Original cartoon soundtrack RECREATION in progress [Archive]

Powder

03-31-2010, 05:37 AM

As some members know I've been working on recreating as much of the OT score as time permits. These tracks were made in Fruityloops using custom & modified sounds from several keyboards I own aswell as drum machines etc. For the most part I'm doing these from memory but I've used the cartoon for a referance or two here & there. This link will bring you to a folder with 7 songs, they're the only ones I've done so far. They're also probably the most notable (familiar) songs from the early days so I'm sure fans will enjoy. I know many will think "This isnt worth downloading, its probably very amatuer" but I ask that you judge after you hear them. Obviously in this day & age the kits/keys wont be so 80's orcheesey & maybe to some it'll lose substance for that, but really its just the same but with 'real' sounding instruments. Well I'll do more as time goes on, & update with new links every couple of songs. If anyone would care to suggest a certain song, or provide me with a video clip/audio sample to help further this project, please do so!

Enjoy! :tsmile:

EDIT:

Well guys, I've decided to pick this back up again.

http://i49.tinypic.com/o7tv2h.png

Here you can download what we've got so far, which includes the original songs (fixed and remastered) as well as 2 new ones!
http://powderakacaseyjones.bandcamp.com/album/teenage-mutant-ninja-turtles-1987-reorchestrated-soundtrack

& I need a favor from those of you who are willing to help and want to see this project continue. In order to recreate these songs, I need audio references. If you can provide clips, taken from the DVD's for me to learn & recreate by ear, I would really appreciate it. Or, you could simply provide youtube links to videos that feature some portions of the music (This is for American users only, as most of the clips everyone can see internationally are for one reason or another region blocked here- I wouldn't want you guys to go to the effort for nothing.).

So I hope everyone enjoys what I've done so far! Thanks for checking it out.

Note: The technodrome theme is the same one available for download at the technodrome mainpage but remastered with added sounds.

EDIT: New Cover-

Hopefully you can get instruments that sound like the original instruments, that's the only gripe I have with these. The next song you should add is the battle theme that is prominent in Season 4. (Don't know about other seasons, I've only been watching through this one so far)

Feel free! The more fans who get to hear them, the better. Maybe with enough word spread it could spark an interest with those who hold the originals.

Some sound more real then others, that being due to a program called Edirol which has real symphonic instrument soundfonts. Others sounding more synthetic are built into the program. Bear in mind the original show didn't use real instruments though, simply a keyboard. The only 'real' instruments were the guitars in the last 3 'red sky' seasons. I'll watch some of season four soon to see the song (though I think I know the one you're referring to).

Loved em, can't wait for more. I'd make a request, but they never had titles lol

Titles are irrelevant, if you could tell me a specific episode or scene, or even find a clip on youtube of a part that would feature a section you like, then it can be done!

Thanks everyone, I'll keep ya updated!

My favorite tune starts off the episode "Catwoman From Channel 6", I think.

03-31-2010, 10:13 PM

You've done a great job, Powder! My favorite ones are the "Splinter Explains" and "A Positive Plot" (mostly for tuba sound). I do think it would be great to take your musical cues and try to adapt it to the proper instruments. Keep up the amazing work!

There is some song that is a version of the theme song that is played in NAME THAT TOON and KRANGENSTEIN LIVES and I am not sure if it is played in any other episodes but I think you will know what I mean when you watch those 2 episodes again.

Nice job on those! I'm looking forward to hearing more of them.

These are amazing! I love that they have titles too. How long does it take to make these? I should start making some too to help out.

My favourite music was only played 4 or 5 times ever and only in the first two seasons. In episode 2, while looking for the technodrome, while going through the pipes in the sewer where Raphael falls thru one and says "they don't pay me enough to take this kind of abuse." The music playing in the background of that scene is my absolute favourite!

TheUltimateShredhead

Great job dude! Listening to them now, looking strongly forward to more.

Hey powder,

I'd love to hear some of these songs I heard on the old show :

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dCOHLiIYwJU&feature=related

(the part where shredder and the gang are in the hotel room) at 1:00

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Vm7NBqEx3f0
Splinters theme song
(The part where splinter greets zach) at 3:00

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NfSGfnUSues
this songs used for irma a lot
(the part where irma is crying her eyes out at the begining of the epiosde

Good to hear that everyone is digging these 'cover instrumentals'. While OT is what got me into TMNT in the first place, it's not very high on my list of priorities. So, I'll get around to checking these out one of these years. I hope they can live up to their reputation. ^_^

Powder

04-02-2010, 11:24 PM

Great job! I like how you interpreted the background music.
My three favorites are:
Irma needs a date
Approaching danger
Home sweet sewer

Inside the technodrome gets an honorable mention too.

