Miruka Town is a song I was inspired to create while jammin' on my saxaphone for a bit. The original idea for the melody was originally quite different...

Mountain Story would be a sequel to the critically-acclaimed Cave Story. It would feature a new storyline with new characters set in an entirely different location. Many of the same races and themes of the first game would carry over, along with it's graphical and musical style.

Miruka Town is a peaceful song that would play in the village of the Mirukas, the brightly-colored bird-like race you see on the right of the album art. I'm very proud with how this turned out, as it's also the first song I've created that uses panning!

A short tune I composed a while ago, I hesitated submitting this because I couldn't think of a good loop, but decided just to post anyways since I'm quite proud of this. Improving with every song! ^.^

Another song for a personal project called Mountain Story. The first few notes of this song had been sitting around on my hard drive for a while, so I decided recently to open it back up and give it another shot. Personally, I'm very proud of how well this came out. It's not quite up to Cave Story standards, but it's pretty close.

Haze Desert is a bitter, foreboding location in Mountain Story, and the first that you encounter. The entire area is filled with rogue robots which you'll have to smash to pieces to cross.

My second ever song in Famitracker! I wanted to challenge myself with my second song by remixing a particularly technical tune from Pokemon Battle Revolution. I'm pretty happy with how the effects on this came out.

The first song I composed for my Mother 25th Anniversary project. I had to reupload this because I wasn't happy at all with the instruments in the older version. The new ones are much more balanced and sound closer to real instruments.

My first original tune completed in Famitracker. I had a lot of previous experience composing, but this was the first time I went for composing an 8-bit melody myself. This song was a slow, melodic tune made for a fictional Spelunky clone.

I've always loved the music of Maurice Ravel. He always composed such powerful tunes, with Bolero being no exception. And did you know that Koji Kondo once considered using this song as the theme for the Zelda series? Just imagine!

A bit cliche, I know, but I couldn't resist remixing this tune for my Mother 25th Anniversary Project. And this is the Mother version, not the Earthbound version! There wasn't a lot I could do here except add in a guitar part and lower the baseline an octave or two. Nevertheless, I was surprised at how much room for improvement there was.

Known by fans as "Battle Against a Flippant Foe", this was always one of my favorite songs from Earthbound Zero. This jazzy tune for my Mother 25th Anniversary project added a few measures and a countermelody to embellish the song a bit. It's odd how the original composers never took the opportunity to add stuff like this. It's not like the space limitations were THAT small...

It's odd how the fourth song I composed for my Mother 25th Anniversary Project was actually the first song that played in the game. Really, there wasn't a lot I could do here beyond changing a few instruments and adding a few effects. But that's OK, because the song's simplicity is what made it so memorable.

[NES] Introduction

My goal for this piece was something slower and more drawn-out that would be suitable for being in an area for a long time. I created this for a roguelike project which never came to fruition.

Hello! My name is Platino and I specialize in chiptunes. I use OpenMPT for my SNES music and Famitracker for my 8-bit chiptunes. I have played music for 6 years and been composing it for 2 years. I don't see myself as that great of a musician but I'm getting there...
