Battle! Galarian Legendary Birds - Gen 5 Remix Listen on: YouTube
Transcribing this was hellish but im proud of how it came out regardless, i also arranged it in a way that it will be able to play on a DS though because i was so busy with Pokémon Unbound i haven't learned how to inject into a DS rom properly yet but i hope you enjoy anyway! Also speaking of Unbound, i'll upload the rest of my songs very soon, i'm currently waiting for the art to be done which is why you can have this in the mean time, my apologies!
Also the reason it can sound empty at parts is cause i wrote this for pokemon unbound so i had to keep a lot of limitations in mind, i still tried my best tho!
Bogey Theme Listen on: YouTube
Bogey's Theme, also written as fan music for Kid Radd. Since Bogey was a basic enemy from Kid Radd's game, I figured a simple "level 1" style theme would fit him.

Fly Away Listen on: circlejourney.net
Fly Away is a track I made for my secondary school graduation ceremony. That was back in 2010... I've remade this track maybe 2 or 3 times, because I always liked it, but I never felt like my skills quite matched up to the vision I had for it... It's meant to be a duet between a student and a teacher, that was the original intent of it... As a graduation song, it's kind of bittersweet, and, uh, I had some friends tell me they cried when they heard it. I guess it was just, like, the context and everything.

Toby Fox ✑ "UNDERTALE 6th Anniversary So We Play DELTARUNE Chapter 1 For Some Reason - LIVE!" in-video commentary
I actually really like this song and wanted to use it to introduce a leitmotif, but I ended up using a more evocative song with a different motif. I'll try to make an excuse to use the song in the game somewhere.
Game Main Theme (Piano Sketch) Listen on: YouTube
Toby Fox ✑ "UNDERTALE 6th Anniversary So We Play DELTARUNE Chapter 1 For Some Reason - LIVE!" in-video commentary
The arrangement is really early, but I created this thinking of an animated intro for the game, similar to Wild Arms. I still see it in my head when I listen to the song.
The best part would have been at the end when everyone is running up the staircase as the silhouettes of the bosses from all the chapters show up, and the Knight, standing in a white door at the top of the stairs, turns around and looks down at them...

so scott pilgrim has been on the brain recently since i got my collector's edition and since a while back bryan lee o'malley asked about my music (dead Twitter link) and i replied but he never got back to me and since i'm really rude and all i care about in life is famous people i respect looking at me i'm summoning him with a cover of a sex bob-omb song and these scott pilgrim gifs i made (the third one would be uploaded so you could see it without having to make a tiny effort but tumblr couldn't handle it)

Not released on any soundtrack album. This track name is from the in-game sound test room; in the game files it's
mus_st_him.ogg.
Gnarl Theme Listen on: YouTube
Gnarl's Theme, also written for Kid Radd. Since Gnarl was the final boss of Radd's game, it was obvious that his theme should sound like boss fight music. It has a little of Radd's theme mixed in there, since Radd and Gnarl are brothers (not a spoiler, we find that out pretty quickly in chapter 1).
Goodbye
I started this piece months ago and am pleased to have finally finished it. It's certainly my biggest track to date - my project file tells me I've worked on it for 35 hours and 48 minutes! Anyway I quite like the main melody and hopefully the mastering is a bit better than my previous works now that I'm more experienced with things.
A song for when I'm an emo fox (I'm happier now, honest!), which the vast majority of times is relationship related.
I can't be everything for everyone.

It Really Doesn't Matter
This song wasn't really planned but I kept at it for quite a while and am fairly satisfied with it's length and quality; probably my best so far. I hope you enjoy it too and thank you for listening :]
Lyrics are somewhat negative, don't worry I'll make some happier music eventually!

SplitSuns ✑ SoundCloud description
Yes it's meant to sound like this.
I've been on a big Naked Flames kick lately, and so I wanted to make a lo-bit EDM track in the vein of his recent albums. A 40-second sketch turned into a 6 and a half minute rager. Hope you all enjoy and the sound doesn't weird you out too much. This will be on a future Vast Error album so stay tuned for that!
Kid Radd (Final) Listen on: YouTube
The author contacted me to do music for the final comic; this is a recording of it. it was originally in MIDI format, so it ended up sounding different on different computers (this is how it sounded on mine at the time). It uses the themes for Bogey and Sheena at the beginning, and was primarily Radd's theme after that. Out of all of the music I wrote, this is the only one that wasn't technically just "fan music", but was actually official to the comic.
Kid Radd Theme Listen on: YouTube
As some of you might know, Problem Sleuth wasn't the first animated webcomic that I wrote fan music for. Way back in the early 2000's, I wrote some fan music for a webcomic called Kid Radd (original site is down, but there's a mirror). The author liked it so much, he not only posted it on the fan section of the webpage, but later on when the comic ended, he contacted me about doing music for the final comic. An honor, as it was a great comic; it was like Wreck-It Ralph many years before Wreck-It Ralph.

