It's been ages since i've done chiptune, but why not. I like trying different genre's, instead of my usual techno or hip hop.
The whole thing is a chiptune track, without any cheats or additions. It's as close to the original limitations as possible, including 4 channels (2 square, 1 triangle, 1 noise), and it's done with a rave shine to the whole thing, despite it being more or less chiptune. I tried to cram in a lot of varied melodies, and chord shifts, as well as make sure there is a groove to the whole thing, since the drums are white noise. This one also has a bit of a crazy ending, where we speed up from 165bpm to 180bpm and we have a bit of a crazy solo-ish melody, followed by a polyrhythm finish to the final hit. All in all it's something different from me, hope you enjoy!
Feeling the pressure, I can't afford to delay
Hairpin turns and winding roads
Amidst the doubts, my fire still glows
Destined to conquer, not destined to fail
I yearn for something more, to break this chain
Empty and drained, but the journey's not in vain
I'll find the strength, to push through the strain
to push through the strain
to push through the strain
I'm racing against the clock
I'm racing against the clock
And I'm
Running
out of
time,
the minutes slip away
But I
won't surrender,
I'll
fight
through
the gray
In
this
emptiness
Running out of time
I haven't made any techno in awhile.
ALLOVEVERYEAR
open up the door
turn your handle to the floor
crystallized, frozen shut
nothing there to pull you up
remember something that you saw
once
pull out that hairpin
so you can begin
to fight for your freedom one last time
before the call comes in from the other line
Feeling put together in a beautiful sundress
Hair looking sharp got a butterfly hairpin
The sun is burning but she's sat in the shade
Sipping on a gin and tonic
Hasn't rained in days makes a girl quite thirsty
Read in the news it'll storm all next week
A hosepipe snakes around in the grass
Colours burning bright on the flowers
And she makes a note
Magic marker pen
Draws a heart again
There's a bumblebee
On the lavender
In the garden
And she makes a note
Magic marker pen
Draws a heart again
And she's never taken
such a fresh breath
of air
