Awesome!

I'm assuming this is tracked -- what's your tracker of choice? I've yet to find one with an interface I can really jive with, but without the complexity of something like Renoise.

Are the drums sampled or synthesized by whatever tracker you're using?

Hey thanks man!

Okay, so what I do is use "peach" and "toad" VSTs. They're free, and work really well. As far as tracking software, I use "Mixcraft 6" and a midi keyboard.

Most of this stuff is free for the software of your choice, so check it out!

This what I call "sheer glitz". Even though I'm not a gamer, I always liked video game soundtracks. I like that you made some liberties around the notes, you didn't just copy it. Well done, Mike! And thanks for description, very interesting to learn others' ideas.

This one is even better.  You should contact Brian's people, this needs to be used commercially, somehow.

Was about to say exactly this. It just screams "commEEEEErcial", *dollar sign in the eyes* etc. You really have a knack at writing bit music.
Now, question - what is the name of that terrific faux-drum, with stop-starts, kinda making excavator noises? And how long did it take for you to play "H&V"? Tia.

Wow thanks guys!! I really wouldn't know how to go about that... But I would love that!

All of the percussive effects are created by "Toad" which is essentially a vst that samples old NES sound effects to use as drums! I believe the one you're referring to is from Super Mario 3 or something like that...

I'll keep this up, glad to know you guys like it!

Oh... And I'd just like to throw out there concerning the commercial point- I actually do this for commission for guys making indie games, except normally I write the music and it has a bit more than just the standard 8 but stuffs... But just wanted you to know your hunch about the "commerical-ness" is totally on par haha!

Seriously, find a way to get this to Brian's people, or the Beach Boys management, or something.  This should not go to waste, it should be heard by more people.

When I saw the title, I thought, "Wow, that's an odd choice". However, as I kept listening, it actually seemed quite fitting to hear it done in 8 bit. Very cool. Can you do next "Wild Honey"? Theremin track I mean.

Thanks for the info re: drums.
