Greetings! Long time no see, everybody. I've been really busy as of late, but I was recently able to fit in a little time for MPCing. Rejoice! This is a fun piece I've been wanting to complete for a while due to the cool and yet ridiculous nature of the bass pitches. Also, the song itself has a weird, creepy-crawly, alien-like feel to it that I really like. It's the theme that plays when the Shadow Beasts appear in-game.

Making this was actually a lot easier than you might think. The bass notes are divided up per ear in the original song, so you only have to listen one ear at a time to receive half the notes (slowing down the tempo helped a ton, however lol). On top of that, the song is pretty mathematical; each bass note is a 32nd note rather than being random, and virtually each Game Boy slide occurs on a quarter note beat, off by a margin of either a 32nd or 16th note. The bass notes repeat in sequence after every 4 files as well. For the strings of piranha plants/planes (which followed less of a pattern) I almost included dogs and even baby faces too, but the overall sounds would have been too choppy and harsher than that of the OST, which has this sound as really smooth. It's not completely smooth here, but it's the best I could do haha.

Also, RehdBlob kindly recorded this for me. Please view his fantastic channel here!:

Nothing else to say, really. I'm making more MPCs as well, so I'm hoping to finish another one or two soon. Enjoy!
