All of my remixes/covers of popular (or not) game music will be posted here.

Retro game covers/remixes

I was just about finishing up this track when I remembered it has been 10 years today that my four-legged pal Charlie died. So I dedicate this tune to him. Rest in peace old pal, I miss you.

This is the Name Entry track from Wiz 'n' Liz, a game originally for the Amiga, it got ported to the Genesis/ Megadrive with the legendary Matt Furniss as the composer.

Honestly, I never thought I could do it. for 8 odd years it proved a track I thought I would never make. It was kinda like my audio nemesis! Like "one day I will beat you..." kinda thing. I have to say, I wish I had better sounding plugins but they aren't too bad. The bit that's bothering me is I thought finishing it would be more gratuitous. I guess I'll just have to find another track to make my nemesis...

I wanted to see if I could make the track that played during one of the events when Tifa is trying to peice Clouds mind back together. Once again made by ear and a little by memory. I  used the best free guitar plugin I had so it sounded good-ish.

Freya's theme from ff9 done in my usual style completely by ear as always.  The first half wasn't so bad because I practiced it a lot when I was 15. The part I struggled with was the ending but I got there in the end and ended up with this.

It's not going to sound 100% perfect but I'm happy with how it came out.

Way back in 2008 I made this track because I love a game on the Sega Mega-drive called Lemmings and wanted to try and see if I could make a better tune out of it. The level it's modeled on is "tailor made for blockers."

At one point during 2009, I decided to tackle Yuffies' theme from the videogame Final Fantasy 7. I was really bad at re-creating certain tunes (I still am!) so I didn't think I could do it but I somehow managed to get it right.

I was really into a guy called Instant Remedy at the time (I still am!) and his re-creation of a C64 tune from a video game called Lazy Jones was my inspiration for making the track this way.

I had a go at trying the Tetris theme (A). It's pretty minimal but it's all there.

My take on the track known as 'Laughter' from the Phantasy Star 4 (IV) soundtrack. Not entirely different from the original, I just wanted to challenge myself to make it with better sounding synths.

Laughter - Phantasy Star 4 (IV)- Synth remake- edit #1

I didn't change the melody in any way, I just wanted to challenge myself for July 2016 and try to attempt this song before August came around. I searched for the best plugins I could find and it quickly developed into what you hear now. It's a little rusty and parts may be wrong/missing but I think I gave it a good whirl.

A big thanks to Matthias Westlund for creating the Sonatina Orchestra samples you can hear in this song and also to Joe Stevens for creating plugins out of the samples! 

And lastly to Nobuo Uematsu for creating the original and for being a huge inspiration to my music making.

Life's been hectic recently guys 'n' dolls so uploads will be slower than usual until things cool down over here. I hope this teaser whets your appetite for things to come and I'll get back to uploading semi-regularly again soon, til then, take care guys.

Dan.

Just for fun. Made this whilst messing around with my old Juno DI.

I haven't made anything new in a while, kinda feel like i'm stuck in a rut. I made this a while ago and I know it needs tweaking but I just don't have time anymore. So here is my first attempt at the Du-Di-Da! theme from Ristar. One of my favourite games on the Megadrive and one of my favourite OST's to listen to from time to time.

Maybe I'll get to make a better version in the future?

A really quick rock version of a Lemmings tune. Still getting to grips with shreddage so this was good practice.

Music maker & sound designer. I make my own music as well as put my own twist on video-game tunes. I one day aspire to be a video-game music artist.  I take my limitations and roll with it!

If my tracks put a smile on your face or a boogie in your step, then my work is worth it! :)
