If the influence isn't clear, I've been listening to a lot of Drum & Bass and chiptune lately :P I had a ton of fun making the synths for this, it's my first time playing around with a lot of the gameboy/NES soundchip emulator plugins. Most of the sounds were created using those plugins, with the exception of the snare sample that comes in later and one of the kicks. Would like to do a lot more with the "drop" and during the main riff, as well as make it generally a lot longer.

Also, thanks to "The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past" for the inspiration for what basically became the made synth.

Honeycrisp - Maya Connell (remix)

Prepared for OST Comp Jam #7 on itch.io (https://itch.io/jam/ost-composing-jam-7).  The goal is to create a fake video game OST inspired by the prompt (a line of text or, in this case, the image shown here - artist credit @kawaakar._)

I misunderstood the submission guidelines and so instead of a playlist, I just prepared a single file.  There are 6 "tracks":

1) Welcome to Mari's World
2) Reclaim
3) Sweat and Tears
4) Oh Am I Not What You Expected?
5) To Terms
6) Isn't What Drives Most People Childish?

Inevitable list of things I only realize that I would change now that the jam is over:

- A more audible and catchy motif for (3)
- A more upbeat section between (3) and (4) to set up what is meant to be an emotional fall
- A more resolved ending to (5) to more clearly establish that the narrative has taken a positive turn before the unabashedly-uplifting ending
- A more obvious call-back in (6) to the motif from (1) and a more gradual introduction to synthetic sound elements

The FL project used a fair bit of Kontakt sample-based instrumentation (guitar, bass, kit drums, Eastern drums, choir) and then a few Flex-based sounds
