Name: Soaring Goat by MTaur in All 8BMT Weekly Challenges on Soundcloud(That I know of) PART 1
Duration: 2 min 29 s
Description: Quick speedrun thing for the 8-bit Music Theory Discord weekly challenge - Flying composition.

A collection of all pieces, both arrangements and originals, that were made for the 8-Bit Music Theory Discord's Weekly Challenges. The Weeklies are a set of challenges to either arrange or compose a piece to a prompt within a week, for the chance to get the prestegious prize of the "A Winner is You!" Rank, as well as access to the coveted #pinata channel but shh! I didn't tell you that ;). Also, I threw in some covers of weekly tracks and alt versions, as I feel it's appropriate, though that may change in the future.

Dire Dire Docks (Super Mario 64): Dance Remix

Another Weekly Challenge entry, this one just being arranging a song that is nostalgic to us, so I chose Rocket Jump Waltz.  This is mostly designed to be good for some live performances, so stay tuned to see if that's a thing.

Swing Doggo is a fictional character credited for playing EWI on the song Lucky Seven.  But that was actually Keeba:  https://soundcloud.com/mtaur/lucky-seven

It has proven quite difficult to definitively identify the original source for the image, but I found it with a Google search for "Swing Doggo".

Agent Scarlet

Polyhedra's Blues, with a Mindy's Bakery skit.
Written for 8-Bit Music Theory Discord weekly challenge, Frankenstein week.  (Must satisfy three previous prompts.  Chose RNG + Jazz + Duet)

A duel between Matt/MTaur and The Muffin Man ( DerHealsmann / https://soundcloud.com/lucas_kelly )

Skit:
Me (Matt)
Moogleman ( https://soundcloud.com/rkirsling )
Spouselady (Mindy)

The first 7 melody notes of Polyhedra's Blues were rolled randomly from the chromatic scale using 12-sided dice.  The result sounded like a Thelonious Monk blues, and it inspired what you hear in this song and the skit surrounding it.

Monk is a unique sound, and can be jarring if you haven't heard it before.  To some extent I attempted to imitate it here.  There's no real substitute for the original:  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rrKpffh8TY8

Polyhedra's Blues Plus Skit

Entry for the Discord 8-Bit Music Theory weekly contest - composition - Animal Crossing title screen week.

Inspired by an actual baby.
