Hi to the NG community, rtnario here with some unfortunate news...
Straight to the point, vacation's gonna be over for me soon and school's gonna start again. That means I'm not gonna be able to compose much or any songs at all for the audio portal. I'm mentioning this because the NG audio community has helped me improve my works and spot my mistakes. I really love it around here :D
For people who haven't heard any of my works, I'm listing down the five works of mine that wouldn't be possible if not for the reception here:
1. Trump Card Alteisen
2. Last Showdown
3. Spark Mandrill - Short Circuit
4. Boss Battle!
5. Cave Story War
If you've noticed, these are all the same genre of music. It's the thing that I always refer to as "my style", or in other words but not exactly, "video game with power metal influences". These are the types of songs that seem to have been liked the most by the NG community. Feel free to use in anything, but proper credit is mandatory and a PM to me is much appreciated.
Now I'm gonna be busy with things such as homework, projects and quizzes yet again. But that alone isn't the reason why I'm not gonna be able to create songs. Those 5 songs are made with the same setups, with some altered instrument choices. I listen to them and tell myself, "They sound perfect," but in reality, they have many imperfections and differences compared to the kind of sounds and quality I'm trying to achieve. That is currently what I'm working on.
Until then, I recommend listening to these people:
1. MashedByMachines (Alexander Hentschel)
- Fellow Machinae Supremacy fan, one of the biggest reasons why I started submitting works to the audio portal, and also helped me very much in making my works sound like how they sound today. SID-techno-rock-metal-something genre, can't say for sure but it's awesome so just go listen to Mirrorworld already.
2. Stage 3-1 (Weston Sagle and Co.)
- Video game metal band, which has the quality I want to achieve, and also the music people would love if you like mine. YS II or J-UP Castle, up to you, both are beautiful.
3. UltimaTricksta (Jeremiah George)
- Orchestral styles added into fast beats and whatnot. Very epic music. Siege Of The Spiritual Demons plx.
4. MusicWizard
- If you want the most expert and loyal-to-the-original sounding video game remixes ever (and of cours some of them are remixed into different genres), look no further than this guy. Try his Castlevania SOTN remixes.
That's about it really. If you're a random user who just read all this for some reason, dunno with you thanks for reading? xD If you're the small group of 10 who seem to follow my works, thanks for everything. When (not If, I'll always be here to reply to reviews ^^') I come back with a new submission, I hope you enjoy it as much as my other works.
Until I submit again.

You know, it sounds so weird to be called by your actual first name from people I started knowing only over the internet, Alex. (see what I did there. xD)
You're welcome!
