Hello and welcome to Ashane's Domain.
This website was first launched in 2003 to share my video game covers. The location and layout changed over the years until it vanished. Then in 2024 it was revived with Neocities.org.
Much of the content on this site like the song descriptions and links page are quite old, but it's constantly being updated. You can expect weekly updates on Sundays. Thank you for visiting and hope you enjoy :)
If you're familiar with RSS feeds, just copy and paste the above URL into your favorite reader for updates on new releases.
Hey everyone, today I'd like to share an unreleased demo I made in 2016 from FF7 of a song called "It's Hard to Stand on Both Feet!". Check it out in the covers section.
To ensure the best quality for future releases, I've been putting in extra effort to optimize my setup. But whether it's an old demo or a new cover, you can still expect new material every Sunday. :)
I've also added an RSS feed for those with readers. Thanks, Ashane
Hey pals, long time no see. I might have been gone, but it's good to be back. This is a very rough start with as much assets from my old websites that I could recover. It's text only for now, so it's not pretty but it works! All of my mp3s are also originals, but expect high quality remastered versions in future updates.
I'm blessed for the people in my life that have inspired me to continue. My new audio interface was given to me by my dear friend SnappleMan. My brother and I are working on music together again and I have lots of upcoming projects, so if you'd like to stay updated on my music, check Sundays for new posts!! Thanks, Ashane
Hey everyone. Been non-stop busy leading up to MAGFest preparing for DoD Live, submitting a DoD entry, and other RL stuff. The show was a bit stressful since we practiced together only once ever for about an hour and a half before playing live. Considering all the circumstances, I'm happy with how the show went. Thanks to everyone who came out to see us! This was kind of our beta test run. Next year will be a lot more solid since we'll have an actual keyboardist and won't be using backing tracks.
Also, we'll have high quality video/audio of the set posted in the next few weeks. Here's a list of the songs we played:
Go Blow Snow For A Year
Walk on Water
Sonic Gargles with Garden Marbles
Loungin' in the Giant
Bass Fishing
The Hot Pink of Blues
Zealous Entropy
Light in the Fortress
Hey, sorry for the lack of updates guys... Life has really kept me busy these past few months with school and such, and I know many of you have been eagerly awaiting new material since the launch my new site, but I've been enlisted to play at MAGFest 10 with a band called DoD Live, which is housethegrate, Prince of Darkness, ktriton, and myself, doing live renditions of classic Dwelling of Duels arrangements–everything from funk to prog metal. We're going to be playing Friday, January 4th - 11AM on the 2nd Stage. Here's a teaser of half of the setlist we'll be playing. You'll have to come dance it off with us to find out what other fresh jams we have in store for you!
Chrono Trigger - Zealous Entropy (original: Ashane)
Sonic 3 - Walk on Water (original: housethegrate)
Sonic 3 - Sonic Gargles with Garden Marbles (original: Prince of Darkness, feat. GuitarBizarre)
Contra 4 - Bass Fishing (original: SnappleMan, Prince of Darkness, BrainCells, norg)
If you've never been to MAGFest and live anywhere in the Washington D.C. area (or even if you don't!), you should definitely come out for what is the biggest and best video game music festival in the country, and our show is guaranteed to be nothing short of epic! Yuzo Koshiro (Ys/Actraiser/Streets of Rage composer) is having his first live performance in the US if that isn't enough to motivate you to come!
I've also got lots of other exciting music projects lined up after MAGFest, so stay posted! Thanks, Ashane
Wow, what a solid month full of epic entries. SnappleMan and I took the gold with our Castlevania 2: Belmont's Revenge arrangement, though it was close between second place, which was an amazing Double Dragon Neon arrangement by Shnabubula. M-H's Chrono Cross arrangement was damn epic as well.
The entries are all up on the DoD site, including ours which you can go check out, but keep in mind that we're working on a final mix right now, so watch for that on my site in the next few days!
Oh yeah, Happy Halloween!
