Live version of the first track I ever wrote for Nintendo via midiNES. I have to give huge major props to Kyle in Anacortes for recording this show. This is literally the first time I had ever played the Nintendo outside of my basement, only about a day or two after finally modifying the NES for 1/4″ output. The mixer at open mic at Johnny Picasso’s (great times!) luckily had some reverb built in so we get a bit of the cave effect.
Second half is an homage to Smile Transylvania / Super Metroid / Jeremy / Bill / Freddy because those guys turned me on to that riff, and I always love watching them play their version and their subsequent songs inspired by said riff.

100% Nintendo Entertainment System – 1980’s model NES running MidiNes.
Thank you Dj Dag-Nab-It for the Nintendo to experiment on and modify. This was the first live jam I made using the NES as the sole sound source. Hooked up to the MPC sequencer, it’s one of my favorite synths to work with.
This track was recorded live…actually the first time I ever brought the nintendo out for a gig. A friend of mine, Kyle, ran the open mic at Johnny Picasso’s in Anacortes, and to him I say Thank You for making this recording. I also have to give him much props for dealing with my unpredictable setup, hot signals, and requests for more and more reverb.
