Hey Patrons! Our Patron stream was earlier today, but I'll recap that after I get the update stuff out of the way.
There's not too much news to discuss, just that this month is May Madness! A list of all of the coming remakes for this month, along with a preview medley, is over at the May Madness reveal post from a few weeks ago.
The first two remakes coming will be Punch-Out!!<...

Hey Patrons! The next Patron only stream is about to begin.
Note that because I'm still banned from YT live streaming for 2 more months, this stream and the next will take place on our secret Twitch account.
A recap will be posted after the stream ends for those who can't make it.
See you there!
2020-05-05 20:05:09 +0000 UTC View PostIt's the 5th, so you know what that means: Patreon Stream day!
The stream will take place at our usual time of 3:00 PM US Central (about 3 hours from this post). We have 1 song to draw today.
Also a quick reminder, if you missed my updates from last month, we'll be doing the Patron streams on our secret Twitch channel until July because I received a copyright strike that has banned me from YT...

Ey, I did it! I managed to finish the video not-too-late, so I went ahead and threw it up, so this wouldn't technically become a May Madness song, haha.
Here's Area 1 from Blaster Master!
Years and years and years ago, I had this song on my 'do someday' list, as I'm a big fan of NES soundtracks, but it sort of fell to the wayside over the years. Now, thanks to the power of the Patreon Request List (and Emile A. who requested it), it's finally come...
2020-05-01 00:36:50 +0000 UTC View PostHey again!
Here's your early download for the next song: Area 1 from Blaster Master.
I'm still attempting to have the video up tonight, but if it gets too late, it will be up tomorrow.
Till then... enjoy! :)
2020-04-30 19:07:59 +0000 UTC View PostHey Patrons!
Here's a quick preview of the next song up: Area 1 from Blaster Master.
The early download will be ready in a few hours! I'm also going to be working on the video today and if I can get it done in time, it will be up tonight. But if not, it'll be up before the end of the weekend.
Till then, enjoy! :)
The latest song has arrived: Confronting Myself from Celeste.
A lot of editing went into this video. You may be able to spot a few familiar friends if you watch closely!
I might be able to get the next song out tomorrow night, but! if not, it'll be up before the weekend comes. I'm off to work on that now, so until then, thank you all as always for your ongoing contribution and support, I'll see you in the next post! :)
2020-04-29 21:16:36 +0000 UTC View PostAlright, finally!
Here's your early download for the latest song: Confronting Myself from Celeste!
I actually played mostly through this game about a month or so ago (stlll have to get through Core) and had a lot of fun with it. This song is even more awesome in the context of the game itself.
The video should be ready and up early tomorrow. Until ...

I just wanted to give a small update on everything since I mentioned getting the next song done and up on the weekend but it's now... Wednesday, so yeah, haha.
I got set back a little bit dealing with some more family stuff (all is ok!), but I'm getting back on track again starting tomorrow.
I'm still looking to have Confronting Myself done within the next few days, followed by Blaster Master Area 1 before the end of the ...

Hey Patrons, it's time to take a look at all of the remakes coming for this year's May Madness event!
There were so many highly voted songs to choose from this year. As I said in the May Madness discussion post, I didn't necessarily go with only the top voted, but both the Patron vote and public vote did have a strong influence on my selection process.
Before I get started, I should make a quick note for those who missed it or perhaps weren't yet Patrons when it was announced, but...

Hey Patrons!
Today I'll be revealing all of the May Madness remakes coming this year, and I thought it'd be fun to reveal them one by one in a very short stream.
So tune in to our secret Twitch Channel since I'm still temporarily banned from YT streaming at 3:00 PM US Central time for a quick 'Micro Direct' of May Madness info!
A full reveal post will be posted immediately after the stream ends. It won'...
2020-04-14 16:13:34 +0000 UTC View PostHey Patrons!
Here's a preview of the next song up: Confronting Myself from Celeste.
I'm hoping to have this one done before the end of the week (shooting for Friday-Saturday).
Before then, I have something else coming for you tomorrow: a reveal of all upcoming May Madness remakes!
See you then! :)

A long-awaited Persona remix has finally arrived: here's Life Will Change from Persona 5, featuring the amazing vocals of Sapphire and zany Aerophone skills of "Sax Dragon" Carl Catron!
This song was requested here on Patreon by Smithy4224, and upon it's official reveal on Patreon, while I was talking about vocalist options, he messaged me to ask me to consider Sapphire. I checked out her channel and was immediately blo...
2020-04-09 20:42:02 +0000 UTC View PostHey Patrons!
I didn't finish editing the Life Will Change video until a couple of hours ago, so the video will be up early tomorrow afternoon rather than tonight.
But until then, I give you a new acoustic short from the list of The HarDe One, this is The Days When My Mother Was There from Persona 5.
Original song is fairly long so this is just a normal, non-loopable acoustic short.
Enjoy! :)
I've come to change your life!
Here's your early download for Life Will Change from Persona 5, featuring vocalist Sapphire and once again "Sax Dragon" Carl Catron joining me for some Aerophone solo action!
During my initial search for a vocalist for this song, I was messaged by Smithy4224 (who was the on...

