Oh no worries about missing the stream at all! And in this case I had started this piece a few weeks ago and then noodled with it periodically in between other projects, so the stream was mostly about deconstructing and analyzing the song ❤️
Yessssss love the inclusion of the stoplight as part of the track. I also am noticing how this is almost swing time in the way the off beats land. Dig it, great work pal!
This sounds like something that could be a part of so many NES games. Robin Hood Prince of Thieves and Solstice came to mind while I was listening. Awesome work! It was fun hearing your thoughts live too. Thanks for sharing that with us!
Thank you so much, I'm glad you enjoyed this! I definitely want to adapt more Celtic songs in the future, because they really seem to convert to chiptune very nicely.
Thank you! I love this game and this was a fun little project to get started learning both Game Boy and Furnace. My wife (who didn't grow up playing games so she has no nostalgia association with chiptune) said she liked my version better than the original NES song, which was a very unexpected compliment to hear...
Thanks! This was the first sorta more detailed bit of chiptune transcription work I ever did. Got a little gnarly in a few places due to the reduced number of channels in 2A03 but I think I did ok. It was super satisfying to finish it up!
Thanks Burst! Given that this is a Game Boy piece, I take this comment as a huge complement coming from someone who made a hardware-compliant Game Boy homebrew game (Cryohazard) including the full soundtrack.
This is rad!! And I always said I didn’t like Sonic music! Can you re-do the whole soundtrack like this, and maybe if I could replace the music in the game with your version, I’d finally beat it 😄!
Thank you! What an incredibly kind comment! I was pretty nervous about this arrangement (after listening to it probably thousands of times) but seems like people really enjoy this one.
Really dig this! Didn't realize the sound for the Virtual Boy was so distinct until I listend to this cover and then compared it with the Game Boy and NES sound sets. Awesome!
Thanks, I'm glad you enjoyed! Yeah even though the VB ended with a small library, the few games that WERE released generally have really nice music. I've been enjoying listening to Galactic Pinball, Teleroboxer, and Red Alarm, but probably Jack Bros has my favorite music on the system.
Thank you, that’s so kind! Yeah I remember when I rented a VB from Blockbuster when Nintendo did that promotion back in the day, I was struck by how strongly the games emphasized stereo, so I really wanted to use some panning effects in this piece. Thanks for listening!
Glad you enjoyed! Yeah that Mega Man drum technique is a new thing for me. It's cool but it uses one of the channels that would normally be utilized for melody, which makes the Mega Man music all the more impressive how they fit everything in together.
