OCTOROCK: Instrumental Video Game Music
Stuff that Octorock Likes
- Tetris!!!!!!!! The A theme, the B theme, and all variations.
- Just about any first-party Nintendo game from the 90s.
- Real video game symphonies like Play! or Dear Friends.
- Ok, we like the Black Mages too.
- Tristan's impersonations of the whole band.
- When Tom's keyboard decides on the wrong instrument patch.
- Rushing, then claiming that there's no way the SNES could have played it at the right tempo. Blarned methodical chiptunes!
- All of our fans at Brown.
- It's the perfect octave! (Tristan then blows an augmented octave on slide whistle)
Stuff that Octorock Dislikes (loosely)
- Making Sunday rehearsal on time, apparently.
- The bass drum pedal.
- One-Winged Angel, I mean that's just silly.
- E sharps.
- Also the lack of a good open source composition program.
- Math jokes.
- I was just kidding.
- Subjecting infants to overly synthesized music.
- Role playing "games". We prefer to call it: Friday through Sunday.
