ZeroJanitor | Final Fantasy IV - Boss Battle [2A03 Famitracker] @ZeroJanitor | Uploaded 2 years ago | Updated 2 hours ago
Alternatively, the Culex battle theme from Super Mario RPG.
This is a song I have a lot of nostalgia for, but not because of Final Fantasy 4, or even SMRPG. No, my first exposure to this song was as a MIDI in the background of a sprite comic. I figured out how to dig into the HTML of the webpage and save it to my computer, and I've ended up taking it with me across several different generations of computers. Still have it, in fact.
Nothing much to say about the arrangement itself except that this time I used Follin-esque arps that modulate down instead of up. Also liberal use of hardware sweeps because they're underrated imo.

So I bought the debut Gorillaz album in late December because it was on sale for real cheap and when I heard this song I immediately thought of Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddys Kong-Quest for the Super Nintendo Entertainment System.
It took a while, but I finally got around to doing the DKC2-style remix Ive been wanting to do. Also it was a fun exercise in practicing groove effects in OpenMPT.

This is my first time using the Sunsoft 5B chip. Its a little intimidating at first, but having those extra noise channels is really handy.

EXTENDED: https://youtu.be/ot0mf7XYVnY
Its Stickerbrush Symphony! Or StickerBUSH, if youre pedantic. Nothing I can say about this song that hasnt already been said before, but I do like it a lot and wanted to pay homage to DKC2 in general with this cover. Its a really good game and it gives me the warm feelies.
Yknow, with the exception of a couple tiny parts, this song isnt as hard to cover as I initially thought it would be. Which is good because Im lazy and wouldnt have ever finished this if it were like wicked difficult.

Jeffs theme has always been a favorite of mine, very peaceful and idyllic surf rock. Almost at odds with the generally more energetic style of the soundtrack. I stuck to the original arrangement fairly closely, but I used a squaresine across multiple N163 channels for the parts normally for the triangle, and Im kinda impressed with how it changes the mood of the song.

Even though its short, Centaur Mans theme has always been a favorite of mine; Its a bit more soothing and mystical than your usual 8-bit Mega Man song.
I tried to expand on that idea here with lots of echos and chords, to give it more of a hazy vibe.
