Cascade Cave Zone, Act 2 (Menu, Variation 3) - Dr. Robotnik's Ring Racers

The desire to do something profound, perhaps a moment inspired by a very beautiful film of 1970 by Ugo Tognazzi and Senta Berger "Cuori solitari" Set in Laveno in a beautiful villa on Lake Maggiore...

Ogni volta che ti penso (Sentimental mood vers.)

A Lo-Fi Jazz collection presents 58 carefully crafted tracks that explore the intersection of classic and contemporary sounds. Featuring unique instrumental combinations including synthesizers, Hammond B3 organ, concert harp, marimbas, strings, and world instruments, each track is designed to create sophisticated background ambiance for discerning venues. The collection maintains a perfect balance between innovation and accessibility, never overwhelming the space while adding layers of musical interest.

Mellow stories

“CALYORIS” unfolds like a dream painted in light and shadow, a delicate balance of lo-fi textures, cinematic atmospheres, and soulful undertones. With its gentle flow at ~74 BPM and an airy tonal center in A, the track feels like drifting through glowing auroras that dissolve into velvet dusk. The wide stereo field and rich dynamic range (33 dB) allow every detail to breathe, while the -15 LUFS loudness keeps the sound warm, intimate, and organic.

It is a piece that bridges introspection and cinematic scale, perfect for late-night reflection, studying under dim lights, or simply sinking into a timeless moment. CALYORIS is both meditative and expressive, carrying the listener between fragile calm and radiant bursts of color.

First stage of this awesome fangame. It's out and you can play it now*; we're making a 2012 special edition with an original score for SAGE 2012.

I went with a Sonic CD vibe for this one, with emphasis on clouds and rain.

Rivulets - For Hilltop Heights Act 1

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g7Z9whouusI

Act 2 of the first Zone of this awesome fangame. It's out and you can play it now*; we're making a 2012 special edition with an original score for SAGE 2012.

In many ways Rivulets (Hilltop Heights Act 1 music) is iconic of Before the Sequel as a whole - It's the first piece of music (other than the title screen) that people will hear, and it sets the mood of the game as 'something wildly different from the typical Sonic experience' (as opposed to starting with a Green ____ trope for example).

For Act 2, I decided to retain a lot of familiarity with Act 1's music. I think this should help that feeling of 'a new adventure' to fully sink in, while at the same time building up the intensity level.

p.s. This track has arguably the most recognizable Sonic music cameo so far out of all the stuff I've done for BTS. :V

4) Suddenly Grandia
5) fffffffffffffffffffffffffff :(

Before the Sequel - Title Screen

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=92s47PQNw8Y

Act 3 of the first Zone of this awesome fangame. It's out and you can play it now*; we're making a 2012 special edition with an original score for SAGE 2012.

If Rivulets (Act 1 music) was characteristic of Before the Sequel as a whole, and Downpour (Act 2 music) built on it, this track would be a step towards building expectations for the OST in general. I wanted to, early on, expose players to the full range of genres that could be represented in the soundtrack and dissuade any preconceptions on what a 'retro'-style game had to sound like. Sonic CD was 1992 and its two OSTs fit so well with the game despite it being 224p 16-bit fare.

This was an interesting track to work with. I discovered halfway through working with Act 2's music that the rap I was working with actually mentioned "Rainbows" and "Prisms"- a fact that I didn't know when I was just using its chorus "Feel the Beat" section for Act 1. It worked alongside the orchestral-ish rendition perfectly for Act 3's lighter mood. Kinda funny how things turn out.. ;p Despite the rain being gone, I still get a very chilly vibe from the overall zone coloration (nevermind that it's really Hilltop Zone tiles in the foreground). Hopefully the music conveys that well.

I also threw in Green Hill again like I did with Act 2, except as a feature rather than a hidden easter egg. Musical quotes from Sonic music is going to be another staple for this OST, as it really is my homage to the franchise in general.

Prismatic - For Hilltop Heights Act 3

Went back to an old remix and revamped it, overall enjoyed the result.

Made using: FM8, Roland D-50

Green Grove Zone Act 1 (Saturn) - Sonic 3D Blast [FM/Genesis Mix]

It's no big secret that Be Cool, Be Wild, Be Groovy from Sonic Adventure is a thinly veiled homage to the flashy guitarists of this generation, specifically mimicking Satriani's Satch Boogie. For this boss I decided to emulate that, by mimicking Steve Vai's Juice. By mimicking a song I in fact mimic another song. How about that?

Due to the short-ish length of the boss there's not much form to this one, just an all-out funfest right from the start. Enjoy.

Guitar solo ft. Ethan Lee.

Meet the Fat Man - For Rocky Ride Boss Act

Circumstance - Opening

After getting separated in Hill Top, one of the heroes arrives at Festival Night a bit late to the party.  They'll have to take the backstage route to meet up with everyone else, who are currently on the main stage dealing with some shenanigans.
