🔥FINAL CRASH UPDATE / Nov. 23/23🔥 - "Fuze" was the first song in SOR3 that signified a dramatic departure from the first two games. This soundtrack would be hardcore, and Motohiro Kawashima brought the goods. For this song, I wanted to build an expansion onto it that felt completely natural and logical, and I wanted the listener to miss the transition entirely. The objective? To create a sense that this is the definitive fleshed out version of the song. It's my take, and I hope Kawashima-san enjoys it, if he ever listens to it. 

NOTE: This is the "Final Crash" edition of the song, in reference to the last time I will be touching the original SOR soundtracks. I now consider them totally complete.

🔥FINAL CRASH UPDATE / Nov. 23/23🔥 - When developing the music for Streets of Rage 3, a technique was used to artificially create randomized sequences that could not otherwise be dreamt up by the human mind.  Cycle I is a perfect example of the chaotic heavy industrial techno approach the game took, and it was a challenge to flesh this one out. Less turned out to be more, as any significant deviation would have ruined the track altogether. Great job by Motohiro Kawashima on the original composition.

Streets of Rage 2

🔥FINAL CRASH UPDATE / Nov. 6/23🔥 - "Go Straight" is one of the hardest Streets of Rage songs to mix, balance and master. After years of fighting it, I've finally created a version that I feel most happy with. I don't think I'll ever get it perfect (nothing is), but this is the closest to the vision I wanted. This is one of the hardest rocking video game tunes ever created, and I'm proud to build on Yuzo Koshiro's dynamite ingenuity and imagination with my expanded sections.

NOTE: This is the "Final Crash" edition of the song, in reference to the last time I will be touching the original SOR soundtracks. I now consider them totally complete.

Go Straight (Expanded & Enhanced) - STREETS OF RAGE 2

🔥FINAL CRASH UPDATE / Nov. 6/23🔥 - The last release of "Expander" I did failed to produce a worthy mix. I'm glad to finally rectify that in order to pay correct homage to Motohiro Kawashima's frantic, crazy and awesome creation. The expansion I built for this song is one I'm incredibly proud of, and I think it sounds so natural against Kawashima's arrangement. Purely subjective, of course!

My name is MaestroDraven, and I recreate the classic video game songs of old, NOTE-FOR-NOTE, and then build entirely new sections designed to flesh them out and expand on the originals. This is a labor of love, and my way of paying tribute to the great composers of old.
