Thanks For The Invite!

My 5th place entry for N64 month for Dwelling of Duels. Picked an obscure-ass jazz fusion-ass incredibly difficult track to play from Mickey's Speedway USA. Enjoy!

This started as a simple 2 chord sketch on acoustic guitar, recorded back in 2012. I was thinking of using it for the first world of the game, and had called it "Autumn" along those lines. After revisiting it, I thought it might work better for the water world, in which I wanted a chill, laid back vibe. Also, Ian had already done music for the autumn level, and while I think he intended to have me replace all of his work, I was pretty fond of it and inspired by it, so I was more than happy to leave his work in. This production all came together only a few days before the game was released. I spent a good bit of time exploring other ideas for the ocean world, but many did not pan out. I tried mapping notes to the geography of levels, and some pretty weird and interesting phasing ideas, which felt too chaotic. Those tunes actually ended up in the last level of the game.

a thing written for a game jam six months ago that ultimately went unused but i liked it so i thought i'd post it anyway

it's certainly been a while! i may be a bit preoccupied with things this year as i try to get more stable, but i plan on coming back as soon as i can. thanks again for your patience!

This is a comma pump in porcupine which goes up by three 6/5's and then down two 4/3's back to 1/1. I designed it as an example of something that I thought sounded perfectly "natural," but which doesn't work at all in 12-EDO. I'll use this in a piece somewhere down the road.

The tuning here is 22-EDO.

This is mostly goofy experimental music theory stuff to see how different microtonal scales sound - no real musical compositions here (yet)
