Artist comments:
""In the middle of the night, lightened by the bright moon, the thief tries to steal the rare Selenium mineral; but the alarm goes off! The chase is on."

This is my first track for PSG Cabal, and honestly I'm really happy with how it turned out!
The song, made in Famitracker (and using the VRC6 module), is my first attempt at composing a "chiptune rhapsody", and it's directly inspired by the chemical element n. 34, Selenium. For example, the theme and focus of the song is the Moon, which is associated with Selenium's name; while the use of a 7/4 time signature comes from adding up the digits of Selenium's atomic number, 3 + 4.

I had a ton of fun composing this, I hope you'll have fun listening to it too! Thanks to y'all and PSG Cabal for the opportunity. <3"

cat factory deluxe

HI!!! This is my track for the SUPER SLIME ARENA OST!!! It's for the factory stage, so a lot of the instruments used are to complement that!!

The game is not released yet, but you can follow the dev team on twitter for updates!! It won some awards at cons already (like getting Best Indie Booth at Otakon) so it's shaping up to look like a REAL FUN EXPERIENCE!!

Here's the game's Twitter: https://twitter.com/SuperSlimeArena

Thanks!!

Slime Sounds - Super Slime Arena OST

Metally Slime Melody (Factory Stage) - Super Slime Arena

made this for @kayfaraday's PIT BOSS competition!! i only had 24 hours to write a song so i was stressing out a lot lol

the theme was to write a song that has a melody contain all notes in a given key (so for example if u write in C maj u need C D E F G A B C in the melody) and to write a song about dungeon exploring.

THANKS!!!

Thought it'd be fun to make it sound vaguely like a Sega-developed thing.

Mercury Meltdown! Another one of my favorite games, right from my childhood, with a SPECTACULAR soundtrack I'm still impressed by after all these years. Because of this, and because the game is pretty darn underrated and/or unknown, I felt the need, in my smallness, to give it at least SOME of the exposure it truly deserves.
I hope someone out there will eventually make a Mercury Meltdown sequel or remake, because to me it honestly looks like a pretty interesting and unique concept, fun to play, and also very challenging at times.

The FamiTracker project is also available for download, if you wanna take a look at how it works!

This is my first VRC6 track! Not gonna lie, I'm pretty satisfied with how it turned out. The instrumentation in the original song translated pretty well in the chiptune genre, and with the help of some instrument juggling (using more than 1 voice in a single channel), I think I gave some justice to the piano lead's rhythm complexity; you be the judge.

This time, I also created an animation for the song, all on my own, obviously by taking inspiration from the game, and then re-creating, texturing and adapting the sprites (and the mercury ball model) to be in "8-bit" style. It took some time, but I'm pretty sure it was worth the wait. The animation doesn't follow NES' or other consoles' standards, but I tried my best to make it as close as possible to the "8-bit"/pixel art style. I hope you like it!
By any means, feel free to let me know what you think about it (you can be honest). I've always been fascinated by the world of animations and pixel art, as well as any visual arts really. There are some really really talented artists out there. If I can, I'd really love to create more stuff like this in the future.

Thank you so much for listening, and for the support and the lovely feedback you gave to me so far.
I hope my music can help you all feel better, overcome obstacles, and just have a good time. Take care, see ya soon!
