If Geoff Follin can go beyond limitations, you can too. R.I.P.

"Okay Tim, we are making a mascot platformer on the SNES about a creature trying to get the stolen flag back."

"A prog rock symphony. Got it."

This must be what the beaches in heaven sound like now

"Sorry Mr. Follin, this soundchip is sample-based, there's no saw wave..."
*records 0.001s of saw wave and shoves it aggressively into the S-SMP without breaking eye contact

Tim Follin (and Geoff):
- Make NES sound like SNES.
- Make SNES sound like Playstation.

publisher: "Wow Follin Bros, how did you fit this entire complex song onto only 8 channels?"
Follins: "Wait, there are 8 available channels?"

You know there was some kid on the playground back in the day trying to convince their friends that Plok! is the sickest game ever, and no one believed them

The Follin brothers are not only built different, they're built correctly.

Sir, this is a Super Nintendo.

The way it alternates between 7/8 and 4/4 so seamlessly will never not amaze me

I love it when composers just say "fuck it" in the middle of a song and go to a completely different song that somehow still fits.

I can't believe how unbelievably modern this sounds

Rest in peace, Geoff Follin, who co-created this soundtrack with his brother, Tim Follin. He passed away of pancreatic cancer just recently, and it is extremely hard hitting news.

Thanks for all the masterpiece OSTs you helped concoct, Geoff.

If Miyamoto needs to disassemble an SNES because of your ability to work around limitations, you've made it as a musician. No question about it.

Fun Fact: every song in Plok, excluding the Title Screen, uses 5 of the 8 tracks of the Super Nintendo, which means this is just a small glimpse at what the Follin brothers were capable of at the time

Fun Fact: This song uses only 5 of the 8 sound channels on the Super Nintendo. This song is technically more limited than most songs on the system.

Love how it switches up just completely without warning

I found this on a "Worst Video Game Music" playlist. I was shocked to say the least. (Just to clarify something, the playlist I found this on was deleted years ago)

I believe the term for people like Tim Follin is "musical scientist"

Can't believe this chiptune album comes with a video game
