hello there! do you know what time it is? it's time for me to post a SONG. one (1) tracker or DAW video per day with cohost-exclusive commentary about the SONG. that's what we're doin'! 😎

<-- the previous day's song | the next day's song -->

today's song is: Dryads & Wisps at Play, for the SNES's soundchip SPC700

this song was very deliberately inspired by the vivid energy of my friend @amimifafa's music! some time ago, after playing around with speeding up my own music, i realized that a key aspect of making music like hers is to accelerate my own harmonic rhythm by some multiplier. it doesn't come easily to me, and took a lot of adjusting and tweaking, but ultimately i was pleased with the result of my stepping outside the box a bit.

Dryads & Wisps was originally actually a tiny (8kb) .it module tune and half the length, but since i wanted Elemental Harmony to be a fully chiptune EP, i re-wrote it as a SNES .spc tune with C700 (and wrote more music). i was already using SNES samples so the process wasn't too difficult; and i got to add more flavor in vibrato and articulations. actually there was an interim phase where i just tried to reconfigure my module to work with SNESMOD (.it to .spc converter), but after way too many hours of bug-fighting i simply had to give up. and for that matter, the sound quality out of C700 was shockingly better; definitely made the right decision there.

i want to make more tunes as bouncy as this one! i think there's something to be said for the 2/4 meter. easier to subdivide and break out of the even pattern.
