GHTunes Showcase: GHDevTravis and his tracks

Hello! My name is Travis Chen (GHDevTravis) and I'm a programmer at Neversoft entertainment. I work exclusively on Guitar Hero's GHStudio.  

My two songs, Hello Universe and Solar Event, are themed around the wonderful galaxy we live in. I tried to give them a real ethereal spacey feel while combining elements of chiptunes / low-fi /game music. I'm really excited this year about GHStudio's chiptune potential. We have a wide variety of samples and effects catered to the genre. That paired with our more extreme sweep and bend note expressions really give you the tools to recreate that old school game sound.

Daft Punk is probably the biggest inspiration for the songs I create; although, my taste in music runs rampant across all genres. One of my favorite bands to see live is The Aquabats, who are the self proclaimed greatest band in the world and dress up like super heroes for all their shows. I was in a ska band all through college called My Favor!te Button. We specialized in covering old tv and cartoon theme songs. We weren't great but it sure was good times.

Nowadays, you can find my new music alongside interesting electronics projects and illustrations at my personal blog: http://www.defcon6.com.
