1-01 Opening Title I don't have very good vocal samples, but otherwise I like how this turned out. The tempo changes on the piano bit were fun to do. 24 JUN 06
1-02 The Mines of Narshe It's a very simple song, but I like it. I like the way it turned out. I debated adding a little more to the drums, but eventually decided I didn't want to add too much to it. 6 JUL 06
1-04 Locke I really like this song. And that's all I have to say about that. 28 JUL 06
1-05 Battle Yes, the guitars are fake. I'm having trouble playing along with it, so until I can pull it off, this is what you get. 20 MAY 07
1-06 Fanfare Probably the shortest song in the game. I figure since I finished the battle theme, I might as well do the fanfare to go along with it. 20 MAY 07
1-08 Kefka The theme song to one of the greatest video game villains ever. I like the contrast between the calm, almost peaceful celesta and oboe, and the dark, evil, full orchestra. 9 FEB 07
1-09 Mt. Koltz The first of my songs to use a real live instrument in it instead of just samples. It's a simple part to play, but I like how it turned out. 2 JUL 06
1-14 The Unforgiven This is one of those songs that you don't really think of when you think about the soundtrack. That's part of the reason I decided to do it. I like how it turned out. 18 NOV 06
1-15 The Phantom Forest I like the way this one turned out. It almost has a Castlevania-ish sound to it. 24 JUN 06
1-16 The Phantom Train It's creepy. 22 DEC 06
1-17 Wild West I love the way this one turned out. I mixed some regular drums (tom, kick, conga) with some african drum samples for the beat, and I like the way it turned out. 22 DEC 06
1-19 The Serpent Trench The fast part with the strings doesn't sound terribly convincing, and I couldn't really make it sound any better than what I have here, but I'm happy with it otherwise. 24 JUN 06
1-24 Decisive Battle Taken down because the more I listen to it, the more I think it sucks. Will be reuploaded when it doesn't suck. ???
1-25 Metamorphosis I added an instrument that wasn't in the original. I really like the way it turned out. 12 MAY 07
2-01 Terra This one's a fan favorite. Many of the places I mentioned this site at got responses saying they wanted to hear Terra's theme, but I didn't think I had a decent pan flute to do it. I dug through my collection of samples, and found one that was halfway decent, so here it is. 9 JUL 06
2-03 Techno de Chocobo This one was actually trickier than the others. I don't seem to be so good with making synths sound good, so it took a lot of tweaking to get this to sound good to me. Also, I didn't know about this before because I was never on chocobos enough to actually hear it, but if you let the song play through three iterations, the third has a weird sort of phone dialing thing going on toward the end, so I incorporated that into my version as well. Also, this is probably the only song I'll be doing for this project that uses samples taken from the original game. (Except maybe Kefka's laugh for part 4 of Dancing Mad. Maybe.) 27 JUN 06
2-10 Grand Finale This one was pretty fun to do. Nothing much to say about it, really. Enjoy. 9 SEP 06
2-12 Johnny C. Bad Awful name, awesome song. This is only a temporary version until I can learn how to play the guitar parts myself and keep up to speed with the song. I have the notes almost figured out, I just slip up a lot 'cuz it's going so fast. 8 JUL 06
2-14 Devil's Lab I'm kinda iffy on the synth bass I used. I like the harsh sound it has, but it's kinda striking compared to the original. Overall, I'm pleased with how it turned out, though. 22 DEC 06
2-16 ?? The goofy song that plays when goofy stuff happens. Quick ands dirty. 6 JAN 07
2-20 Another World of Beasts I really like this song. The time signature is a bit unusual which makes it fun to work with. 24 JUN 06
3-01 A New Continent My favorite of the bunch. Transcribing it close to the original sounded a bit "empty" so I added a few extra touches, including a small influence from FF7: Advent Children. 24 JUN 06
3-03 The Fierce Battle I love the way this one turned out. I may redo this one in the future with electric guitars... Not sure yet. 6 JAN 07
3-05 Dark World This is such a depressing song. Not much else to say about it. 23 DEC 06
3-06 The Day After I actually changed some instruments in this one. My oboe/english horn samples didn't sound very good in it, and neither did the flute, so I replaced them both with violins. I like how it sounds even if it's not exactly true to the original. I also spiced up the drums a bit. 22 DEC 06
3-07 Searching For Friends I got a lot of requests for this one, so I went and did it. I really like the way it turned out. There was some weird percussive noise effect in the original that I wasn't sure how to replicate, so after thinking about it, I decided to use real drums instead. I like them better anyway. 17 NOV 06
3-09 Epitaph One of the more melancholy tracks in the game. The piano is an octave lower than in the original because I thought it fit the darker mood better. I also added a good bit of reverb, to fit the atmosphere of the tomb where the song is played. 20 MAY 07
3-12 Fanatics Wow, this song sucks. One of the few on the soundtrack that does. I did it in about an hour because I knew it would be easy and I figured I might as well get it out of the way. Yes, I used some of the vocal samples from the game. Deal with it. 6 JUL 06
3-14 Dancing Mad Here it is, the whole damn thing. Until I finish the fourth part, anyway. 10 FEB 07

Corneria
Starfox
Pretty much a straight cover with mildly improved sounds. 16 NOV 06
Dream of the Shore...
