Final Fantasy VII – Cosmo Canyon ( Grimecraft x Cutman Remix)

Leave a comment

Cosmo Canyon ( Grimecraft X Cutman remix)Cosmo Canyon is the new single from GameChops. It features a collaboration between Grimecraft and Dj CUTMAN. Download it now from iTunes and Loudr.

Cutman tells us a bit about his experience with the song:

I wrote this song on my Game Boy while I was visiting in Germany several years ago. I sat in a public park around sunset and something reminded me of the scene from Final Fantasy VII, so I programmed it on my LSDj cart. 

I hadn’t recorded the song until recently. Grimecraft and I were Skyping one day, and I had my Gameboy in front of me and was toying around with another idea. I decided to load up my old save file and when he heard it, he asked me to send it to him. I recorded each channel separately, warped it in Ableton, and send him the project file.  Over the next few weeks, we put together the single. If you download it from Loudr, you’ll get a recording of the original Gameboy chiptune.

When I was first learning, I found it an overwhelming to go through so many tutorials that either didn’t show practical use of compression or didn’t explain why you’d do it. So we’re going to start from the very begining and keep moving onward from there.
