Carboni, Bitejacker Remix, what else?!

by Josh Whelchel

My friends over at HyperDuck Music have released their soundtrack to “BITEJACKER: The Game” called “Undead on Arrival.”  Myself, Anosou Music, Souleye, and some other more talented musicians than myself put together some remixes.  Interestingly, this is my first attempt at pretending to use Reason.

Embrace! Our new album, “Children of the Summer,” will be here on April 1st. In the meantime, I’ve got video game soundtracks to be doing! *whipcrack*

Space Sushi!

by Josh Whelchel

Just in time to cater to my early childhood fetishes of space and sushi, Kyle Pulver delivers the game “Space Sushi,” developed during this year’s Global Game Jam. He asked me to throw something together, so I gladly did. I’m still hard at work putting together music for an iPhone game and a tigsource.com “versus” compo game – neither of which I can really say that much about. So I’ll shut up and you can listen. (You may remember I [...]

Chiptune!

by Josh Whelchel

Part of my new years resolution for 2011 was to write more music (I even said so here!).  So in a few short minutes spare time I wrote something with Renoise (<3) on my MacBook.  Just screwing around and whatnot, I like it. 7 pence is 3 pence short of 10 pence (so i rocked!) Resident know-it-all anosou tells me that it’s obvious I’m an “orchestra guy.”  Whatever that means… but to be honest I did do this nerdy thing [...]

ReMix The Meat!

by Josh Whelchel

A few days ago I promised my twitter-people that when I reached 500 followers I’d put up a “Power of the Meat” remix kit.  I delayed in this process just a little bit so I could also include an INSTRUMENTAL and KARAOKE version of the song.  Now you can dress up as Meat Boy, Bandage Girl, or Dr. Fetus (or all three if you’re feeling ambitious) and sing along! (Go down a little further to get the REMIX KIT and [...]

Power of the Meat

by Josh Whelchel

I CANNOT STOP PLAYING THIS GAME.  This game being Super Meat Boy, of course.  Danny’s soundtrack was released last night and it is sheer brilliance.  I was fortunate enough to be one of a handful of musicians to be included on the soundtrack doing remixes.  So I called up Melinda and we put together this diddy.  Lyrics after the jump.  (Also, go buy that soundtrack, it’s just $3.99 – YOU CAN AFFORD THAT! All of the money goes to Danny [...]

Super Meat Boy, the rock star.

Power of the Meat (feat. Melinda Hershey) (PREVIEW!!) I was recently asked to remix the soundtrack to SUPER MEAT BOY by the incredible Danny Baranowsky.  This is what is brewing.  The full track, along with a MUSIC VIDEO will be released with the official soundtrack.  And hey, I GET TO BE MEAT BOY FOR HALLOWEEN! (please keep your saws, salt, and various shenanigans away from me)

How I Cured Burrito Boredom (and won a year of free burritos!)

by Josh Whelchel

About a month ago I uploaded a video to Qdoba Mexican Grill’s Food Lovers Fighting Burrito Boredom campaign – the goal was simple: I was going to win a year of delicious burritos.  It’s really no surprise that I love Qdoba, I’ve been addicted since 2006 when I was first introduced and was hooked to their three cheese queso (which is NOTHING like the crappy melted cheese you get with nachos normally; this stuff has poblano peppers and what I [...]

Ramza was a cool dude, a remix appears!

Final Fantasy Tactics Remix (WIP 2) Forget what you know about crystals and wars with lions and this and that.  It’s pretty safe to assume that anybody old enough to have actually appreciated this wonderful game understands that it has one of the most complicated and pleasing soundtracks of all time.  The sheer complexity of most of the music, of course, is why we see so few remixes of it – and also why I simply cannot do it justice.

A One Hour Challenge Song~ (OHC092)

by Josh Whelchel

OHC092 – Sing with us, Our Alien Song~ ! Back in the day, one of my favorite things to do was to join in One Hour Compos (OHCs), where the whole point is to come into writing/producing session with a blank canvas and create something in an hour.  When I did it years ago, we’d have a limited sample set to use, and we tracked – now it’s done with no limitations other than a theme or something like that.
