Video game composer Alex Moukala recommended that I recreate my favorite tracks from the SNES era in order to improve my arranging and mixing skills. I decided to start with "Wind Scene" from Chrono Trigger. It is by far my favorite vgm track of all time. So here it is, completely recreated by ear using the software and VSTs at my disposal: https://drive.google.com/file/d/15nNsmDuDFbI8AcFmv8MhWuYXD9iCNGkI/view?usp=sharing

I haven't published new music on my YouTube channel in over a month, but rest assured, that doesn't mean I haven't been busy composing!

I'm very happy to announce that we have hired an artist to design the album cover instead of relying on AI art. New music from the album will be dropping on my YouTube channel in the upcoming weeks. Don't miss it!

Welcome game developers, musicians, video game music lovers and all visitors, to my blog. This section is basically a blog where I will share my thoughts about music with you. I've never blogged before, so this will be a new experience for me. I plan to use this space to discuss my compositional approaches, the gear I use (hardware and software), my favorite VSTs, my thoughts about video game composers and their music, my own music, my collaborations, and many more topics. We'll talk soon!
