Andrew’s MIDI Christmas 2010!

Merry Christmas!
Christmas Lights

Ho! Ho! Ho! It’s Christmas time again and I’ve recorded a new mix of MIDI Music for the holidays!  After struggling for a while to fit this all onto one CD, I gave up!  It’s too long for one CD so take what you like and make your own!  All tracks were recorded using my Roland XV-5080, Fantom XR, and occasionally D-550 or SC-8850 synthesizers.  The album is pretty much all orchestral, big band, and jazz music.

Merry Christmas to all, and to all: Enjoy the music! 🙂

Duke Nukem 3D Revisited

I am slowly working on more of my remixes of the Duke Nukem 3D soundtrack.  I am calling it Duke Nukem 3D Revisited, akin to my remixes of the Doom soundtrack.

The first track that’s complete is the title theme ‘Grabbag’.  This track uses some new electric guitar patches that I created on the Roland XV-5080 from scratch using waveforms from the World Collection SRX board.  The background synth sound is one of my Roland D-550’s.  The drums are from the SRX-01 Dynamic Drums expansion board.

Enjoy!

Donkey Kong Country 2: The Enchanted Wood SRX

This is inspired by E3 2010 in a way, and Nintento’s announcement of an upcoming new Donkey Kong Country game for Wii.  Nintendo’s stuff for E3 this year is amazing!  God, I can’t wait to get a Nintendo 3DS some day!

Anyway, here is a remix of a really cool song from DKC2 MIDI done up on my Roland XV-5080 and Fantom XR.  Enjoy!
