Cody Uhler, Fairy Tech
posted May 7, 2021 #
Uhler is a name that you may be familiar with if you have followed this site for some amount of time. He's half of the band Kindercastle, he previously released music under the name Nahnee Bori (whom has several stellar albums) and he is part of Upright T-Rex Music, who just so happen to write all the music for the DOTS games.
Darbo's Island is a record inspired by SNES videogame soundtracks. Uhler spent a long time learning about the restrictions of creating music for those 16-bit games; very low sample rates, only so many tracks playing at once, etc. It's unbelievable how fantastic that era of music was given how little there was to work with.
Ultimately, Darbo's Island does not play by the same rules as a 16-bit game but it does build on those foundations. It's nostalgic but it's been modernized in a big way. Give "Fairy Tech" a listen and stay clued in for future updates; we've got a lot of fantastic work to go along with this in the coming weeks.
