Man, botb is really excellent when it comes to getting good cover art for your songs.

Anyway.
Made another chiptune that is closer to the stuff from a couple of years ago. This is also a slightly different version than the one on BOTB because I messed something up and you can't reupload on there. Kind of a theme with me.

Thanks for listening <3
If you like it, you know the drill, like, share and stuff so maybe some algorithm picks it up.

------------------------------
Congratulations, you have been selected to accompany the first expedition to Callisto.
We set out to explore the moon after our scanners picked up a signal from the surface that tripped them up. It is a clear sign of intelligent life. But the most unusual thing about the signal is that your name and the word "cure" could be unmistakably decoded from the message several times. Whatever it is, you are a key asset on this mission.

Months later, after a long and arduous journey, your team has made it. Your capsule has landed safely on Callisto. You have never been so nervous in your life and a mixture of pure dread and childlike anticipation is raging inside you. Unfortunately, the expedition will not take place until the early hours of the next morning and you will have to spend a 17 earth-day long night in your capsule before you can solve the mystery of what the signal is all about.

Are you a cure for them, do they want to cure you or do they want you to sing a song from the cure. You will soon find out.

This one goes out to all the "attpåklats" out there ;)
The youngest one in the herd.

Kubbi's done an impressive job mastering this track, there were a few elements from the composition that I haven't heard this clearly since earlier versions of this track :D

The chorus is heavily inspired by one of my favourite musicians: Mosaik and his wonderful "Leandi".

Heyyyyyyy!!!!!! :) :) :) 
This is my new song for the NES / FamiCom / Pegasus platform.
As usual it's standard 5-channels song for the stock machine with Ricoh 2A03 chip only. 
The concert / live version of the song (2018) is here:

Enjoy. ;)

Yerzmyey - Return to Taured

Hai!

Wasn't in the mood to make music for quite a while now, yayx... Well about half a year. But finally sat down to make some ko0xish chip stuff again. This time for the 13 iteration of battle of the bits Winter Chip.
Wild Chip because I don't want to limit my stuff to a few kilobytes anymore. Not enough patience to make something sound ok and keep it below a certain size. I'll let the youth do such shenanigans.

Hope you enjoy it and thanks in case someone leaves a like, comment etc <3

Thanks for listening <3

Botb song description because empty is boring:

This song is about flies from another dimension that can travel through time...guess you didn't think about that, did you? It's not about entropy, the death of the universe or that we all gotta go, no, it's about space insects. Tiny....or huge, 6 legged, flies who eat space stuff...or time, idk.

And only YOU know it since you read the description. So in the insanely unlikely event that anyone is gonna talk about this song and talks about the passing of time, you can "actually" him.

Cheers my dude!

That's a lot of text. 
Cheers if you read all =)

Just a little WIP I had lying around.

Hi. It's a 6-channels song for one SID chip (6581). 
Composed in 2019 on The C64 Mini and recorded from it. 

The song is kind of a test I made to check out two things: 
- is the Polyanna tracker for C64 any good? Yes. It can play 8 channels or 6 channels on one SID chip, on a regular Commodore 64 (the old SID is required). 
- is The C64 Mini computer any good? Yes. Most of the stuff - including sound - works much better that I expected. 

As for the Polyanna tracker by Aleksi Eeben - here are a few words from the programmer: 

"
Polyanna is a 8-channel music editor for Commodore 64. It plays 3 regular SID channels together with 5 emulated SID channels on a stock machine. Old SID chip (6581) is required. The mixer is based on Sid Vicious, a SID emulator I wrote for VIC 20 in 2006. For optimal performance the emulated channels in Polyanna are optimized for pulse waveform only. Pulse width
modulation and envelopes are of course supported, although they're rough. Don't expect too much! :) There is also an optional 6-channel mode with improved sound quality:
- 8 channels: 3 regular SID + 5 emulated channels @4.4kHz
- 6 channels: 3 regular SID + 3 emulated channels @7.7kHz
"

