Earthbound - Twoson

music, album cover: @narek_ps

♪♪♪乁( ◕_◕乁)

After half a year of VGM covers and experimental chiptunes, I decided to bring back FamiTastik and gauge my learnings during these months. Following the spirit of Vol.1, FamiTastik Vol.2 is a collection of stories yet untold and sceneries yet unseen narrated through videogame music.

Thank you all who have supported me and my music during these times. (◕‿◕｡)

~~~~~~~~~~~~

~Is this the beginning of a long journey with FamiTastik? Who knows, we'll see.~

Music made entirely with Dn-FamiTracker using the VRC6 expansion chip (without using any samples in the DPCM channel) and no post-processing whatsoever, apart from some gentle volume leveling and limiting. The .nsf file containing all of the compiled tracks is included with the album.

CLOVER - FOUR IN ONE

This track was written to demonstrate the harmonic possibilities of using higher harmonics freely whenever the composer wishes, without the bounds of a traditional scale, but within the bounds of major/minor/seventh harmony. It is also quite funky!

Harmonics of 11ths, 13th, 23rds etc are prominent in this composition, without being overwhelming in their unusualness. The highest prime harmonic used was the 127th harmonic in the final melody! E#''' was also used (125th harmonic)

It was written using a new notation system which has been devised to make accessing higher harmonics as intuitive as possible (it still takes a bit of getting one's head around!). Please contact me if you would like to see the score written in this notation system, or for details about how this notation system enables interesting harmonic composition outside of the bounds of the Western 12-note scale to be realised.

It qualifies for chiptune since although it is (much to my shame) 16-bit 44100Hz audio instead of the pure 8-bit, the sounds were synthesised from scratch using modified sin/saw waves, with a bit of band-limited noise thrown in for good measure. The synth took as input CSV 6xN matrices as sequence files, and processed in Octave/MATLAB to give MP3 output which you hear here.
---------
update 10th Apr 2015:

Here is a brief description of how the MP3 track was generated:

Just Intonation Notes (1/1 4/3 7/4 etc) <-> New Notation System (C F `Bb~7 etc) which is easier to read than pure numbers and where the letter corresponds (roughly) to the position in the 12ET scale
-> Excel block of chords and melody notes for visual presentation to composer (.txt)
-> Excel long (~1700 columns) of calculated note letters, frequencies, note lengths, etc
-> Excel final sequence file with 6 columns: channel, start time, frequency, note length, loudness, stereo position (.csv)
-> Octave/MATLAB code to take the 6 columns and turn them into chiptune (.mp3 or .wav)
-> Sometimes extra post processing in Audacity for final .wav

Sonata 1 'Cheery' - Chip Synth, Justly Intoned

This is a justly intoned arrangement of J. S. Bach's Prelude in C Major, the first Prelude of the 48 Preludes and Fugues, a body of work by Bach which demonstrated that with tempered tunings every major and minor key was usable.

As well as being one of my favourite pieces of music, I thought it would be worthwhile to demonstrate that this music sounds just as interesting (maybe more interesting!) in Just Intonation (JI), where exclusively rationally-spaced intervals are used. JI is the natural way of tuning intervals. It derived from harmonic series, which are produced by string and wind instruments.

Due to the 'wrap-around' nature of tempered tunings, some transitions (e.g. D minor to G major) are good transitions in tempered tunings, but sound 'further away' or less harmonious in JI. Also, transitions from ,D' to `D (10/9 to 9/8) and from C to `C~7 (1/1 to 63/64) are noticeably microtonal shifts. Some people might like them, some might not. Personally, I like them. The major advantage is the purity of all the triads and seventh chords, which in my opinion outweigh the 'disadvantages' of having noticeable microtonality.

As always, I've slipped in an 11th and 13th harmonic (the 11th is obvious, the 13th less so). I refuse to write any new music which does not contain both 11th and 13th harmonics.

Another interesting feature was Bach's usage of diminished chords. My favourite justly intoned diminished chord is the sequence 10:12:14:17:20:24:28:34:40 etc. Hence, some 17th harmonics have been used, wherever there is a diminished chord, in both 17/1 and 1/17 formats (and 5/17).

Hence, this track contains all the harmonics 2, 3, 5, 7, 11, 13 and 17. I will attempt to remedy the lack of 19, 23, ..., 127th harmonics in my next upload.

Enjoy!

Bach BWV846 Prelude in C major - Chip Synth, Justly Intoned

This is a justly intoned arrangement of Chopin's Etude in C Major (Opus 10, No. 1), the first Etude of his series of Etudes which demonstrated his new piano performance techniques.

