Cool Tracks to Travel to

Esoteric Mashups

This is a collection of my own mashups; I made this playlist specifically for @user-560335128-325711990, so that he wouldn't accidentally play any "sissy, girly music," while he was at work. The tracks on here are all free of extremely big jumps in volume and are, for the most part, normal mashups. That said, some of them contain harsh language, so I wouldn't exactly call them "Safe for work," much less "Safe for School."

After half a year of VGM covers and experimental chiptunes, I decided to bring back FamiTastik and gauge my learnings during these months. Following the spirit of Vol.1, FamiTastik Vol.2 is a collection of stories yet untold and sceneries yet unseen narrated through videogame music.

Thank you all who have supported me and my music during these times. (◕‿◕｡)

~~~~~~~~~~~~

~Is this the beginning of a long journey with FamiTastik? Who knows, we'll see.~

Music made entirely with Dn-FamiTracker using the VRC6 expansion chip (without using any samples in the DPCM channel) and no post-processing whatsoever, apart from some gentle volume leveling and limiting. The .nsf file containing all of the compiled tracks is included with the album.

Nintendo + Gradiente (Playtronic) Commercial (SMW Version)

I've been thinking of this pun for the past couple of months, and I finally have the chance to capitalize on it. For the record, "suture" is pronounced something like "soo-chuh" or "soo-tre," so I promise that the pun makes sense phonetically. Sorta.

And yes, I know that this isn't a very complicated or glamorous mashup, but I've been spending time with family again and I'm trying to be in the moment, so this is just about the best I could do. Besides, I'm pretty sure nobody has done this before (on Soundcloud, at least), so I'm technically breaking new ground here. Well, as much as a mashup can ever be "breaking new ground," I guess.

Thank you for always being so cool and willing to put up with my silly hobbies, mom. I hope this mashup was worth the effort! It was a bit of a nightmare matching BPMs with Drum Trip - which is the backing drum track - but I think I got it to mostly work out.

I'm generally content with the state of this mashup, after having been stuck on the ending for around 3 weeks. I'm still not super happy about the ending bit, but I figure that my mom won't hold it against me too much, haha. On the other hand, I am pretty happy with the cover art. I dunno, the idea of having a "forest" made of nails and screws that have been driven into the ground seems like something that some enterprising band would use as an album cover. Maybe even Rusted Root, who knows. (Hey, if anyone in Rusted Root sees this, I'm currently living in Pittsburgh. Hit me up if you want me to make your next album cover. :p)

I made this mashup for my Mom :)

Thanks to @englishnarwhal for giving some feedback on this mashup before I published it...although after what I'm about to say, maybe they won't want their name associated with this thing. :p

Look, I know that it's none of my business what people call themselves, AND I get why people might describe sex as "breeding," since breeding is formally defined as sexual reproduction between nonhuman animals. And sex and libido, being culturally perceived as primal and instinctual, are easy to think of as animalistic activities. So I get why people would say it - it makes sense, thematically, in a "I wanna fuck you like an animal" sort of way.

But breeding is, like, usually used to describe when people control which animals mate with others to develop offspring with specific, desirable qualities. Ignoring the fact that human breeding is also known as eugenics, I feel like calling yourself breedable is taking away your own agency around sex; it's like saying "do with me what you will, I'm an animal." And look, I get that those kinds of things turn some people on, but personally that just seems, uh, really screwed up. In calling someone "breedable," it feels like like saying "say goodbye to your self-respect and dignity, because your sex life, body, and offspring, are no longer yours to control." I know it's a bit of a hyperbolic interpretation, and I'm sure most people are only saying it for the meme, but it still makes me a little uncomfortable. Maybe I'm just too closed-minded, I dunno.

Anyways, that's why this mashup uses "Closer" as its backbone. More news at 8.

Honestly, not a fan of people unironically self-labelling as "Breedable"

Two things to get out of the way first: thanks to @assorted-interests for previewing this track before I released it to ensure it didn't sound terrible, and credit to Santiago Hunson on Youtube for doing the opposite version of this same mashup before me. (I hadn't realized someone had executed this idea until a couple of days before I finished it, so I'd say it was an example of convergent evolution in mashup-making.) You can find a link to their version of the mashup here: 
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2vPsiGFBnkk

