Shining Force (Sega Genesis) remains one of my most favorite RPGs of all time.

this is glorious man seriously impressive you're bringing a tear to my eye.

That little line there is sci-fi-ish. I like

Enjoying the callbacks to the original theme in this on later listens. Still super good!

listening to this track w/out looking:

30s - I like these instruments
1min- Ooh the echo is good
2min- Man this feels familiar...
3min-OMG SHINING FORCE!

Great job! 

As someone who knows almost nothing about Shining Force I still thought this song was awesome

Everyone's gotta hear something when they're choosing which stage to play. Here's what you'll hear when you ask yourself, "should I try to 100% Sakura CyberSpace today or Chatroom Bliss?"

Electric Frenzy OST - "Cyber Folk Song" - Stage Select

Did this last week and completely forgot to upload it! Oops.

First time I've done an SPC without any midi to mml conversion tools and I'm slowly getting more confident in the absolute ballache that is mml! Thanks to @harumi-makoto for helpful advice when making this and ValleyBell for his awesome smps2mid tool so I could have the original sequence data in a digestable form.

Six Seven

Pretty sure I never got to post these. Oh well, here you go! :D I did both stages for a friend! 
Freedom Planet is modeled after 32 bit SEGA Saturn games, but it's fun to think how a 16 bit version would have been.
This is the first one! For once, I actually tried to follow polyphony rules. Still failed!

Pangu Lagoon [A] (16 bit arrange)

Commissioned by user @Falkalore. The parameters of the project were thus: 
1) a piece that takes its inspiration from the soundtrack of Shining Force: The Legacy of Great Intention, particularly incorporating the motifs of the main theme by Masahiko Yoshimura
2) a piece that utilized the soundchips found in the Sega Genesis/MegaDrive, keeping true to the original works' limitations
3) a piece that, more than a mere "remix" takes inspiration but also goes beyond in telling its own story

Following these stipulations, this work tells a story in four parts:

Act 1: Gathering Storm ~ The March of Darkness
Act 2: The Arrival of the Shining Force, and the Raucous Joining of Battle, A Brief Reflection at What is At Stake
Act 3: The Enemy Regroups: A Desperate Counterattack
Act 4: The Shining Force Holds Firm, a Decisive Victory, Hope for the Future

The piece imagines a a scenario in which Max and his Company are called forth again to save the land of Rune (and the world) from the forces of darkness, who have risen again. A battle ensues, signalling the beginning of another epic tale of the Shining Force!

===

Above all, this piece of music has as its origin the dedication and confidence of Falkalore, who reached out to me to commission me to write a piece in the style of Shining Force. Being a fan of the games and eager to write a more orchestral-sounding piece, I eagerly agreed. He can take the most credit for getting my mind to push forward what I could personally do with FM instrumentation and arrangement. 

Secondly, this commission stands at a milestone for my profile, surpassing 25,000 plays from my tracks. Over the course of seven (!!!) years, it's been incredible to see my audience grow into the thousands from anonymous listeners, friends, dedicated followers, and more. The reason I write music is because of your support, vocalized or otherwise. I am truly thankful for all the feedback, compliments, and critiques I have received over the years, and am always striving to improve for both your and my sake, whether with FM synth chiptunes or with more conventional music. 

So please listen, share, comment, like, etc. But most importantly I hope you enjoy the track! 

Best and with Warm Regards to all my Fans, Friends, and Followers,

The mixing's off, and some of the stuff is a little weird, but I figured I should share something with you guys. It's been a while. D:
This is from my upcoming 80s album NightBridge, which continues the narrative from 2014's Planet Aloha (https://leilawilson.bandcamp.com/album/planet-aloha-complete) and 2016's Algoli 5 Oasis. ( https://leilawilson.bandcamp.com/album/agoli-5-oasis)
I have no idea when it will be done, so we'll see! Hopefully soon, but realistically, not 'til next year. Those familiar with me are probably well aware I've been 'secretly' uploading tracks from the album all year.

"What is Sonic Chroma and who are the talented and sexy people posting these beautiful things?" Chroma is an HD 2D Sonic fan-game based entirely around trying to jam as many new, experimental, and creative elements into one Sonic game as we can while keeping it as fun as possible. New elements you may see in gameplay include ideas that may be normally considered "taboo" for Sonic games, ideas that you may have never even heard or thought of, or ideas that you may have already thought of and dreamed to see in a Sonic game one day whether it's official or fanmade.

The people behind this project (that's us!!!) are a team of earnest, mostly college-faring people from all over the world who decided to get together to create, just like how every other team has aimed for, what we feel is the most fantastic and from-the-heart Sonic experience as we can.

What sets Chroma apart from the rest is that our goal is to combine a whole buffet of fresh or otherwise unseen ideas with the classic Sonic formula to carefully craft and bring you an HD hybrid game. Why only let you play unique levels, give you new art to gawk at and new music to listen to, when we could also give you an entirely unseen gameplay experience on top of all that? It's the logical next step, and we're proud of working to see it realized.

If you have any questions, want to contact us, or are just feeling even remotely bored, join our community discord server via the link above. We hope to see you there.

This is yet another track from Symphony of Hunted Truths, the second Elancia book/album combo. This song is for the secret, hidden thief city of Las Lunas. You have to know somebody to get in. The place is run by the mob, and full of all sorts of fun illegal stuff. Black market? Check. Illegal gambling? check! If you want it, you can probably find it here. You can also probably get whacked here if you go down the wrong alleyway... The city is located in a cave 'somewhere' within The Empire.

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'.
