Mustin - Mega Man 3 - Blue Bomber Forever

[2000] http://www.Mustin.net

It all starts here with my first recorded video game remix!

In 1999, my family got a computer. We were very poor, so this was a pretty amazing thing. And we got hooked on the Internet. When I graduated High School, my buddy got me a program called Midisoft Studio Six as a graduation present. I really enjoyed messing around with it. I imported some of my MIDIs I had written on a friend's Yamaha Clavinova in High School, and even began writing new songs. Then someone had pointed out to me one day that you could emulate video games on your computer. I ended up with an emulator and a copy of Mega Man 3. Oh, how the memories flooded back. I had never owned this game, but rented it often. I realized that I knew every song but had forgotten how fantastic all of the music was. Using my new software, I began to transcribe the music from the title screen. Then I wondered if anyone else had tried to make a MIDI of video game music.

This brought me to www.VGMusic.com. At that point, I began downloading MIDIs of all kinds of video game music. They weren't too interesting, for the most part, and I decided to make my own arrangement. I had figured out how to import digital audio and did some sampling, which I had never done with my original music at that point. A few weeks later I had "Blue Bomber Forever." I showed it to my friends and I was proud of what I had accomplished.

A while later, I thought it'd be fun to do another song, and I revisited the VGMusic site. When I was there, I came across a banner for OverClocked ReMix. I clicked it, and found myself overjoyed. Nearly a hundred different video game arrangements from people all over. I submitted my track to OverClocked ReMix.

I guess you could say the rest is history. But it's been an amazing ride (after the arrangement was posted, I found myself at VGMusic.com again, found out about "Project Majestic Mix," and that it was happening only two hours from where I lived...). It's pretty amazing to listen to my first arrangement and to go through them all chronologically. I'm always learning more - I never stop learning. I'm always raising the bar for myself. Even on a joke arrangement, there's always something I get out of it that I can take to the next work.

I hope you've enjoyed at least a few of my arrangements of music from video games. I hope that my arrangements can find themselves in the hands of people who may not appreciate video game music - and change their minds. I hope that my arrangements offer nostalgia and meaning to people other than me.

Thank you for listening.

Yup, looks great to me. I always thought this was one of your best pieces, and I always feel like I'm fighting a great evil when I listen to it.
