This is the 3rd tune I did for Monstro Giganto, after the intro tune and the Bogie one. I started it on 9th January and I had clear in mind how it would sound! I had fun trying to make such exotic instruments! I think I drew some inspiration from a Sega MegaDrive game. Guess which one... :)
I finished the tune on January 28th.

Monstro Giganto (Original Game Soundtrack)

Mojo

Monstro Giganto OST - 06 - Mojo

This was the 4th tune I did for the game. I wanted to make something "dramatic" and thrilling at the same time, and I think the intro, in a different key, served the purpose well...
Something interesting (in my opinion) in this tune is that the chords are usually on two voices, but sometimes they're just on one, but it sounds like they're still on two. This is the kind of experiments I like doing with the SID, and that's why I almost stopped using fast arpeggios...
I finished the tune on January 24th, having started it on the 13th.

Eyeye

Monstro Giganto OST - 05 - Eyeye

This was the 5th tune I made for the game. I started it on January 14th, and I actually don't remember what I took inspiration from...
Maybe from some japanese game...
Anyway this is the kind of tune that I think fits particularly well arcade games. I had lots of fun arranging it!
The tune was finished on January 17th, but the final version was made on January 28th.

Jojo

Monstro Giganto OST - 04 - Jojo

This is the last tune I wrote for the game. I started in on January 23rd. It's probably the most complex tune I made for the game and it's the one I prefer of the lot.
This was also fun to compose and to arrange!
I can't believe it took such a short time for me to write it... In fact I finished it on January 27th!

Gorgo

Monstro Giganto OST - 03 - Gorgo

I wrote this tune on 28th December 2020, and this was probably the first tune I completed for the game. At that time I didn't know how many and what tunes were needed yet, so the first thing I did was trying to enter the mood of a "kaijuu" battle. And what was better than a sort of military march?

After completing the title track I thought that this would fit the selection screen, but eventually Antonio said that the game didn't need a selection screen tune, so this one remained unused.

Monstro Giganto OST - 02 - Extra 1 - Selection Screen (unused)

This is the first tune I made for the game. I started making it on December 27th 2020. Initially I didn't have any idea of what kind of music would fit the game, so I watched some clips from the first Godzilla japanese movies. I decided to try to make some kind of march like the "Godzilla" one, composed by Akira Ifukube, but a faster one.
I came up with the main melody the day after, after 3 failed attempts (that's my average!) but I reworked to tune many many times!

I finished it on January 30th 2021, and actually I thought it took much longer...
Finally it became a sort of ouverture, embracing many "genres", and it gave me the opportunity to experiment, once again.
For example, I did the chords on two voices (one of them is the bass/drum one) and I used some 4 notes chords without fast arpeggios (in fact only 2 notes are played and the bass).
Notice that the intro is basically the ending of the tune... :) The intro was the last thing I did for this tune... :D

A little note: one of the subtunes was meant to be the character selection tune, but finally we didn't use it.

Title Screen

This was from a short collab stint I had with Nanode under the alias 偽物1GO | Nisemono Ichigo. This was the 3rd tune and we never released it.

I  was out traveling last week and brought my M8 tracker with me. It's funny that it was the M8 that finally got me to start tracking in LSDJ. So here's something in the style of Panther Cat Animal but a bit more high res than usual.
