I will compose and arrange chiptune music based on a wide variety of games


About this gig
For each time I'm commissioned, I will use Furnace Tracker or 0cc-Famitracker to either write or remix a song of your choosing, using whatever chips we decide on! Using the tools and music files I've gathered across the years, I can write music mimicking quite a few games, consoles, arcade boards..lotta weird stuff I'd say!

FAQ
Why does your overview show a software you DON'T use?
Because I HAD to pick one and there wasn't an option for custom choices, nor were the DAWs I use listed...
What's your favorite soundchips to mess with?
That's hard to decide! The Famicom's VRC6 expansion is the first to come to mind, but I also like the YM2413, Capcom's CP System 1 (Street Fighter II), SEGA's System 16 (Fantasy Zone), and the Sega Genesis (with my favorite instruments being Hitoshi Sakimoto's), TurboGrafx-16 and GBA!
Are there any chips you won't write for?
It's mostly on a case-by-case thing, but I'm far less likely to take on things involving the OPL, OPL2, the OPL3 (OPLL is fine!) chips, or the NEO-GEO system. Feel free to ask me about potential compromises, however!
When did you start writing music? What kind of training do you have?
Actually, I'm mostly self-taught! I got my first DAW, a PS2 program named MAGIX Music Maker, when I was about 6 or 7, but I didn't get into chiptune until 2018! From there, I specialized in the NES entirely until I was introduced to Furnace in 2022, which allowed me to branch out!
Who do you think helped you get this far?
Well, I gotta thank my parents for helping me get started! I'd also like to shoutout MiniMacro Sound for teaching me how to properly use Famitracker; Lumigado for introducing me to Furnace; and Smedis2, NarfNRA, MelonadeM, and E3Kay for helping me obtain so many of the instruments I use now!
