Cavalcadence plays Aria 17: Chipzel remix! (All Zones Mode: AMPLIFIED)
For anybody who's interested in custom Cadences (or other characters), the official NecroDancer FAQ has some info about creating custom characters, and even has a link to the pinned thread on the official forums, where people have posted some of their custom creations:

So... this is actually something I'd been meaning to try ever since the Chipzel soundtrack arrived on Steam. I was pretty sure the Chipzel remixes would work well with Aria... and sure enough, it looks like they do. =)
I'll probably stick with A_Rival for Aria (and keep using Chipzel for Nocturna), but I really wanted to play through Aria with Chipzel at least once, so... now I have. =)
Interestingly, this was (IMO) a really nice seed for Aria. Shield Spell, Glass Armor, Glass Shovel, Torch, and Backpack... all on the very first floor! And by the end of the first zone, Winged Boots, a 3-damage attack, and a Ring of Peace!
Of course, I did make some mistakes along the way... and ended up losing not one but two Potions. ^^; The first was a bit of a calculated risk that arguably ended up paying off (lost Potion, but gained Glass Armor and Glass Shovel!). The second, though... was a bit of a loss of concentration (there was something going on outside that I really should've just ignored), and embarrassingly, almost resulted in my first ever "died after defeating the Lute while on the way to the stairs" Aria loss. Almost. ^^;
Instead, I ended up with my first ever Chipzel Aria All Zones Mode win! =) So here it is... hope you enjoy!
Some notes and possible points of interest:
0:07 5-1
1:07 Shield Spell! =)
1:50 Backpack & Torch
2:04 Mb: Minotaur. Oh, maybe I can get him to open up that hidden shop! ^_^
2:54 Glass Armor & Glass Shovel! Nice. =) Hopefully I didn't use up too much time getting in here, though... ^^;
3:06 Potion quaffed! Song Ended! Next Level. =/
3:06 5-2

3:44 Torch of Strength! =) ...need more gold for the boots, though. ^^;
3:58 Mb: Red Dragon
4:08 Leprechaun & Lucky Charm!
4:25 Winged Boots! =)
5:23 5-3
6:19 Shovel of Strength! Less powerful dig, but a 3-damage dagger is pretty tempting too, so... =)
6:47 Mb: Green Metrognome
7:07 3-damage dagger. =)
7:32 Z5B: King Conga 5 (Aria version)
8:19 Flawless! Reward: Ring of Peace! =)

11:21 4-3
11:59 Mb: Nightmare
13:14 Z4B: Coral Riff 4 (Aria version)
13:47 Shield! Whoops, that's not the Pulse spell! ^^;
13:50 Pulse! Flawless! Reward: Ring of Charisma (nt)
14:03 3-1
14:32 Mb: Banshee
15:16 Shield Scroll! Shield Spell, Tome, and now Scroll? The game really wants me to have Shield magic, I guess. ^^;

15:40 Blast Helm (temporarily, for the +3 bombs)
16:23 Mb: Nightmare
17:11 3-3
17:34 Map!

18:49 Flawless! Reward: Fireball Spell (nt)
18:58 2-1
19:41 Spiked Ears! Sure, why not? Heavy Glass will protect against 3 hits, so I probably won't need the Crown of Teleportation... ^^

25:36 Mb: Green Dragon
26:27 Ow (Heavy Glass -1). Careless mistake. =p
26:28 Zone 1 Boss: The Golden Lute
26:37 Explorers Boots & Glass Armor
26:47 Heavy Glass Armor. Hmm, I do have 4 sources of beat buffers, so technically I shouldn't need the bounce traps... and the extra hit before the armor shatters might end up being useful if I make any further careless mistakes, so... ^^;;
27:16 Oh right, I can't use the bounce traps! Umm, umm... what's the command for...
27:20 Confused! Heavy Glass Armor damaged!
27:21 Eep! Shield!
27:29 Whew! Made it!
27:31 Beat missed! Coin multiplier lost! Spiked Ears shattered! Quaffed Potion!
27:32 Ack! Lost my concentration for a moment! Umm, don't panic and just get to the stairs! ^^;;
27:33 Whew! ^^;;;
