Toby Fox: (portfolio commentary)

Created as an homage to the final battle of the Super Nintendo game EarthBound utilizing instruments from the game itself. A rockin' midi boss battle theme for an alien overlord.

Toby Fox: (tumblr commentary)

From the collaborative EarthBound fan-album I was a part of a while back.

Clearly callback to the final boss theme in the original game, in both instrumentation and structure. I’m not as good at writing dissonant, alien metal, so I took a more melodic approach, integrating the low-intensity NES section into the rest of the song instead of dropping it once the guitars kick in. The melodic section is a little bit inspired by Malcolm Brown’s Rex Duodecim Angelus.

I snuck in some warping, pitch-bended bass notes like the original did. See if you can hear them at 1:09-1:15. Another little musical detail that I’m proud of is that I managed to re-use the sample from the guitar solo that plays on the opening Gas Station screen of the game.

The name is clearly a shout-out to Mother 2’s original subtitle: “Gyiyg Strikes Back!” It’s also a reference to Megalovania, the other boss song I made using EarthBound instrumentation for a ROM Hack I created during my junior year of High School.
