Labelled as one of the "worst games of all time," Sonic 06 is god-awful.
But you already know this, so I'm not going to go into detail.
This song was one of my favorite Sonic songs growing up. While it may not be anymore because of my distaste in rap, it still has a great instrumental. So I made an arrangement that mixes all the different versions of it-Original, Zebrahead, Crush 40, Solaris Phase 2, and E3 2006-all into one.
Note: Since the song's verses are rapped, they cannot be but into musical form without it sounding "off."

The best arrangement of Toads Factory from Mario Kart Wii ever made
This song is a banger and a half
So someone dared me to make a better arrangement of Toad's Factory than them, and so I did. I think I did a pretty good job with this, if I do say so myself.
I don't have any nostalgia for this song or game, since I didn't grow up with this game, so I am the only person in existence.
And so now the history of sporks: A combined spoon, fork, and knife closely resembling the modern spork was invented by Samuel W. Francis and issued US patent 147,119 on February 3, 1874. Other early patents predating the modern spork include US patent 904,553, for a "cutting spoon", granted on November 24, 1908, to Hariet Tubman when she refused to give her seat up during the Civil Rights movement. Ultimately, this resulted in the assassination of JKF, contrary to JFK's motto: "Nothing bad ever happens to the Kennedy's."

Yo it's that one Castlevania song from Smashy Bros
So this theme is one of the most iconic songs across the Castlevania franchise, and for good reason. Richter's theme is both catchy and powerful, and I wanted to capture that feel while still keeping those classic Castlevania guitar parts. I also made this a mix of the Rondo of Blood/Dracula X, Portrait of Ruin, Smash Bros., and Castlevania 64 versions all together into one, big arrangement.
Oh yeah I guess I could talk about the Castlevania Netflix show, now. I absolutely loved the first show, but I will leave that for another time. As for Nocturne, I had mixed opinions on it. The fight scenes were sick as hell, but the characters and plot left a lot to be desired. I was not a fan of a lot of their designs, especially Richter's. His eyes are way too blue and they really don't need to be glowing that much like is he gonna blind all the bad guys with his intensely bright blue eyes? Anyways, I also didn't really like Annette that much. For one, they basically just made an entirely new character and just made her Annette that Richter is supposed to marry and stuff and I just don't undertsand why they did nso much to change her entire character like that it really doesn't make much sense. Yeah, they changed Hector and Issac for the first show but the way they did those characters there made up for the fact that they weren't like their game counterparts. Idk they did those characters justice and then Annette is just...alright. I defintiely don't believe the romance between her and Richter, tho. Definitely feels rushed as of now. I feel like if I keep talking about how much I don't really like Annette's character, I'm gonna be labelled as something I'm not and in reality I just don't think she's a very well wSimons Theme - Super Castlevania IVCameron Cadima2023-12-15 | Try the interactive tutorial, or download the Sheet music here: musescore.com/user/13873941/scores/13392106?from=youtube_share Theme of Simon Belmont from Super Castlevania 4
Simons theme is one of, if not my most, favorite songs from the entire Casltevania series. I really wanted to make this a mix of orchestral and rock, almost like a mix of the Portrait of Ruin and Arcade versions of this song. It didn't quite work out as I really wanted it to, but I think I'll do much better with it in a full orchestral setting (hint, hint).

So you know how last year I said I would do more Castlevania songs? Well I'm finally following through with that and doing another Castlevania arrangement. Only took a year and a half.
This song is found in like, every game in the series. And I am not opposed to that at all. I'm going through the series's soundtrakcs right now and it's been pretty good so far. some games are great and others are...well. But everytime this song comes on I start jamming. I took bits from a lot of the games it appears in to make this arrangement, especially the original and Rondo of Blood/Dracula X.
I have also realized how similar in style this is to my Shade Man arrangement from Mega Man 7. I mean they're pretty similar in ideas with being vampire/Dracula themed, so I guess it makes sense
I promise I will do more Castlevania songs besides these two that I've done. I just have to find the time (and motivation) to do them. Right now I'm gonna try and work on some Xenoblade songs before going to do more Mega Man and hopefully some more Castlevania soon.
I'm thinking of doing a song or two from (most) Castlevania games as these soundtracks are right up my alley for arranging. After hearing every single soundtrack to every single Castlevania game, I have grown to absolutely love this series and it's music.
And, yes, I do mean EVERY game, including the goddamn Pachislot games that for some god forsaken reason have their own original soundtracks and have some of the best remixes/songs in the entire series like what the actual hell why are these machines that no one will ever play have some of the best soundtracks?
But anyways, I will be arranging a song from most of the mainline Castlevania games. I won't be arranging songs from games like Haunted Castle or the Game Boy games, as those soundtracks aren't really the songs I want to arrange right now. Maybe I'll do them another time but I just want to get the mainline games done with, first. And I'm not doing Haunted Castle because the only song I'd do would be Cross of the Heart and tbh I don't want to arrange that song since the Smash remix is literal peak and there's nothing I could do to top that remix, and so I won't even try. Maybe I'll do that later. But for now, the next song will be from Super Castlevania IV, and you can probably guess which song it is.Dog thinks hes a catCameron Cadima2023-06-09 | ...Boss Theme - PLOK!Cameron Cadima2023-05-22 | Boss Theme from PLOK!
The hardest beat drop in SNES history
So originally I had this song start out similar to the original in how it was a lot more techno-style/synth-y, and then it would turn into metal for the repeat. Then I decided it just sounded better staying as metal the entire time. So yeah. Metal music on musescore
I'm not sure what else to say about this game, really. I have literally only heard this song and never even seen the gameplay. So uh

