Blur - Parklife (MIDI)

For reasons only God knows, I thought it’d be a riot to recreate the BADASS bridge in Mötley Crüe’s cover of Smokin’ in the Boy’s Room via MIDI. A cover of a cover, if you will. Original (Mötley Crüe): www.youtube.com/watch?v=4oz3Wh2fnW8&t=1m20s

Mötley Crüe - Smokin’ in the Boy’s Room (MIDI; snippet)

An instrumental cover of Blur’s song For Tomorrow, rendered with a Yamaha XG keyboard SoundFont. Yeah, I know the instruments sound awful, but… look, it’s fun, okay? I can’t help my adoration for corny SoundFonts.

Blur - For Tomorrow (keyboard cover)

My take on the famous Moon theme from the NES game DuckTales.

Commissioned by a friend, this is an arrangement of the overworld theme heard in Muda Kingdom, World 2 of the Game Boy game Super Mario Land. Original: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N7Ol9YqAu6M

Super Mario Land - World 2 / Muda Kingdom (keyboard cover)

A joke cover of Blur’s Song 2 as done by an old Casio SA-10 mini keyboard.

Pokémon Channel - Yard (MIDI)

MIDI cover of the Blur song On Your Own; completion of a shelved project from last year. Original: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kQVIIWq9gIQ

This took me SUCH a long goddamn time to make, yet despite my efforts, I'm questioning whether or not it was actually worth such investment.

Blur - On Your Own (MIDI)

A (very painstakingly constructed)MIDI cover of the Brinstar stage music from Super Smash Bros. Melee. Probably my most detailed/complex composition yet. Original: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GR47lpQoPc8

Super Smash Bros. Melee - Brinstar (MIDI)

A silly thing I made in my spare time. Rather like the way it sounds, though.

Oasis vs. Green Day - Wonderwall of Broken Dreams (mashup)

An inversion of my first mashup (https://soundcloud.com/the-keymaster/oasis-vs-green-day-wonderwall-of-broken-dreams-mashup), this time with Oasis singing Green Day karaoke.

Green Day vs. Oasis - Boulevard of Broken Wonderwalls (mashup)

Something I whipped up in FL Studio out of boredom. Original: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=orryzHGysDk&t=2

Arkanoid (NES) - Game Start Fanfare (arranged)

Got a little carried away with the drums. Original: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=orryzHGysDk&t=9

Made with FL Studio 11.

Arkanoid (NES) - Round Start Fanfare (arranged)

An updated version of an old MIDI I made, this one sounding much closer to how I intended it.

Super Mario World - World 5 / Forest of Illusion (cover; arranged)

I honestly can't stop fucking around with this song. First a MIDI, then a Yamaha XG version, then an updated MIDI, and now this. Had to give it a facelift with these nice, new SoundFonts I found.

This rendition borrows elements from several performances, including:
Album version https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XznNsTJPFrM
Live at BBC Radio 1 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3ZqxFH8PeOM#t=448

Gorillaz - Clint Eastwood (instrumental cover)

Matched my instrumental cover of this song with the original studio vocals. For shits and giggles.

Gorillaz - Clint Eastwood (instrumental cover; vocal mix)

Essentially a recreation of the “Athletic” theme from the SNES game Super Mario World, using instruments I believe Koji Kondo would’ve used had he not have been limited to only an electronic keyboard.

I might further arrange this one in the future.

Super Mario World - Athletic (cover)

Cover of an instrumental B-side from Blur’s ’92 Popscene single. Although I really love the original (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dkWEjpbl-4M), it’s pretty long and a bit repetitive, so I decided to truncate the structure some (4 minutes’ worth, to be exact).

Blur - Garden Central (cover)

Had a lot of fun making this. One of the few tracks off Plastic Beach I actually like.

Gorillaz - On Melancholy Hill (instrumental cover)

Small project. Arrangement of the Vanilla Dome (World 3) map theme from Super Mario World. Original: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3suEhQUt5Us

Super Mario World - World 3 / Vanilla Dome (cover; arranged)

I found a remix package containing isolated studio recordings of each individual element of this song and decided to combine them. The tracks are all unmixed and unmastered, so the result is quite interesting when compared to the finalized album cut.

Gorillaz - Clint Eastwood (Multitrack Version)

Heard this song for the first time a few days ago and liked it so much, I decided to reconstruct it à la MIDI. Had to use the classic Roland GS soundfont for this one, and naturally, the lead synth needed to be analog brass to give it a nice, retro ‘80s feel. Original: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=89P17ngphec

Depeche Mode - Dreaming of Me (MIDI)

MIDI cover of a very melancholic Great Escape-era B-side from Blur’s ’95 Charmless Man single. Original: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MCQGBw-gLAM

Blur - A Song (MIDI)

Hey.

I’ve been away from the Internet for a while.

I dunno how many of you actually pay mind to me, so I assume this to fall on deaf ears, but I figured I'd share an unfinished MIDI cover of a piece from the 2003 anime film Steamboy. I started on it two years ago, and it was going to be my magnum opus of MIDI work, but due to circumstances I ended up abandoning it like pretty much every other project I had going on at the time. A lot of stuff has happened since then and I don't have nearly as much time to continue making music, but if you like the way this sounds, let me know in a comment and show some love with a like and maybe I'll find the motivation to complete it someday.

Steamboy - Ray’s Theme (MIDI; unfinished)

MIDI rendition of the famous Raymond Scott tune heard in many cartoons like Looney Tunes and Tom and Jerry. Did my best at making it note-for-note based on its swing version, heard here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Tdc-UU2hVrs

Raymond Scott - Powerhouse (MIDI; excerpt)

Still playing around with MIDI and loving it. This is a note-for-note (as best I can tell) remake of the brass-heavy Gooper Blooper Court BGM that plays in the Nintendo GameCube (and Wii) game Mario Power Tennis, which itself is a revisionism of the “Ricco Harbor” theme from Super Mario Sunshine.
