➤ VGM Request by Curtis P.

Hey guys! It's time to pay some love and respect to the Sega Genesis once again!

The soundtrack to this game is such a blast from the past. It has these super 80's vibes with a lot of the rhythms and it made this arrangement such a fun challenge for digging the deepest grooves I could.

The stage 1 theme is all about this particular melodic motif that happens throughout the entire piece. However, the underlying chords and phrasing of the melody throughout the piece is always changing. This made it such a cool dynamic to the piece and it was something much different than where you have different melodies throughout a piece that play different roles.

I was very faithful to the original melodies but I really wanted to try and do some original ideas for the rhythm elements of this theme. I was experimenting with doing some breakdown-style riffs in place of the original driving beats for just a few sections. I love how this broke up the feel and made the song breathe a bit more for my arrangement.

Overall I had such a blast with this arrangement. I want to give a huge thanks to Curtis for this awesome request and I want to thank all of you guys for watching and for your support. Let me know what you think in the comments!!
