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.

Rivulets - For Hilltop Heights Act 1

Here is my take of Chrome Gadget Zone using both SPSG & FM Drive thanks to Aly James! The best ones out there for Mega Drive music

Chrome Gadget Zone (FM Drive + SPSG Remake)

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g7Z9whouusI

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

3) Added some horns
4) Suddenly Grandia
5) fffffffffffffffffffffffffff :(

Before the Sequel - Title Screen

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.

Metro Madness Act 1

Written for Metro Madness Zone Act 2 of Sonic Before the Sequel.

Progressive House tempo with a hybrid of electro house and funky disco house.. I guess all major House genres are crammed into this 90 second loop.

Metro Madness Act 2

Written for Metro Madness Boss of Sonic Before The Sequel.

For the boss, had to take it to Techno. Square wave acid lines, jazz funk chords drenched all over, pizzicato violin B section sampling, we're going everywhere and nowhere in 60 seconds.

Metro Madness Boss

Unapologetically funky.

Written for Tech Tree Act 1 of Sonic ATS.

This was a fun remix to do. Also, it's been a long while since I've went back and done Sonic 2 stuff too. The older remixes may have been great for its time, but it's 2020 now. Time to spice things up a notch.

Enjoy!
