WL42

Well where do I start here, just a few weeks ago I met a very nice fellow by the name of MarioSpore (Developer of WL42). To make things short, we met through discord on the Wario Land 4 2 server. We voice chatted and I showed him some of my own music using the fantastic Wario Land 4 soundfont created by Tahutoa. He liked my stuff and the conversation lead to me trying to create a theme for Wario Land 4 2, and now here we are, about 3 weeks after these events took place. 

Song Notes:
Well, I struggled to get the ball rolling at first, making several different themes (which I might release later). I actually settled on a completely different theme, worked on it for HOURS...then forgot to save it...wow Shawn how spicy of you. So, I took a short ONE day break to think about my next move and try not to screw it up again, I took a scrapped WL42 theme and fixed it just so I wouldn't be put too far behind.  Then as the song developed more and more MarioSpore suggested that I try and add a few other themes in as well, I added what MarioSpore told me was one of Tahutoa's favorite tracks, Dust in the Wind. Then I added on of MarioSpore's favorite pieces of music, Sweet Board. Everything else is completely original ad took about 3 weeks, with short little 4 hour work sessions. 

Here is Tahutoa's words on the project and his part in bringing this WAHnderful piece of music to WL42.

This song was composed by @shawnster1-366703936, our relatively recent addition to the team.
Who would've thought that beyond some decent first whacks at waarranging would lie a decidedly very competent composer. Like, he even leitmotifed Sweet Board and I didn't notice it like a dumbass common bumpkin loser boy, on top of creating a catchy-ass theme tune. Serious props to that guy. 
I remember telling mah boi that I was so impressed with what I heard that I was literally no longer internally opposed to having someone else encroach on my turf. 'Cause this shit was dope, and I'm glad to've had the privilege of getting to arrange it beyond what I started with.
AS for my end of the work, here's this. uh
So, I got the final export for the finished MIDI on the 29th or so. I didn't reeeeally bunker down on it until last night, though. The only real changes I made besides adding and rearranging the instruments in certain places were probably utilizing a revolutionary-for-me-and-MS-anyway system that makes the process of adding Preset Events SOOOO much more efficient and somehow managing to fit ALLLLL of this song into a mere 7 channels-- six if you don't really count that Oomph square (and I don't) I used to boost the 16000 freq. range-- and tbh that's pretty amazing for what all's here. I feel like a clever boi righ' bou' now.
