Party With the Pixelated Prince of Darkness
Singing Mountain, A VGM Podcast
And here, in the spirit of the season, is the second of the two “lost” Patreon episodes. Unfortunately, while I was able to find the file, I was not able to find the description or tracklist, so this one will have to be a bit of a mystery. I can tell you this much: It is definitely a Halloween episode. It is two and a half hours long. And I think it’s all scary, Halloween-appropriate music from 16-bit titles. It’s “all music, no talk,” and it may be a “best of” of all the Halloween episodes I ever did on this podcast. Of course, I really can’t be sure. What do you make of it?...

The Pixelated Pumpkin of Doom
Singing Mountain, A VGM Podcast
Way back in the distant past, there existed a Singing Mountain Patreon, where I managed to toss up four Patreon-exclusive tracks. Then, I closed the Patreon, thinking the content would still be accessible. It wasn’! Horror of horrors! However, as time passed, I realized that I’d actually downloaded these episodes onto my desktop computer, and could still share them on the Singing Mountain account. And I did that! Specifically for two of them. But the other two were Halloween-themed episodes, and it just didn’t make much sense to me to drop them in a month that wasn’t October. But guess...

Winter VGM: Grand Finale
Singing Mountain, A VGM Podcast
I know I said in the previous episode that there would not be another Singing Mountain winter VGM episode. I lied. This episode — a two-hour, ”all music, no talk” collection of 16-bit winter VGM — originally went live December 21, 2020 on the Singing Mountain Patreon. It has not been available since I took down the Patreon page, but now it’s posted for the public to enjoy. Now *this* is the finale installment of the winter VGM series. As a thank you for everyone who has continued to support Singing Mountain in 2020, despite its lengthy hiatus, here is a special holiday gift: a...

My Save Point Is a Hot Shower
Singing Mountain, A VGM Podcast
Given that Christmas is upon us, you might be expecting a 2021 edition of Singing Mountain’s ice music episode. Unfortunately, it turns out I used all the tracks I collected in last year’s winter episode and so I decided to lean in a different direction. This is the third in a different series I’ve been calling Save Point — all atmospheric, calming music that to me makes me think of a safe place to be, in video games but also IRL, because this one is inspired by taking a shower on a cold winter day. Save Point, previously: Ice level music, previously: Track listing: 3:03...

The Final 16-Bit Halloween
Singing Mountain, A VGM Podcast
Here it is: my last effort at celebrating the spooky season with VGM. I don’t have much to say other than that that this is a mix of new stuff and stuff I’ve played on previous episodes.

Cruise Into Sunset
Singing Mountain, A VGM Podcast
Some of you bemoaned the loss of the Singing Mountain Patreon because it also meant the loss of the ”all music, no talk” versions of episodes that I sometimes posted there. Never fear: the files have been recovered, and I will be posting them on the main feed. First up, the ”all music, no talk” version of , “The End... as a Beginning.” Track listing: 0:00 Donkey Kong Rescued (Credits Roll) / Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy’s Kong-Quest (Super NES) / David Wise 2:57 Credit Roll / Space Harrier II (Genesis) / Tokuhiko Uwabo and Matt Furniss 7:12 End Title / Tenshi no Uta: Shiroki...

Sunset on a Mountain
Singing Mountain, A VGM Podcast
The good news: Singing Mountain is back. The bad news: It’s only coming back for a few more episodes before ending. Due to reasons I explain in the episode, I’ve decided to end this podcast. However, before I do that, I’ll be clearing out the odds and ends that are remaining in the shambles of the planning doc I’ve been making episodes from all this time. First up: a grab bag episode. Track listing: 0:19 Caverns / Risky Woods (Amiga) / José Antonio Martin Tello 6:06 Until the End of the Earth / Elemental Master (Sega Genesis) / Toshiharu Yamanishi 10:11 End of the Modern Century...

The Forest of Remarkable Chill
Singing Mountain, A VGM Podcast
This is an experiment. What you have here is ninety minutes of 16-bit forest music, drawn from all four forest episodes of Singing Mountain, only slowed down, pitched down, muted and muffled in various ways and played over the sound of some royalty-free rain noise I found on YouTube. I initially made this for Patreon, and a few people noted how much they liked it, so I thought I’d put it on the main feed in case any of you needed some extra tranquility in your life. This is a slightly different mix tham what went initially. Do what you will with it. Track listing: 0:11 Elven Town ~...

Pixelated Light Shining Through Pixelated Trees
Singing Mountain, A VGM Podcast
I’m going back to my roots, and no, that is not a pun about trees. I decided to revisit the “relaxing forest music” theme that I first did back in the fifth episode of this show. If you’re into it, there’s also an ”all music, no talk’ version of this episode , with some rain effects tossed in. You tell me if it works or not. Track listing: 0:13 Great Forest of Moore / Final Fantasy V (Super Famicom) / Nobuo Uematsu 3:05 Forest Stage / Disney’s Beauty and the Beast (Super NES) / Jeroen Tel, Nick Stroud and Alan Menken 5:45 The Maze-Like Forest / Traverse: Starlight and...
