Another cover! This time by one of my favourite bands ever, Pink Floyd.
A track I loved since the first time I listened to it. Lots of vocals layers (really, A LOT!), simple melody and joyful mood but deep and meaningful lyrics.
Thank you Roger Waters! Thank you Pink Floyd!

Ps: I have a PF tribute band by the way. This is our facebook page (under constructions) https://www.facebook.com/seeemilyplay

The Show Must Go On (Pink Floyd COVER)

An amazing song, very amusing to sing and record in general.
The first time I heard this it was during the opening titles from True Detective.
Yes, I'm a True Detective fan. You have to admit that actually it's a genial and pretty fucking amazing series. I dare to say the best one I've ever seen. And thanks to that I've been able to know such a wonderful piece of music.
So thanks TD and thanks Handsome Family. :)

Enjoy!

Far From Any Road (The Handsome Family COVER)

Another FamiTracker experiment!

I've been loving Shostakovich's music since my old orchestra days. I used to play two parts (the Waltz and Foxtrot) from the Suite For Jazz Orchestra no. 1, and then I discovered the second Waltz by watching Kubrick's Eyes Wide Shut and it's been an instant crush. Years ago I played this tune in a trio (named Golden Breath Trio) with a self made arrangement, and now I made this. It's been very funny and unexpectedly difficult. I hope you'll enjoy it as well as I did and still do.

^^

Waltz No. 2 (Dmitri Shostakovich COVER on FAMITRACKER)

Opening song of one of the best videogames ever!
I've been spending a shitload of hours running around Gruntilda's lair in company of these two little fellas. Hours of great adventures, mindblowing jigsaws and unforgettable soundtracks. So this is my tribute to Grant Kirkhope.

Thank you sir, for creating such beautiful musical masterpieces.
Sincerely, the world.

Opening (Banjo Kazooie COVER on FAMITRACKER)

It's been a while since I uploaded a non-chiptune song!
I've been at an Arctic Monkeys concerto recently, and it's been an awesome performance.
I love this band, I love their style, I love their lyrics, I love almost everything about them (except the last two albums ._.).
This song is from Humbug, their 3rd album, my favourite one.
I made this cover for my girlfriend, as a gift for our first anniversary. She enjoyed it. I hope you will as well :)

Secret Door (Arctic Monkeys COVER/Acoustic Arrangement)

Another FamiTracker cover! This time the amazing Green Hornet Theme, originally composed by William E. "Billy" May, inspired by Korsakov's Flight of the Bumblebee. A beautiful piece of music, very complex and very very full of stuff, but as always very funny to coverize.
I hope you'll enjoy it the same as I do.

I'm really losing my head on this chiptune shit! :D

The Green Hornet Theme (Billy May COVER on FAMITRACKER)

Scott Pilgrim vs The World is one of my favourite movies ever. It has music, idiotic comedy & videogames like action. Three things to die for, am I right?
I've been loving this song since the first time I saw the movie. Metric are great and Brie Larson has a beautiful voice.
And yes, she's smoking hot. Totally.

Black Sheep (Metric ft. Brie Larson COVER on FAMITRACKER)

Classical is amazing. Classical on FamiTracker is fucking incredible.
This is based on the Salieri - Mozart "piano battle" from the movie Amadeus.
Enjoy!

Non Più Starverai Farfallone GOGOso (Antonio Salieri & Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart Remix)

This is a little gift for all the new subscribers.
I made this cover quite some time ago, but I really love it. This melody charmed me since the first time I heard it.
And Saria, well, I love that little elf but it was really necessary to hide in the fucking Lost Woods? It was?
Nevermind.

By the way, I will soon upload some preview of my latest LSDj original songs!
Stay chiptuned!

Lost Woods - Saria's Song (The Legend Of Zelda Ocarina of Time COVER on FAMITRACKER)

Yeah, getting old sucks major "bits".
But this is a great way to wish your friends, your parents, your lovers, your pets, your rocks and your gameboys a happy crazy fucking 8 bits birthday!
Download this shit and sing along!

Enjoy & stay chiptuned!

HAPPY - 8FuckingBits - BIRTHDAY!!! (... to you)

I love Kyary Pamyu Pamyu.
So I decided to coverize her Invader Invader song.
This has been really challenging but a great fun.

Enjoy! ^^

Ps: Kyary marry me! <3

GOGO the Invader (Kyary Pamyu Pamyu "Invader Invader" COVER with LSDj)

Wel it's been a while! ^^
I'm pretty focused on new stuff for the next album, but in the meantime I still love to coverize some sweet videogame soundtrack.
Since the first time I heard this theme by ACE+ from the game Xenoblade Chronicles I fell in love with it. Fascinating atmosphere, great melody, a shitload of epicness.
I made this cover using FamiTracker with the Konami VRC6 expansion.
As always I put a bit of my flavour in this chiptune arrangement. I hope you'll enjoy it as much as I do.

