Now, everyone knows I'm a tracker at heart. I don't buy the fancy keyboards, and I don't go all out with having a ridiculous library of expensive gigasamples. However, once in a long while, I'll buy a sample CD, just for kicks. One day, while cruising around Ilio, I came across a sampleset entitled "Keys to the City." The audio samples were pretty damn cool, the quality stood out from the other samples I had, and I'd been itching to get some new sounds, so I bought the thing. Sadly, I was very disappointed when I finally got it. The clips in WAV format sounded exactly like the audio samples, like, already completely sequenced. There was very little I could actually use, apart from chopping up and re-looping all the sounds myself.
But, it'd be a waste of money not to use them, so I went ahead and chopped up the ones I liked. Then I used them in this remix, giving it a new age kinda electronic jazz fusion sound. I also mingled in some scat vocals from my friend Amanda, a little bit of my own voice, a touch of Virgill percussion, and here it is.

Une bande originale digne de Conan (pour ne citer que l'une des plus fameuses dans le genre), c'est dire si la qualité est au rendez-vous. Il ne me reste plus qu'à écouter la troisième symphonie de John Corigliano... J'en frémis d'avance. Poesy Rider
The soundtrack to indie game “Cottage Quest” is a marvel of pointillist synths and chiptune influence—charming and catchy all at once. Bandcamp New & Notable Aug 6, 2023
