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
Other than making music I like to make games especially retro-like games the older the better but I like current games as well and made a few now. This is the music from the retro platform game I made called Sin Bun Run and was inspired by a mascot I saw whilst on holiday in Cornwall but it looked evil and a bit sinister which later gave me a good character for a game. The game has seven levels and they are all hard and pretty long it was actually a nightmare to finish the level both playing and making but each level is a new world or scene. I made all the stuff in the game apart from the backgrounds and I opted to find free backgrounds that would be better than what I had in mind which was a real-life picture but it wouldn’t have gone with the retro theme I had in mind and was making. It’s quite a long album with thirty-six tracks that had six tracks on each level as I thought it would be annoying if you heard the same three tracks over so I went for six which I thought was a good number in the end and the best players won’t even get to the sixth track hopefully. I wasn’t going to release the album as a major release and I was going to keep it unreleased but since I got my other name which is this name Game For Experimentation I thought it be perfect to have it on all the major platforms under that name. I should point out the mascot I saw on holiday was a pink rabbit and actually, it was a female rabbit. I didn’t see the gender of it at first until I read it on the Park Dean website which is the holiday camp I stayed at and saw the mascot to. All the music on this album are from my gaming synths and specialize in making Chiptune and 8 Bit music which reminds me the 8 Bit version of this album can be found on my paid Bandcamp page where I changed the settings to get the 8-Bit feel. This version on all the major platforms is 24 Bit and had to be, to be released or I would have released it as an 8 Bit album to get the proper feel of it but feel free to change it to taste. All you need is the free software Audacity to change Bit or go to my paid Bandcamp page where it’s up and the only place to get the 8 Bit version. I don’t have a favourite on the album I like them all and think they are all different feels. I tried to fit the feel of the level, for example, cave music or woodland music but all in Chiptune and 8 Bit music form. I also tried to think back to what old school Chiptune and 8 Bit music sounded like and tried to match it a little with all the drums and synths patterns I made using a drum sequencer and my keyboard to play the melodies. If you want to try the game Sin Bun Run it can be found in the Arcade section of this site under Gaming Lounge or the link which I’ll leave at the bottom of this page if you feel like killing a few hours and jumping around franticly you might enjoy it.
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.