Toby Fox ✑ "UNDERTALE 6th Anniversary So We Play DELTARUNE Chapter 1 For Some Reason - LIVE!" in-video commentary
I only had the idea for the intro of the song, but it didn't feel like it fit too well.
So I only made forty seconds of it.

SNESology ✑ original Tumblr post
After a slight hiatus, we have a new track for your ears by no one other than the returning Toby “Radiation” Fox of Homestuck (he does a lot of their music). Toby returns to us w/ an interesting track. It’s cute, it’s catchy, and it’s laid back and just what calls for a Tuesday night :)
Also note that he uses many various game samples, such as CT, SMRPG, LTTP, YI, and KDL3... That’s a lot of game acronyms.

The Person That Should Pay Is Listen on: SoundCloud, YouTube
Track released 11/12/2023.
A JRPG battle theme using the live a live soundfont.
I did a really catchy hook. So I grabbed the Live a Live soundfont and did a track arround it. Inspired by both megalomania and "A Painful Death at the Hands of a Psycho"
Does it fit the game? is it catchy? way too repetitive? IDK I was having fun while making it.
(Also the name was inspired by Bravely Default because that's what makes it a true JRPG song.)

Shake Your Tail Listen on: YouTube
I first started working on this song last Summer and finally got round to completing it a couple of months ago. I wanted to release it along with a piece of art but naturally this puts things back further!
I had a lot of fun with this one, the melody seems strong and the percussion and overdriven synths are hopefully pleasing. The lyrics came naturally:

Sheena Theme Listen on: YouTube
Sheena's Theme, written for Kid Radd. Sheena is Radd's "girlfriend" that he has to rescue at the end of his game. Since that's the only time she shows up in the game, it made sense that her music would sound like a winning game over theme. Naturally, Radd's theme is mixed in there too.

I created the main synth part to this when I was meant to be revising special relativity, I couldn't help it. This took me around 5 days to complete, which is a vast improvement over how long my last song took. I hope the mastering is ok, it sounds decent on my headphones but I haven't put it through my speakers yet as it's getting late.

Crediting info for specific tracks from Toontown Online is generally unknown. Jamie Christopherson contributed, but also spoke in a 2022 interview (via Wikipedia lol):
I was brought in a little later to that project, and there was probably at least seven, eight, maybe ten other composers involved with that. And so people are trying to pick out, who did what, y'know. I was just one of the composers on that. Yeah, I did a bunch of music, but I don't even remember which ones anymore - it's so long ago.

Prologue Listen on: YouTube
Quasar Nebula: wiki editor
This track scores parts of EarthBound's prologue. The first half, titled on soundtrack releases as 逆襲 ("Counterattack" or "Strike Back"), is the main menu opening; the second, 眠ってる場合じゃない ("This Is No Time to Be Sleeping"), plays during an in-game walkaround near the start of the game.
The first half is known online as "The Evil Giygas Attacks!" (in two parts) and the second as "One Fateful Night..." and "Unidentified Falling Object". These names all appear to trace to Starmen.net since around June 2007, and previously to SNESmusic.org since May 2004 or earlier. The English name "Prologue" is given on the official 2016 vinyl release; the part names don't seem to have received official localization.
Title (Uwol: Quest for Money) Listen on: YouTube
Niklink: wiki editor
While you may recognize this song as the Game Over theme from that one Russian Felix the Cat game (a bootleg Genesis port of the NES game), the music is actually plagiarized from the Genesis port of Uwol: Quest for Money, an original homebrew game first released for the ZX Spectrum. While you may remember the track being faster, it in fact was always this same speed but often mangled by running a PAL region game at NTSC speed (resulting in a 20% speedup).
Totaka's Song Listen on: YouTube

Originally found in Mario Paint and known as 'Mario Paint song', it was its discovery in Animal Crossing as a secret track you could only hear by requesting 'K.K. Song' from K.K. Slider that clued fans in as to its true nature, as the character is based on Nintendo composer Kazumi Totaka. Versions of this song have been hidden in almost every game he has been involved in, usually by idling in some specific part of the game for several minutes.

