The yearly Nintendium-118 compilation album is back again, now at Volume 3!

If last year was challenging to finish up, this year was even more riddled with troubles - losing access to all submissions (requiring entrants to resubmit - I hope we didn't miss anyone, and if we did, we're sorry) was the highlight? of this volume, as the previous host seemed to not want to respond to queries of any kind...

That didn't stop us from forging forward, however. We're still super proud to showcase our community's efforts for this year's edition, and there's a lot of great tracks in here. We hope you'll enjoy listening to these!

Yours truly,
The PSG Cabal staff

A quick cover i made in about two weeks. Song is fairly simple by itself, so i didn't have any troubles making it, though it's not 100% accurate.

Yes, i know i didn't upload anything in almost two years, so expect at least one original song from me this year.

Chiptune Song: The Undead Pixel

I have SoundCloud Pro now, I'm going to slowly upload my entire back catalogue, I'm in the process of building up my new portfolio too and it's going to be fer that too.

Anyway, fun music, was inspired by The Legendary Axe (on the PC-Engine) when writing the first half, and by Rise of the Triad (really any of Lee Jackson's music).

Zhari village is a walled village in the northern wastes of the Kerlynzian Empire. The people there are hardy, and its farms are sustained by a dam near the town gates. Normally, it's a pretty peaceful and inconsequential place. Normally.
The city is teeming with Imperial Knights now, keen to sniff out a conspiracy to aid the New State Army which has turned a lot of frontier towns to its cause. It's a tense place to be just now.

Zhari Village

i'm not using "hiphop" or "rap" as tags anymore cuz that shit attracts about ten times as many bots to my songs and i get enough of those on this site as is

music to get fucking pissed to

Artist comments:
""In the middle of the night, lightened by the bright moon, the thief tries to steal the rare Selenium mineral; but the alarm goes off! The chase is on."

This is my first track for PSG Cabal, and honestly I'm really happy with how it turned out!
The song, made in Famitracker (and using the VRC6 module), is my first attempt at composing a "chiptune rhapsody", and it's directly inspired by the chemical element n. 34, Selenium. For example, the theme and focus of the song is the Moon, which is associated with Selenium's name; while the use of a 7/4 time signature comes from adding up the digits of Selenium's atomic number, 3 + 4.

I had a ton of fun composing this, I hope you'll have fun listening to it too! Thanks to y'all and PSG Cabal for the opportunity. <3"

Artist comments:
"When I think of nitrogen, the first thing that springs to mind is its role as an essential nutrient for all forms of plant life. In the US fertilizer is sold with an N(nitrogen) P(phosphorous) K(Potassium) rating expressed as numbers relative to the content of each element. IE 7-6-4.

Nitrogen is extracted from many sources globally and used in greater quantities than any other form of fertilizer. This translates into a tune by way of the concept of the life cycle of a plant. From the quietude and potential of the seed, unlocking and coming to life, followed by the fragility and transience of the seedling stage.

Then with any luck entering the marathon of vegitive growth, into the transcendnce of flowering and fruiting, and eventually into senescence. I attempted to draft passages that capture the feeling of growth, transitional energy and the span of the life cycle. Nitrogen is perhaps best known as an atmospheric or inert gas, and the concept of the cycle is instrumental here as well - from the atmosphere to the biosphere and back again."

Level One

My first track using FamiTracker. I named it "Back To My Roots" because the first song I ever wrote in my life was a Bossa Nova and at this time, long years ago, I wrote some Swing tunes.

My final entry for my exploitation and explorations of my custom-made soundfont from Famitracker for the year. I struggled Soooo damn much with this tune... there's like 3 or 4 different versions! Mainly with writing and not execution. Anyway, none of that really matters... what matters is that I hope y'all enjor the version that appeased me : )

Look forward to more explorations of the 2A03 soundfont sometime in the future! I will be uploading a final playlist of all this stuff @ the end of 2018 so please look forward to that : )

2A03 - Twitter Painted

I've had this thing finished for several months but never bothered to upload it, so I thought it'd be neat to have it up for christmas so yea, cool.

This is mostly just me using the Shovel Knight instruments to create an arrangement, I took most of my inspiration from The Betrayer obviously tho the intro uses some instruments from Flowers Of Antimony, but yeah a lot of it is just me dicking around till I thought I had something that sounded neat so it's not supposed to be like a perfect 1 to 1 with any specific Shovel Knight track lol.

Mercury Meltdown! Another one of my favorite games, right from my childhood, with a SPECTACULAR soundtrack I'm still impressed by after all these years. Because of this, and because the game is pretty darn underrated and/or unknown, I felt the need, in my smallness, to give it at least SOME of the exposure it truly deserves.
I hope someone out there will eventually make a Mercury Meltdown sequel or remake, because to me it honestly looks like a pretty interesting and unique concept, fun to play, and also very challenging at times.

The FamiTracker project is also available for download, if you wanna take a look at how it works!
Download: https://www.dropbox.com/s/bv5rdwuj6m9inim/MercuryMeltdown_Brasil_ChipVer_PUBLIC.ftm?dl=0

This is my first VRC6 track! Not gonna lie, I'm pretty satisfied with how it turned out. The instrumentation in the original song translated pretty well in the chiptune genre, and with the help of some instrument juggling (using more than 1 voice in a single channel), I think I gave some justice to the piano lead's rhythm complexity; you be the judge.

This time, I also created an animation for the song, all on my own, obviously by taking inspiration from the game, and then re-creating, texturing and adapting the sprites (and the mercury ball model) to be in "8-bit" style. It took some time, but I'm pretty sure it was worth the wait. The animation doesn't follow NES' or other consoles' standards, but I tried my best to make it as close as possible to the "8-bit"/pixel art style. I hope you like it!
By any means, feel free to let me know what you think about it (you can be honest). I've always been fascinated by the world of animations and pixel art, as well as any visual arts really. There are some really really talented artists out there. If I can, I'd really love to create more stuff like this in the future.

Thank you so much for listening, and for the support and the lovely feedback you gave to me so far.
I hope my music can help you all feel better, overcome obstacles, and just have a good time. Take care, see ya soon!
