  • Today, we’re taking a tour through some of the strange time signatures that appear in SNES soundtracks. Odd rhythms, prime numbers, polymeter… perhaps even polyrhythms? No, let’s not get ahead of ourselves.
    Count along with me!

    There is literally no end to weird Super Famicom games I've never heard of.

      Agreed. Almost reassuring if not for the fact I'll never get around to playing them.

      I couldn't follow on some of them either. Like when there was more than 1

    • @GSTChannelVEVO
      @GSTChannelVEVO  Год назад +2

      to be fair, I feel like I could have tightened up the meters. Sometimes it felt like I was running into the limits of 30FPS video editing when the beats don't perfectly align to that, but sadly that's the best I can do with my current toolset...

    I have so many personal favorites in this mix! As a once upon a time drummer/percussionist and huge fan of math rock from the early- to- mid- 2000s (check out Cinemechanica and their game music cover bands Contraband and Megaband - yes, they are what you think they are) this has to be my favorite mix that you've shared so far! Thank you! ❤️

    You have a God given talent right here! I learned a lot today and the way you make these videos... seem like one long and interesting story is amazing! I'm no musician but I was listening to something the other day thinking, "That sounds off beat but works incredibly well!" Maybe it was Skelton Krew on the Genesis? I don't remember but this explains why that was and i appreciate it!

    • @GSTChannelVEVO
      @GSTChannelVEVO  Год назад

      yeah, Skeleton Krew (MD) does some pretty weird rhythmic stuff! I never got a full grasp on what was going on in there. Feels like every trick in the book, all for a spooky vibe

  • @andrewjustin174

    Marx’s theme from Kirby Superstar has some funky time signatures also. These videos are always fun to watch, it gives a glimpse into why the music is so interesting.

    • @321cheeseman
      @321cheeseman Год назад +1

      Yeah there's TONS of tracks that easily could have been here. Beach or Akrillic from Plok come to mind.
      It's good to see more obscure stuff though.

      I recommend watching it once for the trivia, then a second time just to stare at the lights in the top left corner.
      Editing this video was a challenge because I just wanted to count the beats with those lights :P

    Found again the Tim Follin video and I'm finally taking a deeper look at this channel, great source of information for sure!
    Any chance there's some content around about Yousuke Yasui? Unless it's not really matching the theme of this channel?

    • @GSTChannelVEVO
      @GSTChannelVEVO  Год назад +1

      Hey there, thanks for perusing my channel! To answer your question a bit: all of the games Yousuke Yasui scored are outside the scope of this channel... on account of being too recent. I try to stick with composers that have worked on the SNES or Megadrive. That's stretched sometimes (Martin Iveson only worked with the Mega CD), but never ignored.

  • @AWISECROW
    @AWISECROW Год назад

    Super Cool! Missed the premiere though😞. Nice to see some work from women composers. I wondered if you'd ever do an artist feature on Soyo Oka or Yoko Shimomura, or if the language barrier, a lack of online presence, or requests for privacy would make it difficult.

    question: where do you get your vst's, what programs do u use or is it not even on a computer ?

    • @GSTChannelVEVO
      @GSTChannelVEVO  Год назад

      that's a very broad question 🤔
      I'll try to answer briefly: I alternate between OpenMPT and Ableton Live. All of my mixes are made in the latter.
      My VST collection is mostly a pile of free synths and effects I've accrued over the past decade and a half, from no particular source.

      I have plenty of western composers on my shortlist, to make an appearance in the next mix (most likely. I haven't made it yet, after all...)
