Here are a couple of tracks I was commissioned to create for someone's Twitch stream. I've used these to double as the first in my new 'BEAT$' series, which will consist of any commissioned work that I'm given permission to release on streaming services, etc. I hope you enjoy this couple of new bops!

[NOTE]: You'll notice perhaps that both of these tracks run a bit on the long side. This is because, as the tracks were requested to be 'loopable' I wanted to showcase that loop transition at least once within the track, without the listener having to load the track in a way that loops it indefinitely somehow.

[NOTE]: Also 'Nasty Plot' is totally a reference to the Attack of the same name from Pokémon.

Shady Monk - Soft To The Touch

For maj7's "ESCAPE FROM WIP CITY" event. This is based on a WIP by anosci from 2018. Not wanting to destroy his original vision, I decided to try and make it a bit longer and add some additional elements, rather than making a cover or remix. 

I decided to use the Roland XV-5080 VST (for the first time), fun to use and has some good sounds although it started ruining OpenMPT's performance, so unfortunately this track didn't turn out too long. But at least I think I added some nice parts.

This was my entry for round 1 of a beat battle contest I did almost a decade ago.

It was set up like fighting tournament brackets. The for this round was an intense battle. 

I was playing a lot of Final Fantasy XIII-2 at this point. xD
