High Tide Circuit

My submission for the "Villain's Theme Music Jam".
Decided to participate in a jam with the free time I had over spring break. This is the result (which I'm quite pleased with).

Lord Scaletorn is an evil Reptilian/Human hybrid abomination who plans to execute his conquest to dominate the modern world (Excuse the terrible sketch that has been attempted for the album art work).


My favorite interval in this piece is the tritone (or augmented 4th)

at the beginning of "chorus" (at around 12 seconds in). In this case, I went from the I (Cm) to the #IV(F#M).

I like how I layered this chord under the C minor scale.

I didn't think this was going to work, but the note that plays over the chord is the minor VII of the C minor scale which is also the III of F#M triad - so it worked out perfectly.

I think this chord progression produces not only a grandiose sound, but a very ominous one as well.

Another interval to mention is how I used the C minor scale and C harmonic minor scale interchangeably.

This is specifically characterized by the usage of the major and minor VII - which is what distinguishes each scale respectively from each other. Looking into the main melody - the major VII and minor VII played in the same phrase (the motif) creates what I think is a little bit of a haunting effect - while ending with the minor scale (going from the minor VII to the I) creates a powerful ending.

Lord Scaletorn's Conquest

This was a track I wrote for a Halloween game jam game last year. Liked it enough to want to finish and upload it separately from the game.

Enjoy!

Chased In The Mansion

This song is from a classic Sonic the Hedgehog OVA i used to watch when I was kid so I did a remix. Hopefully it isn't too bad.

For The Land of the Sky (Remix)(Sonic The Hedgehog OVA)

Another cover from The Sonic OVA.
This is my second favorite song on that album.

Thanks to my good friend ClassicGamer76 for adding his
arrangements and keeping this awesome track fresh!

From The Land of Darkness Remix (Feat. Kevin Blondel)

Here is my attempt at remixing this old cover. 

For The Land of the Sky (Remix by Matt Matriciano) Remaster

The purpose of this, just like my Sonic OVA remixes, was to attempt to keep the original sound but add my own modern twist to it. 
Some changes might be more apparent than others, but the structure and the melodies are practically the same. 
Another one will be coming shortly. Feel free to tell me what you think :D

This song is from a relatively unknown game titled "Popful Mail" (Original release date: 1991) created by Sega and Falcom. It was released on various platforms (The Sega CD and the SNES were the most popular).

Fun Fact: Sega and Falcom, at one point, wanted to collaborate and mash the characters from Popful mail and Sonic the Hedgehog to create a game starring Sonic's long lost sister. It's obvious now that it never happened (and probably for good reasons xD). What ended up happening instead was a 1995 English release of Popful Mail.

I recently stumbled upon this gem and had to dip my hands into it. Hopefully, there wasn't too much damage done in the making...

Volcanic Zone (Exploration)(Remix by Matt Matriciano)

First track of 2018. A lot has changed since my last release of 2017 and that includes a whole new setup. This remix is more so a mix test if anything. 

I decided to go back to the Popful Mail OST since it always has 
some really solid tracks that inspire me to write.

As my previous remixes, I kept the sound similar, almost identical to the original with a few personal changes and liberties to the structure and arrangement. I'd consider this more so a recreation with minor changes than a remix haha.

Volcanic Zone Battle Theme (Remix by Matt M)

a song based on 90s racing games. Worked on this one for a bit.
My goal was to produce an entire song with only using midi instruments -
this was the outcome.
