All my original compositions, some better than others.

Art by my friendly acquaintance, CooperCan, of a proposed boss fight for this conceptual game of his where at one point a giant man attempts to bowl you over with ORB DUCK

Okay. So. I've realized that-- I write what I want to hear, right? Well, I'm usually so busy with that part that I can't even appreciate what little bits of genius are in there (yeah, I'm a cocksucker fuck you) until years later-- usually, it involves the percussion, talking in particular about Lasst Train Ride and Hippin' Hoppin'-- and then I look like a braggart, but hey, if it's WORTH bragging about fuck you.

Tunes by Tahu (Original Stuff)

This melody isn't even true to the dream I heard it in, but I was so terrible at figuring out if I was harmonizing or actually getting it right that it ended up like this instead. The real one was in MAJOR for crying out loud

Update: I got rid of those PMW2 anthologies and got a T H I R D of my allotted upload time back

I actually composed something, holy shit! And it isn't too long-winded and samey like Gusty Woods before it! this is a huge deal for me :D I'm pretty proud atm, and I hope that doesn't change between now and later ' - '

I also made that character design. The shutters around the eye are exactly what they look like-- flexible shutters that follow dude's pupil, which as you can kinda tell is a concave shape. The pointy parts you see are gold and shiny. The rest is a shade of blue similar to the background, and has a texture akin to somebody's tongue.

Crystal Starfish (Original Tune)

I put ToA into MuseScore and it sounded dOpE as HELL <-- GET ITTT AHSAHShhHHHAAHHAHAHA

Tower oF Asccension

Happy WAAlloween, everybody.

Also, in true WL4 spirit, those chords you're hearing were played by hand, and as such their timing will at times be ever so slightly off.

The Peaceful Villa (Wario Land 4 Tune)

Here's something that IS (yet another) Wario track. It's something original that I made a few months ago, back in like August or September, maybe.

Also fuuuuuuuuuck dude I'm almost out of minutes again.
Edit: apparently I AM out of minutes. So, uhhh, I guess I'm gonna have to go back to uploading on tahutoa for a while, or something like that, until I probably either start a third account or go pro for this one, which is also pretty likely because this is the only one that's gained any traction.

Wah Thang (Out of Minutes...?)

This one atmosphere preset for the Mother 3 soundfont is pretty dope, so when I played this series of chords on it the result was pretty mesmerizing

(that's knights' kingdom concept art for danju's province btw)

Mindy

Picture the Home Depot "plant section" but on an out-of-the-way Chinese pier late at night, with the main light source for the level being the moon's reflection in the water.

Sorry if the 40 Belotel Horror guitars in the left speaker become grating. I tried to change them to a different instrument, and it ruined that cool effect the bass had going (starting around the 23rd measure). I still think it's cool, for what it's worth.

Botany Bay Pier (Another Wah Thang)

This was for my Music Foundations final.

Named for the fact that I reused the main drum phrase from Carl's Spy Song.

Carl's Big Final

This song is in Minor key. Can you guess what song I made into a leitmotif for the second half's melody? The name of the track is the only clue you'll get-- the spelling & phonetics of it are something to note.

the tHumbnail is a drawIng i Made, based on whAt this song "looks like" to me while i was Listening to and working on it: blue, with just a dash of purple, and some dark, enigMatic object in a silhouetted foreground, rising up into the Air and curving back dowN, like a palm tree on a formless island, amidst a midnight sea stretching out into the fog.

Heist; Manila Mania

That piano chord is what inspired me to make this. What you're hearing is more or less what I heard when I first played it.
Originally made on Dec. 16th 2018.

Lasst Valley Train Ride

The alternate version.

Behind Stalagtite Falls - Lasst Valley Train Ride

I had the melody's riff stuck in my head for like a billion years, I swear to God I've heard it somewhere in the waking world before, but until I find out where, I'll be left forever wondering.
But yeah anyway I finished it and the bass yeah I fucking STOLE the Rudy riff, cause I'm a gangsta like that.

Just kidding, I'm a buster. 


...Not *textbook* buster though. 

'cause I can, in fact, hang.

Uhh Boss Theme

I've been thinking about the WL4 composer's Hip-Hop influences a lot recently, and the other day as I was falling asleep my brain formed some catchy hip-hop riff to go along with some hypothetical Eminem tune ((woahhh dude, my laptop recognizes that name in spell check)), which became the lead as it sounds during the chorus.

Edit: it actually makes a lot of sense that this accompanied an Em song, because in retrospect this "backing track" sounds Dre as fUCK, nyigga

Hippin' Hoppin'

I didn't have an explanation for what this game was initially but came up with an idea as I was thinking about the graphics I'd supposedly have for the first one.

Sci-Fi Games
"Sometimes a girl needs a little change in her life! When the rays shine from behind the clouds, that's your chance!"

