Random Playlist that turned out to be really freakin’ good 🤩

my entry to BotB's Military Marches battle: https://battleofthebits.com/arena/Entry/Vanguard+Airs/59021/

a military march a la studio ghibli perhaps?

I wanted to tell a story of hope amidst tragedy and conflict.

Vanguard Airs

Zackery Wilson (@zackerywilson) is a composer, pianist, and video game music enthusiast currently living in Austin, TX. Like so many others of similar age, Zack grew up playing the video games of yesteryear and, subsequently, latched onto their infectious soundtracks, particularly the jazz-based harmonic language of early video game music. It wasn't until fairly recently, though, that Zack became directly involved with the VGM/chiptune community, first uploading chipmusic on the now-defunct 8bitcollective back in 2011. Since his formal debut on Ubiktune last year (2013), Zack has released music on various albums, soundtracks, and compilations, while concurrently working on his dissertation [in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Musical Arts (D.M.A.) at the University of Texas at Austin].

Zackery Wilson’s SNESQUE is the marriage of Super Nintendo soundfonts (i.e. collections of samples from original Super Nintendo video games) and modern-day audio production (i.e. EQ, delay, reverb, filters, etc.). For each original track, Zack adhered strictly to self imposed limitations: Each was created using only one soundfont(exclusive to each respective game), again, only taking liberties with audio production and some creative sample manipulation (i.e. pitch-shifting, time-stretching, etc.); the structure of each track limited to roughly a minute’s worth of music, looping once (in the tradition of standard video game “level” music) before fading out.

From progressive rock to jazz fusion, samba to swing, SNESQUE is a hodgepodge of musical styles, connected by the nostalgic sound of Super Nintendo video games and the familiarity of present-day audio production techniques.

SNESQUE will be released this September. Stay tuned!

Jam Jams 2 is here!

This is another collection of VGM and VGM-inspired works from me. Some of these were one-off commissions or smaller projects, others were tests or experiments that I think are neat and want to send out to the world.

I hope when you listen you can enjoy a trip through various virtual worlds.

TOHO QUEST - Chapter 9/13
========
Hoot’s kind are nowhere to be seen. It must’ve been a long time since their era had past, and Hoot seems to be the last. Distraught, she takes the team to the ancient archives, said to hold ancient information of her people. Toho and Otoh believe there may be a lead on the Tune as well… The gold embroidered columns of the Archives lay before them, and they all begin their search. After delving into the books lining the walls, the Tune’s location seems to be the last known place where Hoot’s people left the world in search of enlightenment. She sits in silence at a table, realizing she’s been left behind.
Toho and Otoh, on their search for information of the tune, are searching elsewhere. They eventually find a time-worn map hidden behind a curtain of a wall. Pulling the curtain back, a revelation is revealed to them! Marked on the map lies a chasm dubbed the Great Cleft by the ancients. It seems to be far south of the world on the surface. Returning to Hoot with great news, they find her in a rather unfortunate deposition. They both sit around her and try to cheer her up. She looks up eventually, laughing at their attempts to raise her hopes. With a newfound resolve to find her people and even newer friends by her side, she officially joins the team!

Deep Learning (Mega Drive/Genesis Original)

A track from @fluidvolt's album, who debuted on Ubiktune with Reflections of a Dancing Leaf back in 2012. The album was written with soundfonts, based on the sounds of a classic GameBoy Advance game Mother 3.

This was a commission done for a friend of mine.  He really liked it, so I hope you enjoy it as well. I had a ton of fun making this!

Space Harrier Main Theme (8BIT VRC6 COVER)

I SPENT AN HOUR GETTING AN EMULATOR SETUP JUST FOR A SCREENSHOT. AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

I accidentally found the fundamental drum loop used in the original track last night while going through my sample library (X-Static Goldmine, by the way). Decided to go and make a cover of a track that's been a part of my life for a very long time. Enjoy!

Rusty Ruin Zone - Act 2 (Saturn)

I don't think I'm going to touch another song cover in a while, this was a good chunk of work for me! But, ultimately, I had a lot of fun. Don't know if I've done justice to the original or not, but I don't really care. This is the take of it I heard in my mind, and that's what I wanted to make.
