Back in 2015 my buddy Carl Doonan asked me to write him some music for his demo reel. He hummed a little tune and sent it to me, and I wrote a bouncy Kirby-styled song around it. I even incorporated his humming into the final track.

I wasn’t familiar with FamiTracker, so I wrote the tune in LSDJ, then added the DPCM drums in post. A trained ear can tell the difference between the NES and Game Boy’s channels, but my ears sure couldn’t.
