Faithful Dreaming (Final Escape ~Reprise~)

1 - 16 Harmonics

it recently occured to me that ive never actually covered any castlevania songs before. obviously, this had to be rectified as soon as possible.
i hope you can all appreciate the herculean vice-grip on my psyche it took to not make this cover's title something cum-related.

It hasn't been too long since I last thanked everyone for pushing me to 20k listens, and as of writing we're at more than double that! I'm super happy y'all like my stuff, and I'm glad I can share it with you. Thank you all for the patronage and support!

I'd say this is my magnum opus as far as "meme mashups" goes. It's both listenable and filled with memes, which isn't a given in this business! It also took longer than I expected - sorry it was released a little behind schedule, life's been busy.

Also, a question to the comments: what are your opinions on apricots? A little random, but I want to gauge popular sentiment on this.

orange 40 (aphelion backrooms track # 13)

Intro track for Rusty Seas! This project was incredibly fun to work on (almost as fun as the game itself.) 
The game is a hybrid beat 'em up/salvaging game, and is up on Kickstarter right now, if you're reading this when it was posted. Please give it a look!!!

Electric Awoos

The advanced level theme is so frantic! The gameplay is in the advanced levels, too. You should give 'em a try.

Salvage Shuffle

This is the main level theme for Rusty Seas, which you should totally check out here!

This is the overworld theme for hybrid beat 'em up/salvaging game, Rusty Seas! I really enjoyed working on this and would greatly appreciate you checking out its kickstarter!!

Sand of Northshore

This was definitely my favorite track to work on in the project thus far, but I'm hoping to get the chance to do more. Please check out the kickstarter for the game, and maybe we can make that happen! https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/rustyseas/rusty-seas

Here come the mini bosses!

Undercity Danil

This theme is for one of my girlfriend's characters, Merf. Merf is morose, a little too smart for her own good, and standoffish. She's got deep-seated reasons for all of this. Ones that keep her up at night. 
Here's hoping she'll learn how to love others someday -- or at least love herself.

Fight Sunlight

Original Orange

Short work for string quartet in just intonation. This work uses 17-limit just intonation (although no 13s are present) and the ratios are annotated in the score.

The sounds are from Note Performer (an orchestral instrument library available for use with Sibelius Software) and the microtonal adjustments were made using the pitch bend feature inside of Sibelius.

Etude for String Quartet in Just Intonation No. 1

Samples:
The Killers - Somebody Told Me

ZZZ Told Me

Crazy Halation

This track is an example of a simple twelve bar backing track accompanying a solo melody written in free Just Intonation (JI).

JI allows access to all the frequencies, not just the ones on the piano keyboard or guitar frets. Often musicians when playing the blues, jazz, or guitar solos, bend the string to produce a higher pitch. In this track, there are no 'bent' notes, only precisely specified notes which are often noticeably different to the standard notes from 12-EDO.

Some devices used include:
- No scale - only addressing frequencies (in Hz) directly via whole numbers. E.g. 4, 5, 6 multiplied by 60 Hz would give 240Hz, 300Hz, 360Hz directly.
- Descending harmonic series, e.g. 32, 31, 30, 29, 28, 27, 26, 25, 24, 23, 22, 21, 20, 19, 18, 17, 16
- What sounds like vibrato, but is actually a combination of holding and sliding pitches several times a beat
- Rapid switching of frequency several times a beat, this is a common chip tune device.
- Descending shifting triads, e.g. 61, 54, 47, 56, 49, 42, 51, 44, 37, 46, 39, 32...

Just Intonation is the future for those of us who like both maths and music! I understand that not everyone wants numbers in their music composition. However, that's fundamentally what frequencies are, thats what harmony is, a combination of whole numbers. And you get more interesting results when using the numbers for what they are, which is unique chords well outside of traditional harmony. I am particularly enjoying the sound of the prime numbers 11, 13, 23, 29, 31, 41, 43 and 61 in this composition.

May the prime numbers be with you! Enjoy - Dave