Gaur Plain (Xenoblade Chronicles COVER on FamiTracker)

I realized that I don't do ballads very often with my chiptune stuff.
So I used a couple of hours of my afternoon to coverize this beautiful tune.
This hits me right in the feels.
The genius Nobuo Uematsu can kick my nostalgia and my melancholia every day.
Thank you, sir.

Enjoy & stay chiptuned! ^^


Yuna's Theme (Final Fantasy X COVER on FamiTracker)

And finally this is the game over jingle from the game Maxioh Dimensional Defender, a super funny and super harsh '80 style space shoot  'em up developed by MekaNeko Games
https://www.facebook.com/mekanekogames

This game is FREE TO PLAY and available for android users https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.ge.maxioh&hl=it

Don't lose hope even if you lose the game. The keyword as Always is "DETERMINATION" ;) <3

GameOver (Maxioh Dimensional Defender OST)

Finally! 
This is the track I made for the ultra amazing Chiptunes = WIN Volume 5 compilation!
You can find this fantastic compilation here https://chiptuneswin.bandcamp.com/album/chiptunes-win-volume-5
and I suggest you to fucking buy it, or you'll miss the other 51 incredible songs.

This song is composed with FamiTracker and this is its legend.
The year is 1990. Telemike is one of the most viewed tv shows in the history of Italy. On May the 3th  the struggle between the champion Mr. Carosi and the challenger Miss. Livoli gets hot as hell. A  conspiracy is discovered and the gentle mask on Miss Livoli’s face falls down, exposing her evil nature.  So Mr. Carosi takes the cake and ran. Light, fast and graceful as a unicorn. The day were saved, the  honor preserved.     25 years later the legend is still told.    Keep on running Mr. Carosi, our hero and savior. <3 

Chiptunes = WIN: Volume 5

Miss Livoli VS Mr Carosi (Epic Run) - from Chiptunes = WIN: Volume 5

Invaders Must Die & Smack my Bitch Up are songs that gets my underwear to become so tight and wet all of a sudden.
I always wanted to make a cover of some sort of at least one of those masterpieces. And then chiptune came in my aid. Why not try to make a funny and aggressive mashup?
So, with my faithful companion Game Boy, I tried and did my very best, and this is the final result.
This is dedicated to all the fellow chiptuners out there in the world, working their fingers to the bone, squeezing their brains out, searching for new sounds, new ways to make music, composing all night until fainting exausted to the ground.
This is for you, this is for us.
Because WE ARE THE MOTHERFUCKING PRODIGY!

We are the Prodigy (smack my bleeps up!)

Hello friends, and welcome to spookyville MUAHAHAHAHAHAHAH!!!
This is the song I made for Chiptunes=WIN compilation HalloWIN (gotta love these motherfuckers and their passion for puns XD).
This is made with one Game Boy DMG-01 running LSDj. 
You can find the Whole compilation here https://chiptuneswin.bandcamp.com/album/hallowin and I suggest you to fucking buy it or my ghost will haunt you and your darlings for the rest of your life. 

So have a nice Halloween errbody :3

HalloWIN

BTZP (Building Tension Zio Porcone)- from HalloWIN compilation

This year is tough. Easily one of the thoughtest in my life.
I've been dealing with lots of serious personal, emotional and social issues that nearly broke me in half. Over and over again. And the worst part about this shit is that it never ends.
But we must keep on trying, be strong, hanging on, and never lose the determination.
So with this in mind I made this cover/re-arrangement of Bergentrückung-ASGORE + Determination once again from that endless wonder that is Undertale.
I tried to put some of my mad shit in this while trying to keep the original atmosphere at the same time.
I hope you'll enjoy this as much as I did composing it.

Thank you, stay chiptuned, be fine and remember:
NEVER LOSE YOUR DETERMINATION

<3

Oh it's been a while since I thought "yeah, I'd like to make a cover of a song by  Ratatat", and I finally had the time and the right choice.
Well there's not really so much to say.
Here it is ^^ Enjoy!

And stay chiptuned!

Activation Stud + Lost In Space

Once again here we are, and once again with a submission for the super (even duper) Chiptunes = WIN: Volume 6 compilation!  (that you can find here https://chiptuneswin.bandcamp.com/album/chiptunes-win-volume-6 and I suggest you to buy the entire thing. It's probably the dopest thing ever made).
The track is composed with one Game Boy DMG-01 running LSDj (version 4.7.3). The intro is a home recording of the "soundtrack" of "Gargoyles - Le creature notturne" handheld game by Tiger Electronics.
Those games sucks so much balls. They're awesome. 

