Hello TIGSource! Glad to finally have a reason to post, I'm working on a game that mixes a bunch of new and old with platformers and I'd like to get a musical style to match. Fez does something awesome like this visually, but the audio is mostly ambient chiptune stuff, whereas I'm looking for something closer to Super Mario Galaxy 2 meets Sonic 2.
Electronica can also be a big influence, but I want the focus to be on reviving yet retaining an old thing. Inspirations are the Bionic Commando Rearmed soundtrack, artist
dummeh whose work was seen recently here on TIGSource with
Pirates of New Horizons, and the Tron Legacy soundtrack (where Daft Punk went for an orchestra/electronica merger)
Examples of attempts in the chiptune/orchestra genre are DJ-Nate's
Chiptune in my Pants and
. Does anyone know of any artists who have successfully merged orchestrated and chiptune music, playing both in the same song? (or at least capturing the aesthetic of it) Thanks guys!
Sidenote: I'm also generally looking to find out what the Kirby/Sonic/Mario musical genre is in general, but I figure that's much easier to figure out than this.
EDIT: to throw in a question mark icon by the topic name, because heck, why not.
