Second entry since I finished early.

Made this in 30 minutes then decided to start over and do the other one.

After 5 years, OHCer A-zu-ra and myself have just released our second collab album, titled "Fusion"! This is a sampling of the four different tracks included in the album.

BONUS ENTRY

For those of you who didn't already hear it in your heads.

I started late due to trying to reinstall/upgrade some VSTs. Here's my second song for this week.

Second WIP that I whipped up for Mysterious Space for the hour this week. This one is a "main theme" but we don't know if it fits into the game yet...

Uh yeah this was what I started with and then I was like wtf am I doing

This weekend I made a chiptune rhythm game in 48 hours for Ludum Dare! (complete with gameboy-styled graphics!)

Here's a sampler of the soundtrack (also made within the 48hr timeframe). Please check it out when you have the chance! It's pretty awesome :)

8 months ago, Aivi & Surasshu released The Black Box, a wonderful piano + chiptune collaboration album (http://aivi-surasshu.bandcamp.com/album/the-black-box).

To thank them, I've rearranged all 11 of the original songs in their album and interpreted them in my own style. Please enjoy my tribute album, Love Everlasting:

This is just a small sampling of some of the songs :)

Delayed gratification.

This is the 200th song I've ever produced, so I thought I'd do something special and make a tribute to the amazing awesomeness that is OHC and the OHC community. This song features tracks ranging all the way back from OHC077 (when I started) to OHC180 last week. Sorry if I didn't include any of your stuff on here--you are all really awesome and I had a ton of other things I wanted to cram in here, but there just wasn't enough time.

Hope you enjoy it. OHC vets, this is especially for you guys since you'll recognize so many of these.

This is a pretty long track, so I had to render in 96kbps again. For those of you who prefer a 320kbps version, you can get one here: http://db.tt/apGdRqsv
(Note that this will also be released in a couple of days as part of my free Monthlies albums, with proper tagging and album art)

For a complete list of source tracks used, go here: http://db.tt/Kl9w1vgE

Trivia: This is the first time I've had to split an FL project into two separate files because I couldn't fit all of the tracks in memory.

*Bonus entry*

Just messing around.

You guys rock :)

It's really quite frightful out there...

Why don't you just rest a bit?

Close your eyes...

I've been really busy for the past few days and am kind of burned out, so I didn't feel like making epic UNTS this week.

Instead, enjoy this.

It
Will
Consume
You

There,
on the far side of the moon.

Something is happening...

Faster.

Faster.

FASTER.

!!!

Underneath the busy hubbub of life.

Underneath the basement cellar.

Underneath the deepest dungeons.

Underneath even the strange world of underground caverns.



Something is moving
Below.

Murder

Death

Kill

A cavern
filled with glowing gems

A fantastic world
waiting to be discovered

=====

I resisted the urge to break out into UNTS mode this time. Enjoy =)

You enter the lair of the nanites.

What will you find?

As you tunnel deeper and deeper into the cybernetic core, what you find disturbs you more and more...

That darned governor has had his way for way too long.

Let's crash this party.

I emerge from my dark lair.

The hero is slain
by my hands.

But, what now?
What is left?

Where do I go...
from here...?

Oh no! Darkness has invaded everyone's dreams!

Our brave and magical warrior must journey to collect the 7 legendary star fragments and defeat evil once and for all!

I'm getting out of here.

...and I don't care how many aliens I have to slaughter to do it.

Another themeless compo. The first time, it was acceptable, but this...this...

this has gone too far.

Rage burns inside his soul. Pure, unadulterated hatred. He wants nothing more than to blow everything away to shreds. To destroy. Everything.

And so he does. And solace only comes after he has finished.

Ah, the sweet peace and release of pure...destruction.

Beautiful.

One life. No energy tanks left.

It's just me and my trusty mega buster.

Where is this

Who is that

What are you

We must vanquish the evil monster hiding in his lair!

But first, we shall...DANCE.

In the darkest region of earth, an evil foe gathers his forces and prepares to take over the world!!!

Who could it be...?

Somewhere in the Ice Country, there is an angel.
Will you travel the distance to find her...?

Lay back and just let the sine waves pass by...

Inspiration a little lacking today, so just enjoy something mellow and laidback.

The library--a secluded, quiet place for study? Or is it a cover-up for something a little less...appropriate?

*apologies if the bass isn't mixed properly; i only have headphones atm D:

At the moment of your death, your life flashes before your eyes. If you are deemed worthy, passage is granted to the Heavens--a shining place of wonder.

*I added some combination of VSTs that caused FL to totally freak out somewhere along the line, so I had to render to wav at that point and add stuff from there, and couldn't polish a few things I wanted to. Oh well.

Close your eyes...
Fly into the stars...

{remind me never to do a trance song for OHC again; it takes way too long}

Death surrounds you.

Dream.
A deep black forest.
Moon.
The fog rolls in.
A sound.
What is it?

Sweep the fuckin' street.

After facing numerous trials, challenges, and foes, [Hero] has finally obtained the [number] magical [object]s. Walking up to the mystical sword of legend, entombed in the sacred [temple name], he takes it in hand...

Many a deal awaits you in the underworld marketplace...but beware--those seemingly harmless mannequins you see seem to have an eerie feel about them...

There's a festive mood in the candy shop tonight...But you decide to crank things up a bit.

Setting off on a lazy pace, you wonder where your travels will take you...

Did a little something different this week and tried for some piano solo work, with some orchestral elements. All sequenced by hand since I don't have a MIDI keyboard (and will never need one, muahahaha!). Forgive the slightly cheesy piano patch; i can't be bothered to find the VST that I use for a better sound.

Step into the conflict...if you dare.
