Peach's Game Music

In 2007, years before I ever became involved in the OverClocked ReMix community, I was assessing the theme that played in the deserted town of Old Kasuto. It's a town that was overrun with monsters and brought to ruin, with lingering invisible ghost eyes called Moas. Considering all of this, I felt that the slightly restrained take on the Indoors theme just didn't quite fit the atmosphere. I imagi...

The successor to my Enhanced Game MIDIs series is here! My Remixed Game MIDI collection consists of transcriptions of game music, all leading into arrangements that contain new layers, much like the arranged entries of the previous series, but with even more potential for creativity. This time, all instruments come from my Yamaha Genos2 keyboard, using the best samples it has to offer, including t...

When I heard the official 8-bit arrangement of Voices of the Temple that features in the temple stages of Donkey Kong Land, I imagined that David Wise or Graeme Norgate intended a Spanish flamenco rock version of the original they dubbed "Ancient Beaver Bop" that Eveline Novakovic (née Fischer) wrote for Donkey Kong Country. I could practically hear the acoustic nylon guitar in the new material pr...

During the first peak of my involvement with the OverClocked ReMix community, I was brought on board June 2012 for Theophany's unreleased collaborative album for The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time. For my contribution, I was assigned the Hyrule Castle Courtyard theme. This led to the inspiration of emphasise sneaking into the courtyard through the castle gardens in a slightly more playful take o...

Undertale Purple a fan project headed up by Miracle_Captors714, who was inspired by the original Undertale and emboldened by the success of Undertale Yellow, an unrelated fan-made game. It tells the story of the purple SOUL of Perseverance, possessed by a human named Audrey who travels the Underground to research the mysteries of the world of monsters—both friendly and hostile. The in-game story b...

The music represented here is a sample of a game soundtrack I was composing with the KORG M01D software for the Nintendo 3DS in 2013. "Other Sky", a concept by Studio Ravenheart, is an idea for upcoming title for iOS and Android devices. Taking place in the protagonist's mind, the player flies through various stages reflecting the hero's emotions. It is a spiritual journey filled with elegantly ab...

Not long after the release of Donkey Kong Country Returns on the Wii in 2010, I realised that Ice Cave Chant from the Donkey Kong Country stage 'Slipslide Ride' in Gorilla Glacier never appeared as an enhanced arrangement in the game, while many others from the Super NES title did. And so, I saw this as an opportunity to create my own version while Returns was popular. In 2011, I started by famili...

This arrangement of Gruntilda's Lair from Banjo-Kazooie is the most ambitious piece of music I've ever tackled. I was assigned the track for a bigger project in 2011, but it was made to stand alone also as a medley that takes a tour through the lair and every world entry, akin to Disney's "It's a Small World". As such, it's a dynamic composition with movements that reflect over a dozen different m...

In 2010, a Zelda role-playing environment was being developed in Second Life. The setting was Termina, 100 years after the events of The Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask. According to the backstory, Clock Town flourished and grew over the century and became the capital city of the land. I was assigned to write this arrangement for the future Clock Town, which started on the Roland Fantom 06 workstat...

Know Your Enemy was a introspective series on GameXplain focusing individual baddies in various video games. Only five episodes released, with the last concluding in 2015. Before the series clearly slipped into indefinite hiatus, I started writing a theme in 2016 with hopes that it would be used in future episodes. It was first shown to the team at E3 2016, where I autistically blasted it from my...

My Enhanced Game MIDI collection consists of MIDI files I sequenced and routed through my Yamaha Motif ES8 keyboard, utilising its rather nice-sounding General MIDI samples. The staff view was played with Cakewalk and the presentation was recorded with OBS Studio. All instruments use the standard MIDI patches unless otherwise noted. To follow the notes in the sequence and to ensure the best sound...

The music represented here is an example of some of the original compositions that I wrote in the late 90s in MIDI format. Similar to my Enhanced Game MIDIs, these works use general MIDI samples from my Yamaha Motif ES8 workstation keyboard. Although they were polished for presentation with expression and mixing tweaks, these songs overall maintain the Super Nintendo-inspired composition style tha...

After GameXplain's Real Talk podcast ended in 2020, a rebranding was in the works. Unfortunately, this new podcast series never came into fruition, but it could in the future. Reflecting a more relaxing vibe, a new image with a sofa, Mario plush, and arcade cabinet in the background was made. For the theme, I explored a few ideas with The Easy Allies Podcast theme by FantomenK as a very loose insp...

This is a special record release from WarioWare D.I.Y. on the Nintendo DS. The Record Maker interface is limited, so not all music data can be accurate. Please keep this in mind when making a judgment on it. Since the Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection service has been discontinued, this record officially cannot be provided in WarioWare form anymore. Only a downloadable MP3 may be provided on SoundCloud. I...

This spacy theme was written exclusively for The Bit Beacon Broadcast, a gaming podcast hosted by Kodax (Taylor Greene), where a wide variety of topics relating to the game industry are discussed, with occasional guests like Ravenheart from Studio Ravenheart. In fact, Ravenheart created the podcast logo, including the Metroid-esque mascot called the Space Crustacean. The composition started as jus...

Melodies of Gaming is my musical analysis series that explores reimagined songs in official game titles, with the first 8 episodes hosted on GameXplain. And this piece serves as both the opening theme and ending theme by sampling the A and B sections. It's a jazz fusion with some inspiration from both a chord progression shown by a music instructor from nearly 30 years ago, and some flair from a J...

Here's some original music from Carpoon, a downloadable Windows game being developed by Tom Arnold from GameXplain! In Carpoon, you control a pick-up truck and harpoon escaping cars sentenced to recycling by car crusher, towing them to their doom! The game can be played in both single player and local multiplayer for competitive demolishing action. This theme—now extended—features on the Volcarnag...