Enjoy :3 <3

Chiptunes = WIN: Volume 6

Reborn sounds of childhood dreams ~ Go(GO)liath and the Electronic Tiger ~ (Chiptunes=WIN: Volume6)

Long time no see, but as Haseo would say: "I'M RIGHT HERE!" 
:D (fanboy moment, sorry everyone)

Actually this is a really old cover from my first months of chiptune making. Originally I wanted to put this track in an album, but then things happened and I just left it behind. BUT a couple of months ago I tried a little experiment. I thought "how precise am I? Let's mix the original Dol Dona theme on my version and let's see!" and the result was stunning. 
.hack// games have one of the most inspiring soundtracks ever (and it's composed by that beautiful human being that goes by the name of Chikayo Fukuda), and Dol Dona theme is my absolute top choice. 
So this is my little experiment, I hope you wil enjoy it as much as you can. 

BTW I used FamiTracker VRC6 expansion to compose it, Audacity to "glue" together the original and the cover, and finally Reaper to mix/post-produce the whole thing.

A new funny and tasty thing is coming soon. And this is one of the tracks, a harsh re-arrangement of Sonic the Hedgehog 2 Chemical Plant Zone theme made with FamiTracker (VRC 6 expansion)

Enjoy and stay tuned! ;)

Drowned in Chemical Plant Zone (from Shiroi Noizu vs Starving GOGO)

BoJack Horseman is perfect. 
Everything about this show is perfectly balanced, studied and never left to chance. Every character is relatable and full of layers. The story is instant catchy, the dialogues are funny and witty, and in the end everything is emotionally speaking just too much to handle. 
And of course the music is incredible. 
So this is my tribute to one of the best series ever made. 
Thank you <3

Early Christmas present for all you spoilt little shits <3 
Just me destroying The Devil's Den by Skrillex with my Game Boy. 

Cheers everyone :3

GOGO's Lair (one gameboy x LSDj - COVER of "The Devil's Den" by Skrillex)

I finally started sampling stuff. And I'm having a lot of fun. 
And yeah this is not chiptune and I don't even know how to call it. I guess it is kind of similar to that music genre that cool and edgy people listen to nowdays.

Samples are from Road to the West by Yoko Kanno (from Cowboy Bebop OST) and Busted and Blue by Gorillaz. 
Made in Reaper.

This is also on Facebook and Youtube. Check 'em ;) <3

It's summer, it's hot and I'm tired and sweaty. And I'm waiting for the new album to be finally ready. So I'm keeping myself busy experimenting with my Pocket Operator 33 K.O! with some sampling fun (mainly from Resonance by HOME and laughter by my friend Deborah <3) 

So enjoy :3 

Ps: you can find a different performance of this track on youtube https://youtu.be/r9CSQTtO2NA  and facebook https://www.facebook.com/starvingogo/videos/2121725948069026/

So this is it.
The end of the trilogy. 
Ozymandias is coming out in October. 
And no shit it's another concept album, the last one I hope. At least for a little bit. 
Also this is my first album ever released by a label. 
I'm super excited to share it with you.

EDIT: the album came out on October the 13th and it has been released by CheapBeats. 
You can find it here https://cheapbeatsmusic.bandcamp.com/album/ozymandias

Ozymandias

Ozymandias - TEASER

First track of 2019! 

I had this in mind since this summer but couldn't find the time to do it. 
This is my first (and maybe only) attempt at a future funk thing and it doesn't follow the "rules" of future funk making, it has a lot of layers, lots of added drums, midi bass and stuff, so yeah that's why it's a "platonic" future funk. 
Can I say future funk one more time? 
Future.
Funk.
Ok sorry. 
Enjoy :3

プラトニックフューチャーファンク 【Ｐｌａｔｏｎｉｃ Ｆｕｔｕｒｅ Ｆｕｎｋ】

Ok so I guess I'm using soundcloud for new year gifts only now. 
Happy 2020 and happy decade then :3 
I composed this track for a compilation that never came out, almost a year has passed so I decided to publish it by myself. 
It's made by OP-1 only and it's a live performance. I used sounds from a pretty neat sample pack (https://tamarackmusic.bandcamp.com/album/op-1-soundpack-a-catalog-of-sad-tomorrows ) made by a guy for said compilation. I can't remeber his name but I'd like to thank him anyway.

So yeah, enjoy :3

La Melodia del Sottopassaggio

This is a live version of the second track of my album Ozymandias. 
I performed this in October 2019 in my hometown, Cremona, for the project "La Stanza Appesa", a really cool showcase for new and emerging  artists. 
It's made with a Game Boy (DMG01) running nanoloop mono, hooked up to a Teenage Engineering OP-1 for live effects.

Here's the link to the youtube video https://youtu.be/XnUV18WXMWk

Enjoy and follow La Stanza Appesa!
