First of the dailies, made after returning from the hospital from a Multiple Scleroris flare-up, with my left eye still not working.  Started composing with Schism Tracker, moved to Renoise when the sound became too bland even for my tastes.

Xtense - Addled

Second of my dailies. Felt a little hippy-hoppy for some reason, but with a dark mood, decided "what the hell" and went with it. Tracked completely in Renoise, with my own vocals processed through Melodyne (I can't sing worth shit). Dialogue samples from David Firth's "Health Reminder" and "Take This Pill" flash animations. 

Lyrics:

(Analysis: You Are Ill)

Mostly a normal guy
With my generic life
Nothing strange is here
Neither far nor near

Sitting every day
At the computer display
Just biding my time
With my own little mind

One late night i stayed
Working my boring wage
When out the corner of sight
I started turning blind

I knew just what this had meant:
You may not comprehend.
Brain was attacked from inside
By my own body tonight

It's only Sclerosis Multiplex

(Now keep your head down, be faithful to pain and knuckle on through. It will be over before you know it.)

Everyday in fear:
What may happen in here
My eyes not focusing in 
Sleep does not intervene

Another day I might lose
The feeling of my contours:
My hand decided to play
"stay dead" while I was working away

The legs are up in revolt
Not doing what they are told
Not to mention the hate
I get from others of late

They say I'm faking it all
Pretending to go easy on call
No way of showing them my pain
So I just stay right out of their way

It's still just Sclerosis Multiplex

(Analysis: You Are Ill)

I keep on hoping that
My fate will turn around, yet I
Fail to see what is right in front of me,
My friend.

I'll just keep losing myself
Until I remain brainless and held
As a potted plant in my little wheelchair,
Dear friend.

[Stwardnienie Rozsiane to przewlekła choroba układu nerwowego o nieznanej przyczynie, przebiegająca z okresami rzutów i remisji. Za powstawanie objawów odpowiedzialny jest zanik osłonek nerwowych. Symptomy pojawiają się w zależności od umiejscowienia zmian. Przebieg choroby jest nieprzewidywalny, objawy pojawiają się nieoczekiwanie i nagle, następnie zmniejszają się lub całkowicie ustępują – choroba przechodzi w stan remisji, jednak po różnie długim czasie następuje nawrót choroby.]

(This lesson has ended. Now go back into the world and constantly think about how unhealthy you are).

Xtense - Health Reminder

Third daily. Decided to screw trying too hard and made something simple and fun, so there you have it - a synth intro, a cocktease and SAMBA SEQUENCES ALL THE WAY WOOO. Sample source: The Twelve Tasks of Asterix - Isle of Pleasure Samba.

Xtense - Pleasure Island

Fourth daily, a simple chiptune made with GoatTracker2 for the 8 bit Commodore 64 soundchip, MOS Technology SID 6581. Instruments shamelessly stolen from one of the example tunes distributed with GoatTracker, funktest.sng, AKA Cadaver - Covert Ops in 2D (funktempo) - sorry about that, don't feel good enough to write instrument tables by myself right now.

I had ideas up to the first two minutes, after that the steroids kicked in and i just kinda slumped mentally, deciding "fuck it, gonna fade out".

Xtense - lda #$3b;sta $d011

Today the steroids kicked in really hard and I literally couldn't focus on anything. Trying to track anything worthwhile in Renoise ended me with a huge mess of regret and bad feelings, so I decided to dump everything I made up to that point apart from the custom drum pattern and fit it in as a very crappy remix of Alexander Brandon's "Camanis" from the Tyrian OST, a track I have a huge sentiment for.

Xtense - Camanis By Winter

Made for Riverwash 7 (2015), took 6th place in the Freestyle MSX compo.

Z dedykacją dla Justynki :* .
