This thing is kind of my magnum opus right now. I've made some "albums" before, but this is the most amount of time and effort I've ever put into a project regarding music so far and what really got me back into working with LMMS. There's some context down below, if you're interested how it came into existance, but if you aren't: It's VGM! I tried to be as shamelessly fun, cartonny and videogamey with it, as I could. The SunSoft picked bass is in there. It's everywhere in fact. A cover of "Believe in Myself" is in there. A lot of jokes and references are in there as well. If you're into that kinda stuff check it out. If not it should still be pretty fun to listen to. Obviously I'm very open for feedback, since it's my first major project like this. Do the tracks blend together into a cohesive musical identity? Are they fun enough? Do you think they would work in a game context? Among other things you may think of.
Since they were designed for use in a game the originals all have loop points - I emulated this with fade outs or rewrote them slightly to give a clearer ending where possible. So keep that in mind.
Okay, now for some context: I offered a friend working on a game project some assistance and he was really happy with my work so I took on the soundtrack among other things. It was supposed to be a storydriven shootemup featuring the Scratch cat and several other of the standard characters. If you know it you might think of an ambitious game project being made in a tool like Scratch as massive red flag, but I didn't really mind. I'm happy for any opportunity to make music with a purpose and add to some (more or less) emotional experience. It was a great learning experience as well. Unfortunately he scrapped the project. Since I had put so much time into it I decided to finish up the OST anyways as best as I could and even dug and patched up some discarded concepts and sketches to complete tracks. As a soundtrack to something that doesn't really exist it's more of a fun emotional journey now. I kept the references to some of the original context as hidden as possible due to worries about licensing stuff. All fanboy references are still as clear as day however, so maybe someone will spot them.
EDIT: By the way, I just realized I forgot a track. I know, pretty embarassing, right? So - "Space Opera" is now available as well.
