This isolates the different layers allowing you to hear them individually, and how they all add up to the whole product. Excuse the slow-talking/mis-speaking. This was all recorded past midnight so I was a bit tired.

If I had time, I would remake this entire soundtrack, but this was always a track that I found particularly cool. In addition to the remake, I show you a few of the different layers that make up this song, both in the original SNES version and the remake.

Torian Theme from Metroid by Hirokazu Tanaka
and
Vs Ridley from Super Metroid by Minako Hamano
Featured on the acclaimed fan album Harmony of a Hunter Returns celebrating the 35 year anniversary of Metroid.
This track is my original mix, and will sound fairly different from the official album version which went through a mastering process by someone else.

This is the score -- presumably handwritten by a copyist or Gavin Greenaway himself -- for Illuminations: Reflections of Earth, the opening piece of music to Disney World's nightly firework show in Epcot. The score appears to be a near final draft; the structure is identical to the final piece, and only a few tracks and flourishes seem to be missing.
As a composer of almost 20 years now, I keep coming back to this piece over and over to marvel at its orchestration, textures, rhythms, melodies, and energy. To me, it strikes the perfect balance between complex and simple; it manages to be accessible without being trite. It is the piece I so desperately wish I had written myself. I think it is one of the best pieces of orchestral music written in the last few decades.
A J-Dilla beat written for the unreleased game, Fara & The Eye of Darkness, by Spaceboy Games. This song was written as the theme for one of several "demon kid" characters designed by Fellipe Martins.
A blurb by Fellipe on JJ:
They are kids in that they are driven by their emotions. Imagine the kid in the supermarket screaming because mom doesn't buy whatever he/she wants. Or that quiet kid in the corner who doesn't speak to anyone. Now imagine these spoiled kids with super powers. That's JJ. JJ just wants to listen to his music, you don't tell him what to do.
His demon gem, which is usually encrusted in a wand, in his case was patched into his backpack. His boombox works like a pet, in that when it's angry, it activates and turns into a creature that JJ can use as a mount.
JJ is the lonely type, but would enjoy searching for new cool stuff. Easily bored, if he was a teenager you could imagine him sneaking out at night to go to a rap battle, jazz performance, or anything off-circuit in search of the perfect beat.
remake of Feel the Beat demo song from the Yamaha PSR-190 / PSR-78 keyboards by ???
I got this keyboard when I was really young, and it was the first musical instrument I ever had. It was one of the things that really got me interested in making music, as I sat in front of it every day learning how to play simple melodies and chords.
The keyboard had 20 excellent demo songs that I would also learn and play along with. Some of my favorites were Fantastic Island, Special Night, High and Low, Fine View, and most of all, Feel the Beat, which stuck out in my mind as the coolest demo all these years later. So I decided to do a remake of it!

It would've taken days to record all of the 100 demo songs, so I excluded the songs I thought were uninteresting.
Where I thought the song was was particularly interesting or warranted hearing in more detail, the separate layers were recorded as well. The machine had 4 layers that could be toggled on/off: drums 1 (kit), drums 2 (aux perc), bass, and backing (keys, guitar, etc).
Racing down a long road against the backdrop of a midnight city skyline, hugging each curve within inches of death. Adrenaline pulses through your veins. Your heart is beating out of your chest as you slam the pedal to the floor.
A derelict ship drifts in space above an unknown planet. Inspired by the music from Star Trek: The Next Generation. Composed as an audio demo for the game Duskers, by Misfits Attic.
This is a "side by side" comparison of several prominent piano sample libraries currently on the market. The goal of the comparison is to illuminate the differences in recording quality and overall sound of each library so that you can assess their possible usefullness in professional production.
The test aims to be as fair as possible. A standard patch is chosen in each product. All processed reverb or recorded hall reverb is removed, attempting to expose the quality of the bare samples at the core of the instrument. All other parameters are kept at their defaults, unless noted otherwise.
No EQ'ing, compression, or any other effects are applied. Overall loudnesses between the libraries are matched by ear to within reason. Velocities are scaled together (but not edited individually) to make the dynamic timbre and performance aggressiveness between the libraries consistent.

Demonstrates: - Soft to medium dynamic range. - Long, sustained notes. - Legato phrases.

The charmingly goofy music on Shopping Trolley's only album has a vague resemblance to Manhattan Transfer -- but British, wildly eccentric, and more than a little stoned. The songs are intelligent and stylish jazz-pop, alternately somber and delirious, performed with crisp harmonies and manic tempos. The vocals are nothing short of stellar, technically brilliant but delivered with enough character that there's no chance you'll mistake this band for anyone else. Anyone born very far from London will be bewildered by at least one lyrical reference in each song, but some references become clear by context and other puzzles are best ignored -- just listen to the trippy music and don't worry about exactly what and who the band is talking about. It isn't deep music -- it's fun and quirky pop, and done very well, too. Shopping Trolley was too odd to make it in the mainstream, but in retrospect it's surprising that the band never spawned a cult audience.Rainbow Road / Credits - Mario Kart 64 - remakeVincent Rubinetti2014-07-10 | ⬇️ Download: vincerubinetti.bandcamp.com/album/remixes-and-remakes 📅 July 2014
