Thumbs up for the concept, the timing, and the fast time table. I probably shouldn't commit to a thing, but it's hella tempting, considering how much fun Futebol Arte was. Maybe I have a half-finished PSX track here somewhere..

Wow, that's a really cool post & information (Alberto Gonzales writing his own tracker-style tool.. on ZX Spectrum.. for 8-bit Nintendo music..) If you want to make NES-sounding music, you know that FamiTracker is built on NES emulation so that's fairly authentic. The music can be run on actual NES or Famicom hardware (see some renders here).

1) Curly Brace 2) Q*Bert 3) Gunstar Red

Looking forward to the music! I'm sad I don't have the time to participate (and for once, I'm actually not taking part anyway), since the theme is exactly in my interests. But then I get to enjoy the results anyway! Have a good one!

Rough, rough wip sent in!

Dammit, this is not the easiest of sources, and the approach I have in mind is also demanding. I was thinking this track would lend itself to 80s King Crimson style polyrhythms and it looks like the track uses both 4/4 and 7/8. I have a short concept thing going now.

Thanks for this! Diskotanssi der Doden & Shovel's Lament don't use the boss battle tracks (The Apparition & The Bounty Hunter), but the stage themes (A Thousand Leagues Below, Lich Yard). I added the stage themes on MusicBrainz, but I seem unable to remove the incorrect relationships..? (also funnily enough I seem to have registered an unused MusicBrainz account in 2006, but unfortunately I cannot recall what e-mail address I might have used.. not one that I have access to anymore, alas..)

I really haven't had the time to sit down :/ I'm gonna need that 28th at least.

Grabbed Hammerwatch for 1.something€, expecting some good Gauntlet-style old school goodness.

I'd love to buy it before 28th, there should be another game night coming that day. But hey, congrats!

Sounds like you're covered by OCR's content policy? Though I think we're still in the grey area, since technically you don't have the permission from the copyright holders of the original compositions? I'm putting question marks here because ... you're the one studying this matter and can tell us (to me OCR sounds like a good case for internet copyright student project..) Anyway, you have my explicit permission to use my VGM arrangements that have been released through OCR.

Lovely smiles Happy birthday to Esther!

Enjoying the showw.. !

Rexy is playing this on Sega Mixer Drive right now. This is quite nice indeed. I'm liking the synth bass and stuff, it builds a nice, airy foundation with the clean guitars.

"Wooden spoon king", I like that, I need to add that to my signature. Good year and good going! Especially nice that PRC got two tracks in the 15 year anniversary ReMix flood on the front page

Oh! I didn't notice the restart before it was mentioned on the previous Talkback. Good to see this happening & best of luck!

I love the Master System/Game Gear version. Definitely a good soundtrack. I have an arrangement in the works for what is the candyland level in the 8-bit version (it might have been a different level in the 16-bit version): here

What a milestone! Congratulations and major props for perseverance & willingness to improve while at it. Oh man, I've been around here for almost half of it. Time flies when you're having fun.

Well, I've always enjoyed your PRC entries, your SF2 Drive track and others, and always thought you have a recognizable sound to your music, so I'd definitely say keep going, keep going. =) But yeah, I've too felt for a long time getting more into music theory would be immensely helpful for me, so I can relate to that I guess. Ear-training, I can heartily recommend just trying to transcribe compo stuff by ear. When it comes to VGM arranging (especially in this community), since you don't need to get everything down how it was in the original, I've figured just getting a part of the source figured out and expanding & differentiating from there is enough. I think I've gotten a lot more accurate and faster the more I've done it. Transcribing something that plays in my head has become easier too.

The last talkback was very enjoyable. Some cool insights into site workings: the judging party sounds like a great idea and the effect was definitely noticeable, and the info on site developments was quite welcome. The system-related reminiscing is always fun too. Good show!

from Final Fantasy 4 on the piano. Not the fast arpeggio though. I found a tracker module of the piece and was inspired to pick out the notes from there (this was maybe around 1998 ).I believe that module was my first encounter with VGM arrangements, along with a detailed FastTracker II treatment of the airship theme from FF6. I didn't yet get an inspiration to do my own VGM arrangements back then though. I can't really play any VGM musics, even my own arrangements I record a few bars of the time so I couldn't play through them.

FTL would be a good one too.

I fully endorse the addition of Mak into the lineup.

The battle theme in this update is tremendous.. I want someone to do a djent arrangement of it.
