30/11/2024 - New Album Release; Game Lounge - Vol. 4
More gaming remixes with MIDI I found online and feature the game music from old school games such as Aladdin, Street Fighter, more from Mortal Kombat and Crash Bandicoot, Rayman, Ghosts And Ghouls, and Batman Returns. I would say they are mostly Electronic Dance music-type beats and stuff to dance to or to chill with and also some Electronic beats. My favourites on the album are Roller Jungle, Fighter Street Selection and Chateau Candy which I quite like a lot but as always I do like them all or I wouldn’t put them out lol. The Batman Returns song Return Of Batman was the hardest to make it just didn’t sit right in the mix but I made something playable in the end. The others were quite straightforward, just taking chunks of the melody and putting it into its sampler. I made visual videos of the tracks and the visuals themselves with the original song.

More gaming remixes with MIDI I found online and features the game music from old school games such as Manic Minner, Alex The Kidd Miracle World, Sonic The Hedgehog 1, Sonic The Hedgehog 2, Mario Bros and Batman Returns. I would say they are mostly Electronic Dance music-type beats and stuff to dance to or to chill with. My favourites on the album are Manic, Selena and Cave Mystic which I quite like a lot but as always I do like them all or I wouldn’t put them out lol. The Batman Returns song Selena was the hardest to make it just didn’t sit right in the mix but I made something playable in the end. I do like the Batman game songs the old ones I was thinking I’ll have to find more Batman MIDI files and make more cos they are very interesting and melodic which I love. The others were quite straightforward, just taking chunks of the melody and putting it into its sampler. I made two videos making two tracks which can be found on my second YouTube channel Game For Experimentation.Â

The next instalment of Gaming Lounge from MIDI I found on the website Kingdom Hearts Insiders which is a good source for MIDI gaming music. My favourites on the mini album are Ambience Aquatic, Marble Zone, Paper Round, Palace Gates, Honda and Cortex. which I used the MIDI and my synthesizers to rearrange the music into something a bit longer and different but keeping the same patterns from the MIDI files I found online. I picked my favourite gaming tracks from a wide range of consoles and arcade machines and the ones I learned and played a long time ago and I doubt I remember how to play them now. Music from the games Bubble Bobble, Mortal Kombat, Dynamite Dux, Sonic The Hedgehog 1, Rastan Saga and Tetris.

Looking back to yesteryear weren’t gaming music fun and catchy now it’s a bit boring but I still love my cinematic music but it doesn’t beat the old gaming music that weirdly enough got on my nerves but also loved at the same time. I have a few favorite I won’t name them but they are all in this mini-album that is of gaming songs but my own remixes of them which are electronic synthy vibes. When I was younger I used to play the piano and keyboard and learning gaming songs was one of the things I did in my spare time some were easier than some, and some you had to be quite nimble with the finger movements. I arranged all the tracks myself and used MIDI for the tracks which I found online using MIDI converters to get the right flow of the track, it’s quite a task and I’d rather play them but it takes too long to memorize the keys but I was thinking I should do something like that like practice songs on my keyboard again as it’s good practice especially when the well is drying up and you are not playing at your best due to overplaying or underplaying. I once set off some gaming music to Rockstar who as you know made Grand Theft Auto before the first one was made but never got used and I also used to make up gaming music in my spare time when I wasn’t at school on my Casio keyboard which is why I sent off the tracks to variety of companies which it was always nerve-racking and something I always dreaded. Music from games Sonic The Hedgehog 1, Street Fighter 1, Paper Boy, Alex The Kidd, Mortal Kombat, Donkey Kong 1 and Crash Bandicoot 2.
