Interesting that this conversation came up today. I literally just finished this entire album and dropped the release a few hours ago, and that mother brain track was something interesting. Hopefully, I can share it with you all in the future. But yes the arpeggios that seem chaotic and are very hard to iron down what they are actually doing with any traditional approach beyond 20th century harmony and heptatonic scales. First, it seemed quartal in nature; but then I would see a minor 3rd & #4th pop up here and there at the end of a phrase and then m6ths & M6ths with m7ths. So tons of chromatic notes. Clearly the idea was meant to sound chaotic unsettling and almost alive sounding, and he nailed it. Not sure I could stand behind any chord analysis; but if you wanted a rough idea where to start, maybe think about Fm11 with additional chromatic passing tones of #4s and both M6ths & m6ths played very staccato in 32nd notes. Not sure how much that helps but hope it does some. GL with the Metroiding/Jamming. Best, Aaron (MnG)

just this. THere.s this app that lets you download rips of a bunch of different video game console audio files and plays all of them. Its a really extensive archive of origional music file rips with the ability to play them all in app this is whats supported downloads take seconds because these files are so small I fucking love this app and I dont know of anything else like it

i've recently downloaded zxtune on android, and it has similar functionality. i've found lots of cool japanese arcade game osts on obscure FM synth chips since. just by randomly going through the archives while taking a walk. basically stuff that's reminiscent of the streets of rage sound. i haven't had a cellphone for a while, but i borrowed this fat clunky one from my dad that he bought specifically for watching youtube. it has this big integrated loudspeaker. it's perfect for blasting your vicinity with blaring chiptunes XD i can see myself annoying a lot of folks when i go travelling in the summer, hehe. going on walks with an app like this is perfect for finding new interesting OSTs. when i'm at home, i tend to only listen to the old stuff i know already, if at all. and i agree, these apps are great, it's like digging for gold nuggets. there's so much trash in these archives, but when you find a nugget it's so fun. it goes for game OSTs as well as chip musician archives. there should be a random radio play feature in there. something that randomly draws the next tune from the big archive lists.
