Codewiz's Electronic & Synth

Toad Returns From The Land Of The Dead

Sooo... here's an old earworm, that I just couldn't resist. Many of you remember the classic "Are you keeping up with the Commodore" commercial, and I had several requests over the last year if I could do a number on this. I tried to keep as much as possible from the original, but upgrading it, beefing it up and make it a little more snappy.

Since there are no multitracks available with the original vocal recordings, I just used www.vocalremovers.org since it's free, and it did a decent job of separating the voices from the backing track. Some phasing and flanging occurs, but I hope the delay and reverb plus the blending in the mix covers most of that anyway.

The song is in 163 BPM, so there's little time to relax, but it also gives a good drive. Using a lot of everything here, Roland MKS modules, Yamaha TX and Motifs, Kurzweil 1000PX, Alesis QSR, Ensoniq SD-1, TS-10, Sequential TOM and various other hardware synths. Some ReFX Nexus2 with various expansion packs here and there, and some SID/Chiptunes thrown in for good measure. It's after all... about the Commodore, right?

Tried to find the original composers and songwriters, but couldn't find any. If you happen to know who made this song, please let me know in the comments.

Thanks to The Obsolete Geek for using his parody. Check out his video on the SX-64 here: https://youtu.be/zmMasWCbefA

Also thanks to Kristian Tjessem for letting me use the picture of his C64 and monitor.

And last, but not least, thanks to my patreons and you fans out there.

I'm exploring ML arrangements with more than just chiptune music! I'm sharing this one out of the handful I did tonight because it went past "holy shiiit" and actually made me tear up a little.

The source song was a SNES-style MIDI piece from my Boot Hill Heroes soundtrack - basically the same notes, but with basic synth sounds. I used it unaltered as input, and wrote a prompt: "1972 soundtrack for a beloved italian wild west film about a mysterious stranger, harmonica over orchestra with (baritone guitar) and abundant choirs".

(Yes there are new notes in there. I like them too, and it took a lot of tweaking numbers and specific words to get them to do that, but it will get easier and better soon!)

■Comment■
This is an arranged version of the Final Fantasy 4 main theme.
Similar to the arrangement of FF8's Laguna, I made bold and extensive changes from the original composition.
I felt relieved when I switched to HalionSonic because Nexus strings didn't quite fit the sound I wanted.
The original theme from the game played while roaming around for a long time in the field, trying to obtain summoning items like Goblins and Cockatrices.
I listened to it quite extensively during that time, so I didn't reference the original composition while working on this arrangement.
I apologize if there are any mistakes.
I hope you enjoy listening to it.

Bridges is my first single of 2018! I spent a lot of the end of 2017 trying to balance my life with music. I found it hard to make time for new song writing. Bridges was really my breakthrough, my bridge in between fitting music and my life :) Hope you like it! - Jam

Another low key and chill synth track.
