Hi, I'm Grayson Solis, and this is where I post my latest soundtracks, doodles, practice songs, and covers!
Snake Man Theme [Famitracker - 2a03 Arrangment]
One of my FAVORITE songs from Mega Man 3, a cult classic, it's Snake Man's theme! It's got such a unique feeling to it, an amazing bass line that I've stole in a million different compositions of my own, and much more. I was especially proud of how the percussion turned out on this one, and how some of the instruments flowed together. I hope you all enjoy

Bot Hunt! (Reprise) [Bot Hunt! OST]
มุมมอง 5414 ชั่วโมงที่ผ่านมา
Probably my favorite song on the entire soundtrack. It's really just a reworking of the main title theme, which I wrote first, but I think because I wrote this one last and about 2 years later, it's just such a bittersweet bookend to the entire soundtrack for me. It definitely has a different sound than the others because of how late into development I wrote it, but even so I like it more becau...

I don't listen to much Porter Robinson, but my client that I was writing this for listened to a lot of his stuff. This track is directly inspired by Robinson's work! When I'm writing music for someone, I like to get to know what kind of music and games they like, because I find that being inspired by my client's inspirations ALWAYS leads to more cohesive music in-game. It also gives me more sou...

I'm really proud of the bass line on this one, in addition to the chord progression. I was inspired by the Mario Kart series' race ending theme. As the title implies, this plays during the end of a hide and seek round in the game while the scores are being displayed. - Here's a link to the game so you can play it yourself: bothunt.io/ - Listen to the soundtrack on Spotify!: open.spotify.com/alb...

Can you guess what inspired me to make the name? This song plays when you are the hider, and are actively being pursued by the Seekers in game. During the time I was writing this one, I was listening to a lot of Fela Kuti, so I really focused in on the percussion especially. It kinda felt like a big jam session while writing it, super fun! - Here's a link to the game so you can play it yourself...
Hide and Seek [Bot Hunt! OST]
มุมมอง 65วันที่ผ่านมา
A simple track, that I filled the space of with a lot of goofy little sound effects. This plays during the game when you are looking for other players who are turning themselves into props and hiding from you. I needed to make a quiet track without a lot of distracting elements, as you still need to be able to hear some sound cues from the hiders. All in all, I enjoy how "empty" this track feel...
Prepping to Prop [Bot Hunt! OST]

I am obsessed with bossa nova and latin music, and so any excuse I have to write "elevator music", I will do it. The hardest part about this track, especially cause I was using all freeware instruments, was that guitar! I had to manually strum the midi notes by placing them back and forth, imitating a real guitarist. It still doesn't sound "real", but there is an organic quality to little touch...

Believe it or not, when I was writing this track, I sat down and was completely stumped. I knew it needed to be playful and upbeat, but I didn't have a melody in my head, a starting point. That was, until I consulted my horribly sung voice memos in my phone! Whenever I have a melody idea, I record it in my phone for situations exactly like this. I think I was in the shower when I recorded it be...

This one I vaguely remember writing in a hotel room while I was on vacation back in 2022. I traveled out to the Western USA to visit Idaho, Utah, Montana, and a variety of other beautiful states. I used a lot of sounds from the Pokemon Mystery Dungeon games, one of my biggest inspirations as a musical artist! I believe the celesta sound is ripped from that game actually.... I was going for a ch...

Wow... I never thought this game would actually come out! I started writing music for this soundtrack back in late 2020, and continued to write for it well into 2021. I even wrote the final piece, the reprise, all the way in 2023.... suffice to say, this soundtrack has been a long time coming. Although this song, and many other songs were never actually fully featured in the game due to a varie...

Here is the one and only song from *Scrambles Your Calculator* that I did for tonyfinale! It took quite a few iterations to get right, but I was going for a 90's CD ROM type game feeling. Same thing with the sound effects, I combed through a lot of my favorite CD games from when I was a kid (oh lord I'm showing my age now) to get inspired. I hope this song instills you with a sense of mathy goo...

A little gameplay demo from the new game by tonyfinale that I composed a song for and did all the SFX for. Watch me struggle for a couple minutes as you get a sense for the soundscape that I created for the game. It's honestly really addictive even though I am bad at it lol.

This one was such a fun one to make! I really tried to get as much out of the 2a03 as I possibly could, doing a pulse snare and guitar in Pulse 2, doing bass and the signature percussion of this track in the Triangle, and going crazy with the noise channel. I honestly think is the best one out of my "redoing old mega man songs in 2a03 but more complex" series, and I hope you guys think the same...

This is genuinely one of the coolest, most awesome battle themes every written in my opinion. As much as I tried, I just don't think I or anyone else could do the original justice! That crunchy guitar sample, that awesome synth soaring on top.... as much as I tried to be faithful to the original, the original composition was clearly written with the original samples in mind.

