Hello SMS Power!

I have tried my best to provide a quality tune. I present to you The Dancing Bat. This is a musical remix to the tune found in the fourth stage of the Master System game Quartet. I'm sure that you will find the melody to be familiar. Here is a description of the tune that I have written and the song is attached in mp3 format.

"Among the many games that I loved to play growing up was Quartet. The game presented a great challenge but did so with spot-on game play and awesome music. My favorite tune from the game is from the fourth stage. I loved it for many reasons. One of the most memorable reasons was that the bat-like enemies that seem to dance to the music as the quickly dash towards you. These bat-like enemies were difficult to evade and made the level a difficult one to complete.

In this remix, I slowed down the tempo, added numerous solos and transitions, and even incorporated the stage cleared tune for the ending. The instruments featured include electric bass, saw synth (three different types), trumpet, piano, drum-set, organ, and a few sound effects. I considered adding my clarinet to this piece but I ultimately decided that it would not fit in quite right. My biggest complaint is that the sound feels slightly empty. I wanted the sound to feel natural so I think that it has a lot to do with that."

I hope that this finds you well. I just finished it in the last hour. It is complete but later I may wish to improve it. I am so excited to be part of this competition!