Probably didn't need to link to their profile since you're probably already following them. But that's what I would have wanted from them to do for me so I'll do it for them.
So I have wanted to arrange this ever since this game came out. And it was in my Sonic medley really early, too, if anyone still remembers that. I never got around to it due to changing how I do things with musescore, my overall direction, and just life overall. I then was finally ready to get to this around March of this year, but then I discovered soundfonts and I made sure to not arrange this until I found a good sax soundfont. CK Scores told me about a good one and I used it and the rest is history.
I knew I wanted a solo section but I also knew if I did the solos by myself it would not be as good as I wanted it to be. So I asked the VGM Discord if anyone would be willing to write a solo for this and Xiao said, "sure." They wrote the piano, trumpet, and bass guitar solos, mostly because I knew I couldn't write a good solo for those instruments and they did the bass because they thought it would be cool. So now there's 6 solos instead of the planned 4. Hey, I'm not complaining. I did the vibes and sax solos. Xiao also really improved the piano solo from the actual song that I had, so major thanks to them.
Midterms are coming up so last score I upload until like, next month, probably.The Lord of the Rings MedleyCameron Cadima2022-09-02 | A string quartet medley of music from The Lord of the Rings movies
So these are my favorite movies of all time. And the music is so good. However, I haven't had any way to really bring that up for my arrangements before. So I decided to make a medley and upload it today.
I knew that a full orchestration would be too much, so I decided to do a string quartet that *should* be playable.

Lost a lot of time dying to dumb stuff and menuing. Also I've not played this game in 2 years. Also I've never tried speedrunning this game before. Honestly what didn't I lose time for?

Ok, so it's not actually "Jam," but it pretty much is. It does use some samples from it, and it was composed by Jackson's team he brought with him to help compose this game.
Was originally going to not include a repeat for this song. I was going to just go straight from the cut off to the buildup part. Decided it was too short like that, so I made it repeat
Really liked how this turned out, honestly. Thought this was going to be hard to orchestrate, but it turned out pretty well

I've done one for the other games, with a tuba solo for Sonic 1 and a trombone solo for Sonic 2. I guess it's kind of a thing, at this point.
I was just trying out different instruments with the main melody and stopped once I got to violas. It sounded good, but then I tried a viola solo. And I kept it. Liked how it sounded
Didn't think I'd do a viola solo of all things, but I think it sounds good, so I'll take it
Also it gets really fast in this single version.

So after taking two weeks off from uploading, I'm back and better than ever! I really needed these two weeks off so that I could focus solely on arranging music. And I have 12 songs in my backlog, so I can upload whenever I want, now.
Now for the actual arrangement
One-Winged Angel is one-of the most recognizable songs in gaming history. I had to make sure that when I did an arrangement of it, I had to do it right. I took all 3 versions from the original, the movie, and the remake and combined them into one of my best arrangements ever!
The arrangement is kind of set-up where it jumps from the original to remake versions every "section."
The Advent Children section was probably the hardest section, as I didn't have much to work with, and the electric guitar was not loud enough. But I managed to do what I did.
I prompted to use two electric guitars like I normally do, but as you can hear in most of the Remake sections the electric guitar is not playing. It just sounded better without it playing and so I left it out for most of it. Additionally, I left it as just one-guitar.
Just like how this song was the first in the Final Fantasy games to have lyrics, I decided this to be the first arrangement to have lyrics.

don't have many plans for more gen 4 music. Maybe route 210. I do think that gen 4's music is on the lower side of all pokemon music. Most people say it's good because of nostalgia. I don't have that because I first played this game when I was 16 and could buy it myself
Also Legends Arceus is really fun, which is really surprising for a modern Pokemon game
