It’s a cover of Hiya Hiya Island from the SNES game Super Adventure Island II, using mostly NES samples. I had inititally planned for some of it to be performed on guitar, doubling up or replacing certain parts altogether. Assuming that’ll still happen at some point I’ll consider this a ‘work in progress’.&lt;/p&gt;