This microgame involves some girl in front of a wooden fence. In the background, the full moon's rays are shining down, but being blocked intermittently by fast-moving clouds. The player can tell where moonlight is shining through, as the ground where it's currently hitting will be much brighter than places where it is not. The goal is to get enough exposure to be able to completely change before time runs out.
The more exposure you get, the faster the rate at which you transform. The further along you get, though, the slower she will move-- the rapid woodblock "tka-tka-tka" as she scuttles along gets deeper and slower as she nears her goal.

Behind the fence is the nighttime cityscape making up most of the background, completely blacked out save for the many yellow lights marking the hundreds of little windows-- you won't see too much of these buildings save for during the 3rd difficulty. 
Behind these buildings, there is a plain, dark blue background, and up at the top there are the dark clouds passing over parts of the yellow full moon. The parts of the moon left unblocked by clouds are pretty much relative to where the moonbeams can reach the player.

DIFFICULTY 1: Three gaps in the fence, the buildings on either side of the alley are about 12.5% closer together than in the second difficulty. Clouds are smaller here, so the window of time during which multiple gaps are shone through lasts longer.
DIFFICULTY 2: the buildings are a bit farther apart, and there are two gaps in the fence, one thicker, one thinner. Buildings are blue instead of green. Clouds are bigger, meaning you have less time to make decisions and must be quicker on your feet.
DIFFICULTY 3: Unlike the previous difficulties, this time the command is "DON'T Transform!" The size of the gaps in the fence far exceeds the number of planks left to block out the moon, however, to compensate the clouds move more slowly. The highlighted parts of the buildings' bricks are red.

If she fails to transform before the bomb explodes, her head drops, and rain immediately starts in. Depending on how far along she is it only gets more humorous, as her hair uncurls from the weight of the rain. At the furthest along that the player can still fail, it will reach just past her stomach (in the case of the third difficulty, this is the only hair length at which you can fail).

If the girl succeeds (red wolf, blonde wolf, raven-haired human), she will thrust her head and both arms skyward, and the player hears (my beloved sound effect, the) "WAI YAAAA~!"

"Catching Some Rays" (Microgame 2)

A hypothetical microgame, in which the sounds speak for themselves. If you listen closely both inputs have a dedicated sound effect (in this case it's the UI window sfx).

Weird Games
"Bring the BFF up to speed without letting the secret out! ...What ARE those girls talking about?"

The player assumes the role of some young girl, on her knees, chatting with a friend. They both are garbed in something similar to Lorraine Baines's main getup from BttF, the one with the bit of a puritan collar going on-- that little white collar on Creepy Suzie's garb, if that clears it up. You can't make out any of their clothes' colors, however, as the both of them are completely shrouded in darkness save for their eyes-- they are animated, but they're silhouettes.
    The light that makes their shapes known comes from a window, where outside a dog stands atop a hill (it would look something like that dog who catches the frisbee). There's a bustling cityscape behind and to the right of the hill.
    The dog's eventual howling noise (difficulties one & three) wakes up the guy sleeping in an armchair. On difficulties 1 & 2, the TV is casting light on him, so you can see when he wakes up (which helps the player to figure out what to do in time on their first run), but on difficulty 3 you can only hear him snoring and see the silhouette of the armchair. The dog also will change colors between difficulties, from white w/ a black spot on its back, to brown, to black. The dog doesn't appear for difficulty 2 (the version I made, as you can hear), and the guy wakes up all by himself.
    If you don't stop whispering in time, the signal that you failed is that the man will mirror that guy who gets a haircut, where he makes that "Hut!" sound of surprise (on difficulty 3, the man's silhouette is made known, so his expression can still be made out). The two girls' eyes will bug out as they focus on him, and pink blushes appear on their silhouettes.

"Gossip!" (Microgame 1)

Sometimes I'll doze for a sec after jerking off, and inspiration will strike. I honestly have no idea why the oxytocin causes me to very briefly go under like a fuckin' hypnotic, but anyway; it is most opportune if this happens at a time of day where I wouldn't yet be turning in for the night, because then I won't be swayed by the temptation of sleep, and can go write it up in FL (as you can probably guess, this happens when I'm going to sleep too, but the idea actually making it anywhere beyond Oblivion is a lot less likely then).

It was one such moment that brought you Hippin' Hoppin', though that time it WAS when I should've been going to bed anyway, and because it was FAR too Hip-Hop to squander, I woke up for long enough to use SoundCloud's recorder, instead of giving into temptation and being lulled to sleep by Em spitting dope but indecipherable rhymes (along with an actual high-budget ver. of Hippin' Hoppin'). 
Whereas with that track the inspired bit was the main strings phrase you hear during the 'choruses', with this track it was the Marimba. I would've been subconscious for what my internal clock calculates to be less than 30 seconds, and in that time my brain was able to supply me with 4 measures of Marimba tune that were infinitely more catchy than what I could think to come up with while fully conscious in that same time frame.

Also I don't know what this microgame would be other than an Orbulon game, but I picture a nice sort of dark velvety green with variations of the same for the color scheme when I hear this song. So here's His Master's Voice, an amusing painting I had the pleasure of viewing as it appeared in my Music History textbook. Perhaps I'll revisit this with a more fleshed out idea in due time.
((hey Spell Check, wtf is "Zebulon"?))