Niklink: wiki editor
The provided lyrics are the most common version of this French nursery rhyme, and are a parody of "La Confidence naïve", a 1774 poem that was the first known publication of the melody set to words. The tune itself was first published in 1761 and is an anonymous pastoral song believed to date back to the 1740s. This melody forms the basis of not only the Alphabet song, but also other nursery rhymes like "Twinkle, Twinkle, Little Star" and "Baa, Baa, Black Sheep".

Das Lied vom Musikanten Listen on: YouTube
Niklink: wiki editor
Title is lit. "The song of the musician". Some versions are known as "Ich bin ein Musikanten", lit. "I am a musician". This folk song originated in northwestern Germany sometime in the early 19th century. As with most folk music, it evolved from a shifting amalgamation of various earlier melodies— one notable one being a 1761 melody by Leopold Mozart, father of Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart. It's since spread in a variety of forms throughout eastern Europe, and in the 21st century, through China, Korea, and most importantly Japan, where it became a popular children's song. Lyrics here are based on a 19th century songbook.
Deck the Halls Listen on: YouTube

The alternate lyrics, of unknown provenance, were first known to have been published in 1877, 15 years after the original English-language lyrics. By far the most popular variation of the song, they remove all reference to alcohol consumption.

La Espero Listen on: YouTube
Niklink: wiki editor
While Félicien Menu de Ménil's composition is by far the best known, there are several other tunes created for it that date much earlier. Translated lyrics via Wikipedia.
Farewell Song Listen on: YouTube
Niklink: wiki editor
"Farewell Song" was first published in a self-made songbook "Songs Song by R.D. BURNETT. The blind man. Monticello - - - Kentucky." in 1913. Those original lyrics are printed here verbatim, with the exception of adjustments to punctuation. However, later in life Dick Burnett himself was unsure of whether he composed the song entirely by himself or drew upon other works. Research has found tentative roots in hymns and folk songs from Kentucky and Virginia throughout the 19th century; as a traveling street performer Dick knew a vast amount of such works.
While the song was first recorded in 1927 by Dick, Columbia Records did not release the recording, making Emry Arthur's 1928 recording the earliest. It is this version that is linked here, and this version that first adopted the name "I Am a Man of Constant Sorrow" which the song is now commonly known as.
The First Noel Listen on: YouTube
Niklink: wiki editor
The provided lyrics are derived from the first known publication of the carol, known then as "The First Nowell", in 1823. The melody is believed to date from at least the eighteenth century, though it is possibly hundreds of years older, and with endless existing variations to its lyrics.

God Rest You Merry, Gentlemen Listen on: YouTube
Niklink: wiki editor
The earliest known version of this carol dates from the 1650s, and there is a vast array of slightly different variations on its lyrics circulating today. The provided lyrics in this wiki are arbitrarily taken from Bing Crosby's 1942 recording. It is sometimes known as "God Rest Ye Merry, Gentlemen" or "Tidings of Comfort and Joy".
Good Morning to All Listen on: YouTube
Niklink: wiki editor
While it has been put forward that this song was based on existing previous published music, such as "Happy Greetings to All" (also known as"A Happy Greeting to All"), "Good Night to You All", and "A Happy New Year", this claim is highly disputed.
Greensleeves Listen on: YouTube
Niklink: wiki editor
The first known versions of Greensleeves date from the 1580. Two versions of the ballad were registered on the same day, one as "A Newe Northen Dittye of ye Ladye Greene Sleves" and another as "Ye Ladie Greene Sleeves answere to Donkyn hir frende", but the tune certainly predates these versions and authors. There have been countless variations of the lyrics and other lyrics set to the tune, but its association with Christmas came at a later date. The provided lyrics are from the 1584 publication "A Handful of Pleasant Delights", where it was known as "A New Courtly Sonnet of the Lady Green Sleeves. To the new tune of Green Sleeves."
I've made some effort to update the spelling to modern standards, but don't blame me if some verses don't rhyme; blame the Great Vowel Shift.

