I like pensive and slightly dark moods like this one. It gives me the feeling of preparing for a tough battle against a strong and intelligent enemy.
*Nerdy rambling: I actually tracked this with OpenMPT. But I love watching what I wrote playing so accurately in the actual old program with the Nuked OPL2 emulation. I wondered if instead of settling with the default OPL general midi bank that the PC version used, the OPL2 could actually sound more alike the OPM in the Sharp X68000 computer.
#chiptune #nectaris #dos #screamtracker3 #s3mFFVI - Dark World Theme (more somber TFM Music Maker version)mihaelkyeah ksjn2023-01-02 | I made this sound more dead than it perhaps needed to. It loops four times in this video. I had started doing this I don't remember when, and today I added the last two patterns and the "chord" (dyad) instruments. More original music is on its way. #tracker #chiptune #vgm #fmsynthesisI recreated a song from a Manos fangame out of my memorymihaelkyeah ksjn2022-12-30 | I don't even know if this song is someone's original composition or if it's a cover of something else.

#reaper #daw #midiKyū Sawamura - Full Moonmihaelkyeah ksjn2022-08-13 | A song to the full moon, heavily inspired by Agony of The DooM Crew. http://modarchive.org/modules.php?69511 Particularly the songs Mistress of Misery and Nightfall.
I went to the forest in the middle of the night during the moon's crescent phase for inspiration.
Fun fact #1: every instrument and effect plugin used in this is free. Fun fact #2: this song is tuned in 425 Hz.
======------ Tools used: ------======
Drums: Steven Slate Drums 5 Free + MTPowerDrumKit (extra kick and snare aids) Guitars: Unreal Instruments Metal Guitar GTX (library for Plogue Sforzando) Bass: My 5st Johnson Bass with active pickups + a little MIDI aid with FunkBass VSTi Piano: Keyzone Classic Howl-like synth: Crystal (Green Oak Software) Wolf howls: freesound.org/people/YleArkisto/sounds/243495 Old wall clock sampled from a game. :)
Effects: I don't remember everything I used, but for the guitar amps I used Crunck V2 for the most part and BYOD for some effects and things, and for the bass amp I used BassDeluxe. I also used a low, mid and air frequency exciter (especially for the drums) called ThrillSeeker. Sender Spike's brickwall limiter/clipper SN05-G has been quite useful for this too. :)

Original music composed by Kanae Kazuhiro.
I had this sitting on my hard drive since like 2016 and I decided to refurbish it a little bit (i.e. sound design tweaks) and put it up here. I have a few other songs from this game covered that will be given a much needed 2022 treatment. :)

(...I forgot a whammy bar bend somewhere in the intro. Whoops.)
I remade it back in 2011 and I was going to upload that version first, but then I set myself a challenge to try and write it and mix it better than I did before, also with a real bass performance.
I composed this when I was ~15-16. As you can tell, it has some details that show my inexperience (mainly that there are too many melodies in some parts, making it difficult to tell which is the "main" melody), but it also has some details that show my potential.
Back then I had thoughts and ideas about making a movie telling a personal story. For some time I thought that these were just delusions of grandeur, but I suppose what I really felt was a desperate need to tell the world my story. This song would have belonged to a scene near the end of the movie where the protagonist would be laying in bed looking at the dusk light coming through the blinds in the window, thinking about everything that happened.[vent] At loss of oneselfmihaelkyeah ksjn2022-03-23 | I wrote this song when I was 18 over feeling jealous of someone I liked and the closer people in their life. The original title was "Hate", but in all caps. The new title is intended to be a more objective interpretation of what was likely really going on back then.casiuno night (PilotRedSun) - sega genesis model 2 covermihaelkyeah ksjn2022-02-11 | TODO: ADD THUMBNAIL Also yes, that is my voice.

This was my first time making music in TFM MM in many years, and it was also my first time crafting original instruments from scratch in its instrument editor. There are a few which were based on existing presets, namely the drums and the strong bass towards the end. . . . . . === OC development dribble === This song is part of a whole new canon that I came up with for Kyū as a character. Part of this new canon is that he's of Russian origin now, and "Kyū Sawamura" is an alias of his (an alias of an alias?), while his real name would be Kolodka Samoylov. (I later found that, while being listed under "Russian boy names" in several sites, Kolodka is more common as a *surname* in Russia than it is an actual given name. Whoops.) Now, part of this new canon would be that Kolodka would be a gopnik teen who just so happened to have a thing for computers and videogames, and was recruited by a hacker and bootlegger group in his town, to make music and crude coding for their crack intros and bootleg games. Partially inspired by the existing Russian bootlegger group Kudos, who used TFM Music Maker demo songs as music for their games, I initially started this intending to make it sound like what you would hear in a Russian Sega Mega Drive game, whether it be a bootleg or an actual game made from scratch. I tried to go all out with this idea; as you can see, I set up my Windows XP virtual machine to appear in Russian.Ghidorah - A piece for freedom (PC Engine cover)mihaelkyeah ksjn2020-05-10 | PC Engine / TurboGrafx-16 cover of Ghidorah's song A piece for freedom.

This is Kyū Sawamura in his original form, a hellhound who plans to take over the underworld with his powerful hell powers. I tried to go for a more groovy style, and taking into account this genre isn't my area of expertise, I'm pretty happy about how it came out. Even if it sounds a little bit like 70's porno music. Art by a friend.💀 Undertale - Megalovania (Sega Genesis Cover) 💀mihaelkyeah ksjn2020-04-01 | #megalovania #undertale #SegaGenesis #chiptune #DefleMask
I finally made a cover of this song. I can't believe it either! It was about time I made one though. I'm particularly proud of how the main riff guitar came out. I think I really outdid myself with this cover.
One of these days I'm gonna end up getting a blue glowy aura thing in my left eye. Or something like that.
I made this for a friend and also to test myself really trying to make a Mega Drive sound like an SNES.
Check out my massively professional chroma keyeing skills. You can totally not see the pink borders. I honestly like how they look though. It was a happy accident I guess xdxdxddxd
1st place in the Tropical Escape (Part 1) compo at the Chiptune Café! It's my first time winning one of these and I'm very happy about it.
For this one I tried going for a much more African vibe, even though it may have went over my head that it made more sense for it to be more Caribbean-like than African. I guess it still qualifies as jungle music.

There are others that I like better than this one, and I kinda wish I had put a bit more thought into the channel allocation (I imagined the sound effects would be using the 2nd pulse, noise and DPCM channels). But either way, I ended up being quite happy with how the 'bells' and the echoed sections turned out.
