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 😭
Thanks 😊 I'm so glad I could introduce you to them!
3xOsc (built into FL Studio) for the vocal layer, and NES VST for eeeeeverything else! (Drums are various C64 samples collected over the years)
Recently I've been trying to process each instrument less. So mostly no delay/reverb/compression, just clippers. 🤓
For context, here's the original song, which you should totally listen to. Actually, listen to the whole album please and thank you. 🙏 www.youtube.com/watch?v=pHr1...
Working on a new chiptune cover of a song by Frost* - they're a prog rock band I WISH more people knew about. I'm INSANELY OBSESSED with their new album 🤩🤩🤩
Yeahhhh I knowwww, in the end it’s quite wise! I’m just bein’ goofy (and I hope it didn’t come across as rude)
Rude of you to assume it’s about food 😤 (though I am always hungry…)
Anyway, I’m going to do a Jenni by polling the internet and then ignoring the outcome 😇 /t
You can’t just go to a fortune teller and be like “nope. don’t like that one. give better fortune pls”! 😆
It told me no 😔 But that was a thing I wanted to do. I guess it knows best… 🥺
🎵 Chiptune cover of Muse's You Make Me Feel Like It's Halloween 🎃
🎵 (Internal) Server Error, a chiptune song I made in 2017
I wonder what the compression will do to the audio, but the super low-end at the start is something I'm very proud of 😄
HAHAHA oh my godddd I’ve seen this comic before but not the original photo, this is amazing 🤣 It’s so artsy, it deserves to be framed
