Mega Flare is a DJ, producer and chiptune musician, and Maverick<\/a> is his first release with GameChops. It\u2019s an EP of chipmusic inspired by the soundtrack of the Mega Man X series for SNES. This album was written on the music tracker software LSDj (\u00a0littlesounddj.com<\/a>\u00a0) and recorded on a single Nintendo Gameboy,model DMG-01. Maverick<\/a> is considered a \u201cde-make\u201d of the 16-bit soundtrack for Mega Man X; Each track was re-written on the 4-bit soundchip of the Nintendo Gameboy.<\/p>\n

The results are crystal clear, expressive chiptunes that would have been worthy of any hand-held adventure. Download Mega Flare – Maverick from Bandcamp<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\nMaverick is a chaser ride back to my childhood when I would play Mega Man X with my big bro. Tracking these songs brought back some of the feelings of wonder and dread from the MMX series. It was a challenge working complex 16-bit melodies into one LSDj cart but I some how pulled it off. My hope was to pay homage to the composers who inspired me.<\/em><\/p>\n
