(please do go listen to it, it's an absolute banger and it's just been stuck in my head for the past few days).

Hey all, Mel here.

I've heard this while watching Borderline Forever, the new feature-length film Scott the Woz put out on his channel (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mhbVUf3yyB0 go watch it btw) and I REALLY LOVED IT like instantly.

I took a few liberties from the original, mainly because with how Scott tends to sing his parts, it would not really translate well to the SNES - I filled out the more empty parts with other stuff, and I modified the end to loop back to the beginning (as if it were a boss theme or something - fitting given the context, IMO).

Made with Chipsynth SFC, limited to 8 voices & under 64k (for samples and echo).

Borderline Forever - Closing In (SNES Remix)

1 - 16 Harmonics

Originally, I was planning on doing this as a full album. I ended up having 12 tracks but after listening I think these 5 were the better ones. I'm trying to trim the fat in a lot of my projects here on out. Especially since all of my past successes have been short projects for whatever reason. (Game Over and my Pokemon EP are easily my most played music). 

If you are into the beats I'm doing, this project and my future projects are a step up for me (imo of course). Enjoy the ride!

Lucid Lake Zone

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

...I seriously haven't released anything using FDS since 2010? Wild...

Anyway, I thought I would cover a classic Chrono Trigger tune. And if you happen to live somewhere that observes DST, you're also a time traveler today!

Widdly 2 Diddly - LISA Soundtrack - 90 Live In Joy

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
