GSTMIX31: Handheld Fusion Flavors

Today, we’re looking through some of the jazz fusion cuts from the SMS and Game Gear. Or, if not specifically jazz fusion, then at least some breezy jfusion adjacent tunes. Let’s jam!

video premieres ~15 minutes from this post! join us in the chat!

GSTMIX31 preview

going for a bit of jfusion!

as usual, still needs the last few bits: title, titlecard, endcard. and spellcheck probably.

30k Subscriber Q&A

what it says on the tin!

questions that you post here get special attention (because they'll be obviously taken from patreon instead of the youtube comment section)

video game water to chill/study to

new video. no words. no music. just vibes. let's relax by the video game water.

this was one of those ideas that possessed me and i couldnt stop working on. if you saw the #wish-you-were-here channel on discord you know what i mean. (i may archive that and post it here, idk)

hope you enjoy this little oddity!

A Discovery with Paul Hutchinson (Part 2)

In the middle of asking some questions via email, Paul discovered the source files for several modules that we had both assumed were lost. This was quite an exciting moment, so I wanted to share it separately.

the previous interview was formatted to remove the ...

A Chat with Paul Hutchinson (Part 1)

While I usually interview musicians, Paul is a programmer first, and musician when he needs to be. However, I still had a lot to ask about, as he was able to provide a fascinating window into what gamedev was like in the late 80s and early 90s.

This interview was conducted across several emails in 2024Q1. The exchange has been rearranged t...

Artist Feature #30 PREVIEW

this is an odd one! A musical future for a programmer.

but it has a lot of never-heard-before stuff, which is always cool.

as usual, all that remains is the spellcheck and endcard. i think.

EXTMIX #30: GameGearJazz.mid

Today, we’re looking at some jazzy 8-bit Sega tunes... in the form of a MIDI medley.

premieres in ~15 min! join us in the chat!

EXTMIX #30 preview

still needs the usual etc etc

this one's a bit indulgent for me, hehe. 

I'm gonna post the full midi once the video's out. might be fun to play with(?)

the bgm from "Analyzing NES Terminator's Music until Its Capcom"

or, I guess, the song revision? I'm also including the famitracker file. 

anyone want to extend it? I figured it'd need MMC5 to fit the lead in there.

I don't want to include the 1,000,000 chord examples in this post but I guess I'll add it if anyone asks :P

cheers!

bgm from "youtube channel memberships now available"

this was just a scrap tune I wrote, repurposed for this video solely because it's chill. 

I still plan to include it on the upcoming compilation, so here's an early DL for y'all.

cheers~

BGM from "someone used my game idea before I even announced it"

I wrote several original cues for this video and plan to release [most of] them in a compilation eventually, but patrons get early access :)

there's a lot of cues here!

a few notes on each:

building a cube: channeling some 00s merck-ish IDM and aligning it with my shots in the v...

the bgm from "they keep saying these are the best graphics yet"

This one was never intended to be a song. it wasn't even in time. attached is an edit that keeps tempo.

if you want to play along: Fmaj69 - Cmin69 (no7) - D#maj69 - A#sus2add9 (stacked 5ths)

i hadn't realized it's mostly 69 chords... 

anyway, I plan to release this in a compilation eventual...

the bgm from "realistic graphics aren't about graphics"

I wrote some original cues for this video and plan to release them in a compilation eventually, but since you're on my patreon, I figure you deserve access sooner.

here's a few words about the two songs I wrote here:

retrodely jam: this was a sound design and augmented chord exercise that I repurposed for the video.<...

"realistic" graphics aren't about "graphics"

a follow-up to my last video about game graphics.

just skip the bit between 1:40 and 2:07 if you're young enough to hear CRT whine. (I forgot to filter it out in that shot...)

dancefloor stuff! but arranged!

i had some fun with this and hopefully you'll have some fun too

still needs the usual:

• titlecard 
• endcard 
• spellcheck 
• fourth thing?

isn't it weird how newer games manage to look more realistic than older ones? [quickvid(?)]

I put together a little narrated video, just airing out some thoughts I've had recently.

I wasn't going to post anything about it, but the response has been immediately lovely. 

I encourage you to scroll through the comments! ppl are sharing some neat stories on shifting perspectives!

anyway this is a freebie. thx for watc...
