Good Chiptune/Retro I Found 2

I deleted this one earlier this year for whatever reason. But It's here to stay now.

Well it's a dud, caught in the middle of I know you should
You said you would, not counting stitches at the end of it
And there you go, there you go
It's just for show, it's just for show
--------------------------------------------------------
And if I say tomorrow, I'm burning down a bridge
You see the flames of sorrow and breathe the ashes
Cause' it's a dud, ah held on when you knew you could
You lost your foot, ah and fell from where you stood
From where you stood
--------------------------------------------------------
Well, in a nutshell, you're everything I thought you were
And standing sun, toss it in and let it burn
And there you go, there you go
It's just for show, it's just for show
--------------------------------------------------------
And if I say tomorrow, I'm burning down a bridge
You see the flames of sorrow and breathe the ashes
Cause' it's a dud, ah held on when you knew you could
You lost your foot, ah and fell from where you stood
From where you stood

Counting Stitches

A track from my album Pulse of the Machine:
https://djtransaction.bandcamp.com/album/pulse-of-the-machine-album Made entirely on my Roland Fantom. No samples, no computer, pure synthesizer workstation. This is the 3rd synth pop song in my album. It is supposed to sound cute and melodic.

What Do You Want From Me ?

Ballad of Midgaard's Finest Newbie, Edgar the Horrible!  Short version before it goes to the French Album Jam on Itch.IO

Ballad Of Edgar The Horrible (Abridged)

In Real Life is a fun song with an irresistible groove about the duality of our personas in digital realms like social media that allow us to present an image to the virtual world that is not necessarily who we are in real life. The idea came from the abbreviation IRL coming into the language to designate the distinction between real life and the virtual worlds we visit where we are not constrained or defined by who we are IRL.

In real life, you ain’t no super model
Baby, but you’re still beautiful!
In real life, I ain’t no rock star
But every chance I get
I sure enough rock!

I ain’t no algorithm
I’m virtually a person
I’ve got my own damn story
And most if it is virtually true!

In real life I’m virtually a rock star
Yeah I’m a rock star baby
In real life you’re virtually a super model
Doin’ the cat walk baby
In real life you influence virtually everyone

In real life, its virtually true
In real life, you’re a virtual star
IRL I’ll make you a bet
That what you see ain’t what I get

In real life, you ain’t no super model
Oh baby, but you’re beautiful!
In real life, I ain’t no rock star
But every chance I get
I sure enough rock!

I ain’t no algorithm
I’m virtually a person
I’ve got my own damn story
And most if it is virtually true

In real life I’m virtually a rock star
Rock star rock star rock star
In real life you’re virtually a super model
A super duper model
In real life you influence virtually everyone darling

In real life, its virtually true
In real life, you’re a virtual star
IRL I’ll make you a bet
That what you see ain’t what I get

In real life I’m virtually a rock star
Yeah I’m a rock star baby
In real life you’re virtually a super model
Doin’ the cat walk baby
In real life you influence virtually everyone
You have followers baby

In real life, its virtually true
In real life, you’re a virtual star
IRL I’ll make you a bet
That what you see ain’t what I get

Say it how it should be

The second track to be the same length over 9 minutes as a vocal track like this, after Foul-Mouthed Parrot was the first one that was super long.

This thing in my own assessment is strong in the early to middle but cringe at the end  because of Time constraints.  It would get re-takes of all the vocals for the last third at a later time (TBD!), like one of my "Alpha Remaster" type releases.  I juggle a 9-5 job and am not full-time musician and yeah it shows lol.  It should have been either chopped to half length or the entire second half needed more takes landing the vocals on probably different melody notes against the instrumentals.

Buntline’s Overcompensated Six-Shooter Rag submission for Weekly Note Composing Jam #25 hosted by emscottish for Itch.IO July 2025

the text prompt for the jam was simply "Old Saloon"

And so a honky tonk piano seemed logical along with banjo approximately.

Originally I had written this more than a year ago under the heavy influence of Sonic Youth and Thurston Moore memoirs in particular (around the same time as "Forgotten Boy" which was also driven by the same matters). I tried to record it back then though the result wasn't quite satisfying, so until now it existed only as an Instagram reel where I was playing it live.

It could have remained like this if I hadn't realized that this tune might fit in perfectly with my new Da Tape De H project. So here it is, wide dynamics and fierce high-gain strumming properly produced and put on tape with Tascam 424 MKIII portastudio.

I wrote this song about my girlfriend and if you have someone in your life that you love and care about, then this song is for you.

A therapeutic journey into a mix of jazz, classical, and a blend of types of electronica.  And a wry, gradual observation that promotion tends to only go as far as you push it.  At least I make my fellow musicians laugh a little.
