In light of Project Friday not going to air tonight, decided to share this possibly-finalized version of my track "Electric Dreams", a track featured on the program last week. Lighter synthwave for everyone, for a change.

Electric Dreams

Finally wrote another track, which will likely be part of an EP when finished. Showing the WIP just to prove I'm not dead.

Clouds (WIP)

My first serious attempt at a remix. Borderline cover as well in that it uses no stems from the original track, written and performed by Starforce and Starchild. To Starforce, hope you don't mind I borrowed the artwork for this track.

Check out the original on Bandcamp!

Cosmic Voyage (Python Blue Remix)

Upgraded my computer to the new Mac Pro. In light of this accomplishment, I made this cover song as a celebration. Please take it easy on my lack of singing ability.

A more mainstream synthwave attempt with this one.

The Hacker

Another attempt at singing covers.

Cry Little Sister (Cover of the Lost Boys Soundtrack)

Managed to make a quick cover of the title music from the recent Godzilla movie. Arranged in a somewhat retro electronic style.

'Fighting In The Street' (Streets Of Rage 1)

Decided to release a filler single while I work on a possible next EP. This track will likely be included in that EP, but feel free to download it now!

Universe

Inspired by a "Donate a Track" trend Nostalgic Fantasy is trying to start. This track was originally intended for a separate album, but due to lack of ideas, combined with Nostalgic Fantasy's idea, I decided to give it away already, and for free download.

Done entirely on the Korg M1 VST.

Donate a Track - Air Rocks

Tried to challenge myself to make a new piece while limiting my sound options as much as possible. Drums are from the VLinn using custom EPROM images, the lead is from the OBXD, and the rest is from Bitley's "Way Beyond Synclavier" sample pack.

Wonderworld

My contribution to a new compilation by 30th Floor Records. This compilation is dedicated to the Mortal Kombat games of the early 90s, and the remixes within are fantastic!

Synthality - Cloud Room (MK2)

Belated upload to Soundcloud, a site I've grown to realize I need despite my personal reservations against it.

Available for download here:

Pluto: A Synth Odyssey - World Of Isolation

FINALLY a new upload from me! This was a submission for a compilation that came out just tonight dedicated to the Nintendo 64 era video games, in my case, the game Perfect Dark.

Original piece ©  Grant Kirkhope, David Clynick, and Graeme Norgate

Finally uploading another piece here. This is a remix of a piece from the popular game Undertale. It was an extremely simple piece, so I ended up throwing in additional melodies in order to extend it, as well as rearranging to have a feel like a late 80s/early 90s horror soundtrack.

Undertale - Premonition (Python Blue Remix)

Metroid Prime - Emperor Ing Theme 1 (Retro Cover)

Recently grew to appreciate the debut album by the Sisters of Mercy, so I felt it best to give another tribute to them beyond my cover of Never Land from years ago.

All but the drums came from the Roland Cloud D-50, which, coincidentally, is a VST based on a synthesizer they used for their Vision Thing album. Drums courtesy of the VProm, using almost entirely non-stock LinnDrum sounds.

Original song © Sisters of Mercy

Sisters of Mercy - Black Planet (Instrumental Cover Version)

Made yesterday to try to get ideas flowing in the night. All but the percussion and the distorted sound toward the end were made on the RolandCloud D-50.

Original piece © Martin O'Donnell and Michael Salvatori

Halo 2 OST - Peril (Cover Version)

Finally got around to another piece I can publicize. Everything except the drums, bass, and honking noises were from the RolandCloud JV-1080.

Original song © Depeche Mode and Mute Records

Everything Counts (Instrumental Depeche Mode Cover)

May as well upload something to compensate for my relative absence last week. This was actually started last November, and I've refined it since.

Original song © Depeche Mode and Mute Records

Get The Balance Right (Instrumental Depeche Mode Cover)

May as well show that I haven't been completely inactive lately, so enjoy this cover of the opening music from the 1990 film of TMNT.

Original music © John DuPrez

TMNT 1990 - Opening Titles (Cover Version)

First video upload of the new year may as well be a submission I made for a compilation that came out a week or two ago: a cover tribute to the Donkey Kong Country games, titled Treetop Tunes and distributed by Pixel Mixers.

Original composition © David Wise & Eveline Fischer

DKC2 - Crocodile Cacophony (Cover Version for Pixel Mixers)

Unusual music for me, I know, but I suppose it's good to experiment: a metal-tinged recreation of the theme for MotorCity, as requested by a good friend of mine, with additional extensions based very loosely on the source material.

MotorCity Theme (Extended Cover Version)

A short cover of the music for Freedom Planet 2 as a gift for a good friend of mine who recently hit 5000 followers on Twitter. Check her out here:

Freedom Planet 2 OST - Carol's Stage Clear (Cover Version)

After some time, I think now is a good time to begin giving previews of one of my big projects the past year: an upcoming game being developed by CowCat Games. It's not the whole piece, and that's simply because the game isn't officially out, yet.

More information about the project and its developer can be found on Twitter: http://www.twitter.com/COWCATGames

Digimon Frontiers Theme (Instrumental Cover)

After finding out I'm eligible for SoundCloud Premier, I was officially convinced to revisit this place. This was uploaded to YouTube a while back. Expect there to be a backlog of dated uploads here, that in mind.

The Crystal Key - Hangar / Flight (Game Soundtrack Recreation)

A cover version of music from a newer game I recently discovered and enjoyed. I was tempted to resort to my usual retro synth twist, but I decided in the end it would take away from the original intended mood, so I settled for a compromise by using various 90s ROMpler sounds for this arrangement.

Shoutout to Karolina Twardosz and Lukasz Mikołajczyk for the fun game this composition is from, which can be bought on Steam here: https://store.steampowered.com/app/904750/Zniw_Adventure/

Additional shoutout to Denis Comtese, who made the original compositions, which can be listened to here on SoundCloud: https://soundcloud.com/user-995184273/sets/zniw-adventure-ost

Zniw Adventure - Scattered Woods (Cover Version)

Had some inspiration to work on another video game rearrangement, this time, using only a single recording of a multitimbral synthesizer, in this case, the X5DR.
