beatnik 2: battle on boogiedon

music, album cover: @narek_ps

♪♪♪乁( ◕_◕乁)

After half a year of VGM covers and experimental chiptunes, I decided to bring back FamiTastik and gauge my learnings during these months. Following the spirit of Vol.1, FamiTastik Vol.2 is a collection of stories yet untold and sceneries yet unseen narrated through videogame music.

Thank you all who have supported me and my music during these times. (◕‿◕｡)

~~~~~~~~~~~~

~Is this the beginning of a long journey with FamiTastik? Who knows, we'll see.~

Music made entirely with Dn-FamiTracker using the VRC6 expansion chip (without using any samples in the DPCM channel) and no post-processing whatsoever, apart from some gentle volume leveling and limiting. The .nsf file containing all of the compiled tracks is included with the album.

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"

Piccolo has always been my favorite character in Dragon Ball Z, so it was only a matter of time before I remixed his theme from the Funimation Dub :).  Oddly enough, I grabbed a rad line of his from the Kai version for the intro but it just seemed to fit. The main riff of this song is based off of this.  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l_2BSHbv3SY Tweaked a bit and added a Jredd spin to it. Enjoy :).

total request

earlier this years i was contacted by the good people at vast error asking if i wanted to do some tracks for their friendsim-esque game and it sounded fun so hell yeah i did it.

this has my favorite sound in the world, the mouth harp. you play the mouth harp by putting a springy metal thing on your teeth and twanging it towards your mouth and hoping you dont smack yourself in the incisors. yes that is really how you play this instrument.

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!

This was very difficult to do. I had to improvise a lot of it; drums especially. This should at least give you an idea of what this theme could have sounded like. No idea if this was supposed to be 10 AM, or some sort of early prologue music.

Here's the 2nd rip I got on SiIva! I managed to get this during the Panty & Stocking event and I got to say that I'm really happy I got a genuinely serious mashup on the channel with no memes & nothing with Mario either since that's most of the rips I got on the channel. Nothing else to say other than enjoy!

An aspiring musician, historian, composer, and all-around nice guy, ec's tunes will make you slam with the best, and if failing that, jam with the rest.

I first played piano since when I was 5 years old, and started composing soon after that. I write in a variety of styles, from electronic to chiptune, jazz/funk, ambient, romantic, and more! 

Comments and constructive criticism are always welcome.

Enjoy; now get back to the slammin' and the jammin'.
