Fanmade Monochromes

My first months on YouTube were spent creating music which I imaged could fit in the then-upcoming Pokémon games Black and White.

Composer's Comment

This was the first music I made publicly available. As such, it is not my proudest work. I had a tendency to just copy the melody lines onto more instruments until it didn't sound empty, adding in a ton of reverb as well. I also did not really think about making instruments sound realistic, leading to moments like wind instruments playing legato in the Route 1 theme (whoever played that melody would be dead from suffocation!).

The biggest tracks were made there and then, but some of the smaller tracks were basically revamped versions of music I had made for my own pleasure earlier. It was fun to bring new life to music which had previously just been laying around, but its quality was not as good. Even then, I still get a kick out of listening to these melodies. I won't say it is perfect, but it's not horrible either. Please enjoy!

Note that this was not released as an album back then.
