Retro Video Game Music
Back to it! With the million - no, zillion - no, floppity JILLION - Christmas cards out of the way (HIMYM reference - LOVE IT!), it's time to fire up the music gear again and plop down in front of the ol' keyboard.
In the midst of creating something orchestral, I came across a sound called "Techno Bass". The upper ranges of the sound (which it wasn't really meant to be played in) had that 'retro video game' sound. So of course, I had to pause, put the serious piece on hold, and create a new file to make a fun video game track. For no real good reason other than - "It's Funny."
I am a huge.. HUGE fan of the original NES (Nintendo Entertainment System). My all time fav game? The original Arcade Mario Brothers... still looking to finish it. Though I'm not sure it actually finishes... could be just an algorithm to add more animals at each level. In any case, this music would be the backtrack to that kind of game. All pixely with 2-D images an simple scrolling back and forth movement. I love those games...
