Name: Watchmaker by Michael "Skitch" Schiciano in 2016 Showcase/Reel
Duration: 9 min 33 s
Description: Another track I put together for a friend's video, this one is specifically meant to be related to/evoking the sense of a watch ticking along as passages of music flow about it.

For such a long track I was expecting to lose interest. Quite the contrary. It's as captivating as listening to a clock tick. I ought to start making music like this.

2016 Showcase/Reel

Another track I put together for a friend's video, this one is specifically meant to be related to/evoking the sense of a watch ticking along as passages of music flow about it.

This is the track I put together for A Shell In The Pit (https://twitter.com/AShellinthePit) and Tettix (https://twitter.com/Tettix) as part of the album "Rogue Legacy Reborn" (https://loudr.fm/release/rogue-legacy-reborn/pT8by). 

The album features music by 22 composers/songwriters, and covers a wide range of genres.  My particular submission was trying to take the simple tune that you'd hear every time you start a new generation...and gave it a bit of a revamp!  This featured guitar work by my friend/co-worker Bob Patterson, with everything else being sequenced and mixed by Me.  Mastering was done by Gordon McGladdery/A Shell in the Pit.

Please click on the 'Buy' button to check out the rest of the album - $10 for all 22 tracks, and if you wish to support the artists by contributing more, that'd be great!

リトルハートの冒険（Mr.LittleHeart's Adventure）

A quick remix I put together, inspired by the great Michiru Yamane's theme for the recently kickstarted 'Bloodstained: Ritual of the Night'

You can find the Kickstarter here: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/iga/bloodstained-ritual-of-the-night

Youtube version here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kvgoLkUunUs

I wanted to try and take her melodies, and put them generally in the context of an older 'Castlevania-like' sound.  Hopefully you enjoy it, whether or not you feel I hit the mark!

Software used: Steinburg's Cubase 8 Pro
Software instruments used: Plogue's Chipsounds for all instruments.

Rise Of The Night (Remix of "Theme of Bloodstained" by Michiru Yamane)

Based on "Monty on the Run" theme by Rob Hubbard from Monty on the Run for the Commodore 64

Shoutouts to @Metatronlives. I promised him I would make this when I was drunk, and I'm glad I stuck to it. Normally I'm pretty minimal with my arrangements but I tried seeing what would happen if I take the opposite of that approach. I had never heard of Monty on the Run or this song prior to this, but thanks Rob Hubbard (not to be confused with L Ron Hubbard of Scientology fame)

THANK YOU FOR 593 SUBSCRIBERS!!!!!

I don't think Monty Mole from Monty on the Run is the same Monty Mole from Super Mario World. But they share the same name.

This was my track for Successor: Final Fantasy VIII Remixed, the newest release by The Materia Collective. In an attempt to fuse pseudo-trap and pseudo-Snarky Puppy aesthetics, I was able to have the fantastic Francisco Cerda (https://franciscocerda.bandcamp.com) to lay down a synth solo for me here!

Written using Studio One 3.2 and the following virtual instruments:
Chipsounds by Plogue
Cinematic Strings by Cinematic Strings
Paradise Marimba by Orange Tree Samples

Naru, Embracing the Pulse (Remix from Ori and the Blind Forest)

I used my Yamaha PS-55 from 1983 to cover the introduction music of Ultima VI - The False Prophet. Since this keyboard has no manual or programmable percussion, I used the built-in rhumba rhythm instead.  On the second half of the song I did a little improvisation.

main theme for an upcoming game that features a guy who flies around in a hot air balloon. Prolly the longest game loop I've ever made (3 minutes)
