. My bonus mixes aren't made with quality in mind, and are mostly there to act as sort of fun music.

THIS A BONUS DO NOT VOTE! I MEAN IT I WILL KILL YOU IF YOU VOTE FOR IT!


I have continued in my quest to present a handful of Ape Escape sources to be remixed, and so far i have succeeded. I won't be doing it every round obviously, i might relax it a little, because Ape Escape has been dominating the past few rounds (And i don't always win, just remember that. Democracy for the win lol), however you can't deny just how good of a score it is. What draws me in is just how fun it sounds. Even with it's heavy electronic edge, the melodies are just bright, cheerful and very cartoony. I often call this kids music with a grown up edge to it lol. It's just hard to describe it it's that good.


The third game is more traditional, in comparison to the first game. I mean the first game was very much PS1 Jungle, like there was no denying it had that sound. However in this one, the breaks and bass remain, but we get more of a traditional instrumentation kind of vibe. Tubular bells for the snow sections, Jaw harp's and Banjo's in the western sections, and in this case for the forest we have a Yodel (Which sounds like it came from the Goofy Disney shorts. More on that below), a French Horn melody and a Harmonica as well as an Accordion, so it has

a folk tinge to the piece.


In terms of remix, i just took the 2 minutes and made it into closer to 6 minutes. I split the track into bits, which then get sprinkled in and out (After the initial run) as a way to return to the familiar bits, whilst also adding new bits of my own. I was really expanding it. The style hasn't really changed (Keeping in MnP tradition), and the sounds are both my own and similar to the original. The Yodel (As i said earlier), is a combination of a flutey like synth and Goofy's infamous Yells from the Skiing cartoon, which i careful position to make sure they were somewhat in key. Some of the yells don't have a pitch, whilst others do. So it was balance really.

No but in seriousness, although the theme is Boomerang, i decided to use a digeridoo as my main sound source, to keep in line with the Australian stereotype. The rest of the sounds are moulded into a DnB outline, for me to then throw in some insanely hard hitting drums. I seem to be getting better at this sort of thing :). I did include a guy saying the word Boomerang, so i did follow the theme, i just did it a little more...differently. I liked the results here, hope you do!

Melody wise everything is as it is, i just merely did a genesis conversion kind of thing. Shame i couldn't do more with it, it's a pretty awesome tune. Oh well, i did the best i can. Enjoy!

Yes there is a greek section in there, don't ask. It just felt right at the time. It's actually an expansion of an old project, that just felt like it was meant for this theme. I was thinking of reserving this, because it just sounds too good, but then i thought, no they're better ones out there, so i used this one instead. It's primarily guitar based loops, on DnB like beats, primarily to reflect the liveliness of these images. It's a very fun piece, and fitting to the theme, enjoy!

I decided to do something along the lines of chill but upbeat, with specific chord like structures designed to paint some vivid colours. I wanted it to be more of a colourful sort of amazement, however i didn't it to be just a pad and some bells, i wanted to develop it into a free flowing piece, that mostly is around 1-2 chords, but of varying degrees. The point is that this isn't a structured piece as such, and the only thing that really keeps it grounded, is the solo melody and drums. Everything flows in the background. It's not the easiest to describe, but nonetheless i had a ton of fun working on it, and it works well for the image. Enjoy!

Not really deviated from the original, it's more or less in the same vein. However that's not a bad thing, as the original has a kickass 80's feel to it. My main goal with this one was to take it further than 2 minutes, play around more with the main riff/hook and introduce some new ideas not seen in the original. I also threw in a key change at the end, because why not. It is very much simple by design, because of the original. Lastly there is the famous vocal samples of the original game.

Ape n Breaks (BONUS DO NOT VOTE)

posted in PRC451 on Jul 27, 2022

THIS IS A BONUS DO NOT VOTE, I'M NOT KIDDING!


It has been my mission to spread the good word about how awesome this music is. I mean ok, it is electronic so of course there might be some biases, but honestly what draws me in is actually not the grooves, but the melody ideas. I don't know how Sochi Terada manages to make well use of such cartoony ideas, whilst also having a very cool overtone to it. This one is more of the serious vibe if you were to kind of asses it, but for the most part it's very light and almost part atmospheric, part cartoony sounding. It's super fascinating, and above all else, it fits the game extremely well, so much so it's kind of what i expect for this series.


My cover isn't particularly ground breaking (As a lot of my pieces are), but it does showcase me having fun, trying new ideas and above all, just experimenting. There's 5 layers of drum grooves, made out of individual breaks chopped and programmed. It's topped off with most of the ideas of the original, such as a soft pad, some twinkly bells and a dynamic sine like melody, but also it takes it into a more atmospheric edge than the original (Which was already atmospheric to begin with), and plays around with more of a cloud like nature. The last 2 minutes strips things back into a more deeper like texture, whilst still retaining the melody ideas. I had a lot of fun making this, and i hope more Ape Escape sources get remixes, because they should! Enjoy!

This track is based on a repeated 3/4 phrase that doesn't change apart from dynamics. The rest of the track is built around that featuring big choirs and pads, also playing mostly drone based material, and a string section with a 4 chord sequence, which is accented by the bass and bass piano line. There is also some techno like drums for movement, some wind based stuff out of noise channels and a vibrant solo halfway through just to keep things exciting whilst not loosing the feel. Took me a while to perfect this one, but overall i think it's a really neat idea. Hope you enjoy!

I was meant to submit this a while ago, but the website went down, so i couldn't do anything for quite some time. But thanks to a kind extension from Bundeslang here we are. It was all ready before the deadline, the website happened to be down that's all.


The main bulk of the remix is basically expansion. Taking a 1 minute loop into something resembling 6-7 minutes. I also included some new funky parts to keep with the spirit of the composition, as well as add some breakdowns to avoid it being too consistent all the time. The drums are 3 layers of breakbeats, and a drum layer of just kick and snare, because the breaks were more percussion than full on drum grooves. I had a lot of fun on this, and was vibing hard to the mix. I also used this opportunity to try out a new VST i just got my hands on, which i mostly used for the lead sounds.

Took the source in a funky 80's kind of style. It sounds a tad bit different from the original style, but it's definately in the realms of MnP, especially since it's in the same key, and bpm, and uses the same melodies. Everything in the middle of the piece, is my own stuff, to account for the 1 minute runtime of the original. This includes new chord progressions, and a breakdown with just drums and a bell. The difference between this and the original source is also the 80's styled beats, and the rich bassline to make it really funky. I enjoyed making this, so i hope you enjoy listening to this!

I missed 30 seconds, because of time lol. Calm Samples + Thick DnB makes for a cool combo. I've done these kinds of blends before, but this is probably the most sample reliant out of them all. It's basically loops that form the melodies, whilst the beats adds a bit of rhythm to the party. I really like the relaxing sampled loops, despite it being of the more simple variety. I didn't use loops from a sample pack by the way, these are taken from actual musical records, chopped up to form melodic ideas. Really loving what i've done here, hope you do too!

I nearly did a cover, but then i thought no, it needs to be more than simply being warm. I also tried doing more 1 chord like material, but something clicked halfway making that track. I'd remembered i made a start on a Psychedelic like piece (Or at least closer to what Psych music is, compared to my previous efforts). I listened to it, and while it's a little to energetic for the theme, the vibe is perfect, and i couldn't bring myself to not use it, so i did. I just merely expanded upon it, added more instruments and melodies, and just overall make it into a fully fleshed piece of music. It starts off already warp like, but slowly and surely it gets even more messed up, whilst still retaining a coherent chord progression and melodic idea. Like this one a lot, sounds fun. Hope you do too!

I tried to channel my inner Bach for this, so it's going to sound very different than what i normally do. I did remix the composition, i took essentially the main melody, and parts of the harmony, and tried to make 3 voices for it, as kind of a fugue attempt. I also expanded upon a 1 minute piece, by adding new melody ideas both at the start and the end, turning it into around 2:30. It's not something you might have heard from me yet, but it was a fun exercise in creativity, and the original does heavily feel like it's inspired by Bach, so i tried that mindset. Hope you enjoy!

In comparisons to the original, there are 3 things that are completely different than the original:


  1. I added more chopped breaks in this one, compared to before.
  2. There is more of a stronger chord progression in this one, than ambient flourishes.
  3. There is more of a looser structure, with more breakdowns than last time.

