Kenny Chou - One Must Fall 2097 theme (Byproduct remix)

XM remake from 1997.

I never really cared for this track. The sounds, sampled off a Roland JV-35, were clean and reasonably punchy but also quite flat and annoying. The lead sound was grating, the solo atrocious, and the melody had a childish, irritating quality that has this track firmly on my shitlist. All the more reason to give it a second chance!

First up was deciding what to do about the lead instrument. After some experimentation I found a tweak to my standard "two slightly detuned saws" that brought a bit more motion to it, something needed for all those sustained notes. I also dug into the organ arrangement, trying to pepper some inspiration into the very monotonous chord progressions.

As always with these remakes, it's humbling for me to hear my musical ideas come out with more clarity and purpose, and as per the rule, this is now one of my favorites. I hope it'll be yours too.

Award-winning composer for video games and Scottish artist, Barry "Epoch" Topping (PARADISE KILLER, SENTRY, THATCHER'S TECHBASE, ENCOUNTERS) returns with “The Needs”, 11 songs of lavish reflection in a modern city pop style. The album takes the listener through an emotional exploration of identity and change set against the backdrop of late summer. It fuses city pop, rock and dance music into a rich, dreamy blast of video game-tinged modern pop music.

Secret Level

A few years ago I had the opportunity to work with Vreski games and create the soundtrack for their most recent title. I got an email with a few screenshots and was immediately sold. Stick-shooter, Hong-kong, super violent, and early 90's setting. What's not to love?

The Hong Kong Massacre is available on Steam and PS4. Try it out.
