Revisiting my old Original Songs

(Update: see note at the end of this article)

In October 2018, I mass unlisted my original songs I had on my channel at that time. The main reason why I unlisted them was because I was no longer satisfied with all of them. But, there are some songs that I still consider to be decent. Some of my unlisted songs can be found in this playlist.

Sneeky Snickers 

Back in September 2018, I remade Ice Crystal Cavern (A PC Engine song I originally made back in December 2017) on the SNES using SNESMod (an .it to .spc converter). But, I decided to change some aspects of the composition itself, and the result is what you hear below. 

Sometime in early 2019, I listened to some of my unlisted original songs, and I looked back to when I remade Ice Crystal Cavern. I also thought about when I remade Moonlight Mountains (A  Genesis song I originally made back in around July 2017) on the PC Engine. Small changes were made to the composition, all down to the bassline. The biggest change here was that I reduced the intro time and added pitch bends wherever possible.

When I originally started this project on March 2019, I would just alter bits of the composition of the original song on the remade version on another system, making sure that no part sounded like a repeat of each other, and then apply those changes to the original version. However, since March 2021, as my composition style has completely changed from something out of an old-school video game to something that features experimental motifs and techno-inspired stuff (specifically 90s techno), I've instead chosen to completely revamp my old originals into this current style of mine. Since this drastically changes the original versions of my my own songs, I've updated this project name from "updating my old original songs" to "revisiting my old original songs." My current style also allows me to see if I could push the audio chips of vintage gaming consoles and computers to their capabilities, which I've been picking up since making the song Rave at the Airport Hangar back in late March 2019.

Here's a list of the songs I have remade (including  system they were originally made on):

Update 11/15/2024: I am at a point now where I am much more appreciative of my older original songs now. Something I never mentioned was that the primary reason why I didn't like my old originals was due to the fact that I associated them with some negative experiences I had at the time I shared them online (between 2017 and 2020, more specifically). I have since moved on from those negative experiences, and now, I listen to my old originals with much more appreciation. So, officially, this project has come to an end. The only exception would be my pre-chiptune stuff from 2014 to 2017, but only if I feel like doing so.
