Furnace 2K24: It's Been A Strange Year

2025-01

vocals

Welcome to the first of the final soundtrack batches leading up to the demo release! It's been a long ride, and we at Team Chroma hope you enjoy what's coming!

About this track!
The last intermission track to be posted for the demo. I kind of got carried away with this and it ended up being longer than previous intermission tracks; I guess you could say I was... inspired? Aren't I a riot!

Anyway, if you want to follow our progress day-by-day or get in contact with us, join our community discord server! We are effectively always able to be reached on there.

And as always, the download to this track and all others is open. If you intend on using this in something to be published again (videos, remix, etc.), please give credit where credit is due.

Cover art is done by me, just like the other tracks. Here's a little information about the game:
What is Sonic Chroma? Chroma is an HD 2D Sonic fan-game based entirely around trying to jam as many new, experimental, and creative elements into one Sonic game as we can while keeping it as fun as possible. New elements you may see in gameplay include ideas that may be normally considered "taboo" for Sonic games, ideas that you may have never even heard or thought of, or ideas that you may have already thought of and dreamed to see in a Sonic game one day whether it's official or fanmade.

The people behind this project (that's us!!!) are a team of earnest, mostly college-faring people from all over the world who decided to get together to create, just like how every other team has aimed for, what we feel is the most fantastic and from-the-heart Sonic experience as we can.

What sets Chroma apart from the rest is that our goal is to combine a whole buffet of fresh or otherwise unseen ideas with the classic Sonic formula to carefully craft and bring you an HD hybrid game. Why only let you play unique levels, give you new art to gawk at and new music to listen to, when we could also give you an entirely unseen gameplay experience on top of all that? It's the logical next step, and we're proud of working to see it realized.

If you have any questions, want to contact us, or are just feeling even remotely bored, join our community discord server via the link above. We hope to see you there!

Sonic Chroma - Overture Oasis (Intermission) - Inspiration [OST]

Chiptune Song: I'm Not The Same

This instrumental cover kind of came out of the blue. I've always loved the version of the song featured in the 1965 film version of "The Sound of Music", sung by Julie Andrews, and used the vibes from my recent FUSION DANCE collab album (with @that-andy-guy ) & Study Buddy album as sonic blueprints for the direction I wanted to take this cover in. I also was heavily influenced by the works of my friend @sylcmyk !

Shady Monk - My Favorite Things (Originally from 'The Sound of Music')

I really dig Mario Kart 8's jazzy credits music, so I took the sample & flipped it.

In loving memory of Funky Kong. 1994-2014. You will be missed.

Sonic CD - Stardust Speedway Good Future [Throwback FM Mix]

Hey, long time no see! Sorry for the lack of content, life got busy as it often does and I hadn't really had an opportunity to do much. In any case, what got me to finally compose something after a long stretch of nothing was another uni assignment, and I'm glad it got me to compose again because it's always a blast being able to look back and say "hey I made that"! Let's hope for good results :)

Sega PSG (SMS) + YM2413 OPLL (FM Expansion)

Made for the SMS Power! Music Competition 2024. An original tune I wrote for both the YM2413 (OPLL) chip and the Sega PSG chip. My inspirations were of cutesy 80's anime opening/closing themes.

TAL-Pha Silica
Release date 11/22/24
Available at https://www.luftrum.com/silica-soundset-for-tal-pha/

-------------------
We are excited to introduce Silica, a soundset for TAL-Pha, featuring 150 carefully sculpted patches inspired by the retro-futuristic sounds of the mid-80s, combined with a modern, cinematic twist.

So, what is TAL-Pha you may ask? It’s a faithful emulation of the Roland Alpha Juno II, an iconic analog synth released in 1985, with the MKS-50 as its rack version. The synth was used by artists like Orbital, Vince Clarke, Faithless, Massive Attack, The Prodigy, Howard Jones and many more.

TAL-Pha offers the classic analog sound of the hardware, but is further enhanced with modern flexibility and many additional features (it even reads sysex from the hardware).

In Silica, you will find everything from animated synth arpeggios to fat bass lines and basses, supported by lush pads and a wide selection of vibrant poly synths and keyboard sounds, that evoke the sounds of the mid-80s. There’s also a selection of hybrid drum loops, soundscapes and sound effects. The result is a versatile collection designed to be instantly usable, with no fillers, just authentic, character-rich synth goodness, that works equally well for retro-inspired productions or cutting-edge modern media.

Influences include classic artists of yesteryear, such as Vince Clarke, OMD, Howard Jones, Fluke, FSOL, and The Prodigy, with strong ties to today’s modern composers such as Mac Quayle (Mr. Robot), Cliff Martinez (Neon Demon), and Lorne Balfe (Ghost in the Shell).

We have teamed up with TAL to bring you 10% discount on TAL-Pha. With your Silica purchase, you will receive a code that can be used to get 10% off TAL-Pha, but the code isn’t limited to TAL-Pha, you can also use it to save on other TAL products.

November 22: TAL Software is having a Black Friday sale with 20% off their products. This discount stacks with the 10% that comes with Silica, so you can get a total of 30% off by using the code included with Silica – but only for a very limited time!

Here's a try at a chilled out menu track. More of an "idea" than anything but let's see if Hyper Sonic Fan likes it :).

Hyper Quest 2 Menu

This track, for the ones that follow my channel, never was uploaded here because after uploading it there, I didn't think It sounded really good. My objective with my soundcloud is to filter what I think is my best content and upload it here.
So finally, thanks a request to upload it here from Axanery, I decided to give this track some major improvements (specially the second half of the theme).

Sonic CD - [Past] Palmtree Panic (REMIX)

Finally a shift away from HyperCanvas! I have recently bought and been using a Yamaha MU90, and my god I love this thing.