Although Etudes are usually technical exercises, Chopin's are special since they are immensely listenable with intricate harmonies.

I have retuned Chopin's harmony to have much more than 12 notes to the scale. More to come (hopefully soon!) about the notes which have been used. Concisely, the major and minor triads and sevenths have almost everywhere been preserved, and Chopin's use of sequences leads the harmony down very interesting and long paths in the 7-limit tonal lattice. A couple of jarring transitions are where the harmony jumps up by a syntonic comma (or 7-limit comma). As always, 11th and 13th harmonics are smuggled in, in some of the diminished chords near the end.

Enjoy!

Dave

Stevie Wonder has written a great song - You Are The Sunshine Of My Life. But those amazing harmonies are crying out for something - Just Intonation!

By using my new notation system to convert his piano scale harmonies to natural harmonics, a purer and more interesting harmonic structure is revealed.

As always, the underused 11th and 13th harmonics are hidden in this retuning (in the intro section using neutral thirds)

Enjoy! Dave

Stevie Wonder - You Are The Sunshine Of My Life - Chip Synth, Justly Intoned

This is a justly intoned arrangement of J. S. Bach's Prelude in C Sharp Major, the third Prelude of the 48 Preludes and Fugues, a body of work by Bach which demonstrated that with tempered tunings every major and minor key was usable. It was made using a custom sequencer in Excel+Octave which allowed exact frequencies to be specified.

'Normalised commas' mean that the piece was composed in simple Just Intonation by specifying local frequency ratios, the most important of which are major (4:5:6) and minor (10:12:15) triads locally. However, between different sections they may be out of tune by microtonal commas (e.g. 81/80) and to fix this the different sections need to be stitched together by multiplying the later section by an accumulation of commas. This means that we get 'comma travel' so the piece moves sharp or flat in frequency. To fix this second issue, the commas can be normalised by dividing out by a local moving average of the accumulated commas.

By comparing this normalised version to the 'comma travel' version, it is easy to detect this movement in pitch. The commas on this track were normalised over 48 beats (8 bars).

Accumulation of commas, normalised or unnormalised, will be explained further in my second JI maths/music paper - pending! The theme of it is how to take any sheet music and retune it into JI using comma alterations, mainly of 5th and 7th harmonics. However, as always, in this track I've snuk in some 11th and 13th harmonics which you might be able to locate by ear or by examining the code blocks in Github (upload pending as of 9th Nov 2015).

Enjoy!

Bach BWV848 Prelude in C Sharp Major - Chip Synth, Justly Intoned, Normalised Commas

pythagorean tuning vs. just intonation. c5 scale

Show me your moves! Falcon quotes aside, here is an F-Zero cover I did recently. I wanted to do a more synth orientated cover for my next VGM cover and so I ended up picking “Silence”, from the first F-Zero game on the SNES. It was also a case of me really wanting to do an F-Zero cover as it’s one of my favourite gaming franchises. Whilst GX is my favourite game in the series, I really dig this song and thought it would make for an interesting rendition. 

I’m very proud of the outcome of this cover. The sounds I got out of the keyboard were perfect and set up a nice sci-fi synth vibe. I also managed to play the bass part with fingers competently, considering I am still a novice on bass, especially when playing with fingers. And I’m very pleased with how the trumpet section in the original track translates nicely onto guitars, as well as the rhythm guitar I wrote for this rendition. As I am still learning about mixing I also believe I did a decent job with the mixing, doing the best I could with what I knew and what I had. 

Hope you like my cover and stay tuned for more VGM covers in future.

this was fun to make, esp because i really like this theme

also i do not care that it's inaccurate because i pitch bended the bass a single time mainly because it sounds better with it, i tried to find some way to have it sound good without the pitch bend but nothing i tried worked (now that i think about it... i guess it could technically be accurate if it was a separate sample? let's just say that's how i did it.)

I'm into Just Intonation (JI), which is using harmonics (or undertones) to generate music. Over time, my profile will fill up with wonderful and melodious New Harmony, fresh from the infinite vaults of the original and best source of harmony, Just Intonation.

I’ve written some papers on the music theory of Just Intonation. You can check them out via the arXiv link below. Topics include the mathematical analysis of harmony (in Just Intonation), and a notation system to cover all of Just Intonation.

Enjoy listening!
