The Cabin theme from the #FridayThe13th NES game. This is a hauntingly beautiful little theme here. And if you were wondering, there are no effects or reverb added to the recording. I’m recreating the delay effect by playing the same melody on top of itself a dotted 8th-note later and at a quieter dynamic, a technique I’ve developed over the years. :) The full soundtrack is on youtube.com/88bit Hope you enjoy it!

Just got back from an awesome week performing with Carlos Eiene (@insaneintherainmusic ) at PokémonXP / Worlds. We did three sets, one on each day of the event, of music from Pokémon Legends: Z-A — music that Carlos wrote and arranged for the game. We had an absolute all-star band, we played tight and the crowds were jamming out the whole time.   I feel lucky and grateful to be a part of events like this, certainly one of the biggest events I’ve played. I loved the spectacle of the whole event. It was extremely well produced and just a huge celebration of the Pokémon franchise and the people how love it.   And I couldn’t be happier for Carlos! Seeing him go from successful YouTuber and VGM cover artist to composing for a Pokémon game and then performing his music live in front of an enthusiastic audience is quite the career ark!   And now it’s on to the next thing!

I contributed the track “Spring (Wild Horseradish Jam) which I had fun arranging and recording. Give it a listen on Spotify or your favorite streaming service and let me know what you think! #stardewvalley #vgm #piano by @88bitmusic
