Another oldie that needs to go in my SC archive now that I have way too much space available. This is a chiptune I made some 8 years ago before I even posted my first track on Reunion Netlabel. It's one of those tracks that pushed me towards where I am today, so I keep feeling obliged to share it with people. I hope you like it 

In The City Of Light (2006)

Whoa! I actually made a video game music remix! 
Rare occasions! Rare occasions.
This is a pretty conservative take on the Red Soil theme from Super Metroid, at least musically. I tried to keep it interesting by messing with the structure :)
Adam @theGarbs Garbutt kindly contributed with his mastering skills. Cheers, m8!


Super Metroid - Drowning In Iron Oxide Remix (Brinstar - Red Soil Wetland Area)

My 2008 take on the theme from Shammy Gen, the 10th planet of the obscure Rare/Tradewest Space-Shooter/Explorer Solar Jetman.
Superbly remastered by Adam "theGarbs" Garbutt for SoundCloud, thanks m8!

Oh, wow.
It's been a while, guys. Thanks for sticking around! This is my first post in a while and I hope the genre doesn't scare you. I haven't made an original track in this style since 2012 so many of you might not be aware of this side of me, since that's when I started uploading here. You might've heard my OC ReMixes and they tend to emulate my older songs in terms of style (2006-2012). So if you enjoyed my metroid remix this might be something down your alley. 
Don't worry! I'm not quitting chiptune! I have some tracks in the wip folder. :)

I've been focusing on producing the debut album of Ikiryo, a band I play the bass in. That's why the last year's posts have been sparse, the record is now done on my end (mixing) so I will have more time to make music again going forward.

Hope you like this track, it felt good to open schism again.
Cheers!

Space Domino

Oh dear, this one has been in the works since before my thinking cap remix. The oldest file I could find was from July 2011. Boy have it changed, though. It's gone through 4 revisions by now, but I'm finally decently happy with what it is.

I love this game, It's one of those forgotten classics that just blew me away as a kid. A combination of top-down explorer and space shooter? why not? :)
This is my - fairly exaggerated - take on the password / end stage theme - after everything has been blown to smithereens, as Miria leaves Naru to fight the final boss.

The Guardian Legend - Miria's Ascent Remix (Password Continue ~ Rescue the Earth)

Quick chip before I go on tour with the band... See you on the other side!

Chasm Diving

Another remix, in the midst of all the noise from the band, here's an eclectic psytrance/chiptune arrangement of one of the best title screen tracks of all time, by Rob Hubbard, based on the work of Philip Glass. A remix of a remix. 
I never played this game myself, but I grew up listening to a .xm version I found on the webs by Wire. When I actually found the original I was even further blown away by this piece. A classic indeed.

Hope you guys like it.
Please share, repost, comment or like if you want to support me!
Cheers!

Delta - Wings Of Glass Remix (Title)

Happy new years, everyone. 
Thanks for sticking around for another year, despite plato taking the backseat for most of it. Here's to a 2017 that's a little less dramatic.

Influx

This is the third installment of my Triangle Waves series. I've recently gone through my insanely vast WIP folders and tried to sort out what should and should not be finished (there's just too much), and I found this piece from around the same time as Hypnagogia, so i dusted it off, gave it some polish and an outro (originally it just looped). Made with a single triangle wave sample, just like its predecessors. 

Comments are always welcome, and don't forget to like if you like and share if you dare.
Cheers!

Sleeping Spectre [Triangle Waves]

Dual arrangement combining J-E-N-O-V-A (FF7) & Find Your Way (FF8) because it was interesting enough. :D

Final Fantasy VII & VIII - Finding Your Inner Alien Remix (J-E-N-O-V-A & Find Your Way)

Short lofi techstep track made with various chip samples.

Stop

Composed for solo guitar, arranged in Schism Tracker.

Recreate

It doesn't try too hard, but I think it adds enough without taking away too much. I've been thinking about extending it or adding stuff, but I've decided to let it be as is, as it feels complete somehow, even in its obvious minimalism.

Final Fantasy VII - Pour The Poison Out Remix (Mako Reactor)

Diablo II - Children Of Zakarum Remix (Docks)

Info:
I pressed rec in Reason and started playing. First attempt at doing this kind of recording, although I have been playing the piano a lot recently. Improv fits me well at the moment, since I have little to no time to write, plan, track, arrange, mix or master anything. Oh, and June 2018 (not sure of the date) marks 20 years making music in trackers for me. So there's also that. I'm a bit amazed at that number...

Known Issues:
* I don't have a sustain pedal for this thing, so I added some ambient echoing, hopefully not annoying.
* The keys are a bit awkward (I'm used to bigger keys), so I slipped a few times. Sorry about that.
* As evidenced by the picture, the keyboard has only two octaves.
* I was at least wearing pants. 

I have learned that Soundcloud requires an account to download, so I uploaded it here for anyone just passing by:

Two-Octave Improv

Revised version after ace feedback from OC ReMix judges panel.

Zelda II The Adventure of Link - Do You Need A Light? Remix (Battle BGM)

Chip 'N Dale's Rescue Rangers - No Hat For Fat Cat Remix (Stage J)

new week.
new chip
this time around is a magical village theme

Wind Chime

A Sonic 3 Ice Cap Act 1 Remix called "Thinking Cap" I've worked on. 
It's finished, and I actually submitted this to OC ReMix in October...

Sonic The Hedgehog 3 - Thinking Cap Remix (Ice Cap Zone: Act 1)

An unreleased blast from the past!
Arranged in 2008, mixed and posted in 2013.


Solar Jetman  - Federation Of Space Loonies Remix (Medley)

Sorry for the lack of posts, I've more or less run out of upload space, so tracks will be few and far between.
Keep an eye on Reunion for bigger releases.

This installment uses PureMagnetik's Grand Piano Lite sample pack, recorded live in Renoise Tracker with my two-octave akai keyboard.
No sustain pedal this time either, but some processing made it sound a bit better and less dry.

Two-Octave Improv No. 2 - Aimless Witness

Hello! 
I'm mostly known for my OC ReMixes, but I also do a lot of chiptune &/or IDM hybrid stuff in Schism Tracker & Renoise Tracker. 

I also run the netlabel called Reunion since 2006, we've been on a lengthy hiatus, but rebooted the label in Sep 2019 with a sparse release schedule - It started out as a platform for me to get in contact with my old netlabel pals from the late 90s to early 00s (hence the name), as I had lost my internet access for a few years, but it turned into a pretty big project with 50+ artists from around the globe. 
I ran out of upload space on here, so I won't be posting as much anymore. Keep an eye on Reunion instead.

Feedback and comments are always welcome.
send me a pm for any questions
