GameChops Invites You To Avatar And Chill

GameChops Invites You To Avatar And Chill

, , , 4

Music producer Kyle Horvath, otherwise known as “SweetBoiKyle,” has teamed up with record label GameChops to produce Avatar And Chill, a new album of lofi hip-hop remixes from the treasured animated series Avatar: The Last Airbender. It would seem now would be the time to come up with something like this, given the publicity over the Netflix series (note: if you haven’t seen either, WATCH THE CARTOON first). But the album is a sequel to Chillbending, a bundle of tracks SweetBoiLyke published in 2020. This time he renders memorable tracks from across both Last Airbender and its sequel series Legend of Korra, including the main theme, “The Avatar’s Love,” “Leaves from the Vine,” “Secret Tunnel” and the ending credits theme from The Legend of Korra. 14 tracks in all! “Avatar: The Last Airbender is one of the great pieces of art in our lifetime,” says SweetboiKyle. “I never fully realized the mastery and profound writing of the series until rewatching in my adult life. This is my way of paying

Dale North Presents Perfect Selection Vol. 2

Scarlet Moon is the publisher of many many video game remix albums, as well as several authentic indie game albums including the works of composer Dale North. They’ve just announced North’s latest: a follow-up to PERFECT SELECTION, Dale’s mix of material from projects he’s taken on. The first album with that title came out in 2019; Dale’s been working hard since then and has amassed enough material to put together a second. “For a collection of miscellaneous one-offs, the first collection proved to be pretty popular,” remarks North. “I thought to myself: I have a lot more where that came from! They say variety is the spice of life and that really fits with how smaller projects help keep the work on bigger ones like full games excting and fresh. New perspectives and new collaborators help push us towards new possibilities. It’s fun to share the musical places I’ve been in these collections and have others enjoy them.” PERFECT SELECTION Dale North vol. two contains material from across Dale’s work

We’ve written about the compositions of Dale North before: he’s the man behind such video game soundtracks as RWBY: Arrowfell, Wizard of Legend, Wargroove 2, Dreamscaper, Sparklite, and he also wrote the theme song to Nintendo Minute back when that was a thing. The latest game to bear his music, Astral Ascent, steps out of Early Access to become a full product on Steam today, and there’s more: Dale’s soundtrack is being made available separately at the same time. “The score accentuates the majestic beauty of the game world as well as the intense boss battles with the Zodiacs.. Listeners will enjoy hearing the exploration, combat, and boss battle music heard in each of the game’s diverse areas of the astral prison know as the Garden,” says Scarlet Moon, publishers of the soundtrack. North’s work for Astral Ascent features a live orchestra and vocals by Emi Evans (NieR, Dark Souls, Star Wars Visions). Astral Ascent is a 2D platformer roguelite set in a modern fantasy world.

Scarlet Moon Halloween Is Back For Volume II

Scarlet Moon Halloween Is Back For Volume II

, , 4

Last year around this time, Scarlet Moon Records released a special Halloween-themed album featuring a mix of video game covers, and said they planned to make it an annual tradition. They kept to their word — Scarlet Moon Halloween Volume II has now been released on all storefronts. Last year’s Volume I featured spooky melodies from Doom, Silent Hill, Resident Evil and other games. Volume II stretches it a bit farther, taking tracks from games that aren’t primarily advertised as horror-centric, but have their moments. Talents featured on this year’s album include ROZEN (Kena: Bridge of Spirits, Sins of Hyrule), Goomin “Nauts” Nam (Ragnarok Online, DJMAX), Nami Nakagawa (vocalist on NieR series, Demon Slayer), and others. “It’s my favorite time of year once again, and I’m excited to hear what our assembled talent have put together for fans,” notes Scarlet Moon’s Jayson Napolitano. “I absolutely adore the FINAL FANTASY XVI battle theme, am excited to introduce Nami Nakagawa to our listeners, and am thrilled by the unconventional track selections and

The most successful line of video game cover albums that Scarlet Moon Records publishes are the Prescription for Sleep series. As of today, the thirteenth album has been released. Prescription for Sleep is a series of albums containing smooth jazz renditions of well-known melodies from popular video games. The series has covered Secret of Mana, Undertale, Celeste, Shovel Knight, Stardew Valley and many more.

Now Prescription for Sleep presents Game Music Lullabies Volume III, once again scored by the Japanese jazz duo GENTLE LOVE. Highlights include “Windmill Hut” from The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time, “Tristram” from the original Diablo, and “Kraid” from the original Metroid, along with renditions of songs from the NieR, Ys and Final Fantasy series. “I couldn’t be more pleased with how Volume III turned out,” says Scarlet Moon producer Jayson Napolitano. “I think we hit a fine balance between popular themes and deep

Scarlet Moon Records deals in video game cover albums, and we’ve reported on many of their releases here, but their most successful venture has been the Prescription for Sleep series.

