❄️ An instrumental cover of the hymn In the Bleak Midwinter ("Cranham") by Gustav Holst. I put a rompler-heavy spin on it, inspired by the music of Bill Wurtz! ❄️ ♫

While making this, I was picturing the scene of a kid receiving a little old Casio keyboard for Christmas in the 2000s and trying out all the sounds. The majority of sounds I used are from the Roland Sound Canvas VST, some are from the Korg M1 VST, and others are soundfonts. I had a lot of fun with production stuff like reverb, bitcrushing, mid/side EQ, compression and panning on this one!

This track was originally released as part of the "Christmasasaurus Unleashed!" compilation album organised by Bubblegum Octopus in 2023: https://christmasasaurus.bandcamp.com/track/in-the-bleak-midi-winter

Gustav Holst wrote his hymn using the words from the poem "In the Bleak Midwinter" Christina Rossetti. The hymn was published in 1906, so it's public domain!

In the Bleak MIDI-Winter

Fast instrumental music blending the sounds of Nintendo (and adjacent) game soundtracks with elements of funk-fusion, prog rock, electronic dance music and pop.
