Night in the Forest

If you’re here, then you know what time it is: It’s time for the Halloween Mix 2025 – and this time you’re trapped in a scary (?) forest in Night in the Forest.

And while I’ll say right away that it’s not really scary, we got a lot of forest-related themes in this mix for sure:

Can’t forget the video, seems like Hina found a curious doll:

And that’s our Halloween mix, folks. If you’re wondering if I have some kind of schedule again, I’ll try and upload one song per month. So if things go as planned, I’ll have something ready by the end of November.

With that said: Happy Halloween!

He’s back – The Kremling Krew Returns

Some called him dead, but some were still holding onto hope. And just like K. Rool, I’m back with a new song to celebrate the king of the kremlings – The Kremling Krew Returns.

In truth, I didn’t really feel like working on music much these past few months. I did a little bit here and there, but nothing worth showing off. However, as the spooky time approaches, I felt an itching in my fingers – surely we’re gonna need something for Halloween, right? But better to see if I still got it first.

I just hope you didn’t expect me to improve by leaps and bounds in the meantime – although I did a little bit of research on what I can improve, in the end there is just one realization: no one makes music quite like me (for better or for worse), so I’ll just do what I do. Which is starting with a general idea and then go with the flow until something comes out that sounds good to me. And in this case, it sounds like this:

The song mainly contains Gangplank Galleon from Donkey Kong Country, but also a little bit of Crocodile Cacophony from Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy’s Kong Quest.

Maybe you want some visuals to go along with it – all done with FL Studio’s ZGameEditor Visualizer, which I’m growing quite fond of:

Now I just gotta get ready for Halloween…

Hunting the Ice Giant

So I was working on an ice-themed mix and was wondering if I should upload it as an X-Mas Mix, seeing as I didn’t really have anything else – but I couldn’t finish it in time, so that question essentially answered itself.

Either way, Hunting the Ice Giant fits the season (at least for those on the northern hemisphere) and should make a nice “end of the year” tune:

The song is a remix of Gammoth’s Theme from Monster Hunter Generations, with a little bit of Proof of a Hero – the series’ Main Theme – as the ending. I always felt there was a part in the theme that would perfectly lead over to Proof of a Hero, which was enough to make me try my hand at this song. And the fact that I played a lot of Monster Hunter this year, especially Generations Ultimate. Maybe that was the main reason…?

Moving on to the video – I started making videos directly in FL Studio, because it is much more convenient for me. The last Halloween Mix video was made the same way, and although it looks rather simple, I think it works well enough. But judge for yourself:

I guess that’s it for this year, let’s hope for a good 2025! At the very least I’m looking forward to Monster Hunter Wilds 😉
