    Hello world; I'm not yet dead!
    Returning to this video is quite an experience, at the moment of writing there are 30.000 of you who found your way here; with 100 of those leaving comments and over a thousand likes. I'm honored and humbled that so many found my work enjoyable! Even seeing it popping up in a few fan projects over the years fills me with joy and gratitude! 😄
    The purpose of this letter is twofold; for newcomers, welcome aboard! To those of you who patiently await new uploads; I'm sorry to have disappointed you. When changes happen in real life, sometimes you have to step back from your hobby projects. At this time I'm not yet ready to upload more covers, but I am alive and well. When I see this level of commitment and passion from you, inspiration and gratitude fills me.
    And just to clarify; YES! You have my consent to use these in any way you like. This is the internet and my covers are a drop in this vast ocean. I make no claims to these videos, it's just a love letter and a tribute.
    Thank you all very much! ❤

    The addition of a dissonant chord to the "hurry up" version of the overworld theme is such a perfect addition that I'll forever be surprised that it's not in the original version.

    4:40 This is proof that having a faster tempo is not enough to create tension in an otherwise happy overworld platforming theme. You need rapid pedal notes in the bass and diminished chords in the melody (pretty sure those are diminished chords there, music theorists feel free to correct me) to really feel a sense of urgency...which you did really well!
    My only real criticism is that these methods used in the overworld theme waeren't apparent in the underwater theme or the dungeon theme. That would've been sick hearing some sort of spooky counterpoint happening in the triangle wave, or even more chaotic duty-cycle moduation in the pulse wave.
    Regardless, I loved this VRC6 arrangement! If you're still doing stuff like this, can't wait to hear more

    • @fco64

      The music on the European version is so fast when the timer hits 100 secs this distortion happens but it's because the NES can't handle so many notes at the same time
