NEW MIX surprise Sonic R styled cheesy happy hardcore mix thing! just for funshine. let's feel the sunshine :D www.youtube.com/watch?v=n2VY...

i can not overstate how much i love this. a dream project of mine is to pick a game and interview EVERYONE in the credits and ask them to describe what they actually did. point to what they're proud of. etc

to reveal how far behind i was: only yesterday did i finish my PCE trawl 😅

yeah i'll cosign this. "GEMS is a bad driver" is a fun and simple story, but that's smearing a lot of history and details on a quite capable driver

NEW MIX! one last romp through funky jet set radio-alikes. i saved the best for last :3c

The music for Gigalopolis Zone in 'Sonic Chaos' is different between Master System and Game Gear. Turns out, the Master System version uses the song "Oh Yes!1 (SONG 0)", which is a demo tune from the KORG M1 synthesizer. Here's a comparison of the two.

I'd like to share this old video of hers, where she talks about her time working on the 3DO port of Doom. it's a wild story that stuck with me, and a reminder that sometimes "bad games" have amazing people working on them

i do think there's a funny thread connecting captain beefheart, jsrf birthday cake, and 100 gecs...

unsure if this phrasing was wise... still, it's a great mix i swear

NEW MIX! more jet set radio alikes! mom aint getting any sleep with this one. let's get funky!

i love the innocent and joyful tone of this comment. oh no, the website belonging to a person that disappeared from the internet 23 years ago is down :(

NEW MIX! more exploration beyond the bounds of just "game soundtracks", but within the realm of FUNK JET SET RADIOOOOOO www.youtube.com/watch?v=oCyl...

doin research, lookin over old notes... jon miller was such an incredibly cool dude. idk how to process the fact he's gone now

NEW MIX today, we're exploring beyond the bounds of just "game soundtracks". no words. just beats. let's get scratchin' JET SET RADIOOOOOO

QUICK ANNOUNCEMENT VID: pce mixes are delayed, sorry. but i have a cool set of mixes that i'm planning to post instead. within this announcement, i have subtly hinted at what these might be

Just an old brief style study trying to make Acid Breaks in FM simulating squelchy distorted 303s. Dated January 2021. God, it didn't even feel like it was that long ago.

hey everyone, i have a dark secret to share: i don't actually have a PCE mix ready for this month. 😔 im gonna make a little announcement video about it but basically, i still havent finished checking out all the PCE soundtracks. i cant feature what i havent heard.

checking out the latest wagon christ album and he's COOKIN with this one but also that progression in "Sidney Groovey"? that's tim follin's bionic commando (c64)!!

weird spot: i want to change my channel name to Melosylexia but it doesn't feel right without a like. rebranding party and huge announcement. a gender reveal forest fire for a line of text

doin some unguided research. i love love the anthropologically phrased description of "being online" from the early 00s (text from Rene T. A. Lysloff's "Musical Community on the Internet: An On-line Ethnography", 2003)

hey check out this really cool remix of "His Theme" from Undertale that i found in the Japan-only 1992 NEC Super CD-ROM2 game Gate of Thunder

One of the best to do it, @gst.melosylexia.com profiles (and arranges, as probably the first to do so!) musician Yoko Wada, a criminally underrated and unknown Master System / Game Gear composer: www.youtube.com/watch?v=0C1J...

Tell your favorite artists you love their work

NEW MIX! Yoko Wada was is one of the most prolific and skilled composers that you can find on the 8-bit Sega systems. Unfortunately, that's also the only place you can find her. I'd like to shine a light on some of the amazing work she did that's gone unnoticed and unloved. premieres in ~15 min!

is my handle invalid or not. it looks fine when im logged in "can't resolve" when im logged out. kinda rude of bsky tbh

i think this weekend is the first time ive massively missed my self-imposed deadline. i was away for most of this past week and did NOT get any work done... so, hopefully the video will be out by the 30th? we'll see.

❌ ai slop ✔ crazy bus

i do feel a bit odd that my tritone video has flatlined, esp in the shadow of its prequel (witchcraft). i rewrote that video 6 times, and find myself wondering: would one of the 5 earlier drafts have fared better with the algorithm or whatever? maybe not...but. im happy with how the video came out.

there's a bunch of hubbub about how youtube quietly changed the ways views worked, resulting in a drop in desktop views between aug 10th and 14th. curious, i checked and... my stats are wack bro. i got nothing on those dates, but mobile views are outpacing desktop now. dunno what to think of that

ive been studying some diagrams. and i have a few things to say about tritones. (new narrated / artsy video)

i put a bunch of effort into the sound design on these videos so i like to make "instrumental" versions. here's that for my tritone video!

影山雅司 永眠のお知らせ We are deeply saddened to share that Gimmick! composer Masashi Kageyama has passed away.

It looks like a 1990's elected official got a hold of the reigns at MobyGames lol

why are tritones... like that? why are.... tritones? hmm. (new narrated video)

it took like 40 takes before i finally landed on an intonation that i was happy with. it was really important to me that i open the video with a certain feeling. anyway, i just checked out youtube's automatic dub in JP, a language i kinda know. that vibe? FULLY PAVED OVER. disgracefully bad.

(putting soundgoodizer and izotope vinyl on the same mixer track) FIGHT FIGHT FIGHT

One of the best to ever do it — GST treats us to arranged soundtracks from the SEGA Master System & Game Gear era with the appropriate gear: Korg M1, Roland JV-1080 & Sound Canvas SC-88. Extremely excited for the next episodes, where they are doing PC Engine soundtracks — so many good tunes!

NEW MIX! i'm ending the SMS/GG era of my channel with a whole bunch of arrangements of SMS/GG end themes! video premieres in ~15 minutes, so join us in the chat!

cookin arrangements

not really an announcement, but a few thoughts: after much dawdling i have finally gotten myself an account on kofi. myself as in me the author of this text, not the "gst brand". ... idk what i want to do with this yet. but i want it to be visible from gst. so uh. hi

been thinking about this midi recently. the flue / oboe / bassoon opening is so lovely. i mean, so is the rest of the tune, but i never really thought to appreciate the oboe before

i recently swapped out my main SSD for a new one. apparently having blocks of 100% usage with a 1200ms average response time is "not normal". shockingly, my computer is performing way better now.

in two days, youtube is going to activate it's ai-based age detection thing. supposedly, this affects about 2% of my audience. i worry that it'll be worse than that. with kosa and everything described at yellat.money, it's not even the biggest fish at the moment. but, yknow. what the hell?

it goes further: Yu Suzuki had a oh-shit-the-boss-is-here button installed on his devkits that'd corrupt the screen and make the game look visibly "unfinished", in order to keep his boss from trying to force the game out the door ASAP shmuplations.com/afterburner/

NEW MIX! Time to fly off into the sunset as the credits roll. Today, we're listening to some SMS/GG endthemes, and plus a few songs that don't appear in the credits but totally could. video premieres in ~15 minutes, so join us in the chat!

apropos of nothing in particular