This sounds cool, but for some reason I'm having trouble downloading from MegaUpload tonight, if this could be uploaded elsewhere I'd be eternally grateful. :twink:

EDIT: Nevermind, I got it.

Robatello

04-03-2010, 06:07 AM

Hi again powder,

Sorry about that! youtube is such a pain sometimes
Try this mate! I have uploaded the 3 tracks in one .wav file!

http://www.megaupload.com/?d=CW7WQY7F

Hope you can do it because with a man of your talent!
Its just possible :tgrin:

Again great work with the other tracks I absolutly love them! :tgrin:

Desslok

04-03-2010, 03:03 PM

Powder, this stuff is GREAT! :tgrin:

I agree with everyone else who enjoyed "Approaching Danger," I've always thought that was one of Shredder's better themes.

As for requests, I'd like to see Krang's theme done, you hear quite a bit of it in "Enter the Shredder" when Krang is introduced. You also get a really good listen to the very first part of that music at the end of season 3's premiere "Beneath these Streets" at the end of the episode when Krang confronts Shredder on his most recent failure.

I'll try to think of some more, but until then keep up the radical work, dude! :twink:

Wow! These are exactly what I've been looking for! Powder, how would you feel about me using your work in a TMNT mod I'm working on? If you could do some extended versions of some of those songs, they'd make great music for the missions, and I've been trying to find something just like this!

Powder

12-24-2010, 03:38 AM

I figured I'd give this a bump as some people have been asking about the OT soundtrack lately. Plus, if anyone shows interest it'll be an incentive for me to get back to work on this project. Should such be the case, I'll ask again for y'all to give me suggestions. Post clips of the songs you'd like to see done and all.

I never saw you ask this, my apologies.
You and anyone else are more than welcome to use this music in videos, games, whatever.
Just as long as I'm given some sort of credit, it's totally cool.

Dude, I love your work on this! It's been a while since I've listened to your stuff so I've forgotten what you have and haven't done. I always liked the Channel 6 News theme (the one that also played in the opening of Turtles in Time Statue of Liberty Heist).

It's pretty much the same sound used whenever you fight Krang's Android in the NES video games.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=siZSM9tfsgU

Off the top of my head, it plays in "Mean Machines" the first time we see Krang sitting in the Technodrome.

It's tough to find TMNT cartoon clips on Youtube since Lionsgate has really been shutting all that down.

Oh, that one! I meant to do that one from the start. I'll get on it as soon as time permits.

& yeah, Lionsgate has been quite difficult. It's stupid, really.
If I wanted to buy the DVD's as a casual fan, I'd want to re-familiarize myself via YT clips.

So true! Who doesn't benefit from free promotion?

Another tune I'd like you to replicate is the ominous theme that sorta reminds me of Hitchcock's Psycho. It plays in "The Cat Woman from Channel Six" when the mutated April corners Splinter in the sewer. I included a few clips from that part in one of my TMNT: Gone Wrong! parody episodes:

Ninja Turtles 25 Years

02-13-2011, 07:56 PM

Hey! You guys gave me a new idea. When I get back to my Ninja Turtles 25 Years website project, I will add an Audio section to each Ninja Turtle media format. But it will be playable on the site, but I don't know how to make a download through Webs' SiteBuilder features. Of course I will put my top favorite 1987 clips first in order as I liked them:

1. "Return Of The Technodrome" - Shredder/Splinter fight on the catwalk
2. "Teenagers From Dimension X" - Cyber Punks
3. "The Big Zipp Attack" - Dude dancing to his radio on the sidewalk
4. 1994 - 1996 Closing and Opening theme.
5. Some of the action scenes during the 1993 season. Not the Europe ones

I'll try to get the versions of all the soundtracks that I find, but with the least voice acting and sound effects.

Oh I nearly forgot a few more favorites of mine.

1. "Return Of The Shredder" - April's Theme or Channel 6 Theme
2. "Blast From The Past" Japanese History
3. "Attack Of The Big MACC" - Luxurating

did my own little modifications to technodrome and channel 6 for a slightly closer sound.

In the drome noise, there is no loud symbol like clash in the middle so I took that out, as well as the staticy thump in the beginning and middle

Looks to me like you took out a lot more than just that.

For the Channel 6 one, I modified the tempo of it and the pitch so it more closely matched the one heard during Burnes Blues press/trunk scene.

02-14-2011, 09:07 AM

Excellent work with the recreated tracks, Powder. Have you tried your hand at some of these:

these first two opening songs from the series have a real groovy atmosphere to them, I'd love to hear them in full.
And the faster tempo, more synthy reprise of "Home Sweet Home" @ 1:40 tops my most wanted list as well.