Chrono Cross
A crappy rock cover. Some people like it. I admit it was fun to play, though, but the tapping part is horrid. 16 NOV 06
Happy Kingdom
Super Mario RPG
Starts out innocent enough, then I go nuts with my guitar again. I like this one better than the last one. 16 NOV 06
Password Screen
Megaman X
Another fairly straight cover, but I did a little improv with the synths in the second iteration. 16 NOV 06
Intro
Super Metroid
Yet again with the straight covering. Gave it a bit more of a beat, though. 16 NOV 06
Light World Dungeon
Zelda: A Link to the Past
See previous description 16 NOV 06
Title Screen
Mother
When the Mother 1+2 arranged album came out, I was horribly disappointed with the Mother tracks, so I decided to make my own arrangements that sucked less than theirs. This is an orchestral rendition of the title music. 16 NOV 06
Pollyanna
Mother
Same story as above. This is a rock cover of the "on your own" overworld music. 16 NOV 06
Last Boss
Sonic the Hedgehog 3
As with most of these, this was requested during a radio show a friend of mine does every weekend. The listeners will request songs and I'll take one of them and fiddle around with it. 25 JAN 07
Giygas and Pokey
EarthBound
Intro's not something you'd expect. The rest is pretty much just an enhanced cover. ROCK. 3 FEB 07
Medley
Tetris Attack
The Moon, Fire, and Forest themes Tetris Attack all in a medley of sorts. 11 FEB 07
Haunted Chase
Donkey Kong Country 2
Pretty much a straight cover made to sound better. I added some things, though, including some percussion instruments, choirs, and other. 17 FEB 07
Jungle Falls
Diddy Kong Racing
Another of my requests. I didn't change it too much, but I made it a bit more rock overall and added some rhythm guitar. Fun stuff. 23 FEB 07
The Moon
DuckTales
I love the way this turned out. A bit on the short side, but what do you expect when the original song's not very long either. 2 MAR 07
Funky Kong
Donkey Kong Country
I was just fiddling around with synths and decided to try making this song. I like how it turned out. 5 APR 07
Enter SR-388
Metroid 2: Return of Samus
Synth + guitars + drums = ROCK. 9 APR 07
Level 4
Blaster Master
Kinda dark and creepy, but I like it. Not much else to say... 12 MAY 07
Doom Castle
Final Fantasy: Mystic Quest
Technically unfinished, as I intend to redo it with real guitars later on. But for now, it's good enough. 12 MAY 07
Windmill Hut
Zelda: Ocarina of Time
I really changed this one around. Take a listen, see what you think... 12 MAY 07
LEAVE BRITNEY ALONE remix
Chris Crocker's whiny ass
Wow, something not from a game. I just threw some crappy beat together, added a synth preset on top of it, and added voice clips from what's-his-face's rant. Enjoy! 25 SEP 07
Horror Music
AVGN
AVGN put up a request for music composers for a show he was working on. He couldn't give any details or video footage since it was still in the making, but I figured I'd give it a shot anyway. This is what I came up with. It really works better in the video, though, so go check it out. 10 OCT 07
Parappa's Last Ride
Life in a Game
Daniel Califf-Glick, the creator of Life in a Game, put up a request for music composers for a show he was working on. He needed a Parappa-style rap for his show. I answered the call. It obviously takes inspiration from the Chop-Chop stages in Parappa 1 and Lammy. Check out the episode here. The show has continuity, though, so you might want to watch it from the beginning. 1 AUG 08
Good Friends, Bad Friends
EarthBound
I've been meaning to finish this ever since AnthroCon ended, in honor of the friends I saw there. I recently got a new trumpet VSTi (Miles'tone) and used it to finish this song. All the brass uses the same plugin, just tweaked a little to give it a different timbre. 7 SEP 08
