Music for the gameplay of BORGO'S BALLS, a game designed by a team of five Tenacious Bulljammers in 48 hours at the Hammerzeit game jam 2013, hosted by Gameforge.

It's in the key of B...for Borgo. This file repeats once so you can hear the loop.

Percussion elements by rendy95, rob10, and matias reccius at freesound.org - thanks!

By the way, the game won first place at the jam, based on a vote by all participants. Have a look at our presentation video if you're interested:

i've been working on a vocoder for like 10 years or more. starting and stopping, rebuilding it, thinking about it, putting it aside for a rainy day. this is the latest sound it makes. when and if it's ready I'll let you know.

... and then something good just happens and you don't even notice that it was always there.

... and eventually it stops hurting and you wait for something good to happen ...

For my DJs:
140 BPM
Intro key: D major
Outro key: F#↓inframin9 (good luck, buddy)

For the xen heads:
43 equal divisions of the octave (43edo or 43ed2), also called 43-tone equal temperament (43tet), was chosen here because it's the smallest equal temperament with a halfway decent approximation of 1:2:3:4:5:6:7:8:9:10:11:12:13:14:15:16:17:18:19. After this experience I would definitely use it again. Turn on subtitles to see the chords!