Also, the idea for this mashup came from the same place that most of my best mashup ideas come from: me lying listlessly in my bed at night trying to fall asleep, with my mind racing (ha). I thought of the mashup idea and then the title in rapid succession, and I'm fairly sure I said "HOLY SHIT" out loud when thinking of the title in particular. Then I ran to my computer to write it down and, with that done, headed back to bed. Funny, that's actually the same way that my previous mashup was made, except I opted to write the idea down on a piece of junk mail lying on my desk. Not the shitpost, mind you, the actual mashup - the "not a fan of the word breedable" one. You know what I mean.

I'm not sure if anyone thinks the title is as funny as I thought it was, but I hope you enjoy the mashup anyways. These two songs feel like a match made in heaven honestly, I think it'd be hard for me to screw that up.

Life Is A Freeway

I've said it before, but I'll say it again: happy belated birthday (is it belated?) to @user-228977232! I hope you like this version better than the first one.

On that note: anyone who's been on my account for a while will recognize that I've already made this mashup before - in fact, it was the mashup I made for last September 21st. Why did I remake it? Well, for one, I'm out of ideas. But more importantly, I liked the original idea a lot, but I didn't have a great way of isolating the vocals and instrumental when I made it the first time, so the vocals sounded kind of crap in that version. Now, with the power of Machine Learning models, I bring you...this version! It may or may not be better, according to your taste.

(Oh, and I should mention that @aslightthreat has made a similar version of this idea recently, and I think it sounds cool. Go check it out! https://soundcloud.com/aslightthreat/sleeptember)

First thing's first: thanks to @englishnarwhal for reviewing this track before I published it to give me some feedback! It's always appreciated, man.

So, I don't really know what's going on in Arcuria's (@avonae) Sky Struck series, at least not plotwise. There are people with magical powers? And an alternate race of furries in space? It's a lot like JoJo's Bizarre adventure, far as I can gather, and there's a funny clock man with a hat who is the best character (fight me). What I am sure of is that there's a surprisingly large female cast, and that female cast tends to be well-endowed and either showing a reasonable amount of skin or having clothes that are quite...form fitting, I think would be the best description. Hey, Arcuria knows what sells; it's no coincidence that https://soundcloud.com/skystruck/154-mitchie-jooru-kitsy-chr is the most commented track in the entirety of the first chapter of the series. 

Anyways, all of that aside, the music SLAPS - there are some real earworms in the soundtrack, like "CLOUD," the song that forms the backbone of this mashup. If you're into quality VGM, give the soundtrack a listen! And if the bangers in the soundtrack won't entice you to tune in, perhaps the hangers in the soundtrack will. (Look, it's a joke in bad taste, I agree, but my brain wouldn't let me not make it. I'm sorry.)

College & Electric Youth - A Real Hero (16-Bit Cover)

An attempt to make sort of weird off-kilter post-90s sampler-heavy music like the kind used in ENA - Extinction Party, just to see if I could do it.

I was trying to make something which sounded like Graham Kartna or Oliver Buckland but my extremely extremely strong upbringing in Magic Schoolbus Games probably coloured the sound a lot. There's probably some American McGee's Alice in there, and a tiny bit of the NiGHTs series.

Also if you really want authenticity: here it is, as a μ-law–encoded 8-bit mono wave file, just like MS Kids® would've wanted it.

Direct Lounge (ENAwave)

This song is now officially done. Shoot me if I go back and edit it again.

Less weird sampler edutainment stuff and more late ps1 stuff now. Video's coming but it's bigger than the first one, and I got a freelance gig which is taking up some time.

I'd make a version of this song where it's a .PSF file except I can't imagine how I'd even get started. Was it just like old .MOD sequencer stuff or what? If I could even get the technical specs of how the songs were assembled I might be able to put together a facsimile of some kind.

Just somebody that posts whatever terrible jokes come to mind. Sometimes I'll post original work, but expect mashups and memes for the most part.

I'm doing my best to limit my internet usage, so I probably won't be here too often, but I'll try to respond to any messages I get when I get around to it.

Unless stated otherwise, all thumbnails and art on my profile (excluding reposts, of course) are my own work. Ballpoint pens, pencils, Sharpie markers, a good eraser, paper, and patience are my tools, and they've served me well. (There's also a bit of digital touch-up after scanning the drawings in, but that's less interesting to talk about.)

Take care!
