"It's a beautiful day outside. birds are singing, flowers are blooming... 
On days like these, kids like you... 
...should be burning in hell."

Toby Fox's signature song now covered to 8-bit. Made in 0CC-FamiTracker 0.3.12 .

Undertale - MEGALOVANIA (Chiptune 2A03+FDS+N163+S5B Cover)

"Asgore... he sucks at naming things but he's a tough nut."

This one was quite tough to remake. I wanted to keep the original feel while sounding a bit more clean; I hope I pulled that off.

All FamiTALE demo tracks can be downloaded at our Bandcamp: https://famitale.bandcamp.com

Part of Project #FamiTALE or #UNDERNES. Not to be confused with the other UNDERNES. This project is made by hand for actual hardware NES playback; an NSF is supplied that can play back on original Nintendo hardware. UNDERTALE belongs to Toby Fox. The game and original soundtrack can both be bought at http://undertale.com/.

Made with 0CC-FamiTracker. I wish there were a way to have multiple detune tables per song, but that's not happening anytime soon.

Undertale - Bergentruckung + Asgore (8-bit NES Cover)

Here is some 8-bit music I've composed! It's the start of an 8-bit music series I'm doing, which will involve composing short tracks that fit the classic retro genres, such as RPG, Platformer, Action Adventure, Puzzle, you get the idea.

This first piece is the kind of music you'd hear on the prelude/prologue of an RPG, whether it occurs before or after the main title screen. In my head, I imagined a simple background, perhaps of a castle, with slow scrolling text filling in the player with some story context. A classic way to start an RPG!

I've strictly used 4 channels of sound here, to try and keep it as authentic as possible. I didn't use a tracker, I used the Super Audio Boy VSTi. I love it, but I wish I had picked up Super Audio Cart in the Black Friday sale. Big regrets there. Hopefully it's on sale again over Christmas!

I've stuck my own reverb on it as a personal preference, so it loses some authenticity there. I know that Super Audio Cart has a SNES reverb setting, so if I do end up getting it I'll use that in future.

8-Bit RPG Music - Prelude/Prologue

The second in my series of 8-bit RPG Music compositions, written for an imaginary game. 
This piece would likely take place as the adventurer is setting off on their adventure for the first time, perhaps leaving home.

8-Bit RPG Music - The Adventure Begins

The third in my series of 8-bit RPG Music compositions, written for an imaginary game. 
I imagined this tune to be the theme of a strange kooky shop that the adventuer comes across in their adventure, a shop that sells all kinds of knick-knacks and potions and things. And I bet the store owner has some kind of secret...

8-Bit RPG Music - Shop Theme

The fourth in my series of 8-bit RPG Music compositions, written for an imaginary game.
The title is pretty self-explanatory - this is music intended for a royal castle of some sort. This setting is a classic trope in old school RPGS; perhaps the player arrives at the castle very early on in the game and finds that something tragic has happened - a kidnapped princess or a stolen crystal. And the King personally needs your help!
Anyway here's the kind of music you can imagine playing in this castle.

8-Bit RPG Music - Royal Castle

This is Hårgalåten (or Horgalåten), a traditional Swedish folk song, which I have arranged for piano. This is a very simple arrangement and easy to play along with. If you would like it scored, please let me know.

I chose to arrange this tune for piano because it's one of my favourite melodies. I first heard it years ago on a death metal album, Lunar Strain by In Flames. It has always been my "go-to" tune to play when warming up my fingers on the keyboard as it's so painfully simple. What you're hearing now is 90% my recorded performance - I edited some duff notes and pacing here and there to make it listenable ;-)

The original folk lyrics tell of the tale of the devil, cunningly disguised as a fiddler, who lures children in with his music. The children would dance until they dropped dead. Love it.

The fifth in my series of 8-bit RPG Music compositions, written for an imaginary game. No explantion for this one really, it's a theme to a boss battle! Not one of those important boss battles with a key character, but some kind of generic boss at the end of a dungeon or something. Not my most inspired piece but wanted to put it out there.

The next in my series of Final Fantasy VII Piano Quintet arrangements, Gold Saucer -  which also happens to be one of my favourite tunes from FFVII. 

I have so much fun writing these. I feel like the piano quintet is my perfect ensemble of instruments; you can create so much depth with this and, as I'm discovering, you can arrange such a variety of music for it. 

My piano quintet arrangement consists of: piano, violin one, violin two, viola, and cello.

This is my first time using actual 8 bit synths so hopefully it does not sound totally awful as a result.

8bit Battle Music

8-bit Battle Music (loopable)

Hello! My name is Adam Haynes. I am a music composer, arranger, and orchestrator, with a First Class BA Honours in Music Composition for Professional Media.

I have written music scores for various animations and games, as well as a multitude of video game music remixes for anyone to enjoy. All my music can be discovered here on SoundCloud, or on YouTube:

https://www.youtube.com/user/petaldance

My music is mainly inspired by video game music, and the western classical music periods. My biggest inspiration is Nobuo Uematsu, and his influences are apparent throughout my compositions. I enjoy the use of strong and memorable leitmotifs and passages, and I hope that the listener will be whistling or humming my tunes subconsciously at the end of the day :)

Most importantly for me is to make the listener feel something when listening to my music - happiness, sorrow, excitement, nostalgia, if I can provoke something from just one listener then I feel satisfied with what I've created.

If you would like to use my music, or have audio uniquely composed for your project, then please don't hesitate to ask. We can certainly arrange something!

Happy listening :-)
