I'm composing a medley of NES tunes for my college concert band. It will be around 8-9 minutes long and will premier in full next April; we might play the first half (which is more or less finished) in the fall. This is in preparation for a wholly original 15-20 minute piece that I'll be starting next summer and counting as my senior project.
Since today's rehearsal was a train wreck, the band director asked me to make a synthesized recording that the band could listen to. Five hours of Cakewalk later, and I've got a mock-up that, despite all the flaws of hasty computer music, lets one hear *almost* all of the instruments in a reasonable balance.
8-bit Overture, segments 1 and 2 - Metroid, Mega Man, and Jackal
I'm thinking about bringing a real NES to the podium during performance and actually switching cartridges between tunes. This might either be hilarious or really stupid. What do you think?
