PSG.MOE #02: La Campanella

On April 1st, the second edition of PSG.MOE, a competition in which different chiptune composers try to release a PSG re-arrangement of a song that is not easily re-arranged on a 3 or 4 channel PSG alone. This time, they took a shot at re-arranging Franz Liszt's piano etude La Campanella. So far, Hackurl, DRM and Wiz have released their interpretations of the song into the competition.

In the previous edition, 4 different versions of the song 'Soul on Desert', as featured in the SEGA game Sega Rally 2 were released.

DRM's mp3 keeps giving me 503s. Even using the link from his website
( from here )

In my opinion, I don't like how Hackurl's begins (first 9 seconds). The grooviness works surprisingly well. It's quite brilliant.

Wiz's is a much closer rendition. Play it simultaneously with or right after a midi of the original. You will appreciate it more.
The changes in volume and such which simulate the piano are a bit too strong. The beginning (first 6 seconds) is lovely!

I am really glad PSG.MOE is continuing, and I'm even more glad that they're not doing just game-music! More classical stuff like this is awesome.

The DRM version works just fine here. (Who said music + DRM == evil? ^_^). I particularly like the Hackurl version though, as he managed to make something heavily chiptune out of a classical tune. Could be used in a great game without any further adaptation.

I also like Hackurl's song very much! It sounds very original and fresh and the sound effects are quite cool. The other songs are also great, but I found this one particularly good Smile