For the most part it's a 80s styled beat, but soaked in reverb, for a really hazy feel. I actually wanted to make Psychedelic music, and this is the closest i ended up going to. I wanted to go further, but because of time, i ended up doing this instead, so it's more semi-psych. I also opted to endlessly loop 3 chords, as an experiment in minimalism. No changes, because it wanted to try as little as possible in my approach. There is also a long-ass solo in them middle for a bit of fun, and vocal contributions from Rapper Juice WRLD (RIP), who coincidently made a song entitled Candles. I felt it was fitting to the track, and added some depth to it. I just merely stretched and pitched it. Surprisingly monotone in melody, but then after all it is rap. All in all, might not be everyone's cup of tea, but i hope you enjoy it nonetheless.

THIS IS A BONUS DO NOT VOTE, I MEAN IT.


I treated this as if it was a sample, and flipped it into a lo-fi hip-hop like beat, but with the addition of some new sounds, like a choir, a chilly bell sound as well as some sound effects and other stuff. I didn't want to take away the properties of the original, so i tried to make sure it was as minimal as possible. Anything else i added was merely a supporting element, not a big change that ruins the flow. After all, the beat should pass through no problem, without it being too intrusive. Whether this all works is up to you, but the idea was very cool nonetheless. I felt this needed to be expanded upon, hence why it's not a mere 1 minute, but a good 4-5 minutes. All in all, hope you like it!

I know it sounds similar to last week's entry, but i was accounting for the lack of time, due to my incompetence in not realizing that this compo exists lol.

Mostly because i didn't have a lot of time to finish the beat, and also because i needed to justify a bit of the genre. I obviously can't rap, or know any rappers so i used Text to Speech for this. It is a bit wonky in some areas, but i was juggling the lack of time. I had an hour for this compo, not 2 hours like most people have. Oh well glad you like it anyways!

Were getting an awful lot of city themes in these OHC's lol. I can't remember the last time i did a jungle track, but i decided to follow in that style for this one. It has a lot of calming atmospheric elements, going against smooth sub basses, and thick Jungle breaks. It's almost meant as a laid back piece, designed for you to chill out with, whilst retaining that high energy you might find in the city. I really like what i've done here, it's very smooth. Hope you enjoy!

Because the source in question is only really 20 seconds long, i had to make sure i exercised full creativity within my remix, that's why i opted for a long intro and ending of some source, both to properly introduce the piece, and also because of my style and genre choices. It's also a great way to slide into the melody. I also expanded on the sounds, since it was only a bass pattern and a melody. So in this case i added an acid synth, a pad, piano chords and a more breakdown like finished. For only 20 seconds, i feel like i've added enough to make it last. I hope you enjoy this!

This track has the synthetic ideas you might associate with trance music, but infused with a breakbeat tinge to it. So it's breakbeat, mixed with trancey elements. Although it's a very peaceful almost calming kind of image, it actually has a bit of that space like atmosphere to it, so i didn't want to just make happy music. I also wanted to try and have 2 distinct sections, that still play off each other, whilst sounding different. In a way it's part space music, part beach like music. All in all, i hope you get something out of this, i like what i've done here.

Great source pick APZX! Very melodic, and kind of has scope for plenty of different styles. In this one, i was feeling the mood for some 80's synth music, so i tried as much as i can to go in that direction. Even though it's only 50 seconds, i actually had a fair amount of ideas for expansion, so i got 4 minutes worth of music out of it. I also like that the sparse drum arrangement, allowed for me to experiment with different drum machine styled sounds. There is also a long solo in the middle, which is accompanied by solo drums and bass, as well as a fade out ending for some closure. All in all, i hope you like it!

I couldn't keep it to a simple drum jam, so i had to add some basslines and some chords to the mix. I still tried my hardest to make sure it was as minimal as possible, because the goal here is to get the drums to come through as possible. It's predominately tribal, with extreme amounts of swing, and drum layering. It's kind of experimental, and honestly i don't think that's a bad idea. I mean the Dad Joke i got kinda sucked in my opinion (It's something probably your 80 year old grandpa would say lol, no offense.).

I tried for what i can only describe as some kind of mobius loop thing going on. Basically i made a chord progression, and then transposed that progression throughout the piece, based on the relevant major or adjacent notes or things like that. That's really what i was exploring in this piece. Nothing really changes, as the melody remains the same, as do the chords, it's really the key. We also have of course drums and bass, as well as a section B, which has the same transposing idea, but with different chords and sounds. It's kind of a different, yet fun piece, i hope you have fun with it.

Instead of my usual structure and programming, i decided to let loose, and simply click record instead. So whilst i was recording, in real time i was manipulating sounds/adding new melodies/drums etc, all within the recording. The result sounds very unstructured, and really lends itself to a jam. It's not me tweaking live synths, but rather working to a single pattern/region whilst messing around with stuff. That's also why i went for techno, because i felt this would be the best idea for this kind of setup. I don't think you've heard me live yet, or at least what i constitute live, but this is the best you're gonna get. I might do it again, but for something from a less repetitive genre. All in all, i hope you like it!

There's a bunch of bad distortion in the end, that i didn't have time to fix, i'm sorry :(


As you can tell, this tune is awesome. Ristar's music is so uplifting and cheerful, and really brightens up your day. It's also packed full of really cool unique grooves, you'd never find in a game of this magnitude. This one is also packed full of varied melodies and solo's, makes it rife for remixing. I did this in technically 2 parts, but they all bridge together as one. Think of it as, the main composition in general, and then an extended coda of some sorts.


So the first part is the standard Ristar composition, but with a lot of synth upgrades, rather than going for the Latin feel. The second part, is me going crazy with the intro brass, and making it almost like some tropical paradise or something. It's also where things get a little loud, both because i ran out of time to fix it, and also i because i ended up doing a lot of corrections/reworks to fit my idea. It's a very cool idea, that in the future i might work on, to perfect. Even if it's not perfect, all in all, i hope you like it!

No but seriously, this tune is why Sonic music is often held in high regard. It's funky, lots of syncopation and really has some dynamic melodies. I didn't want to go away from that feeling, because i feel it just works. The one thing i did do, that's major, is the addition of the main metroid melody, which is blended in section B, as a way to bridge the sources together. I also surprisingly didn't need to change much of the melody, because it actually fits unironically. I also included an intro and an ending, because the original just jumps right in, without any warning. All in all, i like what i've done here, hope you do too!

I used a number and text generator to generate:


  1. The Polyrhythm i'm going to use for my main mallet motif's.
  2. The key signature of the piece
  3. 3 time signatures for each of the main drum hits, making this unstable groove.
  4. The tempo of the project
  5. Whether it's in a Major Key or a Minor Key
  6. The time signatures of the remaining drum hits.


So what you have here is a piece made entirely out of LUCK

Excellent choice OneUp, this tune is sooo groovy! I couldn't expand upon it, it's already a perfectly complete tune. I'm struggling to see what else i can add, especially for it's 4 minute runtime. The only extension i did was really...a proper fade-out ending. I really can't see what else there is to do.


In terms of music also, there is nothing to do. I can't really change it, because to me the track is already complete, i just made sure to upgrade the sounds, and emphasise more of the funk aspect, that the original is hinting at. Drums come from breakbeats (Reconstructed), and the chords/melody/bass remains intact throughout the whole thing, mostly synthesized stuff. It's what i felt was right really. I was grooving out the whole time, it's a lovely tune. Had a lot of fun with this one, hope you do too!

Wasn't expecting a 3 minute track out of this, but then again, i did do some copying and pasting. It starts in 200bpm gabber territories, before a brief interlude of calming hip-hoppy like breakbeats then a return to gabber. It's very dark, almost like Sci-Fi horror or something. This idea was extremely fun, i would love to do a variation on it, someday. Anyways, hope you enjoy!

Eventually an idea came to my head based on the sounds of a running caf and the end result, becomes this. Hope you enjoy!

This track encompasses mostly samples side-chained to the extreme and soaked in reverb for something experimental. The track is minimalistic to a dree, but that's because the sidechaining is an instrument in itself, not an effect, and because of how extreme it is, it makes for some cool combo's in my opinion. The only other thing to mention, is some pad chords, some kicks and percussion, as well as slow changes to new sections. I hope you enjoy!

