Game Music 4 All looking for contributors for Genesis/Megadrive compilation!

Posted on by

From GM4A:

OK
Everyone, time for our next compilation! What we are looking for are
any and all songs about the Sega Genesis (or Megadrive, if you will)

Criteria:
192KBPS or better quality track

song can be made specifically for this album, or donated from previous work

I need your email address, and myspace URL if you have one

Remix/Cover
of songs from Sega Genesis games – Please let me know the game and
original song name so we don’t have ten covers of the first level of
streets of rage or something

Songs with Lyrics – The instrumentation can be a game song remix or original tune, as long as you are singing/rapping about the genesis or a game found on the sega genesis!

Songs are needed by October 1st! And the songs should be well and cleanly recorded, and be awesome!

PS If you are doing a sonic cover, pick something obscure, all the most recognizable ones are taken! Also, I want an SNES diss song somewhere on this compilation!

Posted on by

Okay, so I’m a year and a half late,
but you guys know all the crazy stuff that’s happened in the past year
and a half –I have not forgotten about my album(s), and last weekend I
finished recording all my best Kwakfests, and I’m releasing a few
previews as Youtube videos.
Here’s the first:

 

Keep checking back for more info, this is going to come together quickly, I think. So far, plans are to sell an actual disc and maybe put it on iTunes somehow. We will see.

mithius releases ”The Story of Hyrule”; 44 track arrangement/original album.

Posted on by

A few days ago, on a couple of forums, community member mithius released “The Story of Hyrule.” An epic 44 track album, comprised of both arrangements from Zelda 1 through a Link to the Past, as well as a number of original tracks. The post was long and kind of disjointed, the website was a bit “1996”, but the music was absolutely AMAZING. That’s when I decided to start work on a proper website and hosting to really showcase mithius’s hard work.
I want to point out that, even though it’s hosted under the ReMix:ThaSauce subdomain, this album is NOT affiliated with R:TS or ThaSauce at all. I simply wanted to make sure this album got proper presentation. All the music and story on the site is by mithius and mithius alone. All I did was give him a website and some hosting. (I would’ve like to give him a subdomain, but that’s just not an option at this point.)

Anyway, give it a listen an enjoy an epic musical journey through the lands of Hyrule!

This week we will be holding a special compo. The theme is a samplepack containing all the sound effects and voices from Team Fortress 2. Please be aware that there are a large number of samples and going through them may be somewhat overwhelming – which is one of the reasons why this compo will be open for one week. Starting this Sunday, you may begin your song. Please have it uploaded by next Sunday, July 27th by 9 PM Pacific / Midnight Eastern.

New ThaSauce T-Shirts Ready for Pre-Order.

Posted on by

The design is finished, and I’m ready to order the shirts. I just need to know how many to get. Right now shirts will cost $20 a piece, which includes shipping. HOWEVER the more pre-orders I can, the cheaper the price gets. I’d like to see it get down to around $15, but it’s really up to you people.
