christmas favorites

christmas 2023

Tracks of mine that make me think about a quote made by mah boy, whether it be cause of the mixing, instrumentation, or both.
A list of tracks I.M. Proud of / favorites of the stuff I've done, if you will. Not really in any particular order; just added as I think to put them in here.

"you're a fantastic arranger mane"

It's Beginning To Look A Lot Like Christmas (Pokemon BW)

A megadrive cover of this particular arrangement (which is also where I sourced the artwork from): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7HpaODw7GD8

So in other words, a cover of an abridged cover. Merry Christmas!

Sleigh Hey !!

Stare of wonder, stare of eye
staring at that stumbling guy
Bobbing, weaving, he is leaving
To the barman, he said "bye"

Hey, it may have taken me all the way to freaking Twelfth Night, but I finally made a Christmas track that went well.

i LOVE Christmas but the past two fucking years I haven't been able to enjoy the time leading up to it, day in and day out like I want to, for IDK how long. part of the experience is listening to christmas music, which i like, but my hobby is making music & audio. and *making* stuff with christmas music usually doesn't go over how i'd like it to.
what a pain

We 3 Bits

A cover of Tear's For Fear's "Everybody Want's to Rule the World", one of my all time favorite tracks. I used the Konami VRC6 expansion chip, which i thought turned out to be  pretty great decision :D

Music from the Wander Over Yonder Season 1 holiday special, "The Gift".  Classic christmas tunes arranged for minimoog and tenor banjo.  Heavily inspired by the great Sy Mann moog record, "Switched on Santa!"

Christmas Remixes 2018

It's time to play "Guess the Source", everyone! I made the transcription myself, so no help there. ...Oh, and speaking of which, I'll betcha this is the first time anyone's made any sort of desk phone sound effect using only WL4 samples.

I'll tell you this, though: the bits of it that I copied down were literally such a pleasantry come from nowhere when I heard it, that I stopped what I was doing just to try and do something musical with it. There's just something so aesthetic about percussive organ chords accompanied by a low A being used as a "Now Dialing" tune of all things.

what's great is my laptop speaker is so awful at anything besides treble that the BandPass on Wehro is practically undetectable without my headphones.

"Now Calling: Wario" - Dial Waa

Hopefully I did a good job of translating the original song into what it would've been like had it been brought over.
Thumbnail is from an EB-styled Mother 1 remake, presumably by Tomato.
I've had the MIDI for so long I can't remember who made the original file. uhhh... james a. bloke

Battle Against a Flippant Opponent

Like hey man, bandits are pretty scary, right? 

---
I heard this in Film Class, as the main Riders' leitmotif while watching the ol' 1903 ten-minute film. The final showdown (the location of which I based the thumbnail's scenery on) had a cool addition for the finale where the bass part got fleshed out, and I wanted to do something for it at the very least.

Not sure why, but despite my not liking this one much at first, it grew on me as I worked on it.

"Massive Fähigkeit"

(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.
