Classic Chips is an album I did in late 2011. It's a selection of classical music I like arranged for NES and Famicom expansions. I forgot to post about it here when I did it. It's free to listen on YouTube.

Yes, every composer used in Classic Chips is long dead.

haha, where did you hide the bodies?
rad stylings!! awesome that you hopped back and forth between straight-up recreations and employing more chip-specific tropes.
btw totally dug your famicompo SMB cover, too.
This.... is pretty awesome. I used to obsess over Debussy's works as a kid. A real treat to listen to. Great job!

I've been rocking this for awhile. Good stuff. I was surprised at how atypical some of the tunes were. No mozart
Good stuff.
I think Mozart was cool, but there's nothing of his that is a big favourite of mine. There are some amazing moments in his work, like the opening to String Quartet 19, but I dunno, he never made it to my top 5, y'know?
I'm a big lover of chip arrangements for orchestral music. It really flexes the composition skills of an artist. Stuff liek fluidvolt's 'Reflections of a Dancing Leaf' release.
I'll have to check this out later on. Sounds promising!
Is the animation/automation in the videos done using real nes program? That was a nice touch. It'd theoreticallymake a cool dvd feaurette
No the animation is not a NES program. There are too many colours for that.
Edit: I could make an NES ROM that animates to it, I do that kind of thing sometimes, but I didn't consider it worthwhile for this project at this point in time (esp. since the use of expansions on half the tracks makes it impossible to play those tracks on a regular NES). Also I didn't know how to program the NES when I first released Classic Chips-- I made my first NES ROM in January 2012.

Amazing work rainwarrior, I had actually listened to most of these a few months ago! I really think you did a fantastic job porting them over, it's masterfully done man!
