Ha, Love xd (prod. junoes)

Found this thing lying around the other day. From 2009. I had good intentions at the time but if I've not done it by now, it's not going to happen. Just a wee muck-aboot, eh.

Did Go Back Again

On 7th December 2023 I was approached via Messenger by Arturo Dente from “Back to the 8 bit” who was making a little Christmas demo with the entries for his "Timebox 64 - Christmas" contest, and he asked me and my brother whether we could make a tune to play during the slide show. Since I was a kid I have always liked to make a Christmas tune per year. Unfortunately, due to "life" (and especially to work), in the most recent years I didn't have the time to do it, with much regret. So I thought that this was a very good chance to renew this "tradition" of mine, and I accepted!

The tune - which is my second try (though usually the definitive version is the third try) - is very simple but catchy, and I tried to incorporate a few peculiar sounds that I associate with Christmas: bells and... zampogna! "Zampogna" is an italian instrument played especially by southern Italy's shepherds during Christmastide. They used to come even to my town when I was a kid, but I haven't seen them for years, and I really miss that sound. That's why when I decided, at the end on 2024, to release the "single" on streaming platforms, to convey this nostalgic mood in the title, but without using the word "nostalgia" and its derivates. How to do it? Well, "nostalgia" is a popular theme all over the world, even in one of my favourite countries: Japan. If you watch "nostalgic" videos you hear people say: "Natsukashii!" all the time. So I decided to title the tune: "Natsukashii KURISUMASU", where "KURISUMASU" is the japanese way to say "Christmas".

“Technically” speaking, the music is very simple, with a few and very common key changes and lots of 9 and 7+ added. Towards the end it switches to minor to symoblize the nostalgia towards the past Christmases, but it ends in major, with zampognas, meaning that anyway that feeling remains, even if we live the present, as we should always do.

I hope you’ll enjoy the tune and spend a merry and meaningful Christmas!

Gyroscope By QuantisticoMusic remix

My honest confession of a journey from jhawk to YakūanDaSarRa'ah.
I didn't always say or carry out situations the right way & in the process I hurt ones close to me but I have today to get it right because I don't know.
One day I could be here & the next day I could be gone so I'm going to right my wrongs in every way where I am given by The Most High to do & what I can't do I'll trust The Most High.

This was done as a test of a new update to the XM-to-Tritone conversion tool (courtesty of @irrlicht-project, many thanks). Said update makes the detune effect match how it behaves in XM modules, making it actually viable to use! Finally some more fine-grained and reliable pitch control for Tritone, it's nice to be able to do some slides and more fine-grained vibratos.

Recorded from Fuse set to Spectrum +2A mode, filtered for audio quality purposes.
