Metroid Prime - Luminoth Story (VGM Cover)

Old cover arrangement I made three years ago, but realized I didn't publish here. Now with cover art, and in time for this year's 909 Day.Original © Real Life

Flame (Instrumental Real Life Cover)

Original synthwave at long last. Technically commissioned by someone on Ko-Fi, but all the same, enjoy!

All tuned sounds were courtesy of the Martinic AX73 VST!

The Fang

A Patreon request for a good friend spelled it out to me: the planned publish date of this upload is the 20th anniversary of the popular mid 2000s sci-fi shooter game known as Halo 2.

This arrangement does try to capture the original atmosphere, while trying to avoid the original synthesizers and samples used. In this case, everything heard is two instances of the korg wavestate native VST, with a crowd sample sampled from my 01R/W to top it off.

High Charity (Halo 2 20th Anniversary VGM Rearrangement)

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

Rearrangement of VGM for a close friend's birthday the other day. Took the liberty of extrapolating the base composition as it was originally pretty short. Hope everyone enjoys!

Paradise Killer - Under Red Skies (Extended Cover Version)

A track from a follow-up to what will likely now be known as "Waveforms V1": more experimentation with original retrowave compositions sequenced based on sounds generated from various vintage synthesizers. Some are software-based emulations, others are sequenced and recorded from the real hardware.

This piece was made using various samples from the E-mu Emax samplers

Waveforms v2

Cover instrumental as a birthday gift for a friend on X.

One Word

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)

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)

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.

Halo 2 OST - Peril (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.

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.

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)

In an advancing world of technology, some will choose to embrace the past and present, instead of the future. I am dedicated to bringing this form of nostalgia into the world of game music.