Forest Green Orbulon Theme (Microgame 3)

one element that I wanted to incorporate into this tune while making it was I really like tunes where they kinda fuck with you by making you think that two progressions are different but in actuality they are exactly the fucking same? That's what I wanted to do with the bassline here. All four phrases for the bass are [F#, F#, F#, B A# F#] without fail, but because of the way the brain works in conjunction with the slight harmonic heard in Deow Synth Bass's sample, each of the four phrases' F#s will sound completely different due to the counterpoint changing by the melody every measure. 

Of course, this is a post-mortem analysis, there's no way that I was thinking about this at all. Kind of like HOME and that analysis of Resonance he saw, where he was like "woah that's really cool, i didn't realize i was doing that i just thought it sounded cool"

The Court Jester (1987) Arcade OST - Title Theme

I had a neat little bass line come into my head while outside with the dog which proceeded to not translate 100% to FL's piano roll since I have no goddamn idea what I'm doing. I tried doing harmony shit but the counterpoint sucked ass so I decided to say balls to it and made that the focal point. Added some drums, a random structure change at the halfway point, and the end result is a shitty stupid little tune that would not be out of place as part of an actual WarioWare microgame set.

NHYWOOOUHHHH

A Musical Joke (in German: Ein musikalischer Spaß) K. 522, (Divertimento for two horns and string quartet) is a composition by Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart; the composer entered it in his Verzeichnis aller meiner Werke (Catalogue of All My Works) on June 14, 1787. Commentators have opined that the piece's purpose is satirical – that "[its] harmonic and rhythmic gaffes serve to parody the work of incompetent composers"[1] – though Mozart himself is not known to have revealed his actual intentions.

"Some Musical Fun" - Microgame 4

the other local ruffian dumbassmug was asked by me to transcribe a melody I'd heard in a dream and recorded but too gets queasy listening to isolated vocals to transcribe it myself, so he did it for me like a little bitch and added some generic accompaniment afterward
then he gave me two wav's for the finished product, with an extra .wav for just the lead/basic transcription, which sounded familiar to my ears but i had actually forgotten completely, so I could do something with it myself, and then I transcribed it, by ear of course because I'm fucking shit at music theory, then spent the next couple hours making it sound incredibly neat but also more disjointed compared to his version.

[from "Piss Family Robinsdaughter" (1960); Won'tiam Allose]

a thing I did write

On a remote moon, far beneath the waves, there lies an enormous steel space station, suspended some hundred miles below the murky waters' surface. Therein, experiments, observations, data collection, conducted and gathered for the furthering of scientific research.

---

Initially, when I first created it, up until solidifying the string chords I was seeing TTYD's Moon Base, but as the project started to resemble its final form this mental projection became more reminiscent of Aquatic Base from Sonic '06, and it inspired me on some subconscious level to try to keep that vibe going. I think I did pretty well. Going with the flow when composing is kind of nice, I think, as long as you have some sort of discipline in place. For me, it was having things be ever so slightly unorthodox, because fuck making generic tunes, homes. That Bass Organ is the best example of this as far as the song goes-- there were moments where I went in there specifically to make it less generic or homogeneous when compared to the other patterns of its kind. It's a bit weird-looking on a Piano Roll but it sounds rather lovely and chill, can't wait to use it as backing music for schoolwork. Fittingly enough, because reading this book as part of school was what inspired me to start making something from scratch. That EP riff was actually rather quick to come to me, but then I technically already HAVE made Creativity a Habit, and especially because I use it as a means of procrastinating.

((...That thumbnail is proof that despite how ancient it is, there are some parts of Red Faction's graphics that are still top fuckin' notch. LOOK at that ambient lighting, the murkiness-- the faintest hint of a red light over to the left. It's like Half-Life but better!))

(If you enjoy my tracks, be sure to h'whack that like, repost, and share it too.)
You've reached the home of the so-called "epic Wario" thing. I've a massive catalogue of waamixes and waarangements for yon nigras to peruse with hearty contentment, as they eat whole garlic loaves and shoulder bash their computer.

Sorry if uhhh the volume for tracks varies, or is just relatively all-over-the-place. Even though I usually keep my system vol. at 52, there have been times where I've changed it and forgot that I did, then started working on a project.

Q: Why do I use the Wario Land 4 soundfont to some capacity for so many tracks?
A: Because I love the way it sounds, obviously. Half the reason why I'll start making a MIDI in the first place is that I want to hear what it'd sound like with the Wario Land 4 soundfont.
Q: Wo, Tahutoa, youre music sure is good! :))
A: DON'T CAPITALIZE MY NAAAAAME AaRRGHKKhH IT LOOKS SO HEINOUS I CAN'T STAND ITTITTI hawhawtitits?? Thank you, though

One wonders how much of their fanbase thinks of ol' typhoidoa as "epic Wario man, *and ig some other stuff*" - the same sort of typecasting that has felled a number of UT Remix artists over the years.
