Let you

better than you thought

It took me a surprisingly long time to figure out what song I wanted to cover next, but I ended up settling with this. Tomoya Ohtani is a really good composer, and it shows in his works for Sonic Runners. I wanted to choose something that was on the shorter side, and the invincibility theme of the game gave me that length while also introducing me to new challenges to work with. The percussion rising and falling part towards the second half of the song was hard to figure out, but I came up with a way to make it work, and making all the instruments fade out and back in in tune with the song was also surprisingly easy. I tried matching the EDM feel of the song, but the strong percussion might make it more rock-y. Just as I was finishing the cover, I found a way to tie the guitar and piano even more together than they already were. All of this lead me to a cover that... I think sounds pretty good. Really good, actually.
I don't know what I'll work on next, but I'll try to come up with something soon. I really like furnace a lot, though I do miss famitracker a little... Maybe I should consider going back there, but after I make something original on Furnace.
At any rate, thank you for listening! I might cover more songs from this game in the future! For now, though, please stay tuned!

Hostage Extraction is a track I wrote using Deflemask for the recently released YM2017 music album which released on a physical Sega Genesis cartridge from Catskull Electronics! Many entered a contest to be on the album - but only 9 tracks were ultimately selected - and mine was one of them!

Hostage Extraction (YM2017) *700 Follower Special!*

This is my Round 3 submission from Idol 9; basically, the requirements this time were that you had to port a song from a game (and only from a game, so no compositions allowed), but unsampled, so it's definitely one of the most fair rounds. Since you can't really get much from SMW's shit samples tho, it was a lot harder to do something good with it... or so I've thought, because honestly I can't believe how well this worked out even now lmao; seriously, everything here worked so wonderfully well that it's scary O.O (it doesn't even sound like it's fucking unsampled for god's sake, hooooooly shit)

I got third place on this one, which was damn nice; then again, most of the people who were losing all the other rounds got pretty damn far here too, and that was honestly really nice lol

I used two MIDIs for this btw, the one that's in VGMusic and one which was made by a Japanese dude that I found on a Japanese website; mostly because the second MIDI, which I was using as a base, had a few innacuracies, and it was a bit hard to fix them, so I had to use the first MIDI as a bit of a reference lol








(also yes, Mario and Luigi are t-posing, why? don't ask)

This track was written for the 'ChipWINter Wilderness' compilation and marks my first foray into drum & bass. Written entirely in Famitracker using VRC6, then recorded off an actual Nintendo Entertainment System using a PowerPak.

Please please PLEASE check out the rest of the compilation, direct linked below. It's seriously full of incredible tunes with a real diversity in style from so many talented artists.
