Made in about 50 mins - will check your tracks later! Keep staying awesome, folks!
^_^
Glad to be here, folks! Let's go!
Loosly inspired by the rhythm of speaking that phrase ^_^
Teach me, senpai!
Step 1: connect a buzzer to a PWM output
Step 2a: plug in a photoresistor to modify control voltage to an analog pin
Step 2b: plug in a potentiometer to modify control voltage to an analog pin
Step 3: add a LOT of cables that don't contribute to the circuit, because if you move a flashlight behind them, they will cast additional shadows onto the resistor o.o
Step 4a: write some cheap code that reads photoresistor and poti input, multiply add divide and use all the symbols you always wondered what they might do. make sure that the poti does PWM while the photoresistor deals with pitch (or, well, change the inputs, whatever)
Step 4b: evacuate the building(!!!) before uploading the code, since the portal will open immediately after the program is compiled and active. (if you need more time for evacuation, try using a Delay(ms) timer. It's milliseconds, so just add a few extra zeroes, just in case)
Step 5: record the buzzer output, while waving around with flashlights, messing with the poti and dragging the circuit over the table, because you didn't mount it properly
Step 6: Just add a heapton of FX so that the original input doesn't really matter. Try octaving up and down for weird noises.
Step 7: Make sure you warn potential listeners, because the resulting noises are not always pleasant in the arduino dimension.

Messing around with 8 bit :P
WHAT IS THIS???
you wanted me to do a ska-o-per-aaaaa
iiii don't know what to do for opera or skaaa
let's use a ton of reverb for my voooooice
so that in marvellous tone you can may rejooooice
no time to correct my pitch with autotune
so I'm singing out of key (laptop mic crackle intensifies!)
so you wanted me to do a ska-o-per-aaaaa
and I spent 30 minutes on wikipediaaaaa
I can't play the violin, nor sing - this must be the worst song that I've ever done
I guess it's time to run, before my neighbors come -
Part 1 (0:00 - 0:19): In C Major, I selected a [ I IV V V _ I IV V I ] progression as a basis, but ended the track with a chromatic alteration, using a Dm7b5 (the b5 is borrowed from the parallel minor), to resolve back to C major.
Part 2 (0:19 - 0:33): C Major once more. The progression here is a [ I iii ii ii ] loop for the first half, and then goes other places. I don't actually know how I came up with the second section - some experiments with voice leading, etc.
For some reason, C D# G# sounded really great, so I altered the last ii chord from Dminor to Bm7#5, which really helped transitioning towards that sweet C D# G# chord.
I think it's some sort of secondary dominant, because it's not in the scale of C major (obviously). This one is then followed by a D F B chord, which I don't know how to name either :P It could be a G Dom 7th, just without the G, since it resolves back to the root really well. And we're back in C major. Woohoo!
Part 3 (0:33 - 1:00): The classic Pachelbel progression (thanks, Wikipedia), with a few alterations.
At the end of the first loop, I swapped out the original A major for a C#Augmented (Same notes, just an F instead of the E). For the next A major, I played C# E A# instead, again making use of chromatic notes in the upper voice.
Part 4 (1:00 - 2:07): Destiny - An original collaboration between GerCR and myself. I've borrowed a few chords to spice up the progression. The track is actually in F# Aeolian, but I've changed the v chord from a C# minor triad to a C# major triad. I found it to flow really smoothly that way :)
It was fun how I was reminded of how Johnny warned us about “Generic Fusion Jazz”. The section starting at 1:44 utilizes really weird chords. I can't tell where I borrowed them from, but the exotic flavor is definitely there^^
Finally I think I used a “dominant 7th” trick to end the cadence on a major chord, just that I didn't actually write a dominant 7th… instead it was C#min7 → F#major. I'm actually surprised it worked that well :)
A few drum patterns over Daft Punk's “Derezzed”
I could have saved some time by just downloading the MIDI instead of transcribing. Whoever finds mistakes is free to keep them ^_^
Might or not be inspired by boomer's style :)
I guess poppy painkillers might help. Or not.
Moo.
you break the silence
when I sleep
you haunt me in my dreams
you ignorant creep
you crushed my soul, my anger's blazing deep
you stop me from my goal - to get my beauty sleep!

YEAH! you damn crickets! (x ?)
UH!

nature is attacking me (attacking me, attacking me)
you may listen (but) you can't see (you can't you can't you can't see)
crickets hiding in the tree
in the grass where I can't see

YEAH! you damn crickets! (x ?)

zzzzzz
Actually, the happy chicken vibes only last for a few bars. :P
(Made in a bit more than one hour this time, so it's kinda rushed :) )
Mixed with earbuds. RIP.
I tried to pick a few adjectives for additional inspiration this time...
abstracted, scrawny, periodic
>:D
Limiter might be a bit overdone on this one :3
Can you find them all? :P
(Now with reinforced kick-tri for Adreqi ^^)

Have fun!

Have fun^^
Thanks for your teaching, Panda!
#VaiaChiptune2017
That's for the album (after polish)
GG, WP.
Enjoy!
(I have no actual clue how to get the 90s sound, but here goes nothing!)
Enjoy the ride!
(Okay, maybe it's a bit less dramatic IRL...)
Special thanks to my brother, who showed that track to me in the first place.
He's also the guitarist/bassist here - together, we took turns on recording the percussion elements (guiro, cabasa, shaker, djembe, claps,...), and added some MIDI drumkits.
I'm to blame for the mix and the clarinet elements :D
Out of the mirrors; shadows come alive
The sun goes down; they're coming closer
Children of the stars, our time is running out
Do you really think that
you got what it takes?
Oh no no no!
You cannot save the world
The moon is black; there is no source of
light strong enough to illuminate
The light is gone; they're coming closer
Children of the moon, our time is running out
Do you really think that
you got what it takes?
Oh no no no!
You cannot save the world alone
So let us gather -
unite the forces of us all!
We're together, standing tall!
Yeah, a few votes were pointing at me, I think a few others thought it was Adreqi's work.
Honestly, I wanted to make it sound a bit like DK, and a bit like Entoen. Ironically, as soon as I brought the Aquestone vocal synth in, everyone was certain it was me. (Though, both Entoen and DK already had their tracks played at that point)

Try harder! ... no matter, if you're down.
Don't give up, can you not see? it's not over, you're still around
Try harder! ... don't care what other's say
