Sea Venture Soundtrack: The Remixes

[+DZ-Jay]

As part of a collaborative project with game and chiptune musician @Nyuundere, I've prepared a set of remixes of his Intellivision tracks for the Intellivision game Sea Venture, released back in 2018.  @Nyuundere recently released his video game soundtracks as compilation CDs, and he graciously asked me to remix the Sea Venture tracks using the Intellivision Music Track (IMT).

 

Starting from @Nyuundere's original tracks written in a notation for the IntyBASIC music player, I converted them to the IMT format and rearranged them in interesting ways.  The resulting tracks take advantage of the six channels available on an Intellivision expanded with the ECS computer module, and include all new instrument sounds and custom drums designed specifically for this project -- all beautifully played on two AY-3-8914 for maximum chiptune goodnes.

 

There are seven remixed tracks in total in the Sea Venture Soundtrack compilation CD:

• Beat It - Michael Jackson
• Tainted Love (Mastermix) - Soft Cell
• Down Under - Men At Work
• We're Not Gonna Take It - Twisted Sister
• Take On Me - a-Ha
• Jessie's Girl - Rick Springfield
• Overtaken - Activision Anthology (GBA)

 

I intend to prepare a music player ROM to share, but in the meantime, I've recorded simple videos for each track and posted them to my Vimeo channel.

 

If you are interested in a copy of the Sea Venture Soundtrack compilation CD, you may contact @Nyuundere directly via PM.  In any case, I include links to all the videos below, for your enjoyment.

Thanks!  I hope they show what the Intellivision can do.

 

To all programmers out there:  I want to hear tracks like this in your Intellivision games.  The hardware is capable, and we have talented musicians in the scene, so there are no excuses.  ?

Hahaha!  Although I much prefer staring at the cool colorful star field from yours while I listen, than a stupid screenshot of a title screen.
