Blaster Master - Area 3 : Factory by @banjoguyollie
Hey folks, here's my cover of the original NES title by Sunsoft: Blaster Master, Factory / Level 3 music. I yet have to play the recent remake (whenever I get a switch ... if I ever) but the original was a blast to play. I didn't play it back then though but in more recent years. Were you one of the lucky ones to own and play it back then ?
Man was this one tricky to do. All of it rests on the first arpegios and getting these right is essential. I was able to get the original samples and decompose them into 2 mandolin tracks each. Add a heavy limiter and some echo and I was able to pull it off.
I wanted to get someone to sing/talk the "into", "the wonderful" parts but none of the youtubers I contacted bothered replying so I used the banjo instead and muffled the strings with the left hand to get the right tone... which ended up being the best solution in the end as it sounds perfect.
Hope you like it!

Bet you weren't expecting that one ? Well unless you were a Patreon, in which case you knew about it for a while now :)
I just wanted to do something different for this cover. I've been playing with a few apps of my friend Michael Eskin and always had it in mind to do a full song on the ipad. It was only after logging back into WoW for an hour or two that this song became lodge in my mind and I knew it was a perfect one to experiment with.

Well here it is, kickstarting the Amiga month, a cover I've been wanting to do for so long but only felt I could do the original composition justice now : The Final Fight / Intro theme from Turrican 2 by Chris Huelsbeck.
Sitting at 49 individual tracks, over 7 minutes long, this is my longest biggest and most ambitious cover to date. I took me weeks of planning , recording and editing. I had to work on this while working on my existing schedule, hence my silence on some social platforms at time. I feel this was worth it and I'm very happy with the way it turned out . I took some very minor liberties but all in all I tried to stay almost 100% faithful to the original composition.

This is the my cover of the Dwelling of Doom theme from Castlevania 2 - Simon's Quest on the NES .
This was super tricky technically (I should have expected that part really) and the execution is quite fast. In addition there's a harmony that needs to be tight behind the lead so I had to do quite a lot of practicing in order to get it right ... which took the most part of a week to nail down, leaving things quite late for recording and editing. AAaaaaand I decided, late, to add the accordion and bagpipes late in the editing process which didn't help with my schedule... but it was worth the effort , I'm pretty happy with the end result and this certainly a fun challenge.
