"TAC" is a project where I choose a random video game song, transcribe it, and then compose a track inspired by it. This project ran from Jul. 7, 2019 - Dec. 31, 2020.

TAC#25: Gazing Along...

"it is your moon and your star... i will take you there... and on your moon you will witness the beauty of your star... as i witness the beauty of mine..."
- alien (they love you)

a snes story where you go on your second date with this alien and they are already confessing their love to you under the moonlight. that feels a bit fast...but idk i'd prolly accept. 

used c700...can probably export to .smc but not .spc and the second "hastalavista" sample couldn't fit into the c700 so i put in another instance of it. anyways chrono trigger strings and bass, earthbound percussion, kirby dreamland 3 triangle wave, marioRPG accordion yea that's it ok bye

your moon and your star
