It was my birthday at the end of June!

To celebrate that week, I worked on or finished up a little set of RPG tracks in my most favourite, most relaxed style. I mean I worked on all but 3-4 of them in a very relaxed, indulgent way, just playing back and back via Logic and adding things where I thought they should go. Honestly that’s something I do fairly often, but in usual circumstances I’d likely also start with a sketch or something a bit more intentional — often more efficient, but I definitely still ended up with some fun stuff!

Also I’ve been using and enjoying the Digital Sound Factory sounds — I got an upgrade to the Kontakt version of their Proteus 1-2-3/Orbit/Planet Phatt set and it really was worth it! …though I was happily loading up enough instruments that I did realise that also each of them is incredibly lightweight (kilobytes), multiple instances of Komplete Kontrol are not.

Anyway.

Above is the set to listen to on YouTube.

And here it is to get on itch.io to add to your game!

And here’s some of the cover/concept art that I generated with craiyon by asking it to mimic Amano’s style!

More futzing around with olde sounds, sketching some general various themes

I mean, the name is ridiculous and I dunno if I’ll stick with it – but I probably should. Ridiculous is absolutely fine for this. My some kind of crossover rpg fighting game soundtrack is nearly ready. And we’re going with Shadows/Infinity: Battle Zone, I guess. (Capitalistion is not confirmed, but high level of specific punctuation seems quite in-genre. And it comes from Shadows of Fortune, my first imaginary game series from my teenage years, x Infinity Crystal and Infinity Crisis. Plus “battle” because it’s a fighting game.)

And now… a listening page!

— and let me know any issues with playing these on various devices as well as whatever general feedback 🙂 Getting back into my webpage making and figuring out audio (…did you know the silent mode/physical mute button on the iPhone works in a REALLY INCONSISTENT WAY? Yeah.)

These are pre any final mixing and mastering (and only excerpts anyway), but here’s the general idea! Do you like the track art? 😀 it’s mostly from artbreeder.

Earlier post here.

I was putting all the tracks so far onto a playlist and iTunes, and it’s just tipped over the 1 hour mark, which is a nice mark, but aside from which… I think we’re just about if not completely done with this “OST”! …with the composing of it anyway, still in any case will have to go over everything and then do a little mastering and getting everything leveled and lined up and decide how looped I want to present things.

Here are some more clips of the tracks I’ve done since then! They’re a mix of battle themes and walking/story themes, often but not always based on Main Themes or World Map types.

1. River Walk
2. The Absolute — remastered version of the penultimate track on the ANGEL BIRD soundtrack
3. Infinity Crystal Main Theme WINTER — twinkly wintery version of Infinity Crystal‘s main theme. The original of this was a more standard FFVII style slow orchestral piece — rather similar to:
4. Shadows of Fortune II Main Theme — early 2000s, originally a midi, this piece has one of the more faithful to the original remakes

What is this? As I explained/vaguely alluded to:
