What I'm listening to today: "More disturbing wave bard sounds", OSVoS

There's a new Bastl Kastle and one of its configurations is a tiny "modular"¹ sample scrambler. This artist did a number of pieces mixing the Kastle 2 with other gear, this one I thought had the most interesting beat (You might prefer "More Wave Bard Experimentation" if you like kalimbas more than I do). Alien Gregorian chants + hip hop

¹ Jump wires instead of patch cables…take a look, it's weird

What I'm listening to today: "Legendary Wings", Hyakutaro Tsukumo (arranged by Yuu)

This is a General MIDI arrangement of the main theme to Thunder Force V, a sidescrolling shooter made by Technosoft in 1997 for the Sega Saturn. For whatever reason, this is the version I got hooked on!

Rendered on (splitting channels) a Roland SC-8850 and Yamaha MU2000, both of which were released in 1999, so if TF.V had come out just two years later it could have sounded like this.
