Truck-Like-Call (A2300117)

Something different. Crazy samples made with BFXR. Also used SFXR and FamiTracker.

It's been so long since I made this that I don't remember much about working on it besides making the KeySplits for W and Mona's vocals. Making bounce loops for Mona and mapping each sample to where it sounded good proved quite challenging, but I like how her vocals turned out quite a bit. 
Also, just like the real game, Wario's vocals this time are totally different from those seen with the Week 6 covers. That had more to do with the fact that I actually pitch-mapped them rather than using the real WL4 KeySplit. Like with Mona, Wario's vox come from WW: Mega Party Game$.

...Just now, I spent a good amount of time updating the mix. I did some EQ'ing & mixing, mostly. I put M&W in separate DirectWave's, for one. Made the Drop's hi-hat less garish. 
I brought the old marimba channel back in to some degree, because it draws a little too much attention to itself if you're taking the vocals into consideration. It'd be fine if it were an instrumental. 
Not sure how well the changes I did to the drums' EQ go over. I should really make different channels for them so I can give them that extra bit of attention.

M.I.L.F. (Mona Is Late, will Fire)

SpongeBob, you silly ol' sponge. Try using your Vampire Killer!

Got the idea for this when I thought about the similarities between Hx-1 and the Bloodlines Guitar. My original motivation was wanting to do something with said incredibly sick guitar. 
Actually, I don't really know if my motivations were as tangible with this one as some of my other covers. I just wanted to do it 'cause it's freaking cool.
That *was* why I ended up going with SuperSponge sounds, though, was the Hx thing.

Image was a background from the Archive dump of SuperSponge. It was chosen at random, because my Explorer doesn't like generating image previews, these days. SO, I'm glad it was a winner. 'Put a smile on me face.

Update Mar. 2022: Amplified the master volume.

Bloodlines (SuperSponge Mix)

Original score by ClassicMan: https://musescore.com/classicman/scores/148469

Skelux asked on Twitter what music the Piano should play when you get close (a la Piranha Plant's lullaby, I presume), and I suggested some kind of menacing solo piano piece. 

After I looked up 'spooky solo piano pieces' online, I found a list which reminded me of this song. I went and found a download for a piano-only rendition of the piece, and made a mockup of what it'd sound like in Mario 64 in FL.

This excerpt from Totentanz isn't exactly the doom and gloom I was originally imagining, but it's not too high energy, feels spooky, and has a similar melodic cadence to PirPlaLullaby's, like a Dark Twin of sorts.

'Toadentanz' Excerpt (Mario 64 Soundfont)

This is one of my first experiments with the amazing Famitracker, a sound tracker made for creating NES/Famicom music.
Very useful and funny to create Videogames music but also for reinterpret every genre of music.

I've been loving Queen since my childhood, and I totally go crazy for Brian May's overlapping guitar style. "Procession" is one of the most amazing album intros ever. So this is my "chiptune tribute" to one of the greatest bands in the multiverse.

Enjoy! ^^

Procession (Queen COVER on FAMITRACKER)

ロマンスしたい

--6 channels were used only, no percussion mode.--

I like this song solely because it is in an odd time signature; 10/8 is pretty strange but it does sound hella good.

Despite this being able to run on almost any YM2413, I made this using the Famicom's VRC7 chip, which is a trimmed-down YM2413, which itself is a cost-reduced YM3812. Crazy, huh.

Anyway, I hope you enjoy this! Shoutouts to @YobaHere for helping with some chords.

Undertale - Here We Are (FM Synth Remix)

Entered into Weeklybeats for week 3, as well as Battle of the Bits: Winter Chip XI, ranking 150th/256. Nothing too crazy, just a simple, lonesome piece inspired by gray, gloomy weather.

Famitracker VRC6 expansion, no DPCM.

Blank Stare Through The Window

Not much to say on this one really. It was a completed track I had lying around that I forgot to upload :). It's pretty decent. Enjoy! 

Night Pulse.MP3

An old track that mostly consists of samples from Windows 3.11 to Windows XP.

Made for the SiIvagunner Youtube channel over about four hours.

Crazy Noisy Bizarre Town - Mega Man Style [Famitracker 2A03]

This is one of the few soundtracks I composed directly for Infogrames. They used it twice, first in "Martian Alert!" and one year later in "Martian Revenge". The games were also named in other countries "Alert!" and "Marvin Strikes Back!"

Note that the names I've set are the originally intended, not the actual stages of the game.

More like "Heart of BITS"... eh? ehhh??

Made through Famitracker using the VRC6 module in probably less than 12 hours. I actually started working on this a month or so ago, but I just sort of gave up on it after like 5 minutes. Today I ran into it again on my laptop and decided "eh... why not?" so I cranked the rest of it out throughout the course of today. Blondie has to be one of my favorite early new wave bands alongside The Police, so this was a fun one to work on. Hope you all enjoy it! Let me know what you think in the comments, and if you liked this one then feel free to check out my other 8-bit covers and compositions in the above playlists.

Cheers!

Blondie- Heart of Glass (8-bit chiptune remix)

Remake of Borderline. I hear this song a lot on the radio while driving. I mostly just used Dexed VSTi and some drum samples.
