A new dawn Ys I: Ancient Ys Vanished metal with piano may 2009 2:50 / 5.62 mb

my proper entry for the Ys DoD(external link). turned out just fine in my opinion.

man, i should really write these writeup things right after i finish the songs when i still have something to say about them (see below for another example).

Five-finger discount Ys III: Wanderers from Ys metal may 2009 1:20 / 2.52 mb

this was my alt entry for the Ys DoD(external link). an arrangement of the shop theme.

To reminisce is to relive Journey to Silius, Batman, Bionic Commando, Werewolf: The last warrior, Ninja gaiden pure metal january 2009 5:32 / 10.9 mb

this was originally going to be a 10 minute epic medley of songs from (sidescrolling(external link)) games i played when i was a young boy. in the end i decided to drop half of the songs to have at least some musical coherency in it. i believe that choice was the right one.

this song has a fade out. some people hate fade outs unconditionally, some don't mind them. when used correctly, i don't mind.

Seiren Thunder Force 3 organic metal january 2009 2:44 / 5.69 mb

my alternate entry to the MAGFest 7/sidescroller month DoD(external link). someone requested Thunder Force 3 music from me so i did this.

Cyclops and Storm lose, Juggernaut wins X-Men vs. Street Fighter, Marvel Super Heroes superhero rock/metal/pop october 2008 4:50 / 9.53 mb

i think this turned out a bit weird. i couldn't decide which one i'd do, Cyclops or Storm, so i did a medley. and i liked that Juggernaut ending song so much that i wanted to get that in this too. i was going for a "lighter" sound overall than my usual, so i dialed down the gain on the rhythm guitars to almost 0. see if you notice any difference.

i entered september's superhero DoD(external link) with this song, and much to my surprise i placed first.

P.S. SnappleMan made me do it.

Fall of Garuda KAGE (aka Shadow of the Ninja, aka Blue Shadow) epic metal august 2008 9:04 / 16.8 mb

my last month's DoD(external link) entry. i must have done something right, since it was a free month and i won. and by a decent margin, too: i got 85 votes and M-H in second place got 51. yeah, overall i guess it's my best vg arrangement this far. it's also my longest song to date.
