What's up, guys? I'm a hobbyist composer who writes a lot of video game-styled pieces. I post a lot of my work on my YouTube channel, which you can find here: [url=]http://www.youtube.com/user/Kevvviiinnn?feature=guide

I mostly make RPG-styled stuff with EWQL, but there are a few mock-2A03 pieces lodged here and there.

Now I'm an FL Studio guy, so the bulk of my work (including the "chiptunes" ) is composed with FL Studio. I prefer composing with MIDI-based sequencers to trackers, but it's still fun to wrestle with FamiTracker from time to time.

I actually managed to write a serious piece of music with it for once, so I thought I'd share. It's loosely inspired by MexicanSunflower's (AKA squarewave9 AKA meckzdev) style, but after about halfway into it I really started to deviate and do my own thing.

Trackers still kinda give me a headache, but hopefully, with enough practice, that will all change. Nice to meet you all! :^)

Nice! Highly entertaining!

I'm pretty sure I've heard some of your FL Studio RPG stuff as well. It was also great if I recall correctly.

This sounds awesome Kev. You should get on AIM more often, unless there's some other place to reach you more regularly that I don't know about (now that it's been a long time since I left the music lobby).

Also attached is a cover of one of your remixes I made a year ago, I think I showed it to you but can't remember.

Whoa, okay, looking at your effects has opened my eyes to some awesome stuff you can do in this. Namely using Fxx a lot to allow for all sorts of timing wankery (for instance you could totally do triplets with 64 rows using that trick).

I have a long way to go to make awesome stuff like this. Excellent work, both of you.

Well, I made some minor edits and gave it a proper name. Wasn't really sure what to call it since it was just me doodling around with no real purpose.

Sure. As long as you give credit, I don't mind at all.

Yeah, there's probably some RushJet1 in there, among numerous other influences. Your Konami thing is really what prompted me to make this, though.

Nope, I'm still as elusive as ever, haha.


Thank you for letting me hear your thoughts, guys! It's truly appreciated.

Also, everyone posting their covers/tributes/what-not has really made my day. You Music Lobby (and former-Music Lobby) guys are freaking amazing.