Now this source is lovely, and of course a classic, so i went into this with so many ideas, hoping it would be a lot of fun.....turns out i couldn't be more wrong, because of boy i didn't realize just how complex the time signatures were. That took up a lot of time, trying to mould it into 4/4, because of the style i was trying to go for. Why must Tim Follin make such a potential banger into a very weird time signature tune. Still awesome sure, but so much missed opportunity here...


Now you can probably tell what i went for, i am a bit of a clichehead sometimes, but i do feel it was needed, especially for chords these epic. It's basically a techno/trance kind of vibe, with heavy sidechaining, large drums and synths, as well as breakdowns and build-ups. It's what you would expect in that realm. The ending is just a drum breakdown to the finish, to soften things to a close. All in all, i hope i've done it justice. Enjoy!

It's kind of like a melodic undercurrent, that's kind of calm, but very unerving whilst having a very distorted smear over the top, that turns it into something kind of industrial.

It's primarily an ambient track first and foremost, but done in a rather experimental way. First, everything is in 3/4, including the drums.

Lastly, it's more of a slow developing track, like minimalism, but without the boring stuff. The only other thing to mention, is that it's soaked in reverb.

I was originally going to try a Metroid type soundtrack, but my initial efforts resulted in a techno track, than dark ambient. I guess i'm just not cut out for ambient lol. Anyways.


So what we have here is essentially my take on a Contra styled fast paced Run n' Gun game, where swarms of enemies are coming from all directions, while you walk through different stages. It's all fast paced, no time for sitting, hence why the music is fast and violent. Taste is personal, so it may depend on how well you take this music.

He plans on ridding the world of it's electricity so he can come in, and set up his own universal generator, thus saving the day. He is an evil genius, and the generator has a suspicious trick up it's sleeve, causing everyone to be hypnotized to his power. You must destroy the generator, before he manages to shut off all global electricity for planet earth.

  8. Technological (Stage 5 - Space Station)
  9. The Generator (Final Boss)

As a result of the 6 min rule, i ended up chopping of the tail resulting in an abrupt end. Not happy with that, but i only just realised after rendering, and it's the rules i need to follow.

I settled on a trance number that was original ravey, but i modified the chords to make it more sparkly/christmass'y, while also retaining the rave. It was basically, more happier than the original. Add in some sidechain, and reverbed bells, and i have something that sounds good, although i didn't have time to expand or add more to it, because it took so long even finding something i liked. Hope you enjoy!

Im still out as I celebrate Christmas across the country, so this is another GarageBand submission. I also couldnt follow the theme this time, because this one made me leave for the whole day so I made this in the morning, within the limit, whilst also going slightly under 6 minutes, so its all good. Its primarily experimental ambient and noise music mixed with beats, all because i wanted to be a little different. Anyways hope you enjoy!


P.S: Sorry about the length, I forgot i made a long one. Hope youre not mad about that.

This track is as angry as it gets. I was initially gonna do a metal track (Or at least a close proximation), but it didn't work out, because i wanted it to go really hard.


And i don't just mean basic distortion, i mean so much it's just pure screech, while still retaining a structure, an arrangement and a melody/chord progression. The distortion was soo much, even my DAW couldn't handle it haha. In the end, it's either too loud, or not loud enough...


As for the melodies, it's mostly chord stabs, a full on progression with a choir, acid synths, riffs and other oddities. Tried to navigate through a really laggy daw for this, there was soo much amps going lol. All in all, it might not be everyone's cup of tea, it was certainly a different and fun way of making things. Hope you enjoy!

I Am Impact for the Genesis

Aside from the goofy nature of the piece, i was really struggling to make something out of it. Maybe it's the instrumentation or just how overt the voice is lol, but despite it being a lovely tune i couldn't really get anything major out of it, and for a while i really was struggling.


In the end i figured i'd do another Sega Genesis remix. I mean after thinking long and hard, this was probably the one idea that would actually work out in the long run. I was expecting this to bee a nice rock/pop tune, turns out to be almost a full orchestra, especially in the MIDI, however in the end i think it worked out ok.


All FM sounds were created on VOPM keeping in line with the theme of Sega Genesis/Mega Drive. I essentially have a custom created sound bank based on GM that i go to, for all my instruments.


Drums come from real Genesis games. This is not a 1-1 cover, so it's not squeezed into 6 channels, because otherwise a lot of important details would be missed, so it's not really doable.


All in all i hope you like it!

Tonight's Theme is: Imaginary Friends.


Featured in 2hts 190.


I randomly generated the theme, i didn't generate anything else, i just made a track as i normally would do.


I know it says Event 85, but as far as i'm concerned it doesn't exist in a literal sense, so i picked an old theme and took that as the "theme" for event 85.


It's pretty much uplifting music, but i went in the unusual sense to combine it with harsh hitting drums, both slow hardstyle like kicks, and fast DnB beats. Fun for sure, and i hope you like it.

After much darting between ideas, i settled on a piano piece that i had worked on earlier, as an old project, but it was left unfinished, at merely 10-20 seconds. I fleshed it out to 3 minutes. This piece ended up being so good, i might end up making it a 6 minute OHC entry in the future. But as of now, enjoy!


Apart from thick reverb, nothing else has been added, no additional instruments, just a pure piano. I've been trying different piano's out, and none of them seem to match the tone i'm looking for (Some sound very mechanical, which does not work at all for this piece). In the end, i settled for my default piano, which sounds fine. Anyways.

No but seriously, these photos are spaced themed, which was good, because i did fancy doing space music. It's very open ended, with lots of cool fragments, so i made sure to emphasize that in the music. That's why this track is both airy, and atmospheric, but also light and sparse, for that perfect contrast. I also wanted to add some movement, and so i feel DnB was the perfect genre to blend it in. I really like this one a lot, it's a very well produced idea. Hope you do too!

The tune was better than expected, when i listened to it, so i thought this was going to be fun, but when i actually loaded it up, it turned out to be the opposite lol. It ended up being quite hard, because of all the complexities (Especially the time signature changes in the second half). In the end, i decided to do a Sega Genesis cover, because i thought it would be something different from me, and honestly it actually sounds really good. It turned out to be better than expected. It really sounds good.


In terms of sound, everything you hear was made using Genesis sounds.

All the drums come from Sega Genesis games, and all the FM synths, was made using VOPM.

It isn't a full 1-1 genesis cover, because if i reduced it to 6 channels, it would sound super flat, and bare. It needs all them channels for that thick sound, if you know what i mean. Anyways, hope you like it.

Wait why is blood dripping out of your mouth? And why do you have a knife? Oh god no...noo......nooooo...noooooooo!!!"


This track started out with me messing around with bass synths. At first i thought, maybe i might do another ambient piece, but then i realized, it will just be the same as Round 679, so i wanted to keep the same idea, in a different context. I tried a 4/4 pulse, but it was too predictable for me, so i time-stretched and the end result is a 3/4 triplet on a 4/4 pulse kind of thing, except every aspect of the drums is in 6. So we feel it in 4, but it's written out as 6. The kick is designed in a way, to feel like one big boost in low-end, where you don't necessarily hear the kick. This is all topped off with weaves of sound, including risers and swooshes, vocal snippets of Jim Carrey, pad chords, mallet instruments, and of course percussive sounds, soaked in reverb. The whole thing is designed to where it mostly comes in and out of the background. I love what i've done here, because despite it's minimalism, the groove works so well, and the developments are super interesting for it's run-time. Hope you enjoy it too.

This time, there is no gabber, and i've tried to make it as metal as i can, without compromising on stuff. It might sound very compressed as a result, but i was being as genre accurate as i can, so take it as you will. All in all, pretty good stuff, even if it needs to be improved upon.

Content Warning:

The following remix is a 14 minute, very repetitive, (At least to the specifications of what i might consider repetitive) very fast, very violent and quite synth heavy. Although this is not meant to be taken seriously, and i'm mostly goofing around, it can be quite challenging to listen to, because of the length and assault in sound. I was mostly just messing about with sounds, having fun, and wasn't intending this to be a serious listen. I know it sounds like it's a bad thing, and that i hate what i've done here, but that's not the case. I'm just explaining that this is long, and repetitive, and to those who aren't a fan, to take caution. Please listen away, if this does not bother you.


