Journey Temptation [Dynamix Submission 2023] - Gaetto

Pac-Man World 2 was one of my most precious childhood memories; I particulary remember the soundtrack, which is undoubtly outstanding. I replayed the game, recently, and re-discovered how much of a great game it is.
So I decided to put my time and effort into making a remix of one of the tracks from the game... Since it's Halloween, I decided to remix "Spooky", the final boss' theme.

I hope you like it! Happy Halloween! :D

Pac-Man World 2 - Spooky (Gaetano's Remix)

Heya! Long time no see, huh? I'm finally back :D
I've decided to turn Rainbow Traveler into the first track of my first EP, called (obviously) "Rainbow Traveler EP". ^_^
I hope you like it, it's a collection of chiptunes I've done during these looooong months, and I think it's finally time for the world to see them!
A lot of time has passed since the last track I published... it all became a slow process, because I've been dealing with depression and creative block.

...speaking of which, here's a track made by my pal Fluxton, his latest track, which fits perfectly to what I've been through!

UnfathomD [2A03] - Gaetano De Paola

"Rhythm of the heart." ;)
WATCH THE ANIMATION HERE: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U3WcP2Dx0W4

Mercury Meltdown! Another one of my favorite games, right from my childhood, with a SPECTACULAR soundtrack I'm still impressed by after all these years. Because of this, and because the game is pretty darn underrated and/or unknown, I felt the need, in my smallness, to give it at least SOME of the exposure it truly deserves.
I hope someone out there will eventually make a Mercury Meltdown sequel or remake, because to me it honestly looks like a pretty interesting and unique concept, fun to play, and also very challenging at times.

The FamiTracker project is also available for download, if you wanna take a look at how it works!

This is my first VRC6 track! Not gonna lie, I'm pretty satisfied with how it turned out. The instrumentation in the original song translated pretty well in the chiptune genre, and with the help of some instrument juggling (using more than 1 voice in a single channel), I think I gave some justice to the piano lead's rhythm complexity; you be the judge.

This time, I also created an animation for the song, all on my own, obviously by taking inspiration from the game, and then re-creating, texturing and adapting the sprites (and the mercury ball model) to be in "8-bit" style. It took some time, but I'm pretty sure it was worth the wait. The animation doesn't follow NES' or other consoles' standards, but I tried my best to make it as close as possible to the "8-bit"/pixel art style. I hope you like it!
By any means, feel free to let me know what you think about it (you can be honest). I've always been fascinated by the world of animations and pixel art, as well as any visual arts really. There are some really really talented artists out there. If I can, I'd really love to create more stuff like this in the future.

Thank you so much for listening, and for the support and the lovely feedback you gave to me so far.
I hope my music can help you all feel better, overcome obstacles, and just have a good time. Take care, see ya soon!
