Challenge Groovebox-4 2025

8bit is punkier than your mom

May 2025 "Groovebox Four" Challenge. This track was made with only 4 tracks (4 instruments), including the drums.
1 track must be monophonic, and actually 2 of them are as fully arpeggiated.
A lot of automations applied to the tracks with different FX.

Four is enough

This is my contribution to the "Groovebox Four" challenge. It's a live recording of a jam played with Nanoloop.

The goal of the Groovebox Four challenge is to produce a song no longer than 3 to 4 minutes and using no more than 4 tracks.

Nanoloop Two is a sequencer/synthesizer cartridge for the Game Boy Advance. I bought my cartridge about 2 months ago, and this is the result of my first attempt.

The song was played live and recorded as a single stereo track with an old Zoom H2. A few effects (filter, reverb, chorus, and compression) were added to this single master track.
