Threatened Skies - Part 1

In the not so distant future, hope for humanity lies dwindling as the spread of industry envelopes the Earth. The robot factories have now covered over 75% of the Earths surface, while the skies have shifted from a bright blue, to a dense layer of dark greys and reds.

Through the thick, burning air, one man stands alone against the threat to his home. His name is Carltron9000, and with him he brings a new light. A light in the form of the ultimate computer virus which systematically converts all PLC/ICS and hybrid robotic instruction into Famitracker chiptune code. Once the code is injected, the world will resonate as the very robots who seek to terminate our existence, one by one, begin to start arranging the chaotic musical code into organized works of stunning complexity, and to our biggest surprise, songs of such magnitude and beauty that most of the world still refuses to believe the robots are actually responsible.

Now, as the planets life runs dry, our only hope lies with CT9x to pen. the FAMIcore and find out for himself the true nature of this remarkable phenomenon. Are the robots slowly being converted one by one, by the power of chiptune, only to form an uprising against the oppressive industrial central AI? Deep within the metallic corridors of Robot City lies the underbelly of the AI core. Here, our fearless hero will search out the robot chipists and attempt to make first contact in the hopes of jamming out the sweetest chips; uniting all lifeforms through music and replenishing the once rich sky with the bluest of all blues and freshest of all human/machine fusion chip music!

Metal - Cascades

Occasionally, I'll think of an old track from my scene days that had a good idea, but the execution was just too sloppy for the song to work. This song is the most glaring example; the drums were stuttery and un-groovy, the "zomg jazzy" chords just didn't work, and the song was WAY too repetitive.

As usual, the mindset for me is "if I made this song today, how would I do it?" Well, nailing the groove was top priority, so I cleaned up the kick rhythm to the point where the bass could carry the heavy load. I briefly considered re-doing the brass with proper samples, but that is A) time-consuming and B) kinda ignores the tracker roots of the song. So I whipped up a "brass-like" patch in Harmor that worked quite well. Gotta love them swells =)

Finally, it was just a case of listening to the song over and over until one part stuck out to me as annoying, and trying to read that "allergic reaction" and make something that fit. So the post-solo jam part was born, and I think it adds the perfect apogee moment that justifies a six-minute track.

One note on the jazzy chord progressions: I have ABSOLUTELY no idea what I'm doing. In fact, I don't even know what chords they are, I just stack shit up until it sounds like jazz. This, I feel, is at the core of how this song was written back in 1995.

Some boss battle and EDM vibes in here

I've been meaning to play around with Konami's VRC6 mapper some more (I haven't really done anything with it since Break Free 7 years ago) and I finally got around to that!

I kind of ran out of ideas during the chorus but I forced something out because I haven't made anything else quite like this in FamiTracker before