I won't bore you with the specifics really, because it's just taking up description space, but i essentially did this:


  1. The original track was 150bpm. I boosted it to 185bpm.
  2. The drums in the original were standard trance like beats (I believe it's trance, some peeps might disagree). I instead opted for distortion and room reverb on my drums for heavier dance beats.
  3. The original is 7 minutes. This one is 14 minutes.
  4. I added an build up and a outro. The original had an intro yes, but this one essentially is the build-up to the intro if you catch my drift lol.
  5. I added a few heavier synth sounds, in contrast to the original, even though most if not all sounds remained the same.
  6. Vocal samples are rife in this remix.
  7. More emphasis on risers and FX are placed here, in contrast to the original.
  8. And lastly, certain sections that are more background material, get emphasised in this remix.

That's it really, hope you like it (Or at least have fun. I was really just messing around at this point lol)

All silly descriptions aside, this track is made up of heavy soundscape ideas, to match the images essentially. There's not really any other musical genre for me, that best fits the images, than spooky soundscape music, i just can't see it. Most of it, is soundscape patches, modified, as well as the occasional hit. This kind of music needs to be 10 minutes, however rules are rules, All i can say is, enjoy the spookiness.

I apologies if it seems a bit too lengthy for you, but i had to make a climatic ending, which added about a minute, i intended this to be 5 minutes. 3 seconds under 6 minutes though, so it's legally in the limit, anyways onto the track.


Obviously people know about the weird viral meme, where people rate "EAS" alarm systems, which i don't even know how legit some of these are, they could just be made up. Despite the purpose of signalling when there is something important, like a nuclear attack. People rate them, using weird funny jokes, i don't know, i don't get the point. One thing people gloss over throughout the whole thing, is how good some of these sound, in the context of music, and for this theme, i had found the perfect one, which i bounced 3-4 times and changed octaves for each one. It was then slavered in reverb for the ultimate in scary atmosphere. The rest is just pitch bending sinewaves in reverb, a pulsating bass, a tom (Covered in distortion) that acts as both a kick and a timpani like hit. And lastly the FX on the whole thing. I like what i've done here, it is one of my simpler tunes sure, but it was fun. Hope you like it too!

I called it solo because of it's middle section. I felt like doing a Doors "Light My Fire" inspired middle solo, but more synthetic. It's very wild sure, but i feel it helps elevate the looping nature of the song, since it only lasts for about 30 seconds in total. I also decided to add a intro to hype you up into the song, as well as a simple fade out ending to bring it to a close. It isn't anything major, in terms of revolutionary sound, it's just more of a mere upgrade, however the solo is the whole point of this composition, kind of what brings it together. All in all like what i've done here, hope you enjoy!

The Final Rave

posted in PRC433 on Sep 28, 2021

This remix is split into 2 parts, both held together by a transition. The first part follows the original arrangement, albeit with synthesizers rather than orchestral sounds, since i don't have the tools to do so (Nor the space). It still retains the marching drums, and the cheery tune. The second half goes in a 180 direction, turning the uplifting tune into a dance track, complete with thick punchy beats, piano stabs, and juicy basslines. The melody is retained, but the remaining elements have been replaced with more synth heavy/dance beats. This is also where the arrangements comes to life, as this is the climax of the whole piece. The ending slows it down for the final chord.


I love this source, as i do with a lot of VGM, but i'm not well versed in constructing realistic sounding Orchestral music, so this is more geared toward electronica, and honestly i think it sounds great. I hope you also enjoy this arrangement.

play_arrow

I'm pretty sure we already had this theme for 90mc. I know this, because i remembered an image similar to this (Round 009, after researching). Now funnily enough i did a loud noise piece for that round (Even though we also had an image of a lizard), but as much as i wanted to repurpose that, for this round (Since it kind of felt similar), i choose not to, and not because it felt like the lazy option, but also because i wanted to make a sort of follow up to it, where instead of a drone, i decided to take a sampled breakbeat on a ride for 5 minutes. This is why it might be too experimental for you guys, since the breakbeat isn't edited, but sliced into a irregular time signature, and looped consistently. It's also extremely noisy, and probably hard on the ears. This is in part based on the image, which is forcing me to do harsher styles of music. Long story short, hope you appreciate it.

I can only describe this as a kind of Minimal Techno/Cold Ambience sort of thing. The images are very wintry, but not very uplifting than i first thought. It's more so, very cold and chilly, and i kind of wanted to reflect that.


The music is very simple, with the core foundation being a kick, a looped 1 bar bassline, and a plucked 2 note arp. The rest weaves in and out, like waves of cold ambience. It's very much an ethereal piece, fitting for winter. Kind of mystical in parts. Really like this one, the minimalism does it justice. Hope you like it too!

Oh god Golden Sun brings back so much nostalgia, it's such a fun game. I don't remember the second one, only the first one for the GBA, but man those were some fun times. This is interesting actually because the OST to this one, doesn't sound that much different to the first. I guess it's the same composer, and same soundfont. Long story short, nostalgia is ripe here.


Now for this tune, i wanted to really make it dark and brooding, almost tense if you will. It's a very simplistic tune, arguably repetitive, because were only dealing with 2 chords throughout. This is where creativity is needed, and i tried to make sure that i keep things developed through the repeating of the notes. I almost make it into a 2 part-er with the first part, being beatless and melody-less, then the fill comes in and reverse crash into the drums. What's also interesting is my choice of an acoustic like kit, than my usual electronic stylings. It just felt nessecary for this source, as i didn't want to take away some of it's acoustic value. All ramblings aside i hope i did it justice. Enjoy!

Despite the dark atmospheric images, i wanted it to have some kind of movement.

In the end i made a syncopated 1 bar chord loop, full of complexities and repetition, but done in a way that is both chill and head bopping trance (Which is layered with other pad sounds and synths). I don't know what exactly made me do this, but nonetheless it's a good unique idea, that combines the funky rave vibes, with the dark ambience. Don't forget the arps and 303 for good measure. All in all i really like my work here, hope you do too!

This track is a combination of both the eerie, the scary and the moody. I made it so it was reflective of how scary it is, being alone, while simultaneously giving it a bit of a moody atmosphere. It's very much in the realm of both rich ambient music and noise. I didn't want it to be full horror movie, because i felt pad chords and choirs might lessen the soundscape into more of a feeling. Also it just felt right when making it. All in all, really love the work in this, i'm glad i broke out of the habit of making drums. Hope you enjoy!

I don't normally use it, but in stuff like this it makes a big difference, especially if you want that effect. The breakdown in the middle is mostly a chord progression on a pad, a melody, and a more free-flowing build-up. All in all i really like this, it's a ton of fun.

I used this idea to make something very minimal and very slow, cursing along at 80bpm. It's also very rhythmical, employing a lot of synth and bass sequences all running in one note. The chords are also simple, i wanted to keep everything minimal with slow developments (Which is easy as this is 80bpm). It's very relaxing, but kind of groovy, i really like this one a lot. Hope you do too!

I could have gone the CotMM ambient route, however i choose not to, because A, i would need it to be almost musically accurate, (Such as recordings of footsteps, leaves breaking, creaky doors etc.) and i need to YouTube the samples, and B i wouldn't know the exact vibe causing me to restart the project over and over.


Instead i settled for this, a varied number consisting of very extreme contrasts. Beautiful, kind of haunting ambience mixed in with insanely fast and overdriven beats. Gabber basically. Something i don't think i've actually done in a while, and i thought would be a different approach. I don't always make what, you would expect from me, it's like a element of surprise. On top of the beats, is bass heavy and acid heavy synths, just for movement. I like this one.


Note: This is the last composition i will make before i go away on vacation for just under 2 weeks. So this means my next couple of tracks (If i manage to submit), will be made of GarageBand. I don't think anyone cares, but it might impact the quality of my tracks. Just saying.


Also note: A Free Party is a kind of illegal rave, that people attend to, usually hosted in abandoned buildings such as the one in the images. They usually have the makings of a rave, but in smaller quantities, and of course done unlicensed and illegally, as a result of this, Free Parties never stay in one place, often as a result of avoiding getting caught. Just adding this in, if you don't know, especially since i think my music kind of reflects that. I'm not advocating for any of this by the way, it's all on your own accord.


Man a lot of text this week, unusual for me, to type this much.

