My entry for the August 2021 Image-Line forum music competition.

Rules:
Only two samples allowed -- kick and snare. No volume variations.
All other sounds must be made with the Fruity DX10, a 3-op FM synth. No plugins allowed, and no filters.

As a personal rule, I decided to not use any of the DX10 presets, as I figured I'd take the opportunity to learn some FM synthesis. It really is a weird and not-at-all-intuitive process, more akin to riding a dragon than the brainy work involved in something like Harmor. Had a blast, though!

Mega Man Zero 4 - Holy Land [FMBlaster!]

TOHO QUEST - Chapter 8/13
========
After Hoot’s story of being cast away from her kind, she leads Toho and Otoh to a great door that’s said to be her only way back to her home. She has been put asleep since her exile, and is now able to return thanks to the help of Toho and Otoh! She touches the door, and the room turns white… Suddenly, the three find themselves high above the sky on a floating island! Ruins of Hoot’s past are scattered across the small purple pastures… Could Hoot’s kind have been the original keepers of the tune? Toho, Otoh, and Hoot explore to find out.

An Island In The Stars

SOUNDSHOCK is back to conclude the FM FUNK trilogy. FM FUNK NIRVANA!! brings you 16 new tracks by 19 uniquely talented musicians, from four different continents, using an arsenal of 17 different hardware and software FM synthesizers. 

Although this release marks the end of the series, our hope is that we’ve inspired listeners and musicians enough to carry our message further, and to keep reinventing FM sounds for decades to come! "That is", in the words of Tsuyoshi Shimokura, "not a sad thing." No indeed; rather, we believe this calls for celebration: let’s get it started!

GET ALBUM

Shnabubula - Zithro to the Max

Made for round 2 of s3xmoditmania V. Placed 5th/23.

Star Garden (.it)

I wanted to take another swing at the night time overworld theme for ECO's first season, so I did. I wanted to get a little more of the celtic influence that eastern Basker is supposed to have into the song for one thing, and for another, I wanted to work in Basil's theme. Lastly, I wanted to maintain a few key parts of the original, and I think I managed to do all those at least passably. Some notes (especially in the intro) sound sour to me though. May work on this more at somepoint. :V

Blend-o-Matic 2000

New Track, I'm back!  This track contain elements from a concept I'm still working on; Starlight Pursuit. : )

Searching In The Twilight

Art by Renz!
Theme of Basil, the drunken knight from ECO. I'd been meaning to take another crack at his theme for ages. I wanted to capture his weird, vainglorious nature, bizarre sense of chivalry, drinking problems and general social confusion all in one spot. Turns out that's hard to do!
Basil's brain is perpetually in fairy-tale mode, and I'm pretty sure he doesn't know how... anything works. He's a good fella, just not a very good choice for the 7th Chosen One, though.

The  Drunken  Knight

Brought back an old song for Return to Aloha! The album's coming along at a glacial pace due to a bazillion other things dominating my life at the moment (chiefly things to do with the upcoming novel release!) I hope this song (and this adorable drawing of Capel by Renz!) will bring you some joy in the meantime. 
I think the song sounds very much like a busy place, so I figured "Workzone" would be a pretty good title for it. Also one of the few times I've gotten to do major key in the Capel albums!
