And here we are with NCFC Friday. You guys like music, right? Yeah, you like music.

Continue to the NCFC Booth…

Hello, wonderful people!

This is stitch, and I am ready to give you some of the goods you’ve requested.  I will apologize for the wait.  We wanted to keep the updates diverse and the music updates were outnumbering the others.  This is still cutting it close but I’ve wanted to show you a couple of tunes for a while now so here they are, along with the original pieces (which I encourage you to listen alongside to).

The first one was one I promised you a long time ago.  This one, I wrote during that October Fanfest a few years back.  I hope you find my version of MOTHER’s “A Ghastly Site” to be uncomfortably pleasant to listen to.

Here is the original A Ghastly Site:

And here is the remix:

I also want to say thank you for all of your email requests, although I have some good and bad news about that to be mentioned later on.  Here is one of the tunes I randomly selected to revamp!

The original Get on the Bus from MOTHER 2 (Earthbound):

When I remix or revamp something, I always think it is necessary to add a creative touch of my own so that it is not just a repeat of another song with a different sound. I hope you will have an open mind for this one!  Here is the revamp of Get on the Bus:

There we have it!  Now, for a few things I would like to say;

About the emails, I started to get so much mail from many things not only concerning MOTHER 4 that I lost all of these requests and questions…but the good news is – if you still want to know something or hear a revamp/remix in the future – I advise you to tell it to me via Twitter!  I recently made a Twitter account mostly for this purpose and it will be a fun way for us to stay in touch.  So, please fly by and I’ll be here to talk and I will be taking your music requests and questions via Twitter now.

Here is the link to my profile; Follow @shanemesa
I am using my real name here, instead of my alias “stitch.”

On another note, every time I make one of these updates, you will get to hear 2 (two) revamps/remixes. That’s 2 per update!  If your tune did not get picked then I encourage you to restate your request.  If it comes up enough I will be forced to tackle that request instead of drawing a number out of the hat.  But please refrain from spamming.  =]

Thank you, all!

So much!

Hello, everyone!  This is “stitch,” of SNOBODYS, talkin’ ’bout music today.  I have a few tunes to share and some things to talk about!  Sit down, have a listen and let’s talk!

So, do you remember me talking about the Fanfest project some years ago?  During that time a good handful of music was created, including a few “remakes.”  I remade Mt. Itoi and A Ghastly Site from the first MOTHER game.  You can listen to the original Mt. Itoi right here to compare with the remake below:

I will have to post the remake of A Ghastly Site (my personal favorite) later.  For now, I would like to open up a discussion of what/how we do.  I won’t say anything yet, since the inner workings of the ways of music may only interest a select few…SO, we’re taking any questions you may have!  Please write to the M4 mailbox with all of your questions about the music, us, how we make it, influences or whatever it is you may want to know!

I am also opening up requests for song remakes of anything you may want to hear!  If you would like to hear a remix/revamp of an original MOTHER tune, let me know which one and how you want it!  Orchestrated?  Techno?  Surprise?  Please send these requests to the email adress listed above.  Thanks!

EDIT:  All of your emailed questions will be answered in the next Music update along with the randomly tackled remix for your listening pleasure. Thank you again!

Stitch here again; that’s right I finished the piece!  Sorry it took so long, I had a lot of things going on like finding a place to live and moving in to it.  After a few minor adjustments and, of course, an ending I give all of you this mp3 for download.  Enjoy…

A Secret:

Back in ’09, some (very short) time before the annual Fanfest in October the Azure team decided to take a whack at a project for submission.  I won’t go into much detail but basically I was asked to “make this, this, and THAT, remake these, make something that would do this…” and such and such.  The project was never finished.  It might have been possible in the very short development period but we will never know.  Nevertheless I was able to cough out a handful of pieces, originals and remakes.  We may use this music in MOTHER 4 but I think it is well deserved for you awesome people to hear them since they were not originally intended for the MOTHER 4 project.

Here is one; a techno based tune called Harvest Pass.  You can imagine what the piece might be describing yourself.  Enjoy.

Hi!

This is “stitch” of SNOBODYS, Lead Music and Sound Concept from the MOTHER 4 dev team.  We are finally chiming in to keep all of you wonderful people well fed with MOTHER 4 material!  I will continue to throw things like this out here every so often…

So, today I want to share with you the very first piece of music I made (for video games in general) for this project.  It is an unfinished tribute to MOTHER music.  It was only meant to be a submission to the MOTHER 4 team in 2009 to “show what we got.”  The sound quality is half-way decent but it is worth listening to since this tune will not appear in MOTHER 4 at all.  I had no intention of finishing the piece at the time and I do not know if I ever will…what do you think?

