getting some really heavy PS2 vibes here, I am love with the different synth tones keep it up!!

happy new year everyone!

in 2021, i graduated in june with a BS in chemistry and soon after began working at my first full-time professional job. clearly, the past five years of undergrad put a strain on my will to continue the music i've been making since middle school, and keeping up with the online communities i've embraced pretty much since then as well.

i've known full-well that even during my years of pseudo-inactivity, music is something that i will return to time and time again as my passion, no matter how often it waxes and wanes.

being 23 now, change is a very frequent part of my life in pretty much all facets i can think of, which is as exciting as it is chaotic. this year, i hope to rely on music to ground me in my personal chaos, as it's been a comfort of mine that i've indulged in since the age of 11. even after straying away, coming back to OpenMPT never feels foreign.

this year i will devote more time to my music endeavors. working a 9-5 makes me realize how valuable my time is; how i need to really block out time to sit down and create amid balancing my work life, social life, and sleep. it's been a challenge so far, but still very manageable, and fun! it's quite rewarding to have it all feel adequately balanced.

new years is probably my favorite holiday, for symbolizing a fresh start which encourages change. the identity of a musician is something i've shied away from in recent years, and i aim to change that this year. so let me hold myself accountable in this statement, and please enjoy this little tune :-) i think i doodled up the main melody for this song sometime in like 2019, so it's been a long time coming!!! (i think i actually started truly composing a song out of it in december though :P)

thank you all for your continued support and encouragement. every little snippet i've posted on twitter, and occasional OHC upload over the past period of general inactivity has been met with excitement and anticipation for more music to come. it truly touches me to see it, and it only motivates me to keep on at it.

スコアのない曲を耳コピして勉強時代！
３面のAcross The Tubeも超好きで採譜してた。
ローリングサンダー２の音楽は本当サイコー。超好き。

フェードインしてくるコーラス、もっとパンを速く回したデータを入れてたんだけど、処理が追いついてないアハハハ

♪ ♫ It's got some enormous eyes, 
It's soft so doesn't fossilize, 
I've got a feelin', 
I want an octopus. 

It eats crabs but doesn't ever drink, 
So where does it get all that ink? 
I've got a feelin', 
I want an octopus. 

It fits through gaps, 
Just half an inch small... 
It's got eight legs, 
Now I want six more! ♫ ♪

ChipWINter Wilderness

I Want An Octopus

This song is from the first installment of Nintendium-118, a (hopefully) annual collaborative project hosted by Teuthida through the PSG Cabal! Entrants were tasked with creating a chiptune song inspired by a randomly-assigned element. The collab was open to composers of all skill levels and styles, leading to a very diverse (and very good) set of tracks.
You can download the album in .flac or .mp3, respectively, through these links:

Creayed by Dimeback (@dimeback)
"Titanium is a high strength transition metal with a shiny silver color. It can be alloyed with other metallic elements (such as iron, aluminum, and vanadium, just to name a few) to produce strong, lightweight alloys for aerospace. This specific application serves as the base inspiration for this song's feel."

Dimeback - Titanium Star Parlor

My entry for VGMusic's Sample Pack Contest XII (tied for 4th out of 75 songs). 
My longest musical work yet and basically my attempt at slow-moving Kohei Tanaka-style orchestra.
Most of the symphonic instruments here (trumpet, trombone, oboe, violin, flute, etc.) were crafted based on the one radix.wav sample. The title also means "greed is the root of evil" in Latin.

We're once again running the next compo (SPC 13, Halloween edition) in the VGMusic discord, so join us~
