There’s something profoundly relaxing and sound-bathic about it, spesh with a low pass filter or filtering out all the treble.

The House song from Mother 1 is amazing and so is the rest of the album in this light

Try it; I double-dare you

    SNESdrunk

    Given that we’re talking about “relaxing music”, my first hit on Kagi for “SNESdrunk ost” is this and it looks apropos:

    Is that it? If it is, I suspect that from the sound quality on the first song, what they’re doing is taking someone’s MIDI file representing the SNES soundtrack and then rendering it using a newer soundfont.

    I don’t much like music rendered with FM synthesis myself, the way the original NES sound hardware worked — not a chiptunes fan — but I do keep around some old game MIDI files and listen to them with synthesis using newer soundfonts.

      I skimmed through the long compilation videos cause there are a few.

      I’m pretty sure it was a game list video or a one of his normal videos… I feel like I remember him raving about the music and saying something like “Just listen to this”, and then an entirely too sick metal-ish riff goes off.

      It could very well be a false memory though lol
