Episode 4: The Last Crusade of the Magical Monkeys!

What do you get when you play, Indiana Jones and the Fate of Atlantis, The Legend of Kyrandia, and Monkey Island 2?  Why, The Last Crusade of the Magical Monkeys of coarse!  It’s a nice Roland MT-32 showcase.

A very special thanks goes out to Arfy, co-hosting the show with me on this episode!

This is probably my most fun show yet!  I mess about playing through the beginnings of the games listed above.  Arfy and I talk about whatever comes to mind about the games, and things in general.

I also attempt to narrate what’s going on in the games.  For the record, I want to add that when I’m reading some of the dialog slowly, it’s because the words on the screen are appearing too slow for me to read fluently aloud.

I also added a good minute of post-show conversation between Arfy and I and a random Yamaha XG song he asked me to record on my MU128 a while ago.

Enjoy!

No Show Today.

Sorry, today’s show has been postponed to next week.  I am pre-occupied this weekend, hosting a pool party.  But keep on voting for next weeks show!  

Take care, and have fun!

Episode 3: Andrew’s MIDI Scramble!

Last night was a bit of a scramble for me.  I wasn’t able to prepare for the show properly due to some real life circumstances.  However, we got through listening to a bunch of my different synthesizers playing some of the same tracks to see how they compared in General MIDI sound.

Most of the comparisons were not really intended to be very objective, just a showcase of how the different synths may play things.  I might try to do something more objective in the future.

Overall, I think the show turned out OK.  It’s a very raw show with me running about plugging in different synths.  I forgot to lay in some background beds when I was just talking, I’ll try to remember that in the future, and always have something for background.

Episode 2: Doom Day!

Tonight, we revisited the music of the games Doom and Doom 2. All the tracks played were remixed by me using my Roland SC-8850 synthesizer.  Additionally, an archive of all the music can be downloaded below.

This was a pretty fun show, excluding some minor technical problems that cut the show a few minutes short towards the end.  Luckily, for the most part, the archive recording came out with very few of the glitches I was hearing live.

Enjoy!

“Doom” Show Tonight 7:00pm-ish to 9:00pm EST! Don’t miss it!

Don’t miss the show tonight!  Planning to start around 7:00pm, but depending on when I finish dinner, might start a bit later.

The votes are in, today’s game music will be from Doom and Doom 2!

I will be playing my own personally remixed versions of the entire Doom 1 soundtrack and some of the Doom 2 soundtrack.

It should be fun!
