The music represented here is an example of some of the original compositions that I wrote in the late 90s in MIDI format. Similar to my Enhanced Game MIDIs, these works use general MIDI samples from my Yamaha Motif ES8 workstation keyboard. Although they were polished for presentation with expression and mixing tweaks, these songs overall maintain the Super Nintendo-inspired composition style that I produced years ago.

I made several MIDIs in the 1990s for a virtual world called Dreamscape: the first and last remaining zone in a vintage metacommunity called VZones (formerly WorldsAway).  Dreamscape features a fantasy atmosphere inspired by Greek mythology.  It is the land of the god of dreams, Morpheus, and its central area of interest is the City of Phantasus on the Island of Kymer.   Unlike music for Second Kingdom, the compositions written for Dreamscape all share a common melody—a leitmotif—and are entirely unofficial.

This western theme from July of 1996 represents Bar-L Bar, a saloon that was well-known for its house Red Eye.  The intro for the piece takes cues from an old western tune that many may recognise, but the rest is completely mine.  Some adjustments were made to the composition to improve its flow and balance using the same writing philosophy that I had in the 90s.  Amongst these changes are the improved guitar chord strumming techniques and the softening of some jarring hits, as well as some smaller tweaks.  Please enjoy this classic!
