Castlevania 3 : Prelude (CarboHydroM guitar arrangement) CarboHydroMusic 2022-01-31 | Title : Castle Of DarknessArtist : Christophe Blondel (as CarboHydroM)Release date : 2022Original : "Prelude", Castlevania 3 : Dracula's Curse, by Club Kukeiha (Konami)Official website : http://carbohydromusic.comVGM arrangements repository : http://www.carbohydrom.netTwitter : http://twitter.com/CarboHydroMFacebook : http://www.facebook.com/CarboHydroMusicSoundcloud : http://soundcloud.com/carbohydromusicThis is one of those themes that I've been humming for years, and always wanted to pay my respects to someday. This is now done. I think the game intro worked so well because this theme was there. It's a wonderful example of well-written illustrative music, you can sort of feel how each part of the song speaks something different and tells the premise of an ominous adventure, to keep you hanging in the end. I hope you like it!
Dark Souls 3 - Soul Of Cinder (CarboHydroM guitar arrangement) CarboHydroMusic 2021-07-29 | Title : Song Of CinderArtists : Christophe Blondel (as CarboHydroM)Release date : July 29th, 2021Original : "Soul of Cinder" boss battle theme, Dark Souls 3, Yuka Kitamura (From Software)Official website : http://carbohydromusic.comVGM arrangements repository : http://www.carbohydrom.netTwitter : http://twitter.com/CarboHydroMFacebook : http://www.facebook.com/CarboHydroMusicSoundcloud : http://soundcloud.com/carbohydromusicThis is my arrangement of the final boss battle theme from Dark Souls 3, composed by Yuka Kitamura for From Software. The Souls franchise is one of my favorites, and I highly enjoy the heavily choir-based boss music the games feature, but Soul of Cinder's theme really hits the spot. It has that "Justice Ray" feel that calls out to me and that I just can't resist.The fight features 2 phases, and the much slower-paced and softer 2nd phase's music (also arranged here) can be considered kind of a spoiler. The games have been out for a while now so it should not be too much of an issue, but if you have yet to play Dark Souls games and you absolutely don't want them to be spoiled for you, don't listen to this arrangement!

Area 88/U.N.

Squadron (SNES) and Area 88 (Arcade), originally composed by Manami Matsumae and Takashi Tateishi for Capcom. I didn't have the chance to play this game back in the 90s, and it's truly a shame as it was probably one of the very best shmups on SNES in my opinion. I'm a big fan of the Area 88 anime.The still image featured in this video is a DCS screenshot of a skin made by user "carss" for Shin Kazama's emblematic F-5E aircraft.
Ace Combat 7 - Medley (CarboHydroM ft. Max Noël guitar arrangement) CarboHydroMusic 2020-04-21 | Title : SolitaryArtist : Christophe Blondel (as CarboHydroM), featuring Max Noël on bassRelease date : 2020Original : "Charge Assault", "Rescue", "Sol Squadron", "Archange", "Hush", from Ace Combat 7 : Skies Unknown (PC/PS4), originally written by Keiki Kobayashi (Project Aces/Bandai Namco)Official website : http://carbohydromusic.comVGM arrangements repository : http://www.carbohydrom.netTwitter : http://twitter.com/CarboHydroMFacebook : http://www.facebook.com/CarboHydroMusicSoundcloud : http://soundcloud.com/carbohydromusicI'm still alive. "Stick with Trigger and you'll make it. Worked like a charm!"Until Ace Combat 7 came out on PC, I had never played a single Ace Combat game, even though I had heard some music from these series before, and already knew how good their soundtrack consistently was. Now I've played AC7, AC4, AC5, and ACZero too! It did not change my mind about the music one bit. The Ace Combat series is blessed with divine soundtracks.So this is a tribute medley that I've written, covering only a handful of songs from Ace Combat 7 : Skies Unknown that I love, and that could flow decently from one into another in story order : "Charge Assault", "Rescue", "Sol Squadron", "Archange" and finally "Hush". As usual, the awesome Max Noël (The Tiberian Sons / Prime Legion) took care of recording the bass. Enjoy!
Castlevania: Belmonts Revenge - Castle Rock (CarboHydroM ft.

As it was often the case over the past few years, the song features my good friend Max Noël on bass ! Happy Halloween everybody !Brenna Wilkes says:The Belmont Adventure: A Tribute to Castlevania Adventure & Belmont's Revenge is exactly that. The first two Gameboy Castlevania titles had amazing music but were woefully underrated in terms of representation through the rest of the series. Given this year marks the 30th Anniversary of Castlevania Adventure's release, I figured this was the perfect time to see that both games get some love in the form of an arrangement album.Castlevania Adventure and Castlevania: Belmont's Revenge and their titular protagonist, Christopher Belmont, deserve the spotlight and I was more than happy to provide that, along with an amazing group of ridiculously talented musicians who shared my passion and who I am grateful for. I hope this album does the game's fantastic OSTs some justice.You can find full distribution of the album on other platforms here: http://smarturl.it/thebelmontadventure

