Description
The genre made here is Midi Music, since it uses only instruments from general midi. I used a software called Sekaiju, which is a Midi Sequencer to compose this, and rendered it to audio using Keppy's Midi Converter, which allows it to be played through various soundfonts, the one here is just standard GM.SF2.
My main inspirations from this came from the doom community, mostly Staccato Slaughter by Peter Lawrence, made for the NRFTL midi pack, which shares similar fast paced syncopated notes and the same drum kit. My chord progressions in the later halves and a few of my instruments used came from Kuiper Belt by AD_79 for the doom mapset Tetanus, which is now officially on the unity port of doom.
Theme
How does it fit the theme?
I made this with the thought of being inside the doom world, and technically it's my world to be in so I just went with that while writing this.

this track goes full throttle straight from the get go and never backs down. Super exciting!
Hey... I remembered how I used to do arena levels for Doom 2! Honestly? Your soundtrack has caused me a lot of nostalgia!
Good sound! Thanks to midi instruments, it sounds like old doom... but you transformed it and decorated it with additional beauty! I like it!
Thanks)
Great work! Something I really liked was how you leaned I to the MIDI sound with the percussion near the beginning, those hardcore, repeated 16th note kicks had this really fun character.
WOW BlurryBoy! This is awesome!!!
So much Doom influence here. Absolutely loved it!
It was very valuable for me to read about your compositional process, super intuitive 😄
I'm glad to hear it was a valuable read for you! Also thank you and everyone else for your kind comments on my work, as going into this I felt the MIDI sound would end up being a lot more divisive than it actually is. :)
Really weird comparison but the midi sounds reminded me of the game Roadrage on PC and the only reason I know that is from a youtube video by Brutalmoose.
Wow you really squeezed everything out of midi on this, really impressive stuff, well done!
Rocking chiptune! I really like how the tempo sped up near the one minute mark. Great job!
A fellow doom lover! This goes crazy hard. I like it a lot!
Nether thought GeneralMidi would sound so banging. And here you are. Very cool submission. Sounded something between Doom in the beginning and got more and more like Turrican.
That was really cool and epic as well! I loved the catchy riff and old school vibes of it. I found it to be a very coherent composition throughout the whole 4:40, and it also kept me entertained at all times.
Haven't heard a MIDI entry yet! This was a fun, blast-from-the-past in a lot of ways. Feel like this era of music was too short-lived in a lot of ways. Glad to see people are keeping it alive and still investing in it!
Compositionally, it's pretty good! Tracks are nice and varied and the chosen soundfont works really well I think. Had this not been a jam entry, I'd presume it is from an actual game. Good work!
Special Badass Prize for this one! Doom '93 the best.
