On this month's episode of RAFter Dark, the crew learn about a very particular kind of cross, go down a Wikipedia rabbit-hole about former PlayStation mascot Kevin Butler, and discuss which terrible video game movie they should watch next.

RAFter Dark - Scandalous Crosses and Wikipedia Rabbit-Holes

Save State: Memory Leak is the second album in Baychimo’s Save State series, an ongoing exploration of music inspired by the worlds and sound design of retro video game consoles such as the PlayStation, PlayStation 2, Dreamcast, and Nintendo 64.

With Memory Leak, Baychimo delves deeper into the early-2000s aesthetic of demo discs and startup screens. Those mysterious, half-forgotten soundscapes that lived between menus and game previews in yesterdays polygon worlds. Moving beyond the jungle and breakbeat focus of the first Save State release, this album ventures into new sonic territory, blending atmospheric drum & bass, trance, acid, lo-fi ambient, and other retro styles.

The result is an album that feels like rediscovering a lost folder of game music from games like Soul Reaver, Ape Escape, Mega Man, Tekken Tag Tournament, Spyro The Dragon, Galerians, Oddworld, Tomb Raider lll, Wipeout, Ridge Racer and much more. A reflection of an era when gaming soundtracks felt surreal and other-worldly.

Huge thanks and shout out to everyone who listened and supported the first release "Save State: Expansion Pack" and for helping bring this second release into the world.

Big thank you to Sweet Chunk for releasing the first album and UPM for using my tunes. Hope a lot more Save State and other releases may come out in the future.

Galera, eu fiz o mashup do levels x vaza daqui do super mario world do avicii x pris elias, é exatamente isso, então é isso galera, eu espero que tinha gostado dessa música

SMW Levels X Vaza Daqui (Mashup)

Don't really care too much about this one. I was into it at the start, but not so much at the end. I suck at writing drums so gonna work on that in the mean time (plus work on mixing better too).

Aspertia City - Pokemon Black-White 2 Lofi Remix

Liberators on the Horizon

I'll be so honest, this song very barely belongs on this album.  It has like, 3 measures of 7/4 in the middle, but other than that, it's completely in 4/4.  However, it's sisters to the track Dedededede, as both use KIrby VSTs, so I couldn't split them apart.

While this song doesn't have much going for it rhythmically, harmonically, it's got some cool stuff going on.  The chords at the beginning are #11 chords that use chordal planing to move around.  I'm very proud of the counter point that goes on in the beginning of the piece, but the weird chords mean that it definitely doesn't follow the rules to a T.  At the end, I tried doing some polymetric melody overlapping to make it sound like kirby suddenly entered a jazz drum circle.

Due to work schedules, Sunny runs it solo this week whilst travelling to San Diego for WWE. Apologies for the audio.

We Xbox, Take The PlayStation - FPS: A PlayStation Podcast Ep: 257

For the seventh track on Girl Math, we have Dedededede, named because its main theme reminded me of King Dedede's theme, and for the section that uses the Kirby Super Star OST.


Depending on how you hear how fast the beat is going, the hook is either in 6/4 or is made up of a phrase of three measures of 4/4.  Then, it alternates with a section of 5/4 until the main section comes in with a traditional drum and bass rhythm in 4/4.  The weird time signatures come back for the kirby section.

For this song, my goal was to use As Many Horns As Possible, because I tend to not use them in my other songs because I usually don't like the sound of MIDI horns.  There's two instances of non-midi horns, being the fire engine horn that plays right before the drop, and the horn that plays the King Dedede-esque melody over the top of the main line.
