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.

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.

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.

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

This is probably my first song where I could tell that the inspiration came from actual pop music (particularly the band chvrches).

Also, I wrote the parts during the first 37 seconds of this song without listening to it (hence the name of the song). That was a fun exercise.

Not Listening

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

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.

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

from the screamy man album
EDIT: i forgot to mention there's no solo. sorry. the solo itself wasn't hard to transcribe but it was becoming very very tedious to transcribe drums and bass, so i brought it closer to the radio version
