Hello again! Here's the result of a project I finished not long ago, which was to recreate Great Turquoise Zone from Sonic the Hedgehog: Triple Trouble.
I'd say that it turned out a lot nicer than I thought it would. I made my own 8-bit piece before, but never dove into how I can get the sounds. It was surprisingly challenging, since I didn't use a soundfont (and after all the Game Gear soundfonts I tried didn't meet my needs). It was worth it, though, because now I feel more confident in changing envelopes to achieve different sounds! Sure, it took a month to finish, but that's fine.
Right now, I'm focused on taking a new approach to things, in which I cover more music I'm familiar with to be able to provide more content, so the next cover should come soon as well! I'm a bit worried, since I don't know if that means there'll be a drop in the uniqueness of each individual piece uploaded, but that's just something I'll have to see for myself.
Anyway, thanks for listening! Hope you liked it! :D

![Stone Tower Temple【Zelda: Majoras Mask Piano Cover】
I seriously dont know how many times Im going to return to this song. ^^
The original song is composed by the awesome Koji Kondo (a favorite composer of mine)! I cant speak for everyone, but its hard to forget about this temple. Although it doesnt beat the difficulty of the Water Temple, I had to go back in time at least twice because I ran out of it. xD

![Promise【Super Paper Mario Remake/Orchestra Cover】
Happy Belated Valentines Day! Heres an orchestral cover of Super Paper Marios Promise, as requested! Synthesia tutorial coming soon!
EDIT [9/1/18]: Another promised cover, Proof of Existence, is now complete! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bEifOkZZU8U
I tried to finish this in January, but clearly never did, so I wanted to have it out by February 14th (unfortunately, a day late). The thing about this piece is that the original has a lot of different background noises that really filled the space for sound, and the transitions didnt seem too consistent, so I was confused. Im inexperienced with making such sounds with instruments, so I did the closest I could get before the 14th, and finally managed to layout the musics progression.
There wasnt much to really transcribe (the main melody repeats a lot), so I had to see what else I could do. Ive been casually taking a closer look at how Nintendo composes music, so maybe that helped a little bit (like ending it how it started, and having some instruments (horns/piccolos) to accompany the lead melody).
In the end, Im mostly proud of being able to tackle this cover, but Im definitely still conflicted as to how decent (or non-decent) it sounds, so feedback is appreciated! Thanks for listening. :)
