    Sweet video man, I really like how you demonstrated the ways that you created cohesion throughout the soundtrack through the transformations of the motif. Not just with the motif but the cheeky winks towards the chromaticism and pitch-shifting that you'd built into the soundtrack's identity.

    Dude, this is your best video to date! Interesting, educational, personal, funny, & most of all - an incredible track! MMX is one of my favs, so I agree 100% with this analysis :)

    I love how even from the 1st Cliche, it already sounds like something that came up straight from a snes Megaman x game. Even if it's just the skeleton of it.

    I like how you completely glossed over the F major chord being outside of the normal chord types for that key, but made it seem like the G major chord was the oddball

    Thank you for sharing this creation. I really dig it.
    I really like this style. MMX was one of my favorite soundtracks growing up and the soundtrack is actually one of the reasons why I play guitar today. Much of my music is influenced by 16 bit soundtracks.
    Your Hypermode makes me think of the Gradius games with less prog rock influence. Cool!

    Instead of cliche, I think you're looking for the 'trope' term. Tropes of the genre or the musical style. Not trying to nitpick. Very appreciative. Just wanted to help you find the right word. lol

    • @composercode
      @composercode  3 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Yeah that’s probably a better term! Cliche does have a bit of a negative connotation

    Hello. I just found this video, as I'm designing a video game like Megaman X, and I understand that music is a huge part to make it successful. Do you create songs like this on request? Like commisisions? How can I contact you? I'm looking for just one song, as I just want to get an alpha stage done. I've been looking for a composer for so long.
    Either way, thanks for the video man, really insightful.

    Oof, the main guitar is way too high pitched for my taste. x.x It sounds too much like a chiptune instead of a guitar, which would be fine in a chiptune, but not a SNES style tune.
