Relatively ancient music

Posted by Astryl on March 16, 2013, 7:15 p.m.

So just now, in an IRC and Insomnia induced fit of madness, I went hunting down the remnants of my first pieces of music… Or as near as I could get.

Unfortunately, a lot of my older chiptune work is lost (It sank with 8bc).

But I didn't start with chiptune. Nope. I started out using LMMS.

A couple of my older chiptunes are present in my Dropbox folder, and other samples of my music are in an ancient Mediafire account I forgot about until a little while ago.

Anyway, I decided to post the links to these so you can hear how I started out. Most it is pretty much crap, though the one was actually included in a game…

I'm listing these in what I think is more or less chronological order.

And without further ado…

(Note, all Mediafire files were moved to DropBox… I hate Mediafire…)

Concept87

A lesson in repetitiveness…

Shooting Star

This was made for a game, oddly enough. I label it an accidental success. It's not really a chiptune, though it makes use of the Pooboy VSTi (A Gamebody synth plugin).

I even reworked it… twice…

Shooting Star - Revision 2

Shooting Star - Revision 3

And then I went through my 'adding VST/Sample instruments to a MID is music lol' phase: Some Castlevania MID or the other

Something I did for somebody. Can't remember the details.

Another not-really-chiptune done in LMMS: https://dl.dropbox.com/u/11942397/Old%20Music/Loop.mp3

And this… https://dl.dropbox.com/u/11942397/Old%20Music/SMLoop.mp3

I have absolutely no idea what the hell this was…

Oh, and here's my first chiptune done in Famitracker. It was a cover of the Megaman 1 Boss Select screen -_-

Another early one I can't remember much about, except that I told sk8m8trix I'd try make it during a very late night IRC session…

That's enough of the old

My ears are hurting now…

Anyway, I'll sign off and start thinking of going to bed…

And I leave you with a piece I'm working on… that isn't a chiptune at all…
