2024/7/19でSFCファイナルファンタジーIV発売33周年になります。
あの当時、ベースの音が見つけられずに学生の身で100万円以上もシンセを買って借金地獄になったのも、今となっては良い想い出です。
ボカロPとしてあまりに有名なtwinkledisc [Dios/シグナルP]さんが作成された素晴らしいSF45 Libraryが解決してくれました。
とはいえ、KORGの音が好きなので、基本的にはTRITON Extreme、M1の音が中心となっています。
DP11のステップ入力の練習で打ち込んでいたら結構な曲数となったので、最後までまとめ上げました。

The Music of Final Fantasy | SNES Era | State of the Arc Podcast

This is the WiiWare version of the track called "Mysterious Girl ~minus~", but higher quality than the other versions I've seen online and also manually mixed so it doesn't clip anymore.

Mysterious Girl (WiiWare version)

Our podcast breaks down the techniques of great storytelling across our favorite games, movies, literature, and music. I also occasionally upload music I've arranged or composed!

I had my first keyboard at 14 years old. I remember finding out about the concept of chords by randomly spreading out my 3 first fingers on 3 white notes with 1 white note in between not being pressed... wow! 

Then later came the interrogation, from a friend of mine, of why "the sound made when playing a chord (it was major or minor) kind of varies slowly over time...

A few years later, when I was in college, my friend who studied in electronics gave me a sheet with every 432Hz-convention's notes' frequencies in Hz. Looking at it I would notice that there seems to be simple fractions approximated by the frequencies of a major chord (by then I've gotten familiar with all 3 & 4-note chords).

Following my observations, I would then come up with the idea of making music made of notes that would be 4/3, 5/3, 5/4, 6/4, 7/4, 6/5, 7/5, 8/5, and 9/5. Mind you; I wasn't aware that the notes chosen would resemble that which I already used before on a 12Tet keyboard, 7/4 being the farthest my experiments would get me from what we get to play on a regular keyboard. I was still young, and did not even remotely considered to come to the fact that this is what harmony is actually based on.

It was only in 2011, like 13 years later, than I would one night find out about what Just Intonation is, and realize my old idea of using ratios to tune notes wasn't an original, Machiavellian, super-mastermind plan.

About 5 other years passed, before one day I purchased a new keyboard which came with Ableton Live software. I would then use that to make improvisation tracks over popular songs. It took about another year before I started producing microtonal music using FL Studio.

For 21 years I have carried my desire to make my own music without actually doing anything else than talking (and thinking) about it, like a friend of mine once pointed me out after I shared my ideas on "what I'll do when I'll make music". Better late than never...
