Happy Holidays from Reboot Air!
REBOOT DROPS MARCH 2022
-
Hey all, EchoLane here! I hope this year was great for y'all, given the circumstances, haha. I know I haven't posted much this year (I've been hard at work on the album), but I couldn't miss out on a holiday tradition! This time it's an a capella, partially inspired by The Ronettes' rendition. Stay warm, and I'll see you next year. >:3

Art, production, and vocal performance by me. Radio clips from various Hawaii radio stations.

Taxi and Takeoff (Intro)

This is a post i've been dreading making >_<
Long story short: I'm out of SoundCloud space! For the time being, I'll be focusing on my Youtube, Bandcamp, and streaming services (links below). I'd love to upgrade to the SoundCloud Pro plan, but 12$/month is outside my budget right now. When I'm back, you'll know >:3

In other news- and why I'm announcing this now- I've got a remix EP coming out tomorrow! Catch the premiere on YouTube and get the project on Bandcamp. ^_^

SOUNDCLOUD GOING ON HIATUS (check desc.)

Video Killed The Radio Star - Chiptune Cover

3 songs used in the mashup/cover-
Barry Manilow - Who's Been Sleeping In My Bed?
Daft Punk - Superheroes
Daft Punk - One More Time

Made in Famitracker.

One More Hero - Chiptune Mashup

I recently came across this high-quality rip on Siivagunner's YouTube channel. For some reason it really resonated with me, stupid as that sounds, and inspired me to both find my New Leaf game that I hadn't touched in 2 years, and create this song.

I had to touch up the melody in a few places so it'd gel better, and added a solo, but for most part the structure is the same.

Art by me, again, and created in Famitracker with the VRC6 chip.

The original rip:

Re-Tail (High Quality Rip) - Chiptune Cover

Upgraded to Famitracker 0CC recently, and made this to kind of break it in. Been going on a TMBG bender recently, so maybe more of their stuff'll make it's way onto here? We'll see.

Used the VRC6 + N163 chips.
Cover art by me (I'm especially proud of this one)

Man, It's So Loud in Here - Chiptune Cover

Another TMBG song. Not my best work, but definitely not my worst. There were some transients in the leads with the 2A03 squares, so I had to port the two parts over to the VRC6 squares.

Used the VRC6 + N163 chips.
Cover art by me.

Thankful for Your Service - Chiptune Cover

Mortal works outstretch past infinity
Here all too long, this world's time is past
Night falls, fluorescence radiates
Eyes turned inwards, dread tuned out
Lights flicker distantly
Lights flicker nearby
City, alight
It all dims
What's left?
Dust

~~~

Something a little different, but hopefully it still sounds good! I had in my head a picture of this old massive dilapidated city, this last bastion that's slowly decaying (something like the city from Machinarium?), but the people inside are still hopeful. My art skills aren't so good yet, so I decided to make a song out of it! I'm thinking that I might do more songs with some of the motifs in here, I really like the arpeggio that I came up with.

I recorded the clarinet, I'm proud of how it came out on this one.

Cover art by me. I think I'm getting better with pixelart!

Theme of the City

A chiptune cover of one of my favorite songs (though really, how can you choose) off of ミラクルミュージカル's (Miracle Musical's) Hawaii Part II. I've really been digging this album lately, so I decided to make a chiptune cover of it (I'm aware of the official chiptunes, but honestly I feel like a lot of them are kinda lacking).

Made in Famitracker using only the base 2A03 chip, I tried challenging myself this time, and I'm proud of how it turned out!

Art, again, by me.

White Ball - Chiptune Cover

You go to the sea
There's something about the waves
Breathing just like you

~~~

I've been working on this one for a while now, I'm very proud with how it turned out, especially the meter change (is that the right term?) in the middle. Hopefully I'll get some stuff done sooner this next time around!

Made in Famitracker 0CC with the vrc6 and n163 chips, mixed/mastered in Ableton, art made in Aesprite.

Recover (2019 Demo)

soundcloud's copyright bot sucks trash bro

APPROXIMATION OF ORIGINAL DESCRIPTION:
Fun fact: I had this patched up for about a month without recording it (end of school is fun). Anyway, I ended up finding some time, so- here it is!

Arpeggio is Rings mixed with the Microbrute, sequenced by the 'brute and clocked by Pam's. The star of the show is the (newly-acquired) Pico DSP, which I've programmed to a dotted-eighth mono delay.

Art by me, using Aesprite.

Magenta Skyline

And lo, another 0CC piece! Something a bit simpler this time, but I really like some of the arpeggios here, along with timbre of the bass (courtesy of a saw doubled with an FDS patch).

Art made in Aesprite. I'm trying to get better with my lighting.

Periapse

In honor of autumn, that loveliest season, and in honor of one of my favorite songs off Good & Evil.

I had a lot of fun with this one! I constrained myself to not use any samples, with all of the drums being handled by the noise and VRC6 saw channels. In addition, I attempted to pulse-shift the lead in order to match the vowels of Joe's singing, partially inspired by the first entry in this (www.youtube.com/watch?v=lPea6vvu0J0) Siivagunner fusion collab. Hopefully it turned out well!

Art by me. I'm proud of the lighting in this one.

Hymn for a Scarecrow - Chiptune Cover

Hope y'all are taking care and staying safe these days.

~~~

Another cover! Not quite Tally Hall, but something in the neighborhood.

This one was fun for me- I got a kick out of charting some of the solos in the middle, the bouzouki one especially. I think I got some nice timbres out of this one too, the bass (a triangle and MMC5 pulse) and some of the guitars (an FDS patch, a pulse 'blip' with some octave arpeggiation, others).

The 2A03, VRC6, FDS,  and MMC5 channels were used. Art by me, I used a painting style without using layers this time, and I think it turned out pretty good.

Aristotle's Denial - Chiptune Cover

Happy 1 year anniversary to Depths! Missed it by about a day, but it'll do. I had a lot of fun writing this piece, both in rearranging (the melody is loosely adapted from Depths) and with that counterpoint section in the middle. Hope it's as much fun to listen to as it was to make!

Made using the 2A03 and VRC6 chips, mastered in Ableton.
Art made with Aesprite.

Original Description:
"UPDATE:
I'm gonna be probably taking a break from posting new songs for a little bit. Doesn't mean I'm gonna stop making music, though! There are a few larger projects that've been on the backburner for a while, and I really really really wanna finish them and get them out, so- that's where my attention's gonna be at. Stay fresh y'all!

[the rest of the description is what's above]"

Tango Abismo

More digital fusion! Less chiptuney, though, a little more 'cute'. The song is named after a park near my childhood home; I took some inspiration from newer Animal Crossing soundtracks and the work of Louie Zong. I had a lot of fun with it, so hopefully y'all enjoy!

Art, performance, etc, by me. Featuring a sample of the Super Mario World electric piano.

Take care, everyone. Stay healthy and safe. :)
