I was trawling my old music collection and found a chiptune remix of a song you may recognize. Check it oot!
It was one of a handful of tunes for a PC game that didn’t quite materialize, attached to the webcomic Goats. It had something to do with kittens and poptarts, and for whatever reason we decided that all the music should be chiptune remixes of well-known 80s songs.

The above link takes you to 8bitcollective, where a couple of other remixes of mine are held. Enjoy!

20th Century, eh? Like the nerdiest, difficult listening music. Set theory, 12-tone rows..

So! Cutting to the chase, I stayed up a few hours past my bedtime and made a 12-tone row Nintendo piece. I call it  NINTENROW.

(ah, hahaha.)

Anyway, it’s an overworld/area map and then it steps into pause mode, and then battle mode… and a little victory ditty before going back to the overworld/area map.

I used the following row: C F D# G# A# G D A B E F# C#
and its inversions and retrogrades.

I feel so nerdy right now, it’s awesome.
