So on my internet radio station, I have top-of-the-hour station identifications, similar to actual broadcast radio stations here in the United States. Well I decided that I wanted to create the music for all of them myself, and that’s what this is. There’s two other tracks that were briefly used but they’re not in rotation anymore since I hated them.
These tracks are based upon:
: Generic 12-bar Blues in F (Casio CTK691)
2: The Bare Necessities (from The Jungle Book) (Casio CTK691) – This was the theme to my high school’s monthly news program
3: Commando (C64) High Score Theme (SGM V2.01 Soundfont) – One of my favorite video game compositions.4: Super Mario 64 Dire Dire Docks (Casio CTK691) – Another favorite game composition
4: KanawhaCountyWX Theme (Mario Kart DS soundfont + Roland TR707 and TR909 Drums) – what started off as a basic chord excercise when I first started learning piano, turned into the intro tune for my YouTube channel, turned into this
5: Derek & The Dominos – Layla (Yamaha Reface CP and SGM V2.01 Soundfont)
6: Lemmings Theme 1 (Casio CTK691) – This song appeared in many versions of the 1991 game Lemmings, including I believe on all home computer versions.
7: Old School Kinda Love (Roland MT32 Soundfont) – Based on a song I’m working on
8: Untitled F Minor Jingle (SGM V2.01 soundfont, Yamaha Reface CS, Mario Kart DS Soundfont, Melotron Soundfont) – I’m gonna do something with this chord progression some day. I went for a layered "wall of sound"approach with the chords, and I’d like to think that worked.
9: GWES ERN Stinger (Yamaha Reface CS, Yamaha YPG225) – A quick simple little stinger over which "A GWES EAS Relay Network Participating Station" is VO’d.
All parts, yes even the MIDI stuff, played by hand. Recorded and mixed using Audacity. Recorded from March 2024-March 2025.