Powder

11-25-2011, 04:24 PM

Just now saw your site Powder, and your recreation of the music is very good! I hope you can continue this project! Like many old skool TMNT fans, I wish the original soundtrack would have been released!

Powder

02-14-2014, 03:55 AM

Very kind of you (and everyone else) to say! :tgrin:

The answer is yes & no, really. I've not forgotten about this project, but this last year or so have been such a mess... I've not had too much time to dedicate to passion projects. I have a lot of responsibilities as an artist & musician, so the projects that pay have to be my top priority. I'd really like to make more progress on this, & I'm sure some day I will, but for now I can't say when that's going to be. I more or less felt that way last time and yet one day suddenly I was inspired to whip up 2 or 3 more within a weeks time. So it could be a year from now, or it could be next month. Who knows, maybe interest drummed up by your bump will drive me to do something. Sorry to be vague, but that's the truth of the matter. :tsad: At any rate, I'm glad that people are still discovering and enjoying this. Hopefully the real soundtrack will come along at some point too!

Lisardo

03-27-2014, 08:43 PM

With the turtles becoming more popular again in general (2k12 show, new movie) I'm hoping the soundtrack will eventually be released. Btw, I like how you named the pieces. It'd be awesome if you could remake this theme, which I call "Struggle" (at 18:10): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eShxKiQ9-6U&feature=player_detailpage#t=1090

Powder

03-27-2014, 08:57 PM

Mmm, that is a pretty recognizable theme. It'll be next on my list if/when I get back around to this.

Powder

05-23-2014, 11:22 AM

Just thought I'd give this a bump for those who haven't heard it yet & may want to.

& also I'm gonna try to bring this project back really soon. The 30th anniversary warrants it!

In addition to this, I'm starting a TMNT-themed hip-hop project. :tcool:

This is pretty great Powder. Approaching danger and Sewer Sweet Sewer were always faves of mine.
I also got a request, could you try doing the Bebop and Rocksteady theme?
The one with the baritone sax I believe.

Wanted to give this a bump as I've completed a new song today, as well as made a new cover for the project.

Track 10 "Evil's Ultimatum" is the latest release, hope you like it.

The fresh album art:

I'm hoping to do another one or two tracks soon!

I'm very happy to see that you're still working on this awesome project!
I love the new track. Thank you for sharing it with us.

BTW... it may sound weird but I confess that I sometimes listen to these tracks on loop while taking a shower.

I really like the album art. Did you make it? Am I right to assume that it's new artwork based on a specific screenshot of the old show?
And you may already be aware of this, but Donatello's headband "tails" are see-through in the picture.

I'm glad you enjoy them!

I put the art together, but I didn't draw it. The turtles on the Toon Cycle was its own piece of obscure promotional art that I cut & pasted onto an original hand-painted background from the OT. I did various Photoshop sorta things to neaten them up, color fixes & smoothing out details, etc. but putting the two together & adding text was about all there was to it. :trazz:

I did not notice that error with Donnie's bandana, thanks for pointing that out. I forgot to erase the background from behind him right there. :tlol:

It was great piece of art, though as a kid I thought playing totem pole on a motorcycle was a very dangerous idea of fun!

Gee, I really hope there are reorchestrations of the background music for the Red Sky seasons. I always liked the themes in there.

I know I had seen that picture before! I had a couple of the trading cards that formed that picture, back in the day. Thanks for sharing!

I would love to hear recreated versions of the tunes at these timecodes:

Tune 1 (1:24-3:16)

Tune 2 (11:06-11:48 )

I would also love to hear two tunes from the episode Wrath of the Rat King recreated:

Tune 1 (9:10-10:34)

Tune 2 (21:08-21:45)

Added a new track, #11- "The Hustle" https://powderakacaseyjones.bandcamp.com/album/teenage-mutant-ninja-turtles-1987-reorchestrated-soundtrack

Revised the cover art a few posts back, too.

@TheUltimateBum sorry but I won't be doing any themes from the red sky era. While I am fond of those seasons & their musical cues, they're not nearly as iconic, & they're a lot harder to replicate.

These are amazing. You should do the fight theme!

Ha! "The Hustle."

I've always loved that particular bit of music, beautifully done, Powder! :tthumbsu:

Roland did release Software version of Roland D50 synth via their Roland Cloud. Synth was used for soundtrack creation of 87 series. They have a trial too, so you don't need to spend thousands of dollars for hardware. I did check it and tested "Sweep loop on C" preset which was used for Technodrome theme. It sounds really close, but probably was modified a little for original soundtrack. I'm not a pro musician by any means, but probably OP could use this info.
