Resurrected from an XM that I made for competing at Remedy 1995. I think it came in second. 

I wanted to give this song a fresh take, since the original arrangement had some dodgy samples, an awkward groove and a pretty shitty mix.

I like this version better.

After 'To Mind, To Mind' in 2024, the project took on new life and evolved into a double remix album. The first half, 'To Mind, Rethought', revisits the original's vocal tracks from a fresh angle, exploring new genres. The second, 'To Mind, Rewind', leans into a vaporwave-inspired sound, turning familiar moments into something hazy, nostalgic, and warped.

Since The 8-Bit Guy sort of challenged me to come up with something on the B. Meowsic keyboard he reviewed here (https://tinyurl.com/y94cuwks), I had to respond (as I don't know when I'll be able to make another visit to the US this year). So here it is, The B. Meowsic Keyboard Song.

The keyboard itself is practically impossible to play on (without spending ages on getting every take right) so I took the liberty to sample the sounds from the keyboard and allow some light processing (layering sounds, lowpass filter to create some  bass sounds, compression and effects (delay, chorus and reverb)). The drum loops were slowed down as much as possible, then I sampled what I could of the separate drums being played. Unfortunately there were no separate crash cymbals, and the entire keyboard operates close to 22.05 KHz so the entire sound palette is a little muffled, but hopefully it sounds nice nonetheless. :)

You can download these samples here and play with them yourself: https://tinyurl.com/ycq6eqmd
(some slight adjustments of the sample start points may be needed to get the attacks right)

Kittens Away (The B. Meowsic Keyboard Song)

This is a cover of "Downpour" by Purely Grey. Original track is available here: https://chiptuneswin.bandcamp.com/track/downpour

Chips=FLIPPED is a compilation of arrangements by VGM artists - each selecting a different song form the ChipWIN discography. 

I was tasked with mastering Volume 5 of Chiptunes = WIN, and as soon as we heard "Downpour", we knew it had to be the first track. It was great to hear a downtempo edge of something like Failure in chiptune form. Failure is one of my favorite bands. I had to do this.

In this instalment of game music done on old gear, it's time to tackle Tyrian 2000! A brilliant piece of game music from the famous @Alexander Brandon who made such classics as Jazz Jackrabbit 2, Deus Ex, Unreal and many others. This has also been featured on @LGR and it seems the majority out there favours the Adlib version to the MT-32/SC-55, so it was with a bit of trepidation I started working on this, trying to keep it up to standard with what people love about it out there.

Initially I set out to do the intro music too, but landed on just the "Tyrian - The Level" segment which seems to be the most recognised theme from the game. As with all the other songs in this series, I also opted for some extrapolation and added a little more parts and extended the song - the original is after all only 24 measures on endless repeat, which would have become a bit boring for 3.5 minutes.

All the sounds are from the KORG M1Rex, the expanded module version of the classic M1 keyboard. Everything was recorded part for part and bit for bit, which took a substantial amount of time when trying and failing as I went along. Some extra processing in form of EQ, compression, chorus, delay, and reverb were added. The M1Rex doesn't have a ride cymbal, or at least a proper one that could be used, so there is a little Roland TR-707 ride at the last rounds of the theme.

Big thanks to Alexander Brandon for his great work. Check out his channel (https://www.youtube.com/user/AlexCBrandon) and website Funky Rustic (https://www.funkyrustic.net).

And as always, thanks to my trusty Patreons and fans for your support.
