We do not own any of the music.
They were all composed by their respective composers for the Nintendo Company:

This album features 19 tracks, from 8 different Kirby games, arranged by 30 musicians for more than 1 hour of free music!
Music still goes from Heavy Metal to Jazz and with smooth blues or electro and fusion!

The very first Kirby game “Kirby’s Dream Land” was released on Game Boy in 1992, the series is still going on and features more than 20 games, the last one being “Kirby Star Allies” that’s going to be released this year for the Nintendo Switch.

Pixel Mixers April Cover Contest Results

05/01/201705/01/2017 | pixelmixers

Hello people, it’s time for the review of April cover contest results !
The theme was “Villain Themes” and it was full of surprises.

Even if there was a bit less participants it was full of surprises like members making big collabs, people really trying new music style or some really original arrangements completely changing the mood from the original.

My last point was referring to the audio winner of this month, Orchestral Fantasy with his crazy salsa version of Kefka’s Theme from Final Fantasy VI.
At the 2nd and 3rd places we have the 2 leaders of the 2017 Pixel Mixers championship: Subversiveasset and PrjzCalavera.

About the video contest it’s a victory for Subversiveasset followed by PrjzCalavera and at the 3rd place we have a tie between the heavy SwigglesRP and the Epic Italian Team composed of Psamathes, Dacian Grada and Danilo Ciaffi.

PrjzCalavera keeps the lead at the 2017 audio championship, followed by Subversiveasset who took the 2nd place to Hashel (who didn’t enter this month). At the 4th place there is a tie between SwigglesRP and Dancian Grada, finally at the 5th place is this month’s winner: Orchestral Fantasy.

The May contest‘s theme is “Dance” so you can pick any VGM song you like as long as your arrangement make people want to dance =)
