Castlevania: Portrait of Ruin - Invitation Of A Crazed Moon [Revision]
Today's revision might be one of my favorite Castlevania tracks!

The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess - Faron Woods
Hello again everyone, it's been quite a while! My computer is finally back from getting repairs. It took quite a bit longer than I expected, but it's now outfitted with a fancy new hard drive. However, I'm still encountering a problem where my computer sounds like a mini chainsaw whenever it's running. The repair shop thought it was a hard drive issue, but now I'm not so sure. If there are any experts out there when it comes to Mac internals, here's a short recording of what the buzzing sounds like.It's such a relief...

Pokémon Diamond & Pearl - Champion Cynthia [Revision]
Hello again! Thank you for your patience as I got this track out during the last few days of January. I won't lie, this month has been extremely hectic. I've been looking forward to this revision for a while; it may be one of my favorite Pokémon songs! Here's the breakdown:0:00 - Immediately, things are different because I added Cynthia's intro theme to the beginning. It may be sacrilegious to have this part in any other instrumentation than piano, but I wanted this to lead into the proper battle theme as smoothly as possible. ...
Chrono Trigger - Peaceful Days
Happy January everyone, I hope it's been good! Chrono Trigger has always been an intimidating game for me to cover because each song in its soundtrack is an instant classic. The pressure's on to do it justice! This track in particular was very hard to get sounding right due to its flowing and lyrical nature. I'll explain a bit about what I mean in the breakdown:0:00 - In this sparse, folk-y intro I have a collection of wide-panned acoustic guitars and dulcimer, with piano and celeste way up high. The rest of the ensemble comes in fo...

Undertale - Snowdin Town [Revision]
Happy almost Christmas folks! I have a lot of cookies to bake today so let's quickly get into this revision's breakdown:0:00 - For the most part, this track doesn't loop! As is often the case with Undertale (and Zelda) music for me, arrangement ideas just flow in naturally while working. Maybe it's because I'm more familiar with the source material compared to the other games I work on? Anyway, this piece starts off with its characteristic Piano/Xylophone. I used an old MIDI xylophone for this track because it just fit the v...
Pokémon Diamond & Pearl - Route 216
Happy imminent Holidays everyone! Today's track is a perfect pairing for the beauty of winter and the frantic energy of the holidays. Songs with stark volume shifts like this one can be a nightmare to mix. Here's the breakdown:0:00 - Immediately I wanted to lean into the more ambient qualities of this first section: I added a subtle pad and replaced some of the echoed percussion with some drowned-out tambourines and sleigh bells. To me a lot of classical holiday music can be characterized by chorale-style brass arrangements, so the begi...

The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past - Boss Battle (Anger of the Guardians) [Revision]
Don't you just love the alternate aLttP track title names? No clue where they came from initially. Much like my Tal Tal Heights revision from earlier this year, today's arrangement follows in similar footsteps: the structure of the original arrangement remains mostly the same, but the instruments are given a much needed update. Here's a brief breakdown:0:00 - Over time my arrangements have been getting much, much closer in terms of space. A lot of my old covers try to mimic large washed out concert halls, but that's just a style...
Super Mario RPG - Fight Against Smithy
The Super Mario RPG Remake is almost here! We're probably gonna see a ton of amazing covers from VGM folks in the near future. :) I have such a fun time covering "weird" music, some of my favorite instrument combos includes squelchy basses, bitcrushed synths, and mellotrons. I use this same sort of template for my Earthbound covers! Here are my thoughts this time around:0:00 - This song is a slightly disjointed mishmash of textures and ideas, so I wanted my instrumentation to reflect that. Most of the instruments used here are detun...

Undertale - Bonetrousle [Revision]
Happy almost Halloween! Here's this month's revision track. (Of one of my top 5 most popular arrangements to date!) Occasionally when I offer a revision like this up to vote for I get a little intimidated - since this is such a well known track I feel like the pressure's on to do something special. For this breakdown I'm going to compare and contrast my new arrangement and the version I made in 2018. You can listen to the old one here!0:00 - My preferences for space and positioning have changed a lot over the past 5 years. In Bo...
Sonic Heroes - Mystic Mansion
Happy Spooky Season Gamers! I'm extremely excited to share this piece with you all.I've been really enjoying experimenting with some funkier arrangements these past couple of years, and I feel like I've finally reached a point where I'm comfortable writing/producing in that genre. As someone whose current job is to create retro spooky/funky music, I couldn't pass up an opportunity to give that style a spin in the Sonic universe.Something I want to infodump about is one of the pieces of software I used heavily throughout this...
