Reminds me just a little bit of Station Square, but much more intense and faster.

Valis: The Fantasm Soldier was originally made for the Japanese NEC PC-8801 home computer in 1986, but I first saw it on an MSX. It has a cool soundtrack composed by Shinobu Ogawa, albeit somewhat limited by the sound hardware of the time. A few years later, I played the 1991 Mega Drive (Sega Genesis) remake, which has an awesome soundtrack and is the main inspiration of this arrangement, made for the Konami VRCVII (also known as VRC7) sound chip.

✦ ???: The ever-astounding Recvn Power, we all know it - rare abilities that can be obtained through drinking a substance known as a 'Recvn Liquid' ah, yes. 
✦ ???: Based off of the different kind of trees the liquid comes from, each individual substance gives a different power! That's amazing, you know?
✦ ???: But in recent years a new sort of power was introduced, a power that isn't just willfully obtainable...
✦ ???: We call it... A 'Sentinel'! It seems to be a culmination of ones emotions, mindset and soul.
✦ ???: Every person to be born with a Sentinel has had a different power, their very own ability!

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 stage 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.

I went with a Sonic CD vibe for this one, with emphasis on clouds and rain.

This is the first Tails stage, and the "Green _______" trope zone. The music is homage to Richard Jacques and his amazing work with 3D Blast Saturn which I feel helped define the game more than the original Genesis soundtrack. I definitely had a lot of fun working on this one.

Act 2 of the first 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.

In many ways Rivulets (Hilltop Heights Act 1 music) is iconic of Before the Sequel as a whole - It's the first piece of music (other than the title screen) that people will hear, and it sets the mood of the game as 'something wildly different from the typical Sonic experience' (as opposed to starting with a Green ____ trope for example).

For Act 2, I decided to retain a lot of familiarity with Act 1's music. I think this should help that feeling of 'a new adventure' to fully sink in, while at the same time building up the intensity level.

p.s. This track has arguably the most recognizable Sonic music cameo so far out of all the stuff I've done for BTS. :V

Downpour - For Hilltop Heights Act 2

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=92s47PQNw8Y

Act 3 of the first 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.

If Rivulets (Act 1 music) was characteristic of Before the Sequel as a whole, and Downpour (Act 2 music) built on it, this track would be a step towards building expectations for the OST in general. I wanted to, early on, expose players to the full range of genres that could be represented in the soundtrack and dissuade any preconceptions on what a 'retro'-style game had to sound like. Sonic CD was 1992 and its two OSTs fit so well with the game despite it being 224p 16-bit fare.

This was an interesting track to work with. I discovered halfway through working with Act 2's music that the rap I was working with actually mentioned "Rainbows" and "Prisms"- a fact that I didn't know when I was just using its chorus "Feel the Beat" section for Act 1. It worked alongside the orchestral-ish rendition perfectly for Act 3's lighter mood. Kinda funny how things turn out.. ;p Despite the rain being gone, I still get a very chilly vibe from the overall zone coloration (nevermind that it's really Hilltop Zone tiles in the foreground). Hopefully the music conveys that well.

I also threw in Green Hill again like I did with Act 2, except as a feature rather than a hidden easter egg. Musical quotes from Sonic music is going to be another staple for this OST, as it really is my homage to the franchise in general.

Prismatic - For Hilltop Heights Act 3

Rolling Out - For Hilltop Heights Boss Act

Writing the music for Tails' first boss was quite thought provocative. There were quite a few things to consider.

The first is the fact that unlike Sonic, Tails is completely new at this. It's the first real hint of serious adversity in his new adventure. 

The second is that, like the next Tails boss, (which is a pure Rotatatron homage; we're keeping the track from Colors for that boss, even - the entire zone is a series of homages) this boss involves some rotating mechanics. Lake and I decided really early on that dance music would work really well as a 'leitmotif' for the unique badnik that Tails repeatedly faces off for his bosses, the way Sonic's battles with Eggman all borrow from speed-heavy genres. I needed to build up an expectation for Tails' boss music in general.

With that in mind, this short-ish piece is actually two themes. The first is House-ish, rotary, simplistic, all elements which represent the boss. The second half is a retro, Saturn-ish trailblazing theme, with a somewhat awkward trumpet taking the lead. New at this, it's still unsteady and unsure, but it's going to try its best regardless. This section represents Tails, as he sets off on his new adventure pursuing Sonic.

Right?
