“Naked Fist”, from the menu music of Streets of Rage in SEGA Vintage Collection. Copyright © SEGA. Made in Renoise with VOPM (FM) + Chipsounds (SSG).
I was asked by SEGA to make original menu music that stylistically resembles the vintage games featured in the collection. Obviously I had my work cut out for me in imitating the styles & techniques of game music greats, and my renditions themselves are streamed stuff composed using VOPM + Chipsounds (sorry, megadrive audio purists! I manually RE’d the voice parameters myself though, lol... :P ). But I’m hoping I nailed the style accurately enough that no one would notice!
In this case, I think the biggest flattery I can ever achieve with this song is if someone said “you didn’t make this, Yuzo Koshiro did.”
