  2. Wow.. the thread title made me think this was a discussion on statutory rape laws.
  3. Dedicated to my Hero! http://ahimbadam.arnoldascher.com/Virtigo.nsf or http://ahimbadam.arnoldascher.com/Virtigo.mp3
  4. What about the super mario kart town theme? http://ahimbadam.arnoldascher.com/SMKAtown.mp3
  5. I made this nsf: http://ahimbadam.arnoldascher.com/SKILL.nsf and then I played rhodes on top of it: http://ahimbadam.arnoldascher.com/Samicom.mp3 SKILL is the "handle" of the guy who a convo with today inspired this song.
  6. This is an album release playboy: Andy Baio Writes: What would the pioneers of jazz sound like on a Nintendo Entertainment System? Coltrane on a C-64? Mingus on Amiga? For years, I've wondered what "chiptune jazz" would sound like, but there are only a tiny handful of jazz covers ever made. To satisfy my curiosity — and commemorate the 50th anniversary of Miles Davis's "Kind of Blue" — I've asked five brilliant chiptune musicians to collaborate and reinvent the entire album in the 8-bit sound. The lineup, in alphabetical order: Ast0r (Chris J. Hampton) Disasterpeace (Rich Vreeland) Sergeeo (Sergio de Prado) Shnabubula (Samuel Ascher-Weiss) Virt (Jake Kaufman) To create this album, I hope to raise $2,000 to pay royalties, pay the artists, and print CDs. Legally releasing cover songs requires paying mechanical licenses to the song publishers through the Harry Fox Agency, totaling about $420 for every 250 downloads and a $75 processing fee. I'll be using the remainder to print a very limited run of CDs for Kickstarter backers, and split the rest evenly among the five musicians for their painstaking work. (This is a labor of love for me, so I won't be keeping a dime.) I hope to have the entire album download ready for Kind of Blue's 50th birthday on August 17. (Printing and shipping CDs will take longer.) All project backers will get exclusive first access to the album download before anyone else in the world, and exclusive updates during the album's creation. Backers donating $30 or more will receive an extremely limited-edition CD, printed only for this Kickstarter project. Once the August 1 deadline is reached, the CD will never be sold again! Track Listing (Tentative): 1. So What - Ast0r 2. Freddie Freeloader - Virt 3. Blue in Green - Sergeeo 4. All Blues - Shnabubula 5. Flamenco Sketches - Disasterpeace Thank you so much for being a part of this. Let me know if you have any questions in the comments. Here's a tiny Snippet of a portion of my track: http://arnoldascher.com/All%20Blues%20Preview.mp3 THERE ARE ONLY 2 DAYS LEFT. AFTER THAT THE PHYSICAL CD WILL NEVER AGAIN BE AVAILABLE!! http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/waxpancake/kind-of-bloop-an-8-bit-tribute-to-miles-davis
  7. mannnnnnn you rule so hard it's ridiculous!!!! Long live NASE!
  8. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OQk-3IbQVl0 having fun with a song that's been played a million times and more.
  9. hahaha if you don't have years of hardcore experience with trackers than I'm now doubly floored by your FT/LSDJ work.
  10. hahahaha wow, I didn't until now place who Skowriz was!! You're Nassenman!!! aahhhh okay. Anyway, great job! Man, I had no clue from your OCR posts that you were the same dude I've been talking to and that you have years of hardcore tracking experience and can absolutely murder people with famitracker if you see fit. Brilliant work.
  11. great to see you posted here finally Tony! To clarify, the write-up quotes larry saying "He also recruited Shnabubula to add some cool original comping wankery on top of some of the mellower sections. Tony mentioned that Sam cooked up his stuff in a matter of hours after offering to do it, so definitely props to Sam for some nice additions that further fleshed out the arrangement" This is either completely inaccurate or just a really odd description of what actually took place. Tony just removed all of the sequenced rhodes parts from his song and replaced them with me playing live. That was the extent of my contribution. Anyway, great first mix, I can't wait to see more of your formidable catalog show up here! EDIT: just to be clear, I appreciate the acknowledgement, I just wanted to make sure people know that I really had very little to do with this song. I was like an instrument in Tony's arsenal rather than a full-on collaborator.
  12. Somebody needs to do a tribute version of "gone too soon"...it's a beautiful song and not that many people know it.
  13. He's not dead. The fact that everybody briefly thought he was will be the big story when this is all over. Baaaad reporting
  14. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q0zFCkYwJsE As usual it's a mix of parody/homage/exaggeration and the occasional deliberate inappropriateness.
  15. wtf.. this is not a remix... it quotes dhalsim's stage for like 2 seconds.. why was this moved.... people have posted videos in Gen Disc for ages... not cool. Edit: I apologize, I see that the threads I was thinking of were also moved. Regardless, had I known this would be moved, I would not have chosen to post it as it is more of a video than a song. I guess I'll have to wait for an album release before I post here again. http://www.ocremix.org/forums/showthread.php?t=22532

  17. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4I5McvFKsk8 more coming soon.
  18. There's very little of the actual original material in there.. when ever it's used it's either done so to bring a specific tune to mind in order to either pay tribute to it or deliberately do inappropriate things with it. The super mario world one was mine yeah, but that was all parody + remix... this is a slightly different take on a similar concept.
