Lorem Chipsum

As performed at Magfest 8, in January 2010. This isn’t the original song just run through chip synths, it’s almost entirely rewritten to account for how sloppy my playing was on the full production. Chip instruments are much less forgiving and stick out terribly if they’re just a little bit off, so I just selected everything and hit delete. Since I had improvised the guitar and bass while recording, they never existed as notation and I had to transcribe them and re-play on keys. The synths used are VOPM, Yamaha TX81Z, and Plogue Chipsounds.

    This piece is absolutely phenomenal. Seriously. If there were one song I could ever write to express my soul this would be it.

    Totally Awesome. I loved the original, and this one is even better by power of recognition alone. You sir, is a master!

    please upload an alternate version without the very sharp high note starting at about 03:52-04:08.
    It really hurts my ears :(
    besides that, awesome as ever :D

    Chills.

    Perhaps it’s imprinting from Galaxy Force II, but I invariably equate funky FM slap bass lines with epic-awesomeness :D

    I absolutely love this! The only thing to make it complete would be either a full metal version, or a chip-metal hybrid. Completely worthy of being used in almost any soundtrack or game.