As for The C64 Mini, I like the machine; it's good for games; it's also kind of good for making stuff: although the disk-drive speed is more/less the same like on the original C64 (You can speed it up a bit but sometimes it may cause problems with loading, so anyway I use the standard floppy speed only) - however here You have also 4 slots for snapshots, for each diskette. Instant saving / loading the song while composing is a very nice & useful feature. Really comfortable. When You finished composing - You can normally save the final song into the diskette (the *.d64 file) and move it anywhere - into an emulator, into a real diskdrive and the original C64 - and so on. 

So anyway - some more 'crunchy' sound sometimes - isn't any faulty procedure of the C64 Mini SID - Aleksi says it sounds the same way on the original C64 (and it doesn't work at all on the C64 with a new SID, we checked it out already). 
Also - it might sound even better but I made the song in a wrong way - being corrected by Aleksi too late :) - he said that it's more reasonable to use low sounds on the emulated channels and high pitch sounds on the hardware channels. Which I might figure out by myself if I only took this effort to read the instruction, haha (the "7.7kHz" fragment might give me a clue ;-) ). 

You can notice the problems with keepin' tempo too, hehe. But this sound-engine is really a killer for the Commodore, hehe. The computer does what it can. 

I dedicated this song to my Kate because she is a mathematician by penchant - and a programmer by profession, so she can appreciate how tired the 986 Hz processor is, playing this stuff (yes, I use PAL). :-P
Also, she likes 80s style of music. :-)

Hey ♥

I dug up an old never released chiptune of mine to morph it into a 32k mod for battle of the bits 'Rare formats'. And it made 1st place ♥♥♥

Title is literally the first thing the song name generator spat out and it was spot on! I mean, this sounds like there went a lot of thinking into the title and it has some kind of backstory, doesnt it? Well it doesn't,...but I still love it.

To all my non chip techy people, keep in mind that 32kb is not that much to work with and this isn't as overloaded as usual. Hope you still like it ♥

Hey again ♥

I had to make my own time machine because they don't make them like they're going to anymore. But so far mine only lets me travel at 1x speed into the future.

OK.

Another old tune finished for botb.
Started in 2009. Oof.

Ahoi!
Another old tune I had lying around and couldn't finish half a decade ago. A slighty bluesy sea shanty chiptune. Because that's what the world needed...
But no more boring text, here, have some more good and or funny results when putting nautical terms into a song name generator:

- Early Morning Sinking
- Captain Of Nothing
- Ghost in My Shrimp
- We Shall Sink
- Don't Eat Shrimp Off The Sidewalk
- Can't Take My Ships Off You
- You've Lost That Heartless Shrimp
- Storm In Disorder
- A Lot Of People Tell Me I Have A Fake Shrimp
- It Hurts To Shoot Kraken From Your Seven Seas, But It's Necessary

If this song means "free of charge Kraken" or
"free the Kraken" is entirely left to your imagination.

And in case you have no plans for the day, how about you follow me on youtube (youtube.com/ko0x) and twitter (twitter.com/tehko0x).

That is all ♥

Soundtrack to Number Delver; an educational math game from developer hackranch.

Number Delver - In-Game

The final installation of the "Robot Trilogy" of Candela demos. In this restoration, I really wanted to just up the fidelity of the mix, and not poke around too much in the original MIDI. Well, I may have fixed a drum fill or two...

The demo itself, if somewhat rough around the edges, really felt like the culmination of the formula we established with Fair Play To The Queen, but with a proper ending. Always nice.

Mix updated Jan 2023

Hi.
I made a Song. I do that sometimes. And since there's a Fakebit category on BotB Summer Chip X, I pretty much had to.

Don't ask about the songname...I don't really know. I just thought it fits because the chord progression is sorta slice of life-y.

Thanks for listening <3

Just a sneaky little edit to align better with THIS AWESOME THING
