This channel is a collection of my game-inspired original music and game remixes from my ongoing "VGM Mixup" project, which transforms classic game music into modern orchestrals and devolves modern orchestrals into 8-bit and 16-bit remixes.

Famitracker Session - Realm of Order: Arisen - Overworld Battle
I finally decided to learn Famitracker! This music was originally composed in a DAW using the Chipsounds plugin. Here is a recreation of the music using Famitracker which approximates the original as much as possible. This by no means shows what the music will sound like in the finished game (which will still rely on my DAW production).

Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom - Proving Grounds 8-bit Remix
Переглядів 1,3 тис.Рік тому

Zelda: BotW - Horse Riding (Night) 8-bit
Переглядів 827Рік тому
Continuing on with my work on the daytime horse riding music, here's a similar 8-bit treatment for the nighttime music. This one famously includes a quote of the original Legend of Zelda theme, so for a bonus I included two other themes: Zelda's Lullaby and Epona's Theme! Follow me!

Sonic - Spring Yard Zone DX7 Remake
Переглядів 1,3 тис.Рік тому
I recently found a Yamaha DX7 at a local music shop, and after playing around with it I realized how much it has in common with the Sega Genesis sound system (which is a Yamaha FM synth chip). My first reaction was to remake something from the Genesis, and Sonic the Hedgehog is a great place to start! I've always loved the Spring Yard Zone music, so it was great to get a chance to learn this tu...
Original Music - Nightmares Demo - Menu & Gameplay
Переглядів 62Рік тому
I scored a demo Unity project called "Nightmares" using Wwise for the implementation of the adaptive elements. Here is a linear version of the music where you can enjoy the fun/spooky music outside the context of the game. I'm looking to also share a video the gameplay so you can hear how the music adapts to the gameplay. Stay tuned!

Original Music - Final Fantasy 7 Rescore with Wwise Live Demo
Переглядів 1672 роки тому
Welcome to my Final Fantasy 7 Rescore project, where I wrote all original music (as if I was hired to compose music). To showcase my work I created a Wwise project to demonstrate the adaptive aspects of the music and how it can be manipulated by a game engine. You will see me do a Live Demo of my Wwise project alongside a video of edited FF7 gameplay footage. The video takes you from the menu s...

Original Music - Town Theme (for the upcoming game Realm of Order: Arisen)
Переглядів 852 роки тому
This is a working version of the Town Theme from a game that's currently in the works by @xFoondom . It's in a classic 8-bit style, which is departing slightly from my own "8-bit Orchestral" sound and going more for an actual classic NES sound (games like Zelda, Dragon Quest, or Final Fantasy). Disclaimer: this does not necessarily represent the final product, and things could change at any mom...

Imagine if someone made a rom hack of Final Fantasy VI & replaced the boss theme for only the Guardian robot boss with this soundtrack. That would be hilarious!
Came here from Star Fox 64 music! I love this I love you! Thanks for all your hard work and passion! You are the best ever!! Love from Costa Rica
simply press ↑ ↑ ↓ ↓ ← → ← → B A (sometimes followed by START and/or SELECT )
Thanks so much for your kind words! Glad to have you here.
@@ChristopherNiskala thank you thanks hype thanks for quick reply dang I love you even more. Kind words are to be used 💖💖💖
I’ve been following you for your music for a while now but let me just say you deserve more attention than you get.
Thanks for following me all this time. I’d rather have fans like you that appreciate what I’m doing than amassing lots of followers by catering to the “algorithm.” Even though I don’t have a ton of followers here, I’m working on a few games and I teach game audio at Berklee College of Music, so I’m pretty happy at the moment 👍
I used to be an adventure like you till I took an pixel in the knee
Well, now I kind of want to play a 2D top down pixel art demake of Oblivion...
Nie ma Śnieżnego Pola (No Snow Field)?
Muszę przyznać, że to bardzo oryginalne podejście do tej gry i jej ścieżek muzycznych :)
Damn, you really nailed it! And i am getting super nostalgic 🥲
Sounds super Mario worldish. 😜
This sounds straight outta a LIVE adaptation. Needs WAY more views 👍👍
When the beat drops the bombs did to
stunningly beautiful. excellent interpretation.
What a banger ❤
Oh god road most traveled sound horrifying when you put it on 0.5 speed
FANTASTIC!
Words can not express just how much I love this
First!
this was uploaded 8 years ago and somehow never went viral
What an excellent work!!!!

Wonderful! How can I get the music Score and parts?
I didn’t write out a score and parts for this (yet). Are you looking to play this with an ensemble?
Wish we could import these into the game and use it alongside the Pixelwind mod
If someone is working on a mod for this, let them know to contact me.
@@ChristopherNiskala Pixelwind is just a texture mod. I was thinking more a download for each song that we can just copy paste into our Morrowind folder and overwrite the regular music like with other custom music. I'm going to use Pixelwind for my next playthrough and having music to fit would give me a whole Retrowind experience. Do you happen to have a download for the songs? I understand if you don't want people to have your music outside of your channel.
@@barronTV1 that’s right,I forgot that TES games just had a folder with the music in it. However, I don’t have a version with the music split up. It’s really intended to flow from one into another.
@@ChristopherNiskala I think Morrowinds songs fade in and out so that shouldn't be much of an issue. If you was up to splitting them up you could even upload em all as a pack to the nexus.
favorite theme from sonic 1 since the first day played that level.
Mind if i use this in a fan game I'm making? (Will obviously put you in the credits)
Sure that sounds cool. Would you want the sections split up into the separate pieces of music?
Nah I can just do it myself with some editing software. Thanks for the offer tho (and for letting me use the music xD)
@@-Chadnik ok cool. I’d love to play the game when it’s done. Please let me know when it’s out.

It all makes sense doesn’t it
Eight films and eleven main games somebody should notify retro sound effects mashups asap
Me when I try to do my homework:
If Contra was a 90's movie
Eh more like a classic 80s action movie.
THIS IS REALLY GOOD!!!!! You have no idea how happy I am that someone finally got around to making recreations of Sonic tracks on the DX7, considering just how immensely related its soundchip is to the Genesis' and the SY77's (which was the workstation Masato Nakamura used to make the demo tracks). Absolutely wonderful!!!!!!!
Awesome, glad you like it!
I'd love to hear this in Daggerfall.
What did you use for this? FM Synthesizer? It's almost like the old Y chip Sound Blaster card. Cheers! A Friend in Chicago 🌙 MoonDog
I actually used SNES soundfonts for this. From a variety of games.
this is beautiful
Thanks. Much appreciated!
I hope super contra 2 next
Its like epic story of contra
would be so cool if someone used this as a boss theme in a mario world rom hack
If someone asked permission to use it, I would almost definitely say yes! 👍
Nearly close what instruments did you use?
I used one instrument: the Yamaha DX7.
@ChristopherNiskala I mean what patches did u use from it?
Sorry, totally misunderstood. I’m not going to list it all here, but I can say that they see one I got doesn’t have any of the factory patches on it. Not sure where they came from. It does have the Grey Matter Response mod. I did make one patch myself. That was the chimey melody sound.
This is doing things to me
Good things I hope 😁
