Apologies to anyone who showed up to the casino last month and couldn't get in, but the doors are open again and tonight we're spinning up unused tracks from 8-bit and 16-bit games. These were tunes left out of gameplay and initially inaccessible by regular means until our contemporary technology and enterprising nerds began unearthing them for all to hear. Will the roulette find some hidden gems among these hidden gems? Come on in and let's do this!

Episode 08: Unused 8-bit and 16-bit Tracks

Hey folks.  We're cutting straight to the Casino Chatter this week, because KeyGlyph needs to catch up with you all and connect about the future of this establishment.  The short story is that the casino proper will be closing up shop this month, which means no further episodes are scheduled to be published here.  That said, KeyGlyph anticipates popping up elsewhere in the podcastverse from time to time, spreading the joy of randomized tunes as she goes.  She also greatly encourages any of you who dig the randomized format to go ahead and use it in your own projects, apologizes for dropping this news so suddenly, and thanks you from the bottom of her heart for listening to Sound Test Roulette.

Episode 09: Casino Chatter

The casino is in the middle of a cross-country relocation, so this month's episode is going to be something a little different:  a music-only compilation of seven more randomized tracks from a previous episode's theme.  Ready to take home some "extra winnings" from a bygone wheel spin?  Let's begin!

Episode 07: Extra Winnings: Begin

This month KeyGlyph takes all 1896 MIDI files in the Nintendo 64 section of the Video Game Music Archive, randomizes seven, and plays the original chiptune of each one.  Since every MIDI on vgmusic.com was lovingly transposed and created by a fan, this selection pool is more likely to reflect the more popular and cherished musical pieces that graced the system.  If you loved the N64, you're probably gonna like how this roulette rolls!

Episode 06: N64 Roulette

Have you ever celebrated a new year by traveling back in time?  Well, now's your chance!  Join a congested KeyGlyph as she uses an issue of Nintendo Power to rewind to 2000 and unearth a handful Game Boy Color tracks straight from the Y2K era.  A few excellent jams turn up in some very unexpected places, so strap on your complementary surgical mask, wash your hands, and give that roulette its inaugural 2019 spin!
