Submission for the 2nd edition of the Poutine Simfile Pack for Stepmania by the Montreal rhythm game community.


Rhythm games are near and dear to my heart, I grew up playing them all the time and going to the arcade on weekends and after school is one of my fondest childhood memories, so I thought I would pay tribute to that with this version of Charlene from the classic ITG series, I might tackle songs from other series (coughsDDRcoughs) soon! 

Written on a Gameboy DMG running LSDj.

Here are three tracks I wrote for the demo title Marla and the Elemental Rings, submitted to the 2021 Game Boy Competition. These are the original LSDj versions, which were then transcribed and modified to be readable by gbt player. It was a blast working on this game and I learned a ton of new things, mostly about how challenging writing for gameboy hardware can be, nevertheless I hope you enjoy these three little tracks!

Level 1 - Grassy Plains

I'm a big fan of post-rock bands such as This Will Destroy You and Godspeed You! Black Emperor so I tried to recreate something in this style using LSDj, this track was the result of that experiment, a soft rising and descending minor scale that gives way to furiously modulating square waves and noise sounds. This track was written entirely on a gameboy, but some volume correction and reverb effects were added in post-processing.

I have included the SAV file using the link below in case anyone is interested, I made extensive use of tables and the Z (random) command to achieve most of the effects. This track was written on LSDj Version 9.1.C, so previous versions might not work.

Mosquitoes In A Rainstorm

little chiptune arrangement of an old composition of mine, in a dreamy ambient style. Made on the dirty wave m8 tracker.

Forest Spirit Reunion

this is my first album. it's a collection of songs inspired by how stars live and die. it was written mostly using a gameboy and it is deeply influenced by the thousands of hours spent listening to progressive rock when i was a kid.

~song details~

written on lsdj 9.2.L
inspired by the music of azuria sky, defense mechanism and yasunori mitsuda
i'm happy i was able to do all the volume fades and transitions in the gameboy, i usually rely on a DAW for that kinda stuff, i'm proud of the results here!