I used to find it totally hilarious when played with 3 friends, and for long fights, to select the stage with my favorite music. With this upcoming N64 Tribute Album, the time to cover obscure sources like this one had come, so I got onto it, and contacted Matheus so that he could join the effort like I did for him on ‘Sound Waves’, last year's Ecco The Dolphin tribute compilation.
Final Fantasy 6 - Kids Run Through The Streets (CarboHydroM guitar arrangement) CarboHydroMusic 2016-09-18 | Title : A Date At Centrico Plaza (Commissionned by Matthew Lim)Artists : Christophe Blondel (as CarboHydroM)Release date : 2016Original : "Kids Run Through The Streets", Final Fantasy 6 (SNES) by Nobuo UematsuOfficial website : http://carbohydromusic.comVGM arrangements repository : http://www.carbohydrom.netTwitter : http://twitter.com/CarboHydroMFacebook : http://www.facebook.com/CarboHydroMusicSoundcloud : http://soundcloud.com/carbohydromusicThis is a straight acoustic cover of "Kids Run Through The City" from the soundtrack of Final Fantasy 6 (SNES), originally composed by Nobuo Uematsu. It was commissionned by Matthew Lim.Here's a little message he left for you guys :"This is my first commission to our celebrated artist CHM.This was supposed to be a simple tune for a modern town RPG setting, and it evolved into something else. I conceived the idea one year back with CHM, but shelved it due to financial constraints. When I finally got back to him to work on the project this month, he finished the piece faster than the FFVII's Highwind. Man, did he produce a romantic ballad!I conceived the title when it was being remastered. At the time I was writing a Pokemon Fanfic so it was a way to relate it to my ongoing work. I happened to be researching the Kalos region, and I found that Lumoise City fits the song well.Pokemon fans would notice the name and its significance from the get-go: Centrino Plaza is the City's centre and in its middle is the landmark Prism Tower/Lumoise Gym. With such a beautiful landmark, you cannot ask for a better place to go dating."
Sonic The Hedgehog 2 - Ending (CarboHydroM guitar arrangement) CarboHydroMusic 2016-09-09 | Title : Speed Of The FreeArtists : Christophe Blondel (as CarboHydroM)Release date : 2016Original : Ending theme, Sonic The Hedgehog 2, by Masato NakamuraOfficial website : http://carbohydromusic.comVGM arrangements repository : http://www.carbohydrom.netTwitter : http://twitter.com/CarboHydroMFacebook : http://www.facebook.com/CarboHydroMusicSoundcloud : http://soundcloud.com/carbohydromusicThis is a fast-paced rock arrangement of the ending music from my favorite Sonic game ever, Sonic The Hedgehog 2 on Sega Genesis. It's a much improved version of the song based on the very same theme that I released back in 2004 within my debut album "VG Rocks". That was 12 years earlier than this one. So what you have here is a "short and sweet", straight cover of the source material, in the same vein as what I used to do long ago, but sounding way better !

It was suggested to me by my artist friend Heavy Metal Hanzo, who told me it certainly had the heroic vibe I'm always looking for in video game songs, and indeed it had ! The featured artwork is actually a commission I asked from him for the piece.Also featured here, my regular session bassist and friend Maxime "Wild_Cat" Noël, who was as usual kind enough to send me bass recordings across the Atlantic Ocean !

This is my favorite from the entire OST, it's magnificently set up as a multi-parts race backing song, and has this speed vibe that pumps you up !I had the great pleasure to work with 3 other musicians on this one : I first asked Matthew Mukerjee, from Tetrimino if I was okay to play bass, and we quickly discussed adding more live instruments, namely violin, which would be played by Michaela Nachtigall, also from Tetrimino, and brass, by Marc Papeghin ! On the mastering side, this time I left the song into the hands of one of my local friends, who runs Studio Karma in Marseilles. The project took a few months to reach total completion, but heck it was worth it. Enjoy !Matthew Mukerjee : youtube.com/channel/UCS7EUjC6hSk4vR7NLgkJdiAMichaela Nachtigall : youtube.com/user/mklachuMarc Papeghin : youtube.com/user/MarcpapeghinStudio Karma : http://www.studio-karma.com

You can get the album for any price you want here : chiptuneswin.bandcamp.com/album/bundle-of-winThis track is one of those that I could compose in a very short time. I just wanted to write something happy and upbeat, and inspiration struck at the right time. All along I was mostly imagining people aboard a fast train, gazing at beautiful landscapes passing by.As far as the style goes, I used my typical Prime Legacy chiprock recipe : fusion of 2 pulses, 1 triangle from the 2A03 NES chip, a VRC6 saw signal and my good old soft distortion rhythm guitars. I just can't get sick of that blend !

At some point though, I thought the arrangement would fit well in a funk-ish one too. But this is another story, and hence another video.

You can name your price for it as well as this whole, chiptastic album here : chiptuneswin.bandcamp.com/album/chiptunes-win-volume-4 I heard about Chiptunes = WIN thanks to Nate Horsfall, the guy who always draws the cover art for them, and who drew the Dwelling of Duels contest banners for years. When I met him at MAGFest in early 2015, he suggested I submit stuff to this ridiculously festive album, as Prime Legacy, that I released back in 2014, featured songs that could have been perfect fits.

It's one of those arrangements that would have totally gone under the radar if I had released it 10 years ago !
