This is an arrangement by myself and my bassist friend Wild_Cat, featuring 4 themes chosen from the Gunstar Heroes (Sega Genesis) soundtrack, originally composed by Norio Hanzawa for Treasure : "The End of Battle - To Out World", "Last Party on the Moon", "Empire - The Final Assault" and finally "The Legend of Gunstars".

I put this song together in celebration of the 10th Anniversary of the Dwelling Of Duels, in October 2013, hence the reference in the title. It scored 3rd place, within an amazing bunch of 53 entries, that was a memorable event, and Wild_Cat and I are proud that we could be part of it.

The entire arrangement is a tribute to 10 years of live video game music celebration (I for myself have been a regular entrant for 9 years), filled with hard work and fun. From the very core, it's designed to tell, in a very embellished way, what happens in one given occurrence of this contest.

Part 1 - 0:00 : Unknown musicians from all over the world gather in a single place.
Part 2 - 1:55 : Together, they celebrate video game music, and have a lot of fun playing it live.
Part 3 - 3:51 : But it soon turns into epic battle, because these people are very strong at what they do.
Part 4 - 5:25 : In the aftermath, they congratulate each other, and leave behind them amazing music for all to enjoy.

Fixer Daily Drops 1081–1090

This sequence of ten daily releases marks the final chapter before Vol. 110: Synthetic Music Back from Vacation. Each drop explores a fragment of the synthetic sound universe — from shimmering atmospheres to driving trance pulses. Together, they form a continuous arc: fragmented echoes (1081) evolving through digital storms (1088) and closing with an Exit Sequence (1090).

These tracks are not just singles; they’re snapshots of a system in constant motion. Each one holds its own identity, but when lined up side-by-side, they reveal a journey — an experimental passage through the synthetic landscape that defines the Fixer ethos: 50% human, 50% machine, always forward-moving.

"Sequence Breaker is my personal love letter to the Metroid series, encapsulating the wonderment inspired by the striking beauty of the games' environments and introspective storytelling.  The soundscapes in each track were chosen-- and often created from scratch-- to heavily emulate the music from Metroid Prime, my favorite game in the series, while keeping each piece unique to me as a composer.  Every melody, chord progression, and percussive hit was crafted with a deep love, and I truly hope you enjoy this impassioned tribute to an amazing series as much as I enjoyed creating it! 

Each original composition was inspired by specific pieces, moments, environments, or characters in the Metroid series.  Some are fairly overt, others less so.  Since creating a consistent and enveloping atmosphere is so crucial to the series' emotional conveyance, each track was designed with the same sense of sentient world-building.  My goal was to enable the listener to create their own narrative as the album progresses, walking through familiar worlds or exploring new ones in their mind's eye. 

Above all else, this release is a gift to Metroid fans everywhere, including myself.  Please enjoy the first installment of what will assuredly be an ongoing project, with many more releases in the future!"
