Description
This soundtrack consists of SNES SPC Chiptune made in Ableton Live 11 Lite w/ the C700 VST.
I imagined a scenario where a game composer rediscovers an old dev disk for a cancelled SNES game & decides to "repurpose" the music assets contained within it.
The Title & Level themes are meant to be a parody of the kind of music in low-budget games during the SNES era of gaming. It's definitely not an excuse for rushed compositions. "Repurposed Assets" samples the Level theme to use as a backbone of a Lo-Fi soundscape on the same hardware.

Artist comment:
This was a good excuse to try making SPC tunes with the C700 VST. Self-sampling is another thing I wanted to do, and I'm proud of how it came out.

Theme:

Two Worlds

How does it fit the theme?
The soundtrack represents the phrase "one man's trash is another man's treasure". What used to be thrown out game music is repurposed into something completely different. The two "worlds" in this case would be the approaches to creating music on limited hardware - the 90's game industry versus the demoscene/homebrew scene.