Out in the Open Air

I decided to make a slightly more simpler track, using an array of samples soaked in reverb for something kind of pretty, while the rest is mostly to compliment it. The drums build the energy, because you know...it's running, and the pad chords further develops the ambience (As a sort of contrast to the samples). Now i say simpler here, since it's mostly just small samples coming in and out throughout, on top of a very simplistic bassline. I like it, and i hope you do too.

It's mainly heavy reverbed synth sections for the ultimate ambience, followed by simple breakbeats, funky basslines and a lot of different parts each with a similar idea. It's very developed, and yes i had fun with this one. Also it's under 6, don't panic. Hope you enjoy!

Live for Another Day

The project file is listed at 20bpm lol, however it's actually around 60bpm. I decided to really slow it down, and make it very much like an adventure. The original source tune is a nice well written rock-ish melody, while i made the opposite of that. Put it this way, unless you speed up my track, it's very much taking all the melodies into a different context. It's very spacious and has a heavy 80's drum sound using as much reverb as possible. It's a combination of synth leads, and very wide key/bell sounds. The drum sounds are also treated with reverb. I also added orignal sounds not in the MIDI to make it more thick textured, as we are dealing with only 4 channels of audio in the NES (5 if you count the DMC channel). The only other things i added to the track were counterpoint melodies, solo lead synth melodies and a voice sample of Commando, because you can tell this video game was inspired by that. I mean everyone knows Arnie right? All in all it's a very different almost 180 direction with this arrangement, and i hope you enjoy it.

The beats are more of a drum machine style, than a house/techno thing, and i also tried to incorporate some acid styled sounds to the mix, while still retaining most if not all of the ambient elements that makes it spacious. Hope you like this one.

A track that consists of a looped groove extended for a length period of time. But the groove isn't in standard 4/4, nor does it stay throughout. Instead we have a distant reverb which plays about with the sample, as well as heavy pads and bells, almost like a distant echo. It's very experimental, and quite industrial sounding, so take it what you will. I like the vibe here, it's very unique. Hope you enjoy!

Great tune, very much made for an orchestral sound, however in this case i made it more electronic, and tried to add some beats.

THIS IS A BONUS DO NOT VOTE, I MEAN IT. IF YOU DO VOTE FOR IT, I WON'T BE HAPPY.


One of the downsides of this awesome soundtrack unfortunately comes from Soichi Terada's tendency to go for some really repetitive melodic ideas. Literally it's a 2 bar chord sequence, and a simplistic melody. I'm not saying it's bad, it's the one reason why i love this soundtrack, and why i picked it, because it encourages creativity. I only say this, because it makes this a challenge to remix, since you have to use your brain.


In this case i didn't change the tempo at all, i just beefed up the drums to make it more heavy, and completely separated the original source, with a completely new section, with more darker intense chords and stabs, and a load of ravey goodness. The middle section bridges it together, with some familiar elements, while brining some new elements.


Honestly i really like what i've done here. For all it's simplicity i think i've done it justice. Hope you enjoy it too.

Made a very dark kind of electro-ambient thing. It's very much atmospheric, and also full of very unique chord progressions. The drums kind of also lend itself to industrial music, but it's really how you interpret it. I'd say electro-ish with elements of industrial. Laser beat if you will.


Oh and don't forget the most important. DAW crashes, because they are so much fun right? Had my DAW not crashed, i would have time to do more mixing and adjustments. (It crashed a fair few times, not just once) Oh well, frustrating aside i hope you enjoy this.

I could have gone all sorts of directions, the most obvious being minimalism. However i can't go for extreme minimalism, i want to put some effort in surely.

So i tried for a Industrial Techno number, with some seriously full blast repetition, power chords and thick in your face beats. It's seriously distorted, and definitely something different in the mist of simplicity (Which honestly i consider this a very simple track, because the chords and drums don't exactly change). Don't dismiss it though, there is ideas and movements here to peak your interest, even if it get's a bit much. Have fun anyways!

Man what a tune, i really went to town on this one. I just love the Battle Garegga soundtrack so much, such amazing tunes.


We have 2 parts, or at least sort of 2 parts, since the second part takes up a lot of the song. The first is at a reasonable tempo of 150bpm, showcasing all of the elements of the original. The chords are there, the piano is there, and even the arps, and pad. The one thing different besides the tempo, is that everything is more aggressive, it's more in your face. The drums are very much distorted, in line with hard techno, followed by rich synths to amplify it.


The second part is much faster, residing at 180bpm. The key signature has changed from a Bb to a C, the rhythm is more simpler, because of the tempo change, and there is more structural ambiguity. It's not following the original arrangement, but rather parts come in and out, with also a breakdown in the middle, for some high energy fun (And a breakbeat for good measure). It's essentially hardcore, for you electronica nerds out there. The ending reverts back to 150bpm as we prepare for the fade out. It's a full blown journey, with me trying new ideas, and arrangements. I was just having too much fun lol. As a result it is extremely long, but it's all arranged, so i tried to have some structure in to not make it too random i guess haha.


All in all, hope you have a lot of fun with this, the same as i did making it.

Had to do 4 revisions of this, so it was around 6 minutes. I wanted to go under 6 min, but i was losing time, and i couldn't really shorten it any more, since i needed to get the body falling point across.


The main reason for the length revisions, is that i included a really long drawn out tempo automation, that spans from 2 minutes until the end. (It's hard sometimes, because it never tells you the time in FL, since it's done based on real-time tempo changes). This is to simulate a body falling from a building and hitting the floor. Always here to try something new. Personally some people might find it a bit weird, a bit too out there, and i'm sorry for that, but all i can say really is, hope you try to have fun.

It's mainly a beautiful ambient track with very rich harmonies, all building up to a very powerful DnB beat. The key here is though, that it takes a while to build up, with 4 minutes of slow moving chords before the beat (While keeping the lush ambience and minimalism). I think this is pure gorgeous for me, i am super happy with what i've done. It's nice sometimes to combine the really soothing sounds with the really harsh. It's also quite minimalistic, with more looping parts, and er...also it might be a few seconds over the enforced length, but it's to make sure the sound fades out. Didn't check until afterwards, i'm sorry about that. Hope you guys aren't mad. Anyways, hope you enjoy!

Decided to make a sort of smooth (Maybe even jazzy) hip-hop/electronic thing, with a hint of spicy chords and a funky melody.

play_arrow

It's a backing track, that is definitely lacking a singer. I didn't want to add any melodies in, because i believe only a singer can fulfil the duty. It's very bubblegum-ish with a lot of tight dance grooves, and a breakdown in the middle. Again the reason it's simple, because i need some vocals, both harmonisation and melody wise, and since i can't sing at 2am, nor do i want to sing anyways, it's an instrumental.


Also the title is a reference to a movie, try and guess if you can!

Tried adding heavy swing beats, almost like something from the Caribbean, to carry the chords and melody along, which kind of works actually.

Took the source into some heavy Eurobeat territories. Not the Initial D kind of Eurobeat, you might be thinking of. I'm talking early 2000's Eurobeat dominated by groups like the Factory Team. It's essentially a very hyper sound, with lots of bubble-gum like melodies, matured cheese (In a good way), and a very drive-forward beat. It's a very uplifting genre.


Here's some examples if you are unsure:

Normally i wouldn't do this, because i want to give people a fair chance, however i am genuinely curious to see how these sources work together, and low and behold, they work amazingly. So much so i didn't even need to do anything to Inner Darkside. Both are in the same key, and have a brilliant rhythmical balance. It's as if it just works lol. I knew i was in the right place.


The source is built up like this:

  • The main groove is ripped from Rise of the Robots, as well it's chord progression, synth bass and snare patterns. I basically covered the whole source.
  • The melodic elements of Inner Darkside is incorporated, both the main melody, the counter-melody and it's other subsequent sections. I did not incorporate the rest, just the melodic ideas.
  • I tried to contrast between light and heavy parts, while also including build-ups to keep you pumped.


All in all it's a, rather effective take on a mix of both. I'm proud of this.

Everytime i watch this, i always never get a feeling of a relaxed state, it prompts me to do hard music. Thankfully though, this is techno/hard techno. Sometimes even i get sick of making gabber. I like this, it uses a bit of minimalism. Enjoy!

