![]() This one-man jam in the style of a classic LucasArts adventure takes place in 1920’s Norway and is written entirely in rhyme. The very first game soundtrack I listened to this year was the score to Mattis Folkestad’s adventure game Milkmaid of the Milky Way, which Folkestad developed, wrote, and scored by himself. One of the perpetual delights of these roundups is discovering soundtracks to indie releases that fly completely beneath my radar. ![]() I’m here with the month’s game soundtracks. Do you need something to distract you from the terrible news that’s plastered all over your social media, inescapably surrounding you as though you were “Rowdy” Roddy Piper in a real-life version of John Carpenter’s They Live? Well, take your sunglasses off and put your headphones on. In April, my songwriting partner Dale North and I will be joined by a cast of dozens of friends and collaborators, to make original video game music and educational music comedy shows every day, and share it live on Twitch and YouTube! Make sure to subscribe to twitch.Greetings, friends! It’s the beginning of a new year, and I return once again, my proverbial knapsack laden with auditory delights. This is the first album (of many planned) to be released by our new studio, Mint Potion. I intentionally limited myself to pure "chip" sounds (NES, Genesis, TurboGrafx16, etc) as building blocks, and used drum samples, along with studio mixing and effects tricks, to make the resulting minimal soundscape into a lush paradise of Necro beats! So, what you hear in this album differs slightly from the original, but is the same in many ways - it's my own personal Virt take on Danny's amazing melodies, bass lines, and harmonies. I wanted to keep the original music largely intact, with Danny's ideas mingling with mine, rubbing against them sensually, etc. ![]() Rather than over-analyzing the songs and recreating them note for note. What you're hearing is me relying entirely on my ear, working from an initial interpretation of music I was unfamiliar with. My version is currently playable on the Playstation 4 exclusively, so whether or not you have that version, here is all of the music I arranged, so you can drop it into Steam, or onto your phone!Įach song was played 100% live (including any drums that are not loops) and all melodies, solos, bass lines, and chords were improvised and played by hand. This is the latest in a series of official "alternate soundtracks," which are edited as drop-in replacements and remixes of the original score, to give your favorite game some new flavors. In Crypt of the NecroDancer, the amazingly original and multiple-award-winning game from Brace Yourself Games, you to move through a huge, randomized dungeon - and fight monsters - in time to the music! Your favorite handsome young composers, Virt and Danny B, are here to provide fun and inspiration in this improvised, minimal (for Virt, anyway) back-to-basics interpretation of the original Crypt of the NecroDancer soundtrack!
