Air Zonk - Pock'n Stadium (Stage3) [YM2612]

This is not the version of the song that was submitted to BotB. I had to tweak most of the instruments to get the VGM file to play back correctly, which made the song sound noticeably different. I'll be uploading the VGM render as a separate song.

Clash of Deities

VGM render of the song, without all the fancy synth stuff that breaks VGM playback.

Clash of Deities (VGM ver.)

An arrangement of the main theme to the game The Legend of Valkyrie (Valkyrie no Densetsu, ワルキューレの伝説) for Orchestra and rhythm section (drum kit, bass guitar, and FM synthesizer). Written in collaboration and under the guidance of producer Justin Khan.

-Post from other social media-
New arrangement! This is a re-imagination of the main theme from "The Legend of Valkyrie," originally released on the PC Engine (TurboGrafx-16), blending a full orchestra with a modern rhythm section in a shuffle feel (rhythm section includes drum kit, bass guitar, and FM synth).

🎤 This project also marks a new recording milestone as the first time I've recorded in stereo! While my trusty mono Shure SM7B served me well for over a decade (!), I felt I was missing a certain depth in my recordings, particularly for string instruments 🎻. I’ve recently begun recording with a pair of Neumann KM 184 microphones, which have truly overdelivered in enhancing the depth of my recordings while also encouraging me to break out of SM7B-specific habits——not everything was meant to be close-mic’d haha😂. For once, I feel encouraged to record just a little further away to capture more ambience, and never had I thought to consider vertical positioning with my previous mic (higher positioning seemed to cause excessive scratchiness, supposedly related to f-hole direction)

~this said, the SM7B will still be my go-to for up-close horns and vocal recordings when I need that tight studio sound😚🎺

My style / genre is based on combining rock, electronic, and orchestral elements.

My inspiration for getting into music comes from the Castlevania and Final Fantasy series.
