Adventures on Snes Island
Built entirely from a Soundfont by Fluidvolt called “Yoshi’s Island Soundfont”, a collection of mapped samples taken directly from the Super Nintendo Entertainment System. The tune has a “sea shanty” flair to it, with a definite vintage video game feel.
In The Forest of the Night
Here’s another tune to add to your Halloween party playlist. It starts out with an eerie low droning synth that leads into a creepy piano motif. But there’s still room for drums, a throbbing tribal pattern by Looperman artist Anubis.
Whackin’ and Samplin’
My partner may not be a musician, but he loves percussion instruments. These “Boom Whackers”, plastic tuned percussion instruments, are among his collection. I decided to clip a lapel microphone directly to them and grab a few crisp, clear samples. With a note progression inspired by a #transanfan‘s name converted to notes, this up-tempo tune was born.
