Hopefully, I'll get around to playing To The Moon. However, I still have tons of games to finish (mostly from Humble Bundles), so that may take a while.
Especially with Amnesia.
@Dale: That was awesome.

Remix: 'Everything's Alright' from To The Moon
[People keep telling me to share my arrangements, so I am! -D] Did you play Freebird Games' indie RPG To The Moon? If you haven't, you're missing something great. It looks like an old 16-bit RPG, but the story is beautiful and surprising. Do yourself a favor and check it out. Also beautiful is the game's soundtrack, especially the vocal piece "Everything's Alright," by composer Laura Shigihara (Plants vs. Zombies). I was instantly hooked from the first listen, and knew that I would eventually cover it. Late last night I did that, giving the song a bit of an R&B spin, complete with stacks of background vocals. It's a bit rushed, but I hope you dig it anyway. Game music forever! As always, you can download this full song and check out my other works at DaleNorth.com or on YouTube. Did you know?

Legacy Comments (will be imported soon)Took you long enough dale, I don't know why dtoid hasn't really promoted it until now. Nice arrangement tho! Spacecat ftw! I didn't know you were ACTUALLY a composer. I listened to your song in the EarthBound remix compilation, Bound Together, and I didn't know what to think. This cover was amazing, by the way.
Hopefully, I'll get around to playing To The Moon. However, I still have tons of games to finish (mostly from Humble Bundles), so that may take a while. Especially with Amnesia. oh crap! apologies for the 4x posting, but I kept coming back to the page and thought the post lagged out or something! To the Moon was one of the more interesting surprises I played last year. Not sure I'd play it again though. At least not anytime soon. @Rondo-Vanity: I am experiencing a similar moment of realization. I have listened to a ton of songs by Dale North on OCRemix, many of which I would say are among my favourites there, but I had just always presumed that was a different Dale North.
@Dale: That was awesome. @Dale: It is amazing to know a fellow gamer/musician. I'm a vocalist in Singapore and am very impressed with your work (listened to the stuff on your blog)! You're probably better than a lot of performers out there. Do you mind sharing your recording/arrangement process with me so I have someone to learn from? What kind of equipment do you use for arrangement and recording and what effects do you apply for post-pro? Feel free to drop me an email at apokalip85@hotmail.com if this isn't the place to talk about it. Many thanks! 12:30 PM on 05.22.2013 Xboned!
