Sonic Advance 2 - Music Plant Act 1 (Reimagined)

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HEvtUbNho_4

Music for the third Zone of this awesome fangame. It's out and you can play it now*; we're making a 2012 special edition with an original score for SAGE 2012.

Since Rock is in the zone name, I had the amazing epiphany to add rock elements to traditional blues, extend the basic 12 bar format and call it Purples. I AM YENIUS!

The guitar solo way in the back halfway through was done by Ian Charlie Chong who was just chilling at my place a few days before he packed up for LA. Was just a jam that I managed to get on disk.

First act of the Final Zone of Sonic Before The Sequel, an awesome fangame. It's out and you can play it now*; we're making a 2012 special edition with an original score for SAGE 2012.

We're talking about a giant mechanical balloon filled with gadgets and electricity and stuff. That can only mean one thing: Trance out the nose.

Stratospheric Synergy - For Arcane Altitude Act 1

1 - 20 Evening Dreamscape Pt2 - For Sunset Star Act 3

This may be the biggest departure from the original music in the entire revamped soundtrack. There are two things going on here: 

The first is that I wanted to score the 'Lost' part of 'Lost Levels'. It needed something mysterious and perhaps somewhat foreboding. Lost Levels are a tribute to all the stuff that never made it into official releases yet had assets leftover in one game or another. If the fan-canon here is anything to go by (including the zone name) it's something not many people have visited, abundance of badniks aside.

The second is that like I said in the Hilltop Heights music description, with this soundtrack I really wanted to obliterate the usual preconceptions of what a 'retro' and 'sonic' game should sound like musically. It's obviously not 16-bit/YM2612 and perhaps a little more 'modern' than the typical 'Redbook Audio' game of the early 90's.

While technology may have been half of the mold I wanted to break out of, the other half would be... 2D Sonic in general. Don't get me wrong, All of S1/S2/S3&K had awesome soundtracks for slightly different reasons, but there's also just so much more that can be done. Take Sonic Adventure's Mystic Ruins for example. Without the visual association the first thing that comes to mind might not be 'Sonic', at all!

There's also that little tidbit in the form of S2's Hidden Palace unused track. It... doesn't sound anything like a sidescroller Sonic composition, especially when you compare it to the extremely trippy/catchy rhythms and hooks of S3&K. In fact, if you chucked it into RPGMaker or some such it really wouldn't be all that of a stretch to expect a Final Fantasy style random encounter and then battle music out of the blue. That was something I really, -really- wanted to explore, and I think overall it works!

Or maybe that Hidden Palace track went unused for a reason. Or maybe I'm just scratching a JRPG itch. You decide. ;p
