I had a blast listening to these. Overall they're masterfully done and the animation is really neat too. Stellar job!

That's only a Famicompo convention. They don't own the word (but maybe frito lay does?).

Damn, these are really ambitious. I remember sketching out a few selections from Bach KdF as an exercise when I was starting out with Famitracker years ago, and then abandoning all of them almost immediately because they inevitably sounded dry and robotic despite my efforts to make them not.
The Scriabin turned out best to my ears; the chiptune medium and the sound design (particularly stuff like the pitch sliding in the chords) seem to click with the composition in a weird way.
Oh, and the YouTube animation is nice as well, but if chibi-Scriabin's really playing on that light organ of his in the video, then where is the sound coming from?! Spooky...

>classical music covers
My brethren of African descent!
I'm liking the way common NES game music tropes blends with the classical pieces.
I'm still pondering the question of how a NES cover of Thus Spoke Zarathustra or the Toccata and Fugue in D minor would sound like...