Hey guys, sorry for not having a central location for all of my video game covers for so long... My last site was hosted on my brother's server which went belly up. I didn't know how easy setting up a site is nowadays with services like WordPress and dropbox.
So...yeah, I know it's been a long time since I've put any new material out (aside from a Fighting Golf cover from earlier this year), but I've got some different plans and I'm currently working on a song, so keep your eyes peeled for updates! :) Thanks, Ashane
Greetings all. This month's theme for DoD was Fire vs. Ice (fire themed and ice themed songs), in which I decided to make an arrangement of two songs from Secret of Mana - "Eight Ringing Bells" and "A Wish". I'm very happy with how my arrangement turned out (it has live drums, among other live tracks from Zoast!), and I've already finished the final mix, so download away in the Covers section.
Like I said in my last update, I've got a lot of projects lined up and a lot of free time this summer, so expect a lot more music from me in the near future. This DoD was exactly the motivation I needed to start pumping out the tunes.
It's been a while since an update! I've been working on miscellaneous projects the past few months. I've got a lot of projects planned with some friends, along with some songs I'm working on now. Definitely will have a DoD entry this month.
If you check the Covers section, I've added the songs to keep my VG cover chronology up to date. Those songs are Sorcerian - Village, Cybernator - Asteroid Blaster, and Lufia II - Battle 2. Slowly, but surely, I'll come to finish WIPs I have and be able to post a lot more music soon. Be on the lookout for that, and check out this month's DoD. Peace.
Greetings all. Been a while since I've updated the site, but I have just returned from MAGFest. We all had a fantastic time there, and got to see a lot of great bands: Arm Cannon, The Parasprinter, Power Glove, Temp Sound Solutions, Sprite Slowdown, Year 200X, NESkimos, and The Smash Bros.
There was also a DoD listening party for this month's entries of the Chrono series. My entry was "Crossin' Time", an 11-minute medley of assorted Chrono Trigger songs. I wanted it to be longer, but with all the things I've had going this month, unfortunately I couldn't finish it.
Lately I've been studying new mixing techniques and have been working on my setup, so most of the time I put into this song went to the mixing work. I would appreciate any feedback on it, so please drop me a line if you have any suggestions. The Covers page has been updated with the song, so grab it there, or just click here.
Also, congrats to my good buddy, SnappleMan, for taking the gold this month. He really deserved it.
First update since I pretty much got the site up and running, but I just entered in this month's DoD: sega theme. I knew I had to rock TMNT Hyperstone Heist because there are such rockin' tunes waiting for coverage.
It got third place, and I blame that mainly on the fact that I did it in a day and a half right before the deadline. For now, you can hear a WIP (the DoD version) in the Covers section.
I've decided on working on a solo project, and I'll be announcing it, as soon as I develop a small site for it. Consider this as a large addition to the site; details later...I'm working on a couple collabs right now, but prepare for my most fierce DoD yet.
Ok, lots of updates to speak for. The arrangement section is near complete. Added "About Me", "Gear", and "Link" sections. Also, if you haven't noticed the Mailing List, I use it for updates and such. If you want e-mail reminders about song releases and what-not, please take a moment to join the list.
Lots of mp3s available for download now. I have Google Pages maxed at 99/100mB!
All right, this is finally up. I'm going to use the site for music/personal use. After hacking away at most of the dirty work (you suck, CSS! (but on the other hand, I suck too)).
Yeah, I'm a total HTML/CSS n00b, so please bear with the site if it's still riddled with errors. In the meantime, time to upload more of these songs! If you haven't already checked it, have a look at the VG cover section. I've decided to release some of my older, un-released songs.
Oh, and special thanks goes to spamtron and Mr. MAGFest for the assistance.
Oh man, I recorded the Metal Man theme today. Well technically last night since it's 5:30 AM now. That thing is a doozie. I hear everybody say it's so hard to play and now I believe em. I still need to get the levels straight on it. But I'll have it up tomorrow since my brother is sleeping now. No idea on what I'll record next. Drop me a line.
