Recorded from the 3.5mm output of my PAL Mega Drive model 1, board revision VA6.

The flash cart was a great investment. Something about the way the real hardware handles sustains helps things to mesh more. And, of course, LADDER EFFEEEEEEEEEECT~

There are a few mistakes, but for the most part I'm very happy with how this turned out. I'll probably be coming back to this to extend it in the future.

Black Hole Sun ~ YM2612 BURNING HEART ver.

In light of another Metal Gear game making the rounds, I decided to cover one of my favourite tracks from the series. I didn't really have any theme in mind - just started with the main hook and rolled with it.

At this point, Metal Gear's future is cloudy. But regardless of what happens, I'll always remember it fondly.

Zanzibar Land Forever.

[COVER] LEVEL 1 WARNING ~Heavy Viper Arrange~ (Metal Gear 2: Solid Snake)

Test-driving the new RYM2612 RE, a YM2612 emulation for Reason. Uses nothing but RYM2612 and stock Reason devices.

It's pretty good!

Cyberdrake Assault (RYM2612)

RHETORIROCKER

A banger about a bugger-off huge space dragon.

Xyithitix, the Nebulaswarm

A change of pace.

This track is featured on the Fourth Modulator's "PCMoff" collab album alongside work from other great chip artists! Check it out here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gYijIn2baQM

The Dreaming Stray [YM2612+PSG]

A quick and nasty arrange of the best Thunder Force theme.

TAN TAN TA TA TA TAN [VIPER ARRANGE]

An arrangement of one of my favourite tracks from "XENON ~ Mugen no Shitai/XENON -夢幻の肢体-."

Composer: Ryu Umemoto (梅本 竜)

"RANPHAR-1" - Ryu Umemoto [VIPER ARRANGE]

An arrangement of a piece from "Libros de Chilam Balam," a PC-98 RPG with a wild west setting. My first real effort implementing orchestral instrumentation into a piece.

Composer: Tadashi Sawashita (澤下 禎)

Appreciation to AccelJoe and their YT channel, for bringing this gem to my attention and inspiring this arrangement: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BeWvTOt3wLc

"D_058" - Tadashi Sawashita [VIPER ARRANGE]

A little sketch I've had bouncing around in my head for a while, probably after playing a bit of recent Personas. It may turn into something down the line.

TakeYourTime (jam)

An experiment. No chip or voice restrictions were followed, aside from FM+PSG only.

Made entirely with Propellerhead PX7 and Ochen K's Chip64 in Reason 10.

Sunrise@RK9

A small collection of sound effects I've created, primarily from "Zenodyne R" and "Jet Buster." All sounds created exclusively with FM synthesis.

[SFX DEMO] "Shmup/STG" Reel (compiled Sept. 2018)

A selection of sounds created for the video pinball game "DEMON'S TILT." A combination of FM synthesis and samples were used in combination with signal processing in order to emulate the heavily compressed audio of arcade and pinball games.

[SFX DEMO] "DEMON'S TILT" Reel (compiled Oct. 2018)

Sound effects created for RISO PONG, an entry in the #4 FEMICOM Game Jam. Softer synths and classic samplers were used to create sounds that would compliment the "Memphis" aesthetic.

A little something to celebrate Deltarune, and to reacquaint myself with tracker workflow.

Best of luck with the game, Toby.

YOUR POWER ~ VPR ARRANGE (Deltarune)

Stage 7 BGM from "ZENODEATH" by Team Grybanser Fox (currently in development as of Nov. 2018).

Album available for purchase at http://heavyviper.bandcamp.com/album/zenodeath-original-soundtrack

CLONE POWER 2000 (Stage 6) [1-Loop Ver.]

A title track I wrote for a game a few years back that sadly didn't pan out (to my knowledge). 

I was given references mainly from Western composers, so I tried to approach it from an early Electronic Arts/Western perspective.

"Buggy Champ" Title BGM

Boss 1 theme written for a shmup project in early development. Uses FM synth and PSG instruments, but is not written for any specific chipset.

Working title: "ADVANCE MECHANIZED TERROR 'TORMENT'"

"CBH" BOSS1 v1

Stage 1 theme written for a shmup project in early development. Uses FM synth and PSG instruments, but is not written for any specific chipset.

Working title: "Skim the Streetlights"

ChronoburstH

"CBH" Stage1 v1

Intro music for a game, commissioned from me a couple of years back. To my knowledge, it is unused.

"SIGIL" Intro v1

A medley of music written for a little maid platformer reminiscent of "Bubble Bobble." Unreleased, for now.

"Cleaning Panic!" Medley

A little something for a mate's game project.

quantm birb

An arrangement of "Goodbye, Adol," a track buried somewhere in Ys II. Unsure of the composer, but I've seen an educated guess that it's Mieko Ishikawa. I went for the early '90s Falcom arrange CD vibe pretty hard, and I think it paid off.

The arrangement was written for an update of the "Melodys and Harmonys" album project, which you can listen to here: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLzFTGYa_evXiKq96T5TQu6WygMRDhfaGL

"Goodbye, Adol" - Ys II [VIPER ARRANGE]
