Little acoustic demo, proof-of-concept that music doesn't need to be complicated to make you feel something.

Unplugged Memories

Quick draft of a thing I'm working on. Maybe it sounds like anime music, maybe it sounds like chiptune, idk.

Chiptune-Anime-Thingy

Day 1 of the #21daysofvgm challenge! Nice and happy theme that could be used for a city or something.

#21daysofvgm - Day 1 - "ChipCity (Day)"

Day 11 of the #21daysofvgm challenge!

For some reason, while coming up with the rhythm/progression of this track, the big desert sand worm enemy from Final Fantasy X popped up in my mind, so I tried to compose for a similar enemy's boss theme!

Made with Reaper (DAW) and Super Audio Cart/PC (VSTi).

#21daysofvgm - Day 11 - "Wurm Boss Battle"

Day 12 of the #21daysofvgm challenge!

**no major chords were harmed while making this tune**
For some reason, while coming up with the rhythm/progression of this track, the big desert sand worm enemy from Final Fantasy X popped up in my mind, so I tried to compose for a similar enemy's boss theme!

Made with Reaper (DAW); all instruments are from free *.sf2 files (particularly with samples from the GBA Pokémon games) loaded into the DSK SF2 player (VSTi).

#21daysofvgm - Day 12 - "A Minor Issue"

Day 13 of the #21daysofvgm challenge!

**title translates as "Goodnight, Dreamers!" from Italian.**
Again, had little-to-no time today for this, but managed to come up with a relaxing little jingle for when, in an RPG, you go to sleep at the Inn, restoring all the HP and MP!

Made with Reaper (DAW); electric piano is MK Merlitzer by BigCat (VSTi).

#21daysofvgm - Day 13 - "Buonanotte, Sognatori!"

Day 14 of the #21daysofvgm challenge!

Two weeks done, yay! Was messing around with a triangle wave and came up with this creepy bassline, so I expanded the thing into a haunted mansion type of theme.

Made with Reaper (DAW) and Super Audio Boy (VSTi).

#21daysofvgm - Day 14 - "Ye Olde Chateau"

Day 15 of the #21daysofvgm challenge!

Remember my day 1 track, "ChipCity (Day)"? Well, this could be a night theme for that city! This track is my first experiment at "old school" chiptune (think Mega Man, I guess? Minus the stereo delay :P), with some triangle channel bass+drums alongside the noise and some fast arpeggios to mimic chords.

Made with Reaper (DAW) and Super Audio Boy (VSTi).

#21daysofvgm - Day 15 - "ChipCity (Night)"

Day 16 of the #21daysofvgm challenge!

Not sure about the scenario of this, maybe your partner Marie Ork sings a lullaby inviting all to go have a peaceful sleep time or something?

LYRICS:
Journey's now at the end
and we're getting sleepy...
If you want to join us,
please speak up now.
Please speak up now
or just go away;
journey's now at the end
and we're gonna sleep.

Made with Reaper (DAW), FrozenPlain's Victorian Music Box and Plogue's AlterEgo + Marie Ork voicebank (VSTis).

#21daysofvgm - Day 16 - "Sleepy Time with Marie"

Day 17 of the #21daysofvgm challenge!

Continuing my journey to learn NES-like chiptune music! This time I refined the "triangle wave drums" I used in the previous chip tune (day 15), also adding some "tom" fills! 
This is meant to be some sort of dance-off battle in a disco environment, keeps you on edge while still grooving!

Made with Reaper (DAW), everything you hear is from Super Audio Boy (VSTi) by Impact Soundworks.

#21daysofvgm - Day 17 - "Disco Boss Theme"

Day 18 of the #21daysofvgm challenge!

Messing around with pads, pentatonic scale and dream-like ambientation!

Made with Reaper (DAW), various AIR VSTis (Vacuum, Vacuum Pro, XPand 2...), flute is Embertone Shire Whistle VSTi with the "Braveheart Legato" patch, bass is from Super Audio Cart PC (VSTi).

#21daysofvgm - Day 18 - "Dreamscape"

Day 19 of the #21daysofvgm challenge!

Short 'n' Sweet victory jingle-thing for today!

Made with Reaper (DAW), all you hear is "The Chordophones" (VSTi) from FrozenPlain.

#21daysofvgm - Day 19 - "Victory Jingle"

Day 20 of the #21daysofvgm challenge!

We're approaching the grand finale!! After days of scorching heat we got some clouds and hopefully some rain soon here in Italy, so I could focus a bit more and for some reason this little acoustic tune came into mind; basic stuff, but still enjoyable I hope!

Made with Reaper (DAW), all instruments are recorded directly into my M-Audio interface (Yamaha Acoustic Guitar and Harley Benton U-Bass) apart from the flute which is Embertone Shire Whistle (VSTi) with the "Braveheart Legato" patch.

#21daysofvgm - Day 20 - "Happy Times"

Day 21, the final day of the #21daysofvgm challenge!

The end is here! But whenever a journey ends, another one begins, so let's finish up with a high note and this jolly chiptune piece! It's been a great opportunity and I'm still surprised I could make it to the end while not skipping any day!

Made with Reaper (DAW), everything you hear comes from Super Audio Boy (VSTi) by Impact Soundworks.

#21daysofvgm - Day 21 - "The Journey"
