I decided to go in another direction for my next YouTube promo. I just wish someone could do a sweet animated 8 Bit version of the original video...

Super Mario Galaxy 2 Music
I really want another one of those 1200 views in a couple of days type of youtube posts, so I went after Mario Galaxy 2 this time. People seem to like the Puzzle Plank Galaxy theme music. It seems to be made with an early jazz bent, which is fine by me!
And sorry ECM, no Genesis emulation here. It seemed wrong on many levels to use Genesis sound emulators for Mario music :-)

Monster Hunter Tri Moga Village Theme
My latest promotional effort is up on YouTube! I'm happier with this one than my first attempt, as I think I've coaxed better sounds from the Sega soundchip emulators I'm currently using.
My goal is to get at least ten of these videos up, though not necessarily all of Monster Hunter Tri. As always please subscribe to my channel if you want the latest youtube updates! And it makes me look good! :-)

A Monster Hunter Tribute
I've been playing a whole lot of Monster Hunter Tri, so I thought this little tribute, an excuse to mess around with Sega Genesis emulation, would be appropriate.
It isn't as in-depth as the kinds of things I would put on an album. And the YouTube compression has destroyed the mix, so its kinda muddy. But I think I did find some nice sounds that evoke the character of the Genesis, and actually it even sounds a little like SNES sound as well.

New YouTube Sample: Johnny One Note
Here is another preview cut from "Pitch to Pixel," Johnny One Note.
Johnny One Note is inspired by Thelonious Monk, the great jazz composer and pianist. I had a conversation with a coworker in the design department at Vicious Cycle about Monk, and how this particular coworker couldn't really stand him. Well, don't worry, this track doesn't really posit the most challenging aspects of Monk's music. It is influenced much more by his playful side (I personally think all of this music is terrific, though!).
The title refers to the fact that for much of the melody, a one note motif is heard. This is most obvious in the bridge, where the melody hammers on one note, while the harmony underneath changes.
One nice thing about music with a jazz influence is that it works very well for video games. In fact, many Japanese video games have a big time jazz influence, from the ragtime of Koji Kondo's Mario Bros. music to the jazz rock fusion styling of something like Streets of Rage.
Enjoy!
