What makes this sound haunted? – Musician Analyzes Lavender Town
13Excuse the cut in note names, I did most of this stream with a transposer on my piano and did not realize it until later that stream.
Case listens to and analyzes the theme of Lavender Town from Pokemon Red and Blue!
Every day I post a video of me listening to video game music and analyzing it from a composing and music theory perspective. I take submissions and take suggestions for music to analyze on my stream!
Recorded live on twitch.

Pokémon Red Version and Pokémon Blue Version are 1996 role-playing video games developed by Game Freak and published by Nintendo for the Game Boy. They are the first installments of the Pokémon video game series. They were first released in Japan in 1996 as Pocket Monsters Red[a] and Pocket Monsters Green, with the special edition Pocket Monsters Blue being released in Japan later that same year. The games were later released as Pokémon Red and Pokémon Blue in North America and Australia in 1998 and Europe in 1999. Pokémon Red and Pokémon Blue combined Red/Green/Blue for release outside of Japan.
The music was composed by Junichi Masuda at his home on a Commodore Amiga computer, which only features PCM sample playback and converted to the Game Boy with a program he had written. Masuda utilized the four sound channels of the Game Boy to create both the melodies and the sound effects and Pokémon "cries" heard upon encountering them. He noted the game's opening theme, titled "Monster", was produced with the image of battle scenes in mind, using white noise to sound like marching music and imitate a snare drum.
