Here is a jam on the Onnett Theme, covered by SMES from the game, Earthbound. What a game! By the composers Keiichi Suzuki, Hirokazu Tanaka, Hiroshi Kanazu, Toshiyuki Ueno. What great guys!

Onett Theme (Jazz Cover)

Music from the January 2014 trailer for SHOVEL KNIGHT
(yachtclubgames.com)

I included the choir-only part in case you want to get extra hyped and sing along or even remix it.

As a special treat, I have included a preview of the Clockwork Tower level's BGM (Tinker Knight's lair!) As with the rest of the 40+ track OST, it is fully hardware-compatible 2A03 + VRC6 data, meaning I will release an NSF file which you can play directly on an unmodified Famicom console (or a modified American / European NES.)

The full soundtrack will be available at virt.bandcamp.com, mastered through the same processing chain as FX3 and FX4, for maximum car or headphone listening enjoyment.

Ubiktune: http://ubiktune.com/releases/ubi065-diad-diad
Bandcamp: http://ubiktune.bandcamp.com/album/diad

“Diad" will guide you through the spiritual graveyard, transcending both time and space. Set in the 1930s, Dimension-Reversing Dualities takes you on a journey within the life of a depressed suicidal housewife and the outcome of her untimely death. 

Heosphoros aka François Martin is from Moncton, New-Brunswick, Canada. He is already known for his parts in Ubiktune compilation albums, such as “Up” and “Noisechan & Nugget: Adventures in Chiptunes”. Being a fan of various genres, he focuses on progressive and metal elements in his compositions. Heosphoros has been composing NES music for over 8 years for now and “Diad” is his third album effort, continuing the path of previously released original “Embered Recollections” and collection of covers on “Beneath The Skin”. 

Tadpole is Joel Barker, from Bellevue, Washington, USA. He has been composing chipmusic over the last 10 years. Known for his trademark clear, relaxing and very detailed sound, Tadpole was able to branch out and unite it with shaking metal-inspired elements, provided by Heosphoros. This project is his first dedicated-album release to date.

I recorded this acoustic version of Rose's theme for the end of Story for Steven! (It's a little hard to hear in the episode mix which just has the rhythm guitar beneath the dialogue.)

Rose's Theme Acoustic

Velocity
by Stig

Ubiktune: http://ubiktune.com/releases/ubi081-stig-velocity
Bandcamp: https://stigmusic.bandcamp.com/album/velocity

"Velocity" is the first Stig solo release since 2013’s ambient work "Hydrocycle". A single album length composition in two parts, Velocity is not about speed, it is about movement and displacement.

The music moves through a number of styles and forms, blending classic game sounds with prog rock, fusion and electronic dance music, developing and evolving as it moves forward, only looking back to realize how far it has come.

It plays out as one big cinematic night time adventure in the city, with music that takes you through nightclubs, city streets,
motorways and busy plazas, where the city is defined and laid out before you but the journey is yours and yours alone as a listener.

This is music intended with the scope of a video game, a world for you to exist in and make your own, but set in the real world, an adventure for your ears within the great adventure that is your life.

A purely electronic work diligently programmed one note at a time, setting the classic chipsounds of the MOS Technology SID and YM2612 against the vintage electronic drums of the Roland TR-909 and a contemporary rock and dance sound, Velocity is not merely nostalgia, but music truly for 2015 and for everyone who has grown up in the classic era of gaming.

VELOCITY is the 28th chapter of Stig and his first for
Ubiktune.

Bandcamp: http://zantilla.bandcamp.com/album/star-bride

About a year and a half has passed since @Zantilla's (Adrian Shegstad) Ubiktune debut album "Encounters" was out, and now we're glad to preset for you his next full-length called "Star Bride".

"Star Bride" is funk heavy tribute to Adrian's significant other. It combines early and modern funk influences into a non-stop groovin' chiptune ride. As Adrian himself says, "in other words, it's a motherfunkin' riot".

"K.K. Cruisin' (Interstate 5)"
aivi & surasshu
originally composed by Kazumi Totaka
from the game Animal Crossing

aivisura liner notes:

- We love Totaka!
- We worked on this remix in between projects for a year.
- When we lived in separate countries, we played Animal Crossing: New Leaf together all the time, and went to K.K. Slider concerts on Saturdays. We requested "K.K. Cruisin'" every time.
- We started this remix in an attempt to answer the question, "Why is K.K. Cruisin' so great?" After listening to it and studying it, we determined that, for us, the heart of the song was its groove. The same five chords repeat throughout the entire song (five extremely creative chords--Mr. Totaka is always a step ahead of us all), and it never changes in rhythm or energy level. We used that concept as the main inspiration for our arrangement, where instead of ramping up the energy for the chorus like we'd normally do, we pulled back and settled into a comfortable groove. Keeping "still" was a big exercise in confidence for both of us.
- We named our remix after the road trips we'd take together down I-5, between San Francisco and LA. Those trips felt like mini-vacations for us (though we still worked on the road and in our hotel room) and making this song has been a mini-vacation for us, too.

Animal Crossing - K.K. Cruisin' (Interstate 5)

My S.O. had a joint concert coming up, between a brass quintet and a sax quintet... I was asked to write something for both of them, so I did a quick arrangement of one of my favorite tunes from one of my favorite chiptune artists.

Sheet music: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1UTUw3XgARFCKYYlsk_SrSv1pzytqN_BK/view

For barely getting any practice time (some hadn't seen the piece prior to this recording), I'm happy with how quick they picked it up. I just wanted them to have a fun tune to go out with, and it seems like they all enjoyed it :)
