Alrighty, I finished my video game soundtrack. You can download it here:

I tried to keep classic sensibilities in mind when I wrote these. You won’t hear any rockin’ club beats like you do in a lot of chiptunes. All but two of them lack a proper ending to help further that game music feel. Instead each track repeats twice and fades out. If any transitions or harmonies seem a little wonkey, it was (hopefully) done on purpose. Some songs are more successful than others in capturing that classic feel, but overall I’m very happy with this.

I’ve heard many authors state that a lot of their stories surprise them and take them to unexpected places while they’re writing them. I was always thinking “Dude, you wrote the damn thing. You of anyone shouldn't be the least surprised how it turns out.” Well, now I know what they’re talking about. The frantic nature of this project (Which was conceived and created within the span of a week) led to many surprises. I’ve done more musically on this quick release than I have on all of my normal stuff put together! Ah, well.

Thanks to everyone who sent me kind words in my other threads. I never had more fun on a solo music project than I had with this. Hope you like it! (And if you don't, that's okay, too!)

I downloaded your album. im gonna put it on ,my ipod. I cant believe you made this whole album in a week. You must have been inspired. I wish i could get a burst of creativity like that.

Thanks for the comment! I wouldn't want to work that quickly again (at least for a while), but working fast enabled me to stop thinking about each song and just crank 'em out. The end result is is a lot more fun than when I sit and stew about everything.

Just thought I'd tell everybody that I changed the mix for track 4. The old one was a bit harsh. If you already downloaded the album, you can download the song separately here: http://www.megaupload.com/?d=N13K30GU.

If you haven't downloaded the album yet, you can find the link in the first post (it has been updated to include the new mix).

If anybody has any critiques, please let me know!

Bump for music's sake.

Awsome! Sadly I'm at work and I can't listen to it but i'm going to download this as soon as I get home. Glad to see Ableton used for this as I plan to start doing some chiptune stuff again. I have some stuff I just found from years ago that I did very haphazardly. Give it a listen if you want

Thanks for digging this old thread up, Marshmallow! All of the sounds I used were from a VST program called "Peach." I had to search around for some Gameboy drums which were a little harder to find, but they're out there somewhere. Sorry, I can't remember any addresses!

Thanks, man. God your pms and I'm downloading now
