![Andrew Allanson - A Distant Voice [SNES Cover]
Original song - https://soundcloud.com/ackkstudios/chance-traveller
Im still really hyped for this game. I originally wanted to wait until the release date to post it and have it be a surprise (since the developers got a kick out of the first cover I did), but since it sounds like it might be a few more months away, I thought Id post it now instead. I think its a nice surprise either way :)
This song was so much fun to cover. If I ever start composing my own music, I hope I get this good.
If youd like to check out a demo of the game, the devs made this for PAX Prime - https://ackkstudios.itch.io/yiik-episode-prime
Its a great sample of what the final game will be like.
I was originally going to ask someone I know to sing the Japanese lyrics (!) alongside this, but they were too busy, so I just added some extra channels...which wouldnt be possible on a real SNES, but whatever, it sounds awesome. Most of these instruments were ripped from Chrono Trigger and EarthBound SPCs. Andrew Allanson - A Distant Voice [SNES Cover]](https://i.ytimg.com/vi/B6OuG0KHsWc/mqdefault.jpg)

![[SNES cover] Firing of the Magun (Final Fantasy Unlimited)
I made this cover when I was in the middle of watching this show on YouTube two winters ago. Apparently people hate the show, but I thought it was pretty cool. [SNES cover] Firing of the Magun (Final Fantasy Unlimited)](https://i.ytimg.com/vi/CAAn7ocypts/mqdefault.jpg)

![[OPL3 cover] Verdant Whisper (OTHER: Her Loving Embrace)
Heres a cover from another indie game Ive had my eye on for a while! Its OST uses mostly FM synth, and I recently found the same kind of laptop I had as a kid for cheap off of eBay, so I figured Id try something using its OPL3 chip!
Check out the demo here! https://pringle.itch.io/other-demo
