A second foray into using realistic instruments! I'd been in the middle of playing Ghost Trick when I was working on this one, and the clavinet in Cabanela's theme influenced me enough to include one in my arrangement. If I could go back and change anything about this, I would think about adding a few drawn out mouth harp samples to really drive home the feeling of "This guy's a total weirdo..."
Crime Scene Contradictions (Arrangement)
A cover of one of my favorite songs from the Ace Attorney series, not only for its composition, but also for its length! As for the project itself, this was sitting unfinished for probably over a year before I decided to complete it. I've never used realistic instruments when making music before, so this is a first for me. Despite that, I think this came out pretty good.
Katamari on the Rocks (MOTHER 3 arr.)
A cover based off Korogashi Puzzle Katamari Damacy's Katamari on the Rocks arrangement. The taiko-ish sounding instrument was straight outta KPKD, but every other instrument is that of MOTHER 3's sound banks. One thing I've learned while making this is that Katamari on the Rocks has a really fucking cool bassline that is equally as catchy.
Wario Puzzle 1 (WarioWare, inc. arr.)
This cover was inspired by beco's unused arrangement of the same song in his hack, Wario Land 4: Parallel World.
Wario Land II - Perfect! (Wario Land 4 arr.)
I think I listened to the Smash Remix arrangement of this song, and got obsessed with it, leading me to cover the song myself, which, if I remember correctly, I finished in a single day. This one's been compared to a dolphin in a ball pit.
Announce the Truth 2002 (AAI arr.)
An arrangement of one of, if not my favorite Announce the Truth theme.
MAPPY - Main Theme (Wario Land 4 + MOTHER 3 arr.)
MAPPY! My favorite classic Namco arcade title. I love how ragtime-y the original song sounds. I thought how the Wario Land 4 honky-tonk would sound great for a song like this, and lo and behold, it does! My arrangement is also detuned by -50 cents for a more authentic sound.
Outta My Way ...It's Happy Hour! (WarioWare, inc. arr.)
Without a doubt my most popular arrangement. This was finished about a month after the final version of It's Happy Hour was released, garnering almost 30K views on YouTube. Disregarding numbers, I'm still really proud of this one.
Cold Spaghetti (WarioWare, inc. arr.)
The original Cold Spaghetti used a good bit of Wario Land 4's instrumentation so why not go all the way, 'n crank the Wario-ness up to 11?
Recipe for Turnabout (AAI arr.)
A short, but sweet cover of the intro theme to Ace Attorney: Trials and Tribulations' Recipe for Turnabout using the instrumentation of Ace Attorney Investigations.
