I'm glad you guys listened to it. I've always been really perplexed by the sounds in these games. Nintendo R&D 1 made their own soundbanks for WL4 to "show off" the GBA's sound chip, and the sounds they made all have this kind of weird kitch style that's really unique, kind of like the default sounds on a keyboard. The unlockable records are amazing, I love the idea of making field recordings and sound scapes out of sounds like that. Then in WW they used these sounds to create the microgame songs, each of which has this rushed almost natural quality to it. This kind of "intentionally generic" style is something that fascinates me.
What I really want to do is make songs that sound like they could be unlockable records in WL4. I don't have much experience with any DAW, so in making this album the samples warped into the kind of ambient sound you hear with it. I'm gonna keep practicing and working with these samples though. Does anyone know where I can find audio rips of the games? Some of the ones I have are a little fuzzy or distorted.
