Thank you for the childhood memories sir,

I feel like I should be giving you a tip.

I have a question, what's akito nakatsuka (the arranger of the ost) like? I'm wondering what he's been up to as well

[SonicArtist313]

@Guitarist500 That is a good question. I never met the man, nor did he have anything to do with my soundtrack for Pilotwings 64. I wrote, arranged, sequenced, recorded and installed each and every track in to the game myself. It is typical for Nintendo to give credit from within where it is not due. Mr. Wada and Oyagi were instrumental in selecting tracks that I was writing for the different themes, although it was a great challenge to get past the cultrual barrier for music types.

@SonicArtist313 Did you use the MusyX soundkit? I haven't gotten my hands on the Maestro devkit, so I can't really know.

Regardless, boss work, man. Pleasure to see old devs creeping up on the tubes. :)

Incredible! I love the Pilot Wings soundtrack (wondering how I can get a high-quality copy.) It's surreal to see the actual composer has his own YouTube channel, with such recent activity. Do you compose for any other games?

[SonicArtist313]

@SherclopPones I'm not sure how you can get a HQ copy. I composed the soundtrack to another N64 game, F-1 World Grand Prix but the market became flooded and I got out in the late 90's. I still compose, arrange, produce and record mostly in the Detroit area.

Thanks so much for posting this. Your work on Pilotwings 64 was phenomenal. I especially liked the Hang Glider and Birdman themes.

[SonicArtist313]

@TuskEnterprises Thank you for your compliment! It's funny how so many people preferred those two tracks. The Birdman was the last track I wrote for the game. I must have written 20 tracks for it until that one was selected.

I still have my copy of Pilot Wings 64, from the 90's great game.

[SonicArtist313]

@ImmaSynShenron I wish I had my original copy. It was signed by most of the team that I worked with to create the game. My kids still love to play it.

I LOVE the rocketbelt song! Thanks for making such jammin' music man! This theme is set to my favorites. :)

[SonicArtist313]

@RyanSmithOnPiano Thanks for the feedback, Ryan!  I plan to remake some of the tracks and post them after the new year.
