What is Mellotroid?
Mellotroid is a personal project where I will be recreating the music from the game Metroid for the Nintendo Entertainment System done in the style and sound of early Genesis (the band, not the game system).
What does Mellotroid mean?
Mellotron One of the key components in Genesis' early sound was Tony Banks use of the Mellotron keyboard which used samples of instruments (like strings and choirs) on actual tape! I will be using GMEDIA Music's M-Tron VST plug-in as one of the driving forces behind this project. Thus I decided to combine the two words and came up with Mellotroid.
Which songs from Metroid will you be recreating?
I plan to recreate them all.
Will there be lyrics/vocals?
No, I don't plan to have any vocals but I'm sure there will be some flute parts for Peter to play ;-)
So, have you done anything yet?
2003.09.28 - Yes, I finally found some time to put some real work into the theme of the game. This is an unfinished version and a rough mix, but it should give you an idea of what I'm going for: Take a listen!
