video game music

[tricky spinz]

Holmzini talking about hearing better beats on Gameboy got me thinking about how sweet video game music really is. My friend sent me some soundtrack from Donkey Kong Country 2 for the SNES the other day. that shit was good! i was like, damn! these monkeys know how to fuckin pizarty!

but seriously, look at games like Halo. that soundtrack is just so amazing. whoever wrote that shit is a genius. theres alot of great beats for games man.

do a lot of producers get started making beats for games because it seems like since thats such a huge industry good music for games would be in high demand?

holla back!

dl that Beanie Sigel - Mac Man song, it like incorporates all 80's video games sounds into it, its hilarious too

Hey yp yall remember CastleVainia on NES back in tha day??? I got mad samples from that and a few other games like mike tysons punch
out... Ill post tha beats in the showcase once they cut my T1 back on!!!
LOL.... But hell yea new game sound tracks are tight as hell these dayz

 

[Freakwncy]

getting into video music business is MAD HARD!

 

[Ash Holmz]

i defintely wanna get into doing that stuff.. CONTRA...FINAL FIGHT... FINAL FANTASY... and all the mentioed above are sikk... contra had serious music ... i recommend if u go that game play it and listen to the beats ..sikk!! lol ... the people who make video game music are most likely much more musically inclined than the average hip hop producer... some of the arrangments in games like castevania are crazy complex ..double dragon had sikk musik too!!! streetfighter!! ..haha im buggin .... but tricky i feel you that video game music is dope man

Man The Soundtract to the Tenchu Games were always good.

 

[Pug]

the silent hill series has pumped out three good soundtracks so far. eerie stuff, but dope.

I know there is a danish guy living in New York who has made millions off making music for video games...so there's certainly money to be made.

 

[tricky spinz]

oh hell yea. theres tons of money. video and computer games are one of the fastest growing industries out there. look how many ppl own a ps2 or a xbox. games are huge. but yea, i hear you holmz, about that kinda music being more complex. i mean like halo, is fucking like, full orchestral pieces. some REEEEEEAAALL slick shit. also, you oughta check out donkey kong 2 for anyone who has it. slick. very slick.

Yo, Yosumi Records put out a album in 2000 called Game Over with mad video game beats. That shit is hot, except they fuckin came out with the Mario Bros. beat before I could...... Still hot though.

 

[tricky spinz]

nice, i might have to peep that shit

 

[Manji]

Yo trick even though Halo got some "full orchestra" sounding shit you can still make it using sampletank or some shit like it.

 

[Muzik]

[pancakebunnny]