Movement 4 of Holst's suite "The Planets".
Magnificat Listen on: YouTube
Niklink: wiki editor
The Magnificat is a canticle also known as the "Song of Mary", "Canticle of Mary", or "Ode of the Theotokos" (Theotokos is a Greek title for Mary roughly meaning 'Mother of God'). The text is taken from the Gospel of Luke 1:46-55; this section of the gospel is known as the Visitation. Traditionally a doxology (the Gloria Patri) is appended to the canticle, but is ommitted by Part in lieu of repeating the initial line. The Latin text is from the Vulgate, the provided English translation is from the Book of Common Prayer.
Authorship of the Gospel of Luke is traditionally attributed to Luke the Evangelist, mentioned as a companion of Paul the Apostle, though the actual text is anonymous. The gospels of Mark, Matthew, and Luke all share large quantities of material, and the literary relationship between the three is unknown (the 'synoptic problem'). However the Magnificat is material unique to Luke. Seen through the lens of some of the most common synoptic theories, this could mean the material was indeed authored by the author of Luke, taken from a lost 'Q source' of material from which Matthew and Luke drew (and Mark did not), or taken from a different lost 'L source' from which only Luke drew.
Messiah Listen on: YouTube
Niklink: wiki editor
Messiah has 53 movements. A full performance of the oratorio usually takes over two hours, not counting intermission time. However it is most enduring in popular culture—and probably being referenced in this wiki because of—the 44th movement, aka the "Hallelujah Chorus", and that movement is the only one included in the provided lyrics.
Niklink: wiki editor
The words are from the King James Bible, Revelation 19:6, 11:15, and 19:16. The Book of Revelation claims to be written by 'John' on the island of Patmos. Christian tradition claims this to be John the Apostle and also John the Evangelist (author of the Gospel of John), but scholars generally consider these to be three different people and separate the author of Revelation as 'John of Patmos'.
Misirlou Listen on: YouTube
Niklink: wiki editor
This folk dates back to at least the 1920s, but its origins probably lie further back. The title ('Μισιρλού') translates to 'Egyptian (feminine)' therefore this song is also known as 'Egyptian Girl'. The earliest known recording by Theodotos Demetriades, from 1927, is linked.
Moonlight Sonata Listen on: YouTube, YouTube, YouTube
Niklink: wiki editor
While this composition is commonly known as the "Moonlight Sonata", the name comes from a critic's remark on this work a few years after Beethoven's death. This sonata, Piano Sonata No. 14, was published alongside his (much less well-known) Piano Sonata No. 13, both under the title "Sonata quasi una Fantasia" (Sonatas in the style of a Fantasia), categorized as his opus number 27.
Nos Galan Listen on: YouTube
Niklink: wiki editor
The lyrics by Talhaiarn were publshed in 1862, alongside the original Deck the Halls lyrics. (Thank you to megatti from the HSMusic Wiki for providing a translation!) However the most popular Welsh lyrics for this melody were published in 1873 by John Ceiriog Hughes, and are shown here as alternate lyrics. They're not only completely different but also were published alongside another completely separate set of English lyrics, 'Soon The Hoar Old Year Will Leave Us' by John Oxenford. The original melody dates back to 16th-century Wales.

The provded translated lyrics are more faithful to the original German text and was made in 1998 by Bettina Klein.

Niklink: wiki editor
This carol dates from the 13th century though its first known printing is in "Piae Cantiones ecclesiasticae et scholasticae veterum episcoporum" (Pious ecclesiastical and school songs of the ancient bishops) from 1582. The provided English versions of the lyrics come from "The Oxford Book of Carols" from 1928, probably the most well known translation. It is a free translation, rather than a literal one, in order to fit the lyrical structure and flow of the "Flower Carol". The added doxology at the end of the translation is not included.

heh:
how did he make that *poh* sound or that woash sound?If the poh is the backbeat, I think it was a synthetic snare drum with a lot of reverb. If the woash is at 3:57, it's cymbal roll with padded mallets.

thanks for the info, what about the other samples, like the pad, the weird bass guitar, and that choir church thingy, im so close to recreating it in fl studioAt the time I was using a Kurzweil K2000, a Roland Sound Canvas, a Roland Super Jupiter and a Yamaha DX7.

Really, this track was published in 1994 no 1996, because modified date of the original CD of Starter Kid is 13.08.1994 01:10That's probably the copyright date of the original software. My music was for version 3, and my records indicate that I started working on it in August 1996.

There are official English lyrics to this song but they change things to mention 'memes' and 'YouTube clips', so I just ran the lyrics through Google Translate instead.

This demo was reused for many other Casio devices. Manuals and literature sometimes refer to it as "German Folk Song" (partially correct) or "Unterlanders Heimweh" (lit. "Lowlander's Homesickness") (which is a different German folk song, although later Casio devices actually used the correct song instead). Japanese materials correctly refer to it as a version of "Yama No Ongakuka".