Scarlet Moon Releases Shadows Of Hyrule

Scarlet Moon Releases Shadows Of Hyrule

Scarlet Moon, the music company that specializes in rearranged albums of familiar video game tunes, has a new one out timed for Halloween. Shadows of Hyrule is a celebration of the spookier side of the Legend of Zelda series. Shadows of Hyrule is the latest from ROZEN, who’s composed several album covers of video game tracks as well as some actual video game music (you can hear his own work in Kena: Bridge of Spirits). He’s covered Zelda three times already in the albums Sins of Hyrule, Ballads of Hyrule, and Children of Termina. But this time, he wanted to go a little darker, and used a similar open-world adventure game as inspiration. “Heavily inspired by the dark fantasy genre, I wanted to create a concept album featuring The Legend of Zelda in the style of the intense and brooding music From Software’s games like Elden Ring are known for,” reflects ROZEN. “This new entry in my ‘of Hyrule’ series is reminiscent of the same dark tone from Sins of

Vinyl In The Works For Attack On Titan Jazz Album

Vinyl In The Works For Attack On Titan Jazz Album

One of the weirder projects we’ve run across is a tribute to Attack On Titan from the Prescription For Sleep series. This series, created by music producers Scarlet Moon, has eleven installments so far, each one reinterpreting the soundtrack of a popular video game as smooth jazzy music to fall asleep to. The next album in the series, announced last month, pivoted to anime and picked a subject about as far from relaxing as you can get. Attack On Titan is about a massive, bloody war between the survivors of humanity and the widely grinning naked giants that like to trample and eat them (the situation eventually changes somewhat, but that’s a spoiler). Scarlet Moon producer Jayson Napolitano admits even without the startling elements, this is an unorthodox swerve for the series. “I came to enjoy Attack on Titan pretty late, right before season 2, so I haven’t been waiting nearly as long as most fans out there,” “This is the first time we’ve produced an album in the series

Scarlet Moon Releases Dale North’s Marble Knights Soundtrack

Scarlet Moon Releases Dale North’s Marble Knights Soundtrack

, , , , , , 0

We’ve spotlighted the work of video game music artist Dale North here before. His latest work is the soundtrack for Marble Knights, a competitive brawler where all the fighters have giant round marbles for lower bodies and victory involves mastery of rolling physics and ricocheting off each other in just the right way. Marble Knights was developed by Wayforward, who always does good work, but unfortunately the game is currently exclusive to Apple Arcade. The soundtrack, however, isn’t. Scarlet Moon just released North’s score, which they describe as “a playful and grandiose orchestral fantasy soundtrack with retro accents.” “I had a lot of forward momentum rolling into my work on the soundtrack for Marble Knights,” North recalls for this one. “The fantastic art, gliding gameplay, and outstanding voice work all made spinning up the music very easy. And, of course, I almost lost my marbles when I heard I’d be working with Studio Trigger, one of my favorite animation studios ever. Needless to say, being able to write this fantasy/chiptune

Scarlet Moon Records specializes in video game cover albums, but once a year, they break from tradition a bit. For five Decembers now, they’ve put out a special Christmas album featuring their top artists. This time they’ve brought together Hunter Bridges (Audio Director at Evening Star), Osamu Kubota (arranger on Kingdom Hearts and Ragnarok Online), and mojera, a duo comprised of composer Mitsuto Suzuki and vocalist Non. Some of the festive tracks they’ve created are from video games, while others are traditional carols. “We love putting together these Christmas compilations, and it’s great that so many of our artists and friends are also big fans of Christmas music,” notes Scarlet Moon’s Jayson Napolitano. “We’re really excited to have Gene Micofsky and mojera contribute to the series for the first time. We’ve known Mitsuto Suzuki of mojera for some years and know he’s a huge Christmas music fan, so it was exciting to have them on board. I think fans will also enjoy an original Christmas track by VECTORDRIVE and Ryan

Two years ago, Wizard of Legend was released for consoles and PC. It’s a procedurally generated roguelike where you guide a wizard through ten-floor dungeons called the “Chaos Trials.” The game received good reviews and strong sales, and if you liked the soundtrack (composed by the great Dale North), good news: it’s been remixed as the latest installment of Scarlet Moon Records’ Prescription For Sleep series. Prescription For Sleep covers popular game tunes in soft lullaby form. The previous eight albums have covered Shovel Knight, Undertale and many more. Soon Wizard of Legend will be added to that list, with every track in the game covered: 01. Wizard of Legend 02. Lanova’s Treasures 03. Prepare for Chaos 04. Freiya’s Cage 05. Atlas’s Terrace 06. Zeal’s Forge 07. Shuu’s Spire 08. Arcane Refuge 09. Duel 10. Duel of Legend 11. Magical Merrymaking 12. Reconciliation (Original) “I’ve been working with Dale North for many years, and it made sense for us to pay tribute to his amazing breakout soundtrack to Wizard of
