BEHOLD THE 8-BIT GLORY!!! My music here is a reimagining of the intro for the open source version of Star Control 2: The Urquan Masters, and part of the Precursors remix project:<br /><br />http://sc2.sourceforge.net/<br />http://www.medievalfuture.com/precursors/<br /><br />The Intro was composed from four things:<br />my X5 keyboard,<br />my rusty old Ross RG10 guitar amp (which I love heartily),<br />the original soundtrack,<br />and "Shredder's Theme" from the TMNT movie soundtrack.<br /><br />Of the last two, only the intro 'boom' from SC2 is used as well as several 'boom' sounds I sampled from the beginning and end of "Shredders Theme" (and subsequently sped up/slowed down, combined & processed - heavily..). Incidentally, that theme is a great piece of work, and holds up today.<br />This came together pretty smoothly and quickly - without a lot of prior thought.<br />After that I did a ton of work - on both pieces - trying new plugins and different processing techniques -<br />No metronomes were harmed in the baking of this cake...