Man this theme is just...perplexing. I don't know how to translate this to music. So i restrained myself to shopping, and since it can be a somewhat fun experience, i made it more...ambient. I really don't know with this so er have fun.

I tried a buildup thing, using my voice for some kind of chant thing. I don't know it works. The meat is essentially, extremely heavy stabs and gabber beats in the "drop". It's something huh?


Sometimes i end up masking my voice with all my beats, which is why it's good to read the lyrics as you listen!


Lyrics:


I was once a man of fortune.

Trying to invent myself

But a curse came down upon me.

And left me with no stealth.


I had suffered a big headache

And a big blow to my chest.

My arms just kept on growing.

You can figure out the rest.


My whole body is shaking,

My legs at the time were quaking. 

My pigmentation had turn green.

It's not what it had seem. 


I wondered what is going on?

Why are my arms gone?

Can someone please please tell me?

Oh why can't you see?

Excuse the weird title lol, just trying to be goofy. Now honestly i could have taken a crack at the source, it's really good, however i kind of wanted other people to have a chance at winning, so i took a break, for this and mixed my own source. That, and also i feel nobody will probably touch this. So i did it anyways. I just merely expanded into 7 minutes. I didn't want to change much, because i already felt the vibe was achieved. I just merely extended. It's a bonus anyways, nobody will vote for it, so why not. Had a lot of fun with this, hope you will too!

After a fairly lengthy walk, you arrive at a village. Nobody knows you, and you don't know them, but they treat you kindly.

 

You begin to make acquaintances with the townsfolk, they offer you bread and wine, while also providing you with comfortable accommodation. You've only just gotten to introduce yourself and already, they make you feel at home, because that's what it ishome. 

 

You smile, lay back, and let out in slight grin while proclaiming I think i'm gonna like it here.

 

I decided for something melodic and heavy, something between orchestral and electronic. I also added a beat later on, to keep things interesting and to pick up the pace. I think this is among my best i've done in a while, but that's bragging lol.

You know, this is the first i've heard of this track, because i don't really listen to these kinds of soundtracks. Unpopular opinion.butit's just not my thing.

 

That said though i did want to take a crack at it. I didn't really want to do orchestral, because, welli just don't have the tools to make it sound good (Even though i could in theory). Also this source is calling for some drums, and not so much light toms and stuff, hence my need for electronic elements. I like this, it's good enough.

The police were called (He gone and mutated)

They came with ammo (He gone and mutated)

He was wrecking buildings up (He gone and mutated)

Cars were getting smashed (Who cares about cars)

 

He was moving quite fast (He gone and mutated)

No one could keep up (He gone and mutated)

Everybody was in fear (He gone and mutated)

The nightmare won't end (He's on a mission)

 

He's out of control 

He's terrorising people

When will it end? (He gone and mutated)

When will life begin? (He gone and mutated)

The dudes going wild (He gone and mutated)

Everybody's getting killed (How unfortunate)

 

Why is this happening? (He gone and mutated)

It's ruining our city (He gone and mutated)

Standard Reggae track, written at 75bpm.

 

Only 3 main drum sounds are used, closed hat, rimshot and snare, plus maybe the occasional open hat.

 

Swing is used, especially on the hats. I made a 16th note pattern, with a few pauses here and there, to accent the groove.

 

All kick and rims, land on beats 2 and 4, with the off-beat rim-shot as a way of accenting the beats.

 

Skank chords are the driving force, as well as reverb and delay. It's like a dub track basically.

 

Bassline is simple and repetitive, and accents the kick.

 

The Reverb and Delay are the effects, of what Dub would be.

 

Oh and i also added random vocal effects, because.why not. The fill is a sample, and not a original creation. However though samples of fills can be used in this instance.

THIS IS A BONUS DO NOT VOTE, I'VE TOLD YOU SO MANY TIMES.

 

I was flicking through, with the intent of getting a combination of rhythm and looped melodies, because they are the easiest to remix, however though, one track stood out, as this rather dark creepy, with the occasional brightness, kind of ambient track. I wondered what it would sound like, spaced into 7 minutes, especially with how beautiful it sounds. So i did just that.

Lyrics:

 

I've lived in apartments
I've lived in a home
I've travelled in trailers
When I used to roam
But now in these places
You won't catch me dead
'Cause I'm happy I live in a split level head

I do what I want to
No worries, no cares
If anyone bugs me
I'll climb level stairs
Way up to a level
Where astronauts bed
'Cause I'm happy I live in a split level head

In here time means nothing
I couldn't care less
I don't run for buses
And trains are a mess
There's no one to care for
I don't make a bed
'Cause I'm happy I live in a split level head

I like how I'm living
I'm nobody's slave
My head's above water
So don't make a wave
There's no door to lock
And no door to be fed
'Cause I'm happy I live in a split level head

 

So why should I move
When the neighbourhood's right
No taxes to pay
And no landlord to fight
Now I call this living
Once more as I said
'Cause I'm happy I live in a split level head

Now you keep your old turf
Your hills and what's new
You sure couldn't have them
And live like I do
You think I have problems
But you do instead
'Cause I'm happy I live in a split level head

I live with two people
I like most of them
He likes most of me
And I like most of him
Their my alter egos
And to them I'm wed
'Cause I'm happy I live in a split level head

There's no simple status
In my neighbourhood
It's that kind of thinking
That keeps it so good
I don't take the lead
But I like to be led
'Cause I'm happy I live in a split level head

Remember when you ran away
And I got on my knees
And begged you not to leave
Because I'd go beserk

 

Well you left me anyhow
And then the days got worse and worse
And now you see I've gone
Completely out of my mind

 

And they're coming to take me away ha-haaa
They're coming to take me away ho-ho hee-hee ha-haaa
To the funny farm
Where life is beautiful all the time
And I'll be happy to see those nice young men
In their clean white coats
And they're coming to take me away ha-haaa

 

You thought it was a joke
And so you laughed
You laughed when I said
That losing you would make me flip my lid

Right?


You know you laughed
I heard you laugh, you laughed
You laughed and laughed and then you left
But now you know I'm utterly mad

 

And they're coming to take me away ha-haaa
They're coming to take me away ho-ho hee-hee ha-haaa
To the happy home with trees and flowers and chirping birds
And basket weavers who sit and smile and twiddle their thumbs and toes
And they're coming to take me away ha-haaa

 

I cooked your food
I cleaned your house
And this is how you pay me back
For all my kind unselfish, loving deeds


Ha! Well you just wait
They'll find you yet and when they do
They'll put you in the A.S.P.C.A.
You mangy mutt

 

And they're coming to take me away ha-haaa
They're coming to take me away ha-haaa ho-ho hee-hee
To the funny farm where life is beautiful all the time
And I'll be happy to see those nice young men
In their clean white coats

WARNING THIS ONE IS LONG. IT WASN'T MY INTENTION, THERE'S A LOT OF CHORD SEQUENCES TO GET THROUGH, AND I WANT TO MAKE SURE THERE'S ENOUGH DETAIL IN EACH SECTION. THANK YOU.

 

Ok i interpretated this, the best i could. It's hard, because i don't usually go for simple chords, unless it's the theme's intention.

 

The first 2 minutes, is a standard C Major to C minor thing. It's as simple as it gets, i was really just trying to make it sound cool and interesting, despite it's very simple chord pattern.

 

The next minute, abruptly cuts for some 12 bar blues, with a piano chord sequence.

 

The next minute or 2 is the Canon in D chord sequence, however i played it in C Major, and converted most of the chords into 7th's, therefore it becomes a more complex version of Canon in D.

 

Last few minutes is a custom, looped progression of F# Major 7, D Major 7, C# Minor followed by an inverted F# Minor 7, before the repeat. What's interesting is that D does not appear in the F# Major key. therefore it becomes a sort of borrowed chord. 

 

All in all, this was definitely a unique exercise, however if you want my honest opinion, one chord sequence is just enough. Still i had fun though.


Thanks Sensei Johnny for the homework!

Repetitive Hard Techno Sketch

It's a rather simple techno track. Really my goal was, to change the drums, but keep the patterns the same. So yes it's repetitive, but in the sense of, consistently changing drums, but keeping a non-stop looping synth.

 

The only additional drum elements, come in the form of a off-beat snare which is doing the same thing as the hi-hat.

 

A ride cymbal, doubling the bass drum. (On every quarter note)

 

And a crash cymbal for impact.

