Name: [Famicom] Actraiser - Fillmore (2A03+VRC6) by kashiwa
Duration: 1 min 43 s
Description: The prototype of ActRaiser’s ‘Fillmore’ was made on PC-88 and is included in the soundtrack ‘Misty Blue’. It has a sound that seems to be clearly inspired by Castlevania 3, so I tried to make it closer to the real thing.

Here's my submission to Ongaku Concept Collective's 3rd collaborative album titled "Tales from the Farlands". The concept we were given was to tell the tale of a nation - of which we had to create - through song.

As for my nation, welcome to Automatos!
The country of Automatos is a technological utopia, where the best aspects of robots and humans enrich each other to achieve a unity that other countries could only dream of. The country is currently and immortally led by Autos, a group of officials that work together to keep everything in order.
The Automatians have been modified from birth to become one with technology, embracing the superior logical minds of supercomputers alongside their own brains, and the incredible durability of a titanium alloy body protecting the fragile organs it encases. Utilising the brain implant, Automatians are able to connect directly to other fellow Automatians and transmit thoughts, eliminating the need for spoken language, as well as browse the internet, play games and access information. There is no need to worry for anyone who may be concerned by this however, as all content is carefully curated by Autos themselves to remove any harmful information to keep everyone safe.
In case of an emergency - for example, if an Automatian is displaying dangerous behaviours - offenders are brought up to Autos themselves to be corrected. Any second offenders are promptly deactivated and sent to The Barrens.

I want to give a massive thank you to everyone involved in the making of the album, especially Howard Viva for organising the project and to Joshua Taipale for bringing together such a wonderful community of musicians to make something like this possible.

Fight and Flight - Rivals of Aether (OPL3 4OP)

FM cover of The Town from Ottifanten - Kommando Störtebeker. I wanted to make an arcade-style cover of this song, so I opted to use the chipsynth OPS7 VST by plogue which emulates the DX7, which I figuered was close enough to the YM2151.

...or, to use the more commonly known term, "a Megadrive's two soundchips plus the sample-based chip inside the Mega CD".

don't know if this is possible to pull off on hardware, given potential sync issues between Mega CD and MegaDrive, but as a proof of concept I rather quite enjoyed making this!

Mega Man 2 - Metalman (MegaDrive +RF5C68 Arrange)

"getting more confident with guitar has been the single most ruinous thing to my production values - I'm actually trying again" - me, 2023.

I had *so* much fun making and mixing this. I might do more F-Zero down the road! It was invigorating to challenge my skills on guitar to produce something that, for the longest time, I thought outside of my realm of skills. I hope it shows!

F-Zero - Mute City (MKT Arrange)
