If there was a boomer shooter with good vibes instead of violent/edgy ones, this is what I think that game would sound like. A game titled something like "Bloom & Boom".

I love playstation/dreamcast era jazz fusion this evokes. It's such a great sound set and such a great arrangement.

Yes, hard agree! Exactly this! Very late 90s, early 2000s video gamey! Super cool stuff!

Damn, you have this impeccable ability of capturing that mid/late 90’s redbook audio feel and sound. This is great!

This track hangs together so well, the 90s DOS game vibes are off the charts!

Always amazes me the landscapes you’re able to evoke musically. Peak RPG music yet again, love it.

Love the concept, and that title's too perfect! It'd still need some of those slick ViridianLoom time-bending guitar solos though!

I'll have to check more of that out! Thanks for the recommendation. And thanks for listening!

Your gifs truly are the bees knees. Thanks!

So glad to hear it! Thanks Chrisfoo!

Thanks SQF!

Awesome! Thank you so much.

Thanks! It's been cool this week getting feedback on the decades the sound evokes. I want to see if I can get tighter control on that this year. (Well, kind of. I also just want to have fun blending all kinds of sounds together. )

Yay! Thanks Tone Matrix!

Definitely! You've got a great back catalogue, and pulling past tracks into the present is always a fun exercise.

Thank you!

I love that image, and that's not far off from what inspires me most to make music. This time of year especially, things that are usually dry and dusty turn bright green and then overwhelmingly colorful (especially if it's a superbloom year), and there's still enough of the rain season left over for massive clouds and occasional sun-showers. That's the kind of sheen and color I'd love to capture with sound.

Thanks 2haf!

Sweet! Thanks Mission Crossing. Any particular PS1 FF your favorite?

Thank you!

My favorite kind. Thank you!

Really appreciate that! Thanks for taking the time listen, both to this one and the previous ones!

Slap bass is the new cowbell for me. But now I just remembered I need more cowbell. Hehe, thanks!

Thank you!

Whaaaaaaaaaaa-
*two hours later*
-aaaaaaaaaaaaaat that's awesome! Take me there! I wanna rollerskate with capybaras!
...Okay, I can't actually rollerskate, but I could pet the capybaras when I fall down!
Hehe, thanks jwh!

Drift responsibly! And thanks for listening.

Same!

Thank you! now I just need to learn how to drive a motorcycle.

Hehe, what an image! Thanks!

Thank you!

That's so kind of you to say. Thanks Paisleyfrog!

the larvae you've been carying for the entire game finally hatches and this song plays during your party's first flight.

That heavy reverb makes it sound as if this track's played at a stadium concert. Not complaining, dreamy synthwave is always welcome in my book.

You used the "korg" tag, what KORG is that?

Sorry, I think I forgot to answer that before! The Korg hashtag is shorthand for the Korg Legacy Collection M1 library. (I use hashtags to nod to the sources of the sounds I worked with on a given track.) It’s been a nifty ingredient in a number of my tracks over the years. Not the most user-friendly interface, but still highly recommended if you’re interested!

As soon as I heard that drum intro I knew this track would jam. The bass that hit a few seconds later only confirmed what I already knew.

It feels nostalgic for a future that we accidentally passed right by. I think we better turn back and get it!

Amazing track.

This rocks! I had a thought while listening that some guitar would be cool and then the melody came in around :43. The driven/delayed guitar lines are sooo nice. Super interesting to hear the progression and similarities/differences - this one has a great energy to it.

Korg M1 FTW indeed. And more of that vibe is certainly in the plans if I can swing it. Thanks for listening!

Thank you!

Hehe, maybe, though the future-world of this mock game soundtrack is actually a little bit chaotic. 😅 But glad to hear you liked the track, thanks so much!
