World Of Fangreen

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

 [Now studying mastering skills...]

無気力からの過集中で2日ぶりの新曲。
企画書を書こうとした集中力が全部音楽に…。
半年モヤモヤと放置していた曲を再構築。
詰めが甘いけど、でも集中力が切れちゃった。
2 days have passed since my last job.
I rebuilt the song I forgot for half a year.

Realm Of Mind - Movement

Not complete, but a handful of people wanted to hear a clearer version than a phone video from my Instagram story (or GGD's Instagram story since they shared it!). Behold the heaviness of standard tuning.

Full disclosure: I didn't do a single thing to the drums myself. Relying 100% on Nolly's mixing here, using the preset "In Yer Face". Not the proudest of this, but the tool is there, it sounds unreal, and it will be extremely helpful in getting me back into the swing of recording.

For anyone curious, I'm using Line 6 Helix Native for bass and guitar. Thanks to @joshuamluke for pushing me around in my wheelchair and feeding me everything I know

My first release of some experimental cyber-jungle! I really hope to do more of this style soon, so please enjoy!

This is an EP I produced using a few ancient vst plugins by the developer Bojo. All synth sounds come from Impulse, a free 3osc virtual-analog with a brittle, somewhat digital character. Breaks were chopped, processed and layered manually with FL's sampler. Effects come from instances of Bojo's own Overdrive, LoFi, Ring Modulator, Wave-Changer 3, Tremolo and Flanger. Mixed gently with Fabfilter plugins.

Here's to a good start for 2021! fuzion_mixer, with the help of several SunVox artists, came together to make this community remix album possible.
