My submission for the first round of SHC's Mega Drive Music Contest!

The prompt for this round was to doll up a track in Sonic 3 that was changed for the Origins collection, and though I had done a couple already (Launch Base and Super Sonic say hi!), there were rules against submitting past works, so I opted to choose Ice Cap Zone.

Now for this one, I tried to maintain a level of high energy all throughout, since the zone still opens up with Sonic snowboarding down a mountain, and the original proto track comes off super unfitting in that context (I even played the track alongside footage from the game to make sure it felt right). I also added some original stuff after the B-section to break the repetition of having the same two chords over and over.

At any rate, enjoy! :)

EDIT: This track was the winner for Round 1!

Sonic the Hedgehog 3 - Ice Cap Zone Act 1 (Updated Proto Mix)

written for the maj7 community event, Reverse Review Revue! everyone wrote hypothetical "reviews" for songs that did not yet exist, and then those reviews got shuffled around and assigned to participants to reverse engineer and craft a song that would fit the review. 

my prompt was:

"I didn't think this type of thing was feasible, but the song manages to perfectly encapsulate an almost pretentious silliness, and the Gregorian chanting paradoxically only makes it sound sillier. Regrettably, the bass undercuts these elements and moves too frenetically for the listener to ever feel truly grounded at any point."

This here is my entry for Round 2 of the MD Music Competition, which involved taking any zone from Sonic 2 and remixing it to fit an alternate time period a la Sonic CD. Enjoy!

Dane cook - Public Restrooms

George Carlin - Things That Piss Me Off

George Carlin - 7 Words You Can't Say On TV

My submission for Round 3 for the SHC's Mega Drive Music Competition: "I Can't Believe it's Not SNES!"

The object here was to recreate a music track from any SNES title using the Sega Genesis' sound capabilities, while also trying to mimic the original SNES version as closely as possible.

At any rate, enjoy!

Donkey Kong Country - Opening Theme (Sega Genesis Remix)

3rd place winner in Round 4 of the Mega Drive Music Competition. The challenge for this round was simple: Make a tune in a time signature other than 4/4. I stayed in my comfort zone and went with 3/4 for this one, though a case could be made for this to be in 9/8 thanks to the swing rhythm.

At any rate, enjoy!

Lyrics to the song, because why not:

It's nice to rest your eyes,
And maybe go outside
Grab a book and get some air
So what are you waiting for?

Why not take a quick break?
Tune the radio-o-o
(There's)Chores to do,
There's leaves to rake
Strum the ol' banjo

You can practice your Lindy Hop
And maybe later sing with your barbershop
Why not take a little quick break,
Then come back for more (mooore)

Then come back for more (mooo-oore)
Please come back for mooo-ooo-ore.

Cuphead - A Quick Break (Sega Genesis Remix)

I've been on a big DefleMask kick again, so you may expect more Genesis stuff to show up in the near future. Nonetheless, enjoy.

Casino Dice Zone (Sonic 2 x Cuphead "Mashup")

I was listening to music from Pirate's Curse the other day and this seeped out of my brain hole.

Rotted Cave Zone (Sonic 2 x Shantae "Mashup")

Sonic 3 - Ice Cap Zone Remix. I tried really hard NOT to make a dance remix of this theme but it was unavoidable. I wanted to keep it pretty basic but have it sounding clean, clear and relaxing.
