  • [Single] Hitode

    Hitode is the 2nd single from ReMirakels, a chiptune cover of T21CB’s 1st album, a song inspired by a starfish.

    Literally, I could say this is it. Thanks for reading! Jokes aside, back in 2006 (lol, hell yes, that old), when we worked on the original version of hitode, we were inspired my visual kei music. Hitode is therefore both a rock and metal song with orchestra vibe.

    Yet, this cover is more a chiptune beat. Therefore I feature orchestra synths and strong bass beats. Givet it a spin below and click on the cover if you are interested in the single b-side songs as well.

    I also created some short videos with a matching vibe. Our puffing little hedgehog, Mr. Toka is the perfect example for this song I guess.

    Of course this single is offering b-side songs either. Starting with the demo version of Kimono Kemono. This song is also inspired by the original version (like the whole EP at the end..), the point is that Kimono Kemono was pretty much a heavy metal song kind of a release at T21CB side. Funnily made it pretty-pretty difficult to create the chiptune version of it.

    There’s also Hate My Wings (demo) and finally an outro beat.

  • [Single] Cianwood City

    cianwood chiptune single

    Last single of Soul Silver chiptune LP, Cianwood City offers a happy, yet laid back vibe, as expected from a song close to the end.

    If I wish to be short on this release: I like this song. As a proof, scroll below and see how many times I used it in my vlog videos.

    It is sort of happy, but now overly. This song is a bit upbeat, but still easily fits any chill genres. It is chiptune but not overly electronic. Kind of a golden median in many aspects.

    The single also features the demo version of Olivine, the first song I composed for Soul Silver album. Enjoy the beats below and download the single for free by clicking on the cover on top.

    Enjoy a lovely trip to Vienna with a day of walk and full of sightseeing. I enjoy making videos like this. I hope you will get a completely different view of the city with the help of Cianwood city single

    Enjoy Tokyo vibe at Kanda Shrine. Look at the little kids learning to pray and the shrine and don’t forget to click on the link above to learn and find (much) more Tokyo vlog videos.

    Lastly, enjoy the same song with my caps in Sardinia. An Italian gem on the Mediterranean Sea. Ignore my shaky hand, we were out on the sea with a small boat enjoying the vast blue vibe and depth of the sea.

  • [Single] Ecruteak City

    ecruteak chiptune single

    Melancholy town where we never smile? Could be the best quote for Ecruteak City, an oriental, yet bittersweet place of Soul Silver.

    Hit play button and let’s deep dive a bit in this single. The place is heavily inspired by Japanese architecture. Old towers, kimono dancers, kabuki theatre. Essentially a gym with… ghost type pokémons. What is it if not a mystical aura of the game. Let alone the legendary encounter. But let me now spoiler it. Maybe some youngsters are to play the game later. Worth, honestly!

    So, when I started working on this beat, I was already sure to imitate a bit the sound of koto. Yet, as it was a chiptune album, how?

    I looked for old Game Boy games, looking for Far East vibe sounds I could record and rework. It took some time and at the end as the song was in minor, I believe the result is a bit eerie. Don’t you agree?

    As a b-side song, I added Jazzy Big Ben, based on Big Ben Jazz. Ann old song from Chinese Restaurant. Enjoy both beats for free through the cover above. Click and check my Bandcamp page. Also, feel free to download more free singles.
