The Rokko Chan Soundtracks

Leave a comment

If you haven’t had a chance to play the awesomely deep and surprisingly difficult flash game Rokko Chan, based off the classic MegaMan series, now is the time. Rokko Chan is a fan-made MegaMan game, with key change: the protagonist is a girl. Battle robot masters, gain new abilities, jump, shoot and dash your way to victory. What’s cooler? An epic, 64 track soundtrack/arrangement album with an all-star lineup.

Names like USK, Derris-Kharlan, FantomenK, Inverse Phase, Descendants of Erdrick, Zef, and even myself with help from Spamtron all lended their talents to remixes of Asagen’s original soundtrack for the flash game. Directed by the team at Nubuwo, this mega-sized 64 track Name-Your-Price album is not to be missed. Rokko Chan Soundtracks

Bagu and the Riverman: An All-Zelda Chiptune House EP

4 Comments

It’s a rare thing that I’m involved in something so epicly adventurous as this EP. Featuring music inspired by Zelda II: The Adventure of Link (composed by Akito Nakatsuka), this Chiptune / House / Moobah / Electro album is five tracks of solid adventuring badassery. It’s particularly monumental for me, as it’s the first collection of remixes I’ve done without samples of in-game music. Legendary chiptune tracking was done by Spamtron, using renoise and modtracker. I handled the drum sequencing and mixing. The result are epic, dancable, and, most importantly, fun! Pick up the EP (5 tracks with 2 bonus tracks) over at Bandcamp for only 5 bucks.

Spamtron – Yeah He Did Fanfic, Bye

Leave a comment

Chipmusician Spamtron just released a new album… this morning? I’m not sure, the man himself sent it to me via facebook, and it is awesome. Strong production and composition skills come together in this 8 track album, full of loud and proud chipmusic. From the high energy opening track 4.0 [rebirth/awakening], to the more mellow (but still tough as nails) Olympia [slugs raccoons and bug pets], the album explores a range of compositions while maintaining an upbeat, and somewhat gangster, mood. My favorite track, ctrl_alt_delete [solitudeapathy] is a driving, hard rocking track that I imagine I would put on while I drive my Dodge Charger through a highway of scattered zombies and defunct military equipment. But that’s me.

The closing track is a remix of Zelda’s Gerudo Valley. What’s not to like? What can I say? Spamtron is killing it.