 

It is a sketch after all.

 

More videos on drums will be coming throughout the weeks, so stay tuned!

It's actually harder than you think, in terms of remixing. It's only 50 seconds long, and has a lot of repeating elements, so it was hard to not make it repetitive. The difference with Truxton, is that i actually remixed the whole thing, because of how short the tracks were. This is on a slightly different level.

 

Whatever, i hope you have fun with this.

Let's be honest here, there's only really 2 sections, played on technically 2 instruments. 3 depending on how you interpret it, but the 3rd voice is essentially the response to the call and response melody of section B.

 

All i really did, was made a dance version of it, by adding beats, and a more background second half (Before it reverts back to the main melody), which is the same bassline, buterdifferent.

 

Again i was going by an extremely simple tune, so i had to be as creative as i could.

 

Enjoy it anyways.

For this one, it's mainly expansion, since it's only 50 seconds, which is extremely short. For what it is, i'm happy with this one. Enjoy it!

This video gave me too many ideas, so i decided to make a sequal to my first beat-tape. Welcome to Volume Two of my Beat-Tape series, this time, not strictly focused on hip-hop, but a combination of a few. It's very relaxing though, which i'd say is also a bonus.

 

I had to agonise over the length, since the 3rd beat is my favourite beat/track I've ever done, and i didn't want to shorten it. However if i left it, the length would reach 5 minutes, and Mr. Antik isn't going to be amused.lol. Still it's only 30 seconds over, and it was only a one off. (Please Antik, it's only 30 seconds over, come on.)

I was originally going to hone in towards the original style, which in this case is metal, but i decided against it in the end, to be more creative, partially because it wouldn't be much of an interpretation, but mainly because i don't have decent tools to really execute it as such. It wouldn't sound bad though. It's Contra after all, so you know it will sound good anyways.

I pretty much converted everything to electronic. Synths instead of guitars, and electronica styled drums for the kit. I actually found something i liked, and i hope you enjoy it too.

Instead of it being house, it's now breakbeat, and instead of it being 2 sections, it's the second half with more samples, more kiddie-fide, and more upbeat. I made it very much suited for the video.

Thanks Hoboka. I wasn't intending to pick this, but then i remembered what i said in my MnP106 source pick, and this got postponed.

Still with good reason, now's the good time to show the world, some absolutely kickass video game music. This isn't your usual cutesy Mario music or your grand epic Final Fantasy tunes. No this is unlike anything i've ever heard. Probably the most experimental video game OST out there, and i just absolutely love it!! It defies to me, the qualities of thinking outside of the box.

Again it can be a bit much, for the most traditional listeners, but for someone who is an expert in musical listening, this is a masterpiece. It's like breaking apart an old techno track, and gluing it together in the wrong order.

Look point being, just enjoy this ok? Didn't do anything fancy. Consider this a cover/upgrade.
play_arrow
DO NOT VOTE THIS IS AN ORDER!!

I've already won the last few rounds, so i think it's fair i remix my own source. Besides, i'm feeling more inspiration for Contra than Secret of Mana. Sorry that's how i am.

Although loads of Contra Games have fantastic soundtracks, this has to be one of the top 3. The sheer energy from the sounds used, the combination of rock and electronic beats. One minute it's heavy metal, the next minute it's Hard Trance like this one. Although by design it's extremely simple, but if you have creativity you can actually turn this into something epic, which kind of what i did. I structured it almost like a Trance song, where it goes from nothing to something. Also the 2nd main difference is a pseudo melody, whereas the original was just chords. Still though, that does mean ignore this masterpiece.

Hopefully, while my entrant homes in closer to the source, it should be enjoyable enough.

There are certain parts of the soundtrack, that sound more cinematic, like a movie, but with beats.

I picked this one, based on the fact it was requested, and also it's my favourite from the soundtrack. Literally this track is soooo goood.

Bearing in mind he only composed this one song, not the whole soundtrack. I believe it's actually an arrangement of the Super Monkey Ball: Touch and Roll Ice Lolly Land theme. Whatever it is, it's still amazing any-who.

Now luckily unlike say Jet Set Radio, there is only one sample really used (Despite it mostly being looped based anyways), so it allowed for me, to use a lot of cool unique synth patches, on my VST. Mix this in, with some saw leads, a choir and a whole load of dynamic drums to make this one funky journey. Bass could be beefed up, however if i did that it would clip the mix. Oh well i had a lot of fun with this, so enjoy it!

Now because this soundtrack rocks, and i er...don't really have the appropriate tools to make it rock, i did what i can. It sounds fine actually, although i'm a bit worried the drums are overkill especially the kick. I might have over compressed it a bit.

Pretty much 2 half's, one more aggressive than the other. This theme gave me the excuse to make trap, a style i'm not particularly into, because there's not much stylistic differences, and majority of this style, to me sounds formularic, but can be integrated in some cool ways. Use it right, and it sounds pretty dope. Second half is more straight up DNB. The one thing that remains is a simple consistent ambient motif throughout.

DuckTales is a soundtrack, that doesn't need much to make it sound great. Noise channels for percussion, triangle for bass, and melody on squares.

So to compensate, for the heavy retro feel of the original, i upgraded it (With suitable rock drums, and bass), and added a theremin to up the Halloween flavour. I also expanded it too, since 40 seconds is faaar tooo short!

I love Truxton. Nothing complicated, but nothing forgettable. Very uplifting as well, for something that's all about intense action. It's actually a more calmer shoot-em-up so that's probably why. I'd figured, since it's a really short sound track, with 10 tracks at roughly 40 seconds a pop, i would remix it all. So regardless it's still a remix of this source, and well...all the other sources.

I love Minecraft, i love the music, definitely my top ten Video Game soundtracks. I just love this game. I'm not obsessed, but i do play it frequently. With this in mind, i sort of made a ambient soundtrack kind of thing for the game. Or something among those lines. Enjoy for what it is.

This is a rather simple source, where it's all about dark atmosphere, so nothing too complicated in the theme. As a result i tried a combination of ambient with maybe a bit of funk, as i would imagine this is how it would be in the original. Again it's a Game Boy Advance game, so we will expect saw-tooth synthesis and cheap squarewaves. Great tune though.

Let's just say it's a sound upgrade, for the sake of easiness lol. I hope you enjoy anyways.

I didn't really change much, apart from maybe a lot of sound upgrades. Didn't even expand it, largely because i didn't any ideas flowing on expansion, i just kept it as it is. I think it's still going to be good anyhow.

Despite it being a Sega Genesis soundtrack, where pretty much you will expect FM, it's very 80s sounding, almost like Synthpop. With that in mind, i went in that direction, making use of squelchy synths, brooding pads, and sort of big drums (Not too big, where it takes up the whole room).

The Phantasy Star series definitely contains some under-looked music. Go check out the score, it's pretty dope. Personally for me, i prefer Phantasy Star IV's soundtrack, but number 2 is still great so...

All in all, i hope you enjoy.

This track is straight up uplifting summer. Reggae vibes, is the melodic elements, and the DnB beats, make it less generic, and more unique. The melody is strong in this one too, even with it's simple chord progressions (Reggae after all, doesn't need ambiguous harmony) One of my favourites from Sonic Lost World for sure.

As usual with both MnP and Bonus Mixes, i tend to mainly upgrade, since many tracks need the love it deserves, so i kept the vibe of the original. Even then, that's the point of MnP so, regardless i kept the feel of the original.

I wanted to keep the feel, because it the style was perfect for it. To be honest, it's just an extended HD upgrade, which makes sense, as it is MnP. It did need expanding though, it's waaaay too short!

As much as i didn't want to, i had a lot to say with this one, so it is a fairly lengthy tune. Surely your not going to bash me for doing 6 minutes.

I like this source. Simple, effective and combines a bit of cinematic flavour with your usual synth-pop/rock beats. I don't think it's the best entry I've done, but i am happy enough to keep it.

Again, added orchestral parts, to a synth bass, while retaining a sort of drive to the beats...which come off as extremely repetitive, but i somehow lost my project when working on this, and i don't really want to do it again. Who knows, maybe it's good or not.

Put it this way, it was a good enough source to merit me, a somewhat palletable remix.

Enjoy it, whatever happens.

This is a bonus, please do not vote for it.