Hey Patrons, the Patreon Stream is starting momentarily! You can join us in chat here.
Do note that, in case you've missed the past couple of update posts, I'm streaming on Twitch for the next few months cause of some YouTube complications.

HEY HEY! COME ON OVER HAVE SOME FUN WITH CRAAAAAZY TAXI!
Alright I'm not gonna lie, I have a bit of a bias with this pick. The Offspring got me into rock music, the "Smash" album to be specific, and songs from said album were among the first things I ever learned to play on Guitar.
But I also did play a lot of Crazy Taxi. It was one of my first Gamecube games, and I was pleasantly surprised to find a few Offspring songs (as well as Bad Religion) made up the soundtrack.

The latest GaMetal song is here: K. Rool Duel from Donkey Kong 64!
The main reason I decided to choose this song was because of the lack of DK64 in the Nintendo 64 Medley. I feel like this is a solid way to make up for it.
The next song is will be ready and up on Wednesday, April 1st, for April Fools Day! You'll have to wait till then to find out what it is. :O
Until then, thank you all as always for your ongoing contributio...
2020-03-30 23:11:14 +0000 UTC View PostHey Patrons!
The K Rool Vid will be up in about an hour, but until then, here's a new Atmacoustic I made for today's end card, this is Bayou Boogie from DKC2: Diddy's Kong Quest, from the list of CalvinJJ.
Loopable, though I arranged it to be a bit shorter than the original (DKC songs tend to have incredibly long intro/ambient sections).
Enjoy!
Hey again!
Here's your early download for the next song: K. Rool Duel from Donkey Kong 64.
THIRTEEN different sections in the original (14 if you count the 2 measure intro), in the span of 3 minutes. Typical Grant Kirkhope final boss insanity!
The video should be ready and up tomorrow afternoon. Until then... enjoy! :)
2020-03-29 22:27:10 +0000 UTC View PostHey everyone!
First off, thank you all for your well wishes after I made my 'quick minor update' post on Thursday. One of my nephews (age 7) got into a really bad accident playing outside, bad enough to where he was transported to the hospital via helicopter. Things really could have gone either way, but thankfully it looks like he will be making a full recovery.
Obviously when we got the news my wife and I went straight there to support the family (after quickly finding a friend ...
2020-03-29 21:42:42 +0000 UTC View PostHey everybody,
There is going to be a little bit of a delay on the next song/video, we've got a family emergency going on at the moment (long story short: relative just got in an accident), so I'm going to be out for a few days.
The next song (K Rool Duel) should be finished on Sunday with the video up the following day. The April Fools special should still happen on April 1st, as planned.
Thank you all for understanding, I'll be back in a few days!
2020-03-26 23:33:16 +0000 UTC View PostHey Patrons!
Here's a preview of the next song up: K. Rool Duel from Donkey Kong 64.
The goal is to finish this one up tonight and have the video complete and up tomorrow.
Also, I may or may not be able to squeeze in a 4th song this month because of the April Fools Special coming on the 1st (which I have about 85% finished). I might try to finish up one of the easier songs on the to-do list (Blaster Master?) for the 31st, but I'll have a bet...

Before I get on to GaMetal stuff, I want to make a quick note about recent world events: the COVID-19 / Coronavirus pandemic.
I hope you are all doing well and have not had your daily lives and/or livelihood negatively impacted by everything going on lately. I may not be super old (turning 33 this year), but I've never seen anything quite like this on a worldwide scale before. Here in the USA, s...

Good morning/afternoon/evening everyone, here's the latest video: Zero from Ace Combat Zero: The Belkan War! An epic orchestral song with some latin stuff thrown in the mix.
I'm still looking to have 2 more songs finished and up before April. I will have an update post for you all later today with more details. Until then, thank you all as always for your ongoing contribution and support, you're the best community of all time! :)

Interesting song to remake! It's very orchestral but with some latin elements thrown in later, so I tried to keep true to that feel.