Nice cover! To be honest, I for some reason thought this was a cover for an old snake game on the Nokia LOL By the way, happy holidays! :D
@@TheMuzykant Happy holidays! Hope you're doing well dude
@@graysonsolis Yep, I am! I see you've been working for people, which is pretty amazing! Though, I haven't been able to check some of the tracks out, heh...
VERY nice!
This what plays when you encounter a snake.
Hell yea
Amazing work, Grayson! 😊 Very chill tune, love it
Great stuff!!!
@@DietermiGamzD125 thank you!!
Hey, idk if you are still active, but how do you make þe noise channel produce pitch?
Im always active on here hahaha Using the V01 effect, or Duty 01 in the noise channel produces a "buzz". These buzzes *roughly* correspond with certain pitches. Anything lower than 4 in the noise channel with the duty cycle of 1 is too hard for me to hear what note it is, but for the rest: Noise Chart: 4 = D-1 5 = G-1 6 = D-2 7 = G-2 8 = B-2 9 = D-3 A = G-3 B = D-4 C = D-5 D = D-6 E = D-7 F = D-8 If you notice, despite there being many octaves, there are relatively few pitches to choose from. Even if used as a bass note, as it is in this song, there are very few pitches it can use. That is why I believe most of this song is just 2 chords, and thus 2 bass notes in the noise channel playing the root of those 2 chords every 2 bars. Hope this breakdown was helpful! :)
@graysonsolis þanks! I really appreciate þat one bro :)
Kudos on looking to get to know the client's inspirations! Expands your horizons and skill sets =) Win win
Grayson this is amazing
@@NesrocksGamingVideos thanks so much!! Good seeing you here man
really simple but soothing for some reason, good job mate
ouurghhh i wanna hunt boxes now
this is mildly addicting, nice work dude :)
Just got this recommended to me, really good stuff
@@bnyu_official Hey I appreciate it! Thanks for commenting :)
Such a nice happy-energy main theme :D I definitely like how the instruments go together!
love it!
This piece is for some reason massively nostalgic to me despite having only found kinkymation a month ago at most and sounds great
That means so much to me, thank you so much. I worked really hard on this piece :)

Damn nice. It feels very different than the usual Alberto music, but really good in its own right
Oh yeah, this is the good stuff. You took an absolutely amazing song and made it even better.
dayum!!!!
This sounds like a Scooby Doo intro to one of their movies and I love it.
you were cooking with this one, i'll be listening this song for a long time
String Theory 🗿🚬🚬
Definitively not the sid sound but definitively better than the horrible version in the nes game!
this shit slaps
@@Joe-3.always appreciate your support Joe fr ✊😔
This really slaps
Probably one of the greatest things i have heard so far
I keep coming back to this song, it gives me really strong Castlevania vibes. The arrangement is killer, the organ is a really nice backdrop for the high piano and string parts but the thing I love most is the motif at 0:30, especially when it comes back at 1:45. I didn't notice the first couple times I listened to the song, but I love how the frantic high piano part gets translated to (or at least imitated by) the low piano voice here; it sounds like it's arpeggiating up to ♭9 which gives a subtle unnerving feeling under the more stable tones in the horns. I would love an hour+ long version of this song! Also, it's really crazy that this only took you two hours to write lol.
I super appreciate this analysis!!! It was actually a really long time ago when I wrote this, like years at this point, but I remember I was in the car while my mom was at work and I was riding along in the car with her and I just sat outside of her office and wrote all the parts and mixed it when I got home. It definitely took me more than 2 hours to get the whole thing done! And also I absolutely adore the Castlevania OSTS, and if I remember correctly I was binge listening to the DS Castlevania games at the time I wrote this, so no surprise that I took a lot of inspiration!
I like, I like
Love this. Very chill. Thank you.
Fantastic music (and sfx!) as always, Grayson! Congratulations. 😊
I love the vibe of this game! The music feels super nostalgic and the SFX and visual style are really charming
Gray, if I ever make time to remix this (if you permit, of course :) ), I'd slap a nice electric guitar solo on top!
Also, really cool that you make music for others!!
I really dig this! I get a very nostalgic feel - it reminds me of old games I used to play back in the 2008 to 2011 era. I haven't been very active with music lately, so I thought it'd be nice to drop by and leave a comment here :)
I will play the game for the soundtrack alone.
@@supmattboy thank you dude that means a lot :')
This is such a beautiful piece!
i love people flexing their skills with heat man's theme, it's such a sweet and simple piece so it allows a lot of opportunity to flex great work as usually of course!
Crazy
this goes hot
Damn that's hot
heat man
good music
Every time i go back through your portfolio i come back with another banger! I *love* this, I've spent enough time in famitracker to know how hard it is to make the nes sound as STRONG as you have here. That bass doesn't just slap, it *piledrives*. Your approach to melody and chord progression has always had a super distinct sound- sometimes you defy my musical expectations so hard i come away thinking i didn’t like it, only to realize later it's stuck in my head and i *have* to give it another listen. Keep doing what you're doing!
I really really appreciate this comment, thank you so much. It's you and all the other people that listen to my stuff and leave comments like this that really give me the motivation to not give up on this stuff and to keep posting. I would've never thought an older song like this would have gotten a comment years later! So again, thank you for commenting such a nice message, it's always a pleasure to read through them
it still feels like everything you touch turns to pure gold
i like the softer sound of this
superb