Michael Guy Bowman ✑ Stutzman scholar
Because he is far too much of a threat to national security to be allowed to start his own Tumblr, I feel obligated to tell you about this masterpiece by my old pal Scott Stutzman.
For the final project of Scott's music production class, he and his classmates were roped into recording and producing a song from start to finish. For whatever reason it was decided that it would be a collaboration between the whole class and everyone would turn in their own mix. The professor decided to allow the class to decide as a group what the genre would be and whose song they would use.
Despite the entire class consisting of guys who play guitar, no one had the guts to suggest a genre offhand. The biggest slacker of them all, a white kid with dreadlocks who had missed half the classes, half-heartedly suggested reggae, an offer which the teacher accepted.
The teacher asked for people to volunteer their songs. Again, no one was ballsy enough to speak up - Scott was one of the few who had written a song from time to time, but since his usual faire is stuff about death, loss of innocence, and Fruity Pebbles, he thought maybe it was best to abstain from this poll. Songwriting duties were given to a black-haired faux-goth at the back of the room who claimed to have written "a lot of songs" but that they were all "just lyrics" and no music.
This should have been a red flag to the earnest professor, who spent the next couple of days matching her "song" to music. The entire class found itself sitting in on the extra-spooky recording sessions for her love song to the undead titled "Falling for Ghosts" in what was the invention of the new genre Emo Reggae.
On the last day of class, everyone showed up with a CD containing their own personal mix of the song. It must have been monotonous sitting there hearing "Falling for Ghosts" over and over with little-to-no variation between versions... except of course for this one with some SCARETACULAR additional material which Scott decided to record and add in at the last second.
TL;DR when you get to the 3 minute mark, everything will suddenly make sense.
I did a mix of a classmate's song as a school project. (I added a little somethin' to the middle. I don't think she liked it.)

Home (Keys of a Piano) Listen on: Newgrounds
O'Neil Gerald ✑ Newgrounds description
Okay...I think I've established a new genre. I call it...Drum & Keys! Why, you might ask. This song here is a slight example of how instead of creating rock with a guitar, I use a piano to create a lyrical but substantial melody that drives my songs. Tell me what you think of the song and my genre name!
BTW, this version of the song is eqed to sound less clustered in the chorus. It's all I could do with an mp3 file.

While the Stanley Brothers first recorded the song in 1951 (and claimed copyright on the song, as no previous performers had done so), it's the 1959 recording here linked that popularized the song and formed the basis of most modern versions.

The song originates with Coward's 1932 revue "Words and Music"; no recording exists, however. Dinah Washington's 1961 version (her second time recording it) is the most popular and enduring version.

This is one of the oldest songs. I picked the random name "risen" and said to God "Oh, you're ambitious," thinking it was an epic name. He laughed and gave an epic song!

This track is part of Paul Lawler's Fantasy Tales album for APM Music's Quantum music library. Paul would end up licensing this song and others to Aviary's Music Creator, a now-dead online DAW that came preloaded with cut-up samples and stems of such stock tracks. It should be noted that the licensing terms did not allow using this program for commercial purposes, as ended up happening with Teal Seer. (See more thorough explanations [in Homestuck Discord] here and here.)
Paul Lawler ✑ email, via Homestuck Discord
If I remember rightly this is a track I composed that went into some kind of program 20+ years ago, which enabled editors to play around with the audio stems, so it might be he used that, but that doesn't give him any rights to sell it for profit.

The laugh sample is great
I've used it in like 3 songs,
as a sound effect in Anima Reprise,
and it will probably end up in another project I'm working on lolI'm having trouble finding the original clip I stole the laugh from, but it was some sesame street clip of some of the characters laughing
And it sounded close enough to big bird so I went with itI cut it up to make it a better evil laugh

Unofficial name. This sound effect was not made for Roblox, its first appearance was in the Year 2000 video game Messiah, within the opening and ending cutscenes, as well as other parts of the game. Roblox replaced this sound with a different one on July 26th 2022. Tommy Tallarico is currently the legal owner of this sound effect, but Hbomberguy has made an almost 2-hour long video discussing who is the actual creator.
The "Unknown Artist" here is the young girl being heavily edited. (see 1:51:34 of the aforementioned video)
In case you don't have time to watch it, here's the most important part:
Tommy Tallarico ✑ sound effect copyright owner; Twitter, deleted
As seen in recent YT videos the sfx used in Roblox was created by my lead sound designer Joey Kuras back in the late 90's.