My apologies for the lack of updates earlier this week. We meant to have one out on Wednesday, however due to unfortunate circumstances, we were all pretty busy with other things that day. But anyway, here’s another sampling of what Mother 4 has to offer in the music department. Click on past the break to jam it up!

Now that my goofy intro is out of the way, it’s time for more fan submissions! This time around we’ve got a bit of everything! Some jams from VdGamer, some lovely pictures of Chase from Mothergamemaser and rib78, some enemy concepts from scytheholder, MegalucasmodelML, and rib78. We’ve also got some nice area-type concepts from Fandangox and MalixDexide. And last but certainly not least, some excellent NPC dialogue from steinmitz. Keep up the wonderful work everybody!

Alien Battle – By VdGamer

I have high hope for this song. I tried to keep an Earthbound feel to it. Tell me what you think and use it however you would like.

Bass Battle – By VdGamer

I’m not sure what battle scenarios await but I hope this helps.

Desert Battle – By VdGamer

We all know our hero would be in trouble without awesome music to fight to.

After a fearsome battle with a snake…

Fan art – By rib78

Just a little picture of Chase I drew in my spare time.

Drug Store, Mother 3 Style – By Fandangox

This one of the many Mother 3 “styled@ Earthbound locations I had been doing for a demo. I actually finished most of the city, but the file size was to big to submit…

Bakery and Burger Shop – By Fandangox

Its now the turn of the Burger Shop and the Bakery. This are kept mostly simplistic to avoid changing much detail with the original Earthbound ones.

Alpha Mail – By scytheholder

Basically a giant envelope with Alpha on it

Evil Lampshade – By scytheholder

I didn’t really think of a name for this thing, but it’s an evil lamp-monster-thing.

Mad Hammer – By scytheholder

Another lack of humor name… If I had more jokes to turn into monsters, it would be funnier… I think… WiddaHamma!

Memory Room – By MalixDexide

An idea for a Memory Room that is unlocked after completion of the game. Disks are found at random locations

Idea for weather conditions for Mother 4

And that’s a wrap! Thanks for your submissions everyone.

So like the SUBMITRON said, there are just too many submissions for one update! (I guess I’ve been slacking or something!) So, here’s the first round – the fan music. Some really nice stuff here MarioFan3, sailfish and zoroztheg4mer! Keep up the excellent work!

Closing Of The Final Road – By MarioFan3

I guess this song could go anywhere.
Speed it up, slow it down, do whatever you want with this song, just give credit if used

A New Way To Go. – By MarioFan3

I feel this could be used in a main hub area, like a city that’s in the centre of everything.
Speed it up, slow it down, do whatever you want with this song, just give credit if used.

Travelers Guile – By MarioFan3

This song would suite well in a highway system similar to Mother3, it has that “get moving” feel to it.
Speed it up, slow it down, do whatever you want with this song, just give credit if used

The Ages Are With You – By MarioFan3

This song would probably fit in one of the last areas in the game.
Speed it up, slow it down, do whatever you want with this song, just give credit if used

melody – By Sailfish

The melodies from the mother games are meant to be so simple that children could play them. It’s kind of what I was going for, but I didn’t get it right. Maybe it will give you an idea or two?

Funky Music – By 2Sang

It’s hard to describe it. I don’t know where you could use this piece, but I figure it wouldn’t hurt to submit it. Hope you like it.

Middle Age Melody – By 2Sang

I actually think I did a good job with this tune. It’s short, but it’s smooth and relaxing music.

Backhoe Battle – By 2Sang

I saw the screenshot of the backhoe and said to myself, “I MUST make music for this!”. It’s kind of intense and deep.

Ragtime Conclusion – By 2Sang

It basically is like an instrumental way of saying, “Voila!” That would be cool, a town or a character that was from another decade completely…

Arcade Theme – By 2Sang

This piece in 3 words: funky, techno, Arcade.
It’s a little different than Eartbound or Mother 3′s arcade.

Intense Battle/Bring on the Heat – By 2Sang

This is TENSE music, it’s crazy with suspense. You’ll sweat just listening to it…well…maybe not, but it’s still awesome!

Robotic Wonder/Robot Battle – By 2Sang

I think this sounds like one of the themes in Mother 3.

Cool, Calm, and Collected – By 2Sang

Elevator music I guess. It’s relaxing.

Weird Alien Encounter – By 2Sang

Mysterious with a beat.

Impossible Odds – By J-MACHine
