Sheet Music/Midi Bests of Keygenjukebox

Selected songs from keygenjukebox collection.

Amiga art from amiga.lychesis.net

What is it?

The 1980s and 1990s saw the rise of cracktro culture - short presentations launched before a pirated copy of a program or game. These served as a kind of digital calling card for hacker groups.

Over time, even a small keygen, simply intended to generate a serial number, became a miniature work of art.

Keygenjukebox was a website/archive that collected music from keygens, cracks, game trainers, and stage productions.

In 2012, an archived version known as "Keygenjukebox Complete Collection" was also released, credited to various artists and containing songs from this genre.

Thought I would share my cover so far of Mr. MWD from Gran Turismo 4. This song has always tickled my brain just right and there are almost zero covers of it online. All done by ear and I’m decently proud of it since I’m mediocre at making music

Hello everyone I stumbled upon this super smash bros ultimate short and wanted to know the name of the music that plays in the background. It sounds like a remix of a game OST.

I tried Shazam but that didnt't work then I tried to simply find it on YouTube, hoping it's an in-game ost but found out in shock that the playlist had multiple videos over 2 hours long. I search for over an hour before giving up. Sorry if this seems lazy of me.

Request Looking for a piece of the Stalker Gamma Soundtrack

1 Upvotes

Hello fellow Stalkers,

maybe you guys are able to help me: I'm looking for a piece of the Soundtrack included in Gamma. It stands out to me by being very quiet and having some 'vocals' which sound not like singing but more like a very melancholic wailing after which the music picks up a bit more. I think I've heard it in the southern regions like Garbage, Cordon or the Swamp. I'd be absolutely grateful if anybody here is able to help me out.

Original Music I just released my new EP on tape, 電森 Electric Forest. Inspired by SNES game soundtracks (Secret of Mana, Donkey Kong Country, etc.) and made entirely with hardware synths released from 1988-1996!

OST How Benny Goodman, Luigi's Mansion, and 16 Tons shaped this Wild West goldmine track I wrote for Bang-on Balls: Chronicles

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

Writing music for video games, it’s sometimes fun to look back at the creative brief and the musical references that went into making a track what it is today.

I wrote this piece of music for a goldmine level in the video game, Bang-on Balls: Chronicles - a chaotic, fun 3D platformer (like a mix of Mario 64 and Crash Bandicoot) where you play as a bouncy ball character, BOB, exploring large, destructible, historically-themed open worlds (Vikings, Space Race, Wild West, etc.)

For the Wild West expansion of the game, I was brought back to write the bouncy, punchy tracks needed to bring this American West map of the game to life through music. In this goldmine level, we had a variety of musical references including the song 16 Tons by Tennessee Ernie Ford, Luigi’s Mansion, and Wild West saloon songs. I combined all of this into a jazzy, western-feeling, bouncy track that sometimes echoes like it’s playing through the caverns of a deep, sometimes spooky, goldmine.

This section was largely inspired by the drum break and instrumental build in the jazz standard Sing, Sing, Sing (with a Swing) by Benny Goodman’s Big Band with Gene Krupa playing that iconic tom line on the drums. Here, I’m using bending clarinets and trombone glissandi to underscore the spooky, queasy, but ultimately jazzy feel to this goldmine cavern level as we ride the roller coaster of the old-timey cart tracks throughout the cave.

Composing a video game track like this is a real blast. I hope that seeing some of the references that went into the brief for this track is a fun look into all the small creative choices that make up an indie game soundtrack!

I definitely had a lot of fun composing for this game!
