From the upcoming Formalities EP, out on Dadstache Records (mine and my roommates record label). It's a chiptune EP, which I made on LSDJ and an emulator, among other things. More to come later this week...
I hope you all enjoy the track!
Jeepers. Back in my day I typed raw hex into the assembler! Sounds good, congratulations! Here are a few of mine from from back in the day, from The Decade Demo, Atari ST (YM chip). Back then there were no trackers, so instead I had to write the synth myself first! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1GL0Ju6ww_w https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XwgNVnLOYjM https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HT670gaFVbw https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SPx7EzgODuU https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Bwrj5K7VzGw And a Quartet tune from 'Things Not To Do...' Samples, and sequenced, but we rewrote the audio driver:
I enjoyed those a lot, thanks for sharing them! It's still possible to write synths yourself in LSDJ (though I'm sure it's a bit more limited), and it certainly allows for a personification of the synth. That said, what you've done is much more impressive! My roommate enjoyed it a lot too.
Let me know what you think - the rest of the EP comes out on Thursday. LSDJ isn't too hard to learn if you've got free time. Getting to a point where you can become very creative with instrumentation and other tricks is the harder part. I've been fortunate enough to live with people who know what they're doing and go ask them on a regular basis how to do certain things.
Thanks! It'll be out this Thursday, I'll be making another post. Not so much with this song, it's the oldest of the bunch and I wasn't really going for anything in particular beyond something with a pulse that's vaguely danceable. The other three tracks were written during a down period in my life, and I think reflects a more industrial and dark sound. That said, I really like some of the melodies in those songs. But the drums are bigger and everything has a bit different feel from Summer Song. I think it reflects a more mature and controlled chaos. I'll get more into the technical process and why I used the samples once the EP drops.
