Released on cassette via the awesome Personal Uschi Made only using the super /\/\ario soundfont and sfx. Inspired by vitreous and the game soundtracks that shaped my youth, this is an attempt at an rpg ost for a game that doesn't exist.

In a box of old video games, you find a dusty old cartridge. You don't remember the game at all, but the soundtrack is somehow familiar... The Dustier Cartridge EP is a "demake" of seven songs from my 2022 album, Dusty Cartridge: Soundtrack to a Forgotten Kingdom. Dusty Cartridge is an imaginary soundtrack to a lost Nintendo 64 game, and I thought it would be fun to imagine what those songs would sound like if they were from an older, even-more-lost NES game from the same fictional franchise. The songs on this EP were created using Famitracker, a tracker specifically designed for writing authentic NES chiptunes. The source project files are included on this disk. They can be opened, played back, and edited using Famitracker. Huge thanks to Error Prone Records for putting this together, and thank you for your support of weird art and dead formats! - Ed Herbers
