Monkey Island, like Dune is a game I first discovered and played on my old #Amiga and eventually replayed on my dad's PC... and on my own again with the HD remake :)
BUT, man, has this theme been stuck in my head for months (years!) now.
I've been meaning to cover it for ages but was always slightly worried about being able to pull off the backing lines (on the banjo).
They are in fact two separate tracks on the original that weave in and out of each other, so I learned them and played them this way.
I had to simplify it slightly though for the sake of clarity.
It took me a while to get the right balance levels too as it's pretty much essential here since the track is so busy.
The mandolin playing the lead was much louder in my original drafts making it much harsher, I toyed with the idea of removing it completely but it ended up being slightly too dull with just the flute(s) then.
Rhythm chords were initially on the banjo too but the ukulele works much better in this case and gives a rounder yer clear feel .
This is by far the tune that took me the most time to post-edit to get right,
I must have spent a good week and a half on small balance details :)
I also decided to to away with the intro and outro as the "main" part of the cover is the most iconic really, and went an played it twice through.

Anyway, here it is, kicking off October with "spooky" tunes with the Silent Hill main theme on the PS1. The tune itself isn't really that spooky but the game definitely was and made that intro tune all the more eerry in retrospect.
What were your initial impressions when you first played the game and after finishing it ?

It's Kirby time ... then again, when is it not kirby time ?
In this cover I give the Gourmet Race theme from Kirby Super Star on the SNES. Developped by Hal Laboratories, this was a classic on day 1

SO a while back I decided I should probably make a video to plug the Patreon page, both on the channel and as an intro on Patreon. I made a few tries that just felt like I was e-begging and some that were bland and just boring. Nothing I was happy with.
So I just took a break (and a couple of whiskeys) and things got a bit out of hand and crazy & random ... this is the end result .
I don't think it's a super effective Patreon video and it ended up taking me waaay too much time to do annnd it's claimed (and rightfully so) because of the use of the Mind Heist soundtrack, but I've had a good laugh making it so I thought I'd keep it and share it . Enjoy

Not sure what to tell you on this one folks. Sometimes you're just walking on a country lane and you just think of a bad pun. Then you find yourself actually making the music to it... and before you realize it, you've a whole video going ...
