Arrangement and Mixing by Chris Porter 

Based on “Institute Menu” from Perfect Dark, Composed by Grant Kirkhope

“I was one of those unfortunate kids that didn’t own an N64 growing up (I had saved up all of my allowance for a Playstation and just couldn’t afford both). Luckily, I had plenty of friends who did and I have many fond memories of playing it. The N64 is unique for me in this sense because it was almost exclusively a multiplayer experience. While I spent countless hours alone in my room playing through sprawling single-player experiences on my PS, if I was playing the N64 I was always playing it with friends. Rampage World Tour, Mario Kart 64, WCW vs nWo, Goldeneye, Perfect Dark, and countless other games kept me and my friends entertained for hours. I’m sure many of you listening to this album have similarly fond memories of multiplayer gaming on this fantastic console. As a tribute to those memories, I decided to arrange the iconic ‘Institute Menu’ from Perfect Dark. I hope you enjoy it!”

Yasunori Mitsuda's soundtrack for the 2008 Nintendo DS game "Soma Bringer" is easily one of my favorite game soundtracks of all time. A couple of years ago I arranged the track "Village of Snow" from Soma Bringer for a remix album called Super VG Christmas Party. I decided to revisit Soma Bringer just for fun and try my hand at arranging another track from the game. This time I chose "Relic of Ancient Times", which coincidentally appears on the soundtrack right after "Village of Snow".

For this arrangement I basically just went for a one to one copy of the original, listening closely and trying to get every note correct, and orchestrating it for much better sounding instruments than the Nintendo DS could handle. Hopefully you enjoy it! If you aren't familiar with the original soundtrack, I highly recommend listening to the whole thing. It's one of Mitsuda's often overlooked masterpieces!

光田康典さんが作曲した２００８年に発売されたRPG『ソーマブリンガー』はゲームサントラの中で最も好きな一つです。そのサントラからの「太古の遺物」という曲を私はアレンジしてみました。オリジナルの曲を傾聴しながら、あまり変わらずに編曲しました（光田さんの曲はすでに完璧だからね）。どうぞ聞いてみてください！光田さん、いつも素晴らしい音楽を作ってくださってありがとうございます！

"Wash Away My Sins" is my submission to the ADAM Audio Soundtrack Competition. We were asked to compose a short (no more than 30 seconds) piece for a given image (see link below), being sure to focus on giving the piece an elaborated stereo image.

Tavern (from ZODIAC: Final Fantasy Tactics Remixed)

"Falkner Town" by Chris Porter

From the RPG video game Story of the End - Revere.

Falkner Town

"Eastward Advance"

A desert caravan moves ever Eastward. What lies in store for them on their journey? 

I got my hands on Eduardo Tarilonte's Ancient ERA Persia virtual instrument library and couldn't wait to dive in. I wrote and mixed this track over the course of one night and one morning. Since I really wanted to get a feel for this new library, I used only instruments from Ancient ERA Persia.

Eastward Advance

A short piece for small string orchestra, timpani, tambourine, and shaker. Ideal for an RPG setting, when writing this, I imagined a busy town square on a sunny afternoon, filled with folks gathered from all around the city. I wanted to convey in the music both the playfulness and carefree nature of the residents, as well as the beauty of the rustic area (that I was imagining in my head).

This is my first attempt at writing a track using only sounds from the original 8bit NES! I imagined this being used as a high energy battle track in an RPG. Enjoy!

Glass Marble

I wrote this track to try to get out of my comfort zone a bit. The track mainly focuses on various pitched percussion (including Indonesian gamelan), as well as lots of dirty synths and basses. Also, a first for me, this track features original vocals by Mason Lieberman. I was thrilled with how they turned out!

Kelmleda

I used an eclectic set of Celtic (harp, whistle, low whistle, bodhran), Nordic (psaltery), Swedish (nyckelharpa), African (kalimba), and traditional orchestral  instruments (string ensemble) to create a short musical fairy tale in three parts. I hope you enjoy!

A Gnome's Journey

In the summer of 2017 I had an opportunity to possibly write some music for a Japanese company that manufactured prosthetics and other such goods. In order to show them what I was capable of, I decided to rescore one of their commercials with my own music. I don't have permission to upload that video, but seeing as it has gone unheard for over a year, I wanted to share the music I wrote. 

I didn't end up doing any work for that company, but it was a fun experience and I got to try composing something in a very different style than I normally write.

Face the Day

A little while ago I was in my local Book Off and stumbled upon a soundtrack to a video game called Sword Dancer (which was released in 1994 in Japan for the NEC PC-98). It was on the bargain shelf for the equivalent of about $5. Curiosity got the best of me and I picked it up knowing nothing about the game or the music. 

After listening to it I can promise you it was well worth the measly $5. The soundtrack was composed by Yuko Anzai and it is filled with wonderful music. However, the second track on the disc, titled "Suzaku's Village", really grabbed my attention. It is such a simple piece, but absolutely beautiful, with a stunning melody. 

Since it seems this game and soundtrack are so obscure that no one has even uploaded it online anywhere, I decided to arrange "Suzaku's Village" myself so that everyone can at least hear this one track. I tried to recreate the original track note for note, and I think I'm at least 95% there. Obviously the instrument samples are different, but I tried to choose ones that matched the overall timbre in the original, though my version inevitably sounds more modern. 

I hope you enjoy this beautiful piece of music!

Suzaku's Village Arrangement (from Sword Dancer)

This is my first original work in almost half a year. A lot of bad things have been happening in the world. I wanted to compose something that encapsulates the pain and sorrow we feel, but also provides a glimmer of hope that we can make it out of this, and be stronger in the end.

Healing (for solo piano)

In 2004, the legendary composer Ryu Umemoto* (YU-NO, EVE Burst Error, AKAI KATANA) composed the soundtrack to a flash-based comic series called Guillian Rader. Track # 3, titled 「徘徊～一人では見つけ出せぬ物。答えのない物～」, which I've translated and abbreviated to "Loitering", is one of my favorites! Since this soundtrack isn't widely known, I wanted to share it by trying to more or less recreate the track myself. While I wasn't able to perfectly replicate the tone of all the instruments (the bass guitar being especially difficult since the timbre and playing style in the original is so unique), I'm overall happy with how it came out. 

Any discrepancies in notes between the original and my version are my fault. I figured everything out by ear so there may be a mistake or two. 

If you enjoy this track, I highly encourage you to check out the original soundtrack. It's available digitally here: http://www.amusement-center.com/project/emusic/cgi/eggmusic_catalog-detail.cgi?product_id=2027

*Umemoto used the pseudonym Minami Ohga on this soundtrack.