So many great games with so many great soundtracks often go ignored. Unless your Amiga mad, or know your early computer games, chances are you may not know this one, which you should. The soundtrack is full of intricate synth layers, and beautiful pounding beats. Pretty much the Techno Heads golden ticket to really good music.

I actually managed to look at the mod, and i was really surprised he only used 2 channels. 2 channels, for the entire composition, yet it sounds like he used 7. That goes to show, how limiting yourself can often lead to good results.

This really is probably the more memorable and enjoyable soundtracks for this system. My take is pretty much a more 90's styled regrade. I say regrade, as both an upgrade and a remake. Rave stabs power through as hits, synth basses, you know the usual stuff. It's a bonus, so don't think about it too much. Whatever happens just enjoy it.

Let's just say it's...er....passable yes?

Enjoy the hardstyle....lol
play_arrow
Ok i'll be real with you, i couldn't remix one source, or combine sources into one mix (There all too good to ignore), so i did the unthinkable, i remixed all 3 as separate remixes. That's right, you are hearing 3 remixes each with it's own signature style.

The first one, which is the RCT2 remix, is essentially ambient music, before beats and bass turn it into something more upbeat, but it never looses it's feel.

The second is a more rock based arrangement of the Octopus theme from Mega Man X. It has a synth lead kind of melody, and electric guitars. And a slap bass.

The last is the Godzilla remix, which enhances the lead melody with synths, and uses a bass guitar. What you would call Synth Rock. I didn't add much else, as i liked the minimalistic atmosphere i got from my choice of sounds. But i did extend it, like i did for the others, as it's way too short (40 seconds long)

Whatever happens, i hope you enjoy all 3 as one track.

It's an NES tune, so a lot of it, is left up to interpretation (It's 2 channels of Squarewaves, 1 channel of triangle, and a noise channel, so that's quite limiting, meaning creativity is going to be needed).

I don't know what exact style he was going for, but it felt very much like 80's synth, so this is what i came up with. It's a nice tune, very much reminds me of Follin, meets David Whittaker. Whatever it is, i hope you enjoy.

Whatever happens, just enjoy.

Of course, i only have so much in my disposal, but for what it is, i kind of like it (It's more synth that live, but again, it's interpretation).

Whatever it is, just enjoy.

I can't argue the legacy Tim and Geoff Follin have made in the retro video game community. Alongside Rob Hubbard, Martin Galway and Jeroen Tel they were considered the best in NES composing. Only the true chiptune fans will recognise the genius of these composers.

What i like about the music, is the really well used sounds. They really got some good synth patches for a limited system, and of course Drums without Squarewaves or PCM, which is impressive on it' s own. Of course other composers are just as good, but they knew what they were dealing with the system.

My take is more or less a Acid House/Techno mix, expanded for a longer runtime. Nothing much else to say, i was more or less kind of going for a HD upgrade. Oh well enjoy.

The melodies of Planet Automation (Ristar) and Titania (Starfox) are integrated.

The ending switches to Green Greens (Kirby) for some added WTF.

There is also a brief Star passage (From Mario).....because why the hell not.

What i did, was created a actual well produced mix....then literally trashed the hell out of it. Even though the mix is, meant to sound....like a proper remix, At times, it looks like one big head explosion.

I tried incorporating some elements of the second source, which is great pick, but it felt out of tune with the track, and it was already going for too long. So i decided it's to leave it, and do a normal bonus mix) Honestly in this set up, i don't think it's fair i should really participate and do a proper mix, as i already won the last 3 rounds. So yes, i will sit this out, and Bonus mix my track.

Summer Carnival 1992 Recca is actually an extremely impressive game. This was release in 1992 for NES. Sure at that point the NES, was already a sell out (As in it shipped to almost every house) But regardless of time period, this is one visual feat. First of, the system itself barely scrapes 30 FPS (In fact, probably even less) and yet the game still managed 300mph worth of enemies that come charging at you. Really though the most impressive is the music. We have 5 channels used to it's maximum capabilities, with each sound constructed, with actual consideration. There is over 2 sounds playing simultaneously in the PCM, all at extremely decent NES quality, so to say that this isn't technical impressive, would be stupid.

Honestly with all respect, yes this soundtrack is a little repetitive, but that's like all techno. You can be creative with your mixes, and thanks to the second source, it's not hard to combine them (Of course the Sax Solo). I do hope we get a mix of entries, especially those, that combine both sources, because that would be more impressive, and it can show appreciation for both sources.

My bonus mix, is essentially what the soundtrack would sound-like if it was remixed in 1992. It's probably not the most inventive mix, but it's a Bonus, and i really wanted to keep the stylistic choices, as this is for me, what made the soundtrack unique. Again, it's only a bonus, take whatever you can from it.

This is a remix of the escape scene, in Havana Night of the game.

Although this soundtrack isn't revolutionary, and honestly not my personal favourite of the guy, there are a few gems to be found. Seriously though, this soundtrack is funky. It's interesting how he achieved sound really funky guitars, as a lot of the tracks here sound like he used a tracker (I read somewhere in an interview he still uses a tracker, even for the modern games).

All in all, it's simply and elegant. My take on the soundtrack is more funk than rock. (Yes there are some more rock oriented pieces on the score). It's a very simple piece, but there is a lot of interesting ideas to be found on here. Enjoy whatever happens.

This one was tough for me, as the other source is just as good, but because i won the last one, it's probably a bonus anyways. I hope we have a good mix of entries, and if someone remixes both, i'd be impressed. Whatever i decided to be a little safe lol and do some Contra Remixing.

This is an awesome tune. I will say Contra Hard Corps has some pretty kickass guitar solo's like this one. Format X also has a pretty great solo. Seriously the soundtrack is fast and frenetic, but pretty enjoyable, for me my personal favourite in the franchise. I've played the game too, and my god i couldn't reach the end without Game Genie XD.

My take is less metal, than the soundtrack is advertising it to be, despite the fact half the score is raving techno. This track sounds very rave, despite it's sort of metal influences at the end, and beginning. I really took the electronic rave/90's sound to the front, so we have a loud euphoric, but intense track.

To simplify it, it's pure rave and i hope you enjoy it anyways.

It's a fictitious (Rather Short) soundtrack to a bullet hell styled Shoot-Em-Up called Fearless. It's an arcade game (Totally not inspired by Battle Garegga lol). and consists of a ship brawling through locations taking down a swarm of enemies. There is a boss at the end of each stage. (6 Stages in Total)

There isn't a plot (Because it doesn't showcase much of a story in game).

The soundtrack is very rave based, as with a number of shoot-em-ups. I was really taking notes from other Shoot-Em-Ups while adding my own style to it.

I'm sorry but i couldn't resist. I absolutely love this tune! It's not often you find video game music that really goes beyond the boundaries of what you would normally find in a Video Game soundtrack. I don't know about you, but the sounds that Yuzo and Motohiro got out of such a ridiculously limited system are well crafted, and the experimentation also sets it apart from the standard melodic and harmony's it had. Sure you have to have appreciation for it, and nobody should force you to like it, but my word this is impressive and completely unique in itself.

I wanted a raw crunchy sound, so i made sure to carefully craft my synths, just like what they had to do back in the day. A lot of processing to the drums, and things like that. Enjoy anyways.

Sometimes it can be hard, to determine the direction of the track, when the music is dealing with limitations, especially since it came from an really old console. Nevertheless i still managed construct a somewhat decent sounding track.

From listening i got a 80's synth vibe, largely with it's disco like bassline, and rather locked straight 4/4 beat. I don't know, your mainly dealing with Squarewaves, so creativity is going to be needed.

For all that it was worth, i think i did a fairly good job. I'm not the judge, that's for you to decide. Enjoy anyways.

Probably the first time I've ever used real strings in a 2HTS production. It's mainly ambient, although the drums suggest a more breakbeat vibe. The whole thing is in 3/4 by the ways.

This is almost like an expanded and enhanced version. I tend not to stray from the original as i want it to still be identifiable. I never seem to get good results from making things completely original anyways.

I made new sections, while still borrowing from the original, because the original composition was just barely over 1 minute long, while this is about 4 minutes.

I sort of made it this fast synth rock, similar to how the original did it.

I'm not sure how sand relates to this love like scene, but whatever. I ended up with a extremely uplifting experimental ambient track.
