The publishers of Titanium Court just uploaded an OST video that has almost every track in the full game, including music tracks for almost every cutscene not in the demo, and every single boss fight.

I’m so livid.

I used to compose music for video games.
This was back in the days of 8-bit game consoles like the MSX and Nintendo’s Family Computer.
The sound chips (PSG) of those game consoles were limited to three square waves plus noise, which severely restricted the ability to play music.

While the basic approach was to create music using three square waves, it was difficult to visualize the music with just square waves. Sometimes, I would expand on the musical ideas using the free timbres of a synthesizer, and then rearrange the recorded tapes for game consoles.

I’ve lost many of those tapes, but I’ve unearthed the remaining ones and uploaded them to YouTube.
These aren’t arrangements of game music, but rather source material, sketches of my compositional process.
They’re based on three voices, created with the intention of being implemented on a PSG, and the quality as a recording is secondary. Please understand.
