Take Me Away

Song composed by: marcb0t (Marcus Isom)

Featuring: Jredd (Trevin Hughes) who helped me with one of the patterns when I was stuck ❤

I entered this song into a compilation album for "Fantasy Jam" under the "Chiptune Café" label. 

It was originally intended for a homebrew Sega Genesis game. 

I was inspired by a player piano back in 2003 at the Old Galveston Strand Emporium.

Experimenting with samples on the AY. :)

This is how I envision the Phantasy Star 1 title screen sounding if it had been made for Sega Genesis. Made it all from memory, and it's in a different key, though. :)

This was made using only VGM Music Maker.

This song will sound as-is on an actual Sega Genesis. The original game was made for an older system, Sega Master System, which did not have as advanced sound as the Genesis.

I was surprised how well you could do a theremin on the Genesis hardware, as well as the sliced beats through a single DAC channel.

At the first segment, I have this stereo gapping chord thing made using the Special Mode of Channel 3, a highly underused feature that allows you to do polyphony of 4 notes through a single sound channel. There will be more of that from me in the future... hopefully :)

A new era begins as the regenerated marcb0t 4.01 materializes.

Feel free to say hi, and enjoy the tracks I made, for now.
