This is a video game music cover of Starlight Zone from Sonic The Hedgehog for Sega Genesis. The arrangement features flute and vocoder, and explores what it would have been like if a group of musicians showed up to a studio in the 1970s to record the track.

*Lyrics:*
It's Starlight Zone
It's the place where the star light glows
Starlight Zone
It's a zone
where your dreams will not be alone
Starlight Zone
In Starlight Zone
There's a light you can call your own
Starlight Zone
It's the zone
Where you can always feel at home.

![Final Fantasy I: Prelude [Synth Cover]](https://i.ytimg.com/vi/Ya2ep-53YiY/mqdefault.jpg "Final Fantasy I: Prelude [Synth Cover]
This is a cover of Nobuo Uematsus Prelude from the original Final Fantasy game for the NES. It was recorded with a Korg DS-8 synthesizer. The Korg DS-8 has an interesting story...
In the 1970s Yamaha began developing a type of synthesis known as Frequency Modulation (or FM for short). They released the GS-1, and later the more famous DX-7 in the early 1980s which made use of the new technology. Since Yamaha held the patent for FM synthesis, Korg had to license it from them to develop the DS-8, which was released in 1987. The DS-8 is sort of a stripped down version of the DX-7, but has its own character and charm. Since Final Fantasy was released in 1987 in Japan, I thought it would be fitting to record this classic piece of music with an actual DS-8.

![Sinfonia No.9 in F Minor BWV #795 [8bit Cover]](https://i.ytimg.com/vi/Yyweg0YlEM8/mqdefault.jpg "Sinfonia No.9 in F Minor BWV #795 [8bit Cover]
The ninth of Bachs 15 Sinfonias (three part inventions) arranged for FamiTracker.
I took a different approach with this project than I did with the Two Part Inventions. Since latter is composed of only two voices, I used the empty channels in the FamiTracker to simulate reverb and delay effects to give the pieces a sense of depth, space, and life. I also kept them in mono, so they were generally a more pure representation of the NES hardware.
Since the Sinfonias introduce a third voice, I decided that I would do most of the sound design inside FamiTracker and export the stems to process inside Ableton Live. The result is less pure to the Chip Tune ethos, but I think service the music in a deeper way. The use of stereo mixing allows for the 3 parts to be spread out across the stereo field, giving the piece a wider sense of perspective - and the use of more conventional reverb and delay effects puts it in more of a real world environment.
As for the pieces themselves, I was less familiar with the Sinfonias than I was the Two Part Inventions. I also didnt do as much consulting of existing recordings for reference. Instead I tried to rely more on my own decisions about tempo, phrasing, and articulations so the interpretations may be less conventional.
Thanks for Listening!

This Invention gives off some pretty strong Jesu, Joy of Mans Desiring vibes - only its an Allegro tempo. Nevertheless, its a 0:44 second romp that is guaranteed to put you in a better mood.

I spent many hours waking up before dawn and playing Final Fantasy: Mystic Quest for hours before school back in the early 90s. The game itself is a bit of an after thought for most people, but it offered some really great music - so here is my Lo-Fi Hip Hop arrangement of Battle Theme.
