8-Bit Glory

Mar 12, 2009 18:42

I finished my second arrangement in Mario Paint Composer with my version of the Kid Icarus Theme from the NES game. It's pretty much exactly the same as far as I can hear, aside from Mario Paint's limited octave range and some minor flourishes I added, because I did it by ear to train my external sound-to-mind translation abilities. Going through the piece note by note made me realize how incredible NES song compositions can be, and I've got myself an 8-bit NES sound program now to write the actual stuff with... but it's complicated. I'm fascinated by chip music--most likely because I spent so much time listening to music on my C64 as a kid.
