Notes
Y’know, you can get this album on CD, and it comes with printed cat pictures too? 🥺 Perfect for #bandcampfriday
🎵 Chiptune cover of Euphoria by Muse
Actually, this song is amazing, it works SO well in this style too 🤩
🎵 As Summer Ends (an original, from Basking in the Sunlight)
Maybe not winter appropriate... 🤭 but still a classic from the ol' collection
sk8er boi but actually they're lesbians
(suuuuurely this has been done before???)
🎵 Chiptune cover of Yumi Tanimura - Ganbare Broken Heart
It really feels like the western world is missing out on her music - one of my top artists this year 😍
🎵 Chiptune cover of ICON by TWICE
(I should really turn off the cursor highlighting when recording these lol)
There’s a full version on YouTube btw! www.youtube.com/watch?v=iYjQ...
I was today years old when I found out how to do the smooth scrolling thing on FL Studio???
This song is as relevant now as it was 15 years ago 😩 (chiptune cover of Muse's MK Ultra)
A couple years ago I made an ironic drum and bass breakdown in the middle of an ironic trap beat song about making it rain but you've only got spare change :')
Sometimes I’m not creative for a couple of weeks at a time, and that’s okay
I am genuinely unreasonably hyped and excited for this
You ever wake up one morning and realise you just… don’t wanna make chiptune music anymore? 😩 Like, I thought about working on more original chiptune stuff but I would MUCH rather play instruments and sing forever more, to me it feels so much more rewarding on a deep physical level
Daylight saving has really messed me up this year, afternoons this week are all write-offs. I feel so uncomfy any time past like 3pm 😩
Fictional bands from video games are one of THE coolest things, especially when they sing about in-universe concepts, and get albums released in the real world
Okay, it turns out the YouTube version has EQ and a mastering plugin, but I'd since removed them for this recording, I promise!
This is probably the closest I ever came to making *actual* 8-bit music (called "Ultraviolet", 2018). And it has a sick breakdown section!!
I limited myself to one (ONE!) note per channel, and used exclusively NES VST and the Mario Paint drum soundfont. No EQ or effects 😎
God damnit, Jem and his typical prog BS key-changed up a minor third for the second verse and one semi-tone for the second chorus - makes covering songs rather difficult. Compare this to the original video, it's quite similar but also completely different...! 😆
You make a good point, but sometimes being creative is hard, and even then I have SO many song ideas but I don't know if they should be chiptune-based, or played and sung 😭
