In this episode we take an up close look at the history of video game music composer Alberto González, how he made his music, and of course demonstrate a variety of his excellent music.

Steve and I are joined by an old friend of mine, Audi Sørlie.

Episode 6: Alberto González

Having recently celebrated its 30th anniversary, the Famicom Disk System was a peripheral device for the Nintendo Famicom that it allowed it to play games on floppy disk. With it, came an additional channel of sound. We take an up close look at how music was arranged for it, how the sound channel works, and share the FDS music we find most interesting.

Here's the instrument data I compiled from 12 different FDS soundtracks, for easy browsing and making visual comparisons:

A week late due to illness (thank you for your patience!), we're finally here to discuss the evolution of SunSoft audio. From humble beginnings making simplistic arcade and early Famicom audio, to amazing, top-tier video game soundtracks.
