golly gee whillikers! it's time for me to share my daily song video + commentary! wowow
<-- the previous day's song | the next day's song -->
today's song is: Viridescent Isle of Vestiges, for the SNES's soundchip SPC700
this one has the most striking scale out of the bunch of just-intonated Super Islands songs, in my opinion. there's some really gnarly clusters of close tones and other super wide gaps. you can hear in some of the descending lines (and look at them in the playback video, though you can't see the specific notes) how close some of them sound. it was fun to play around with that! it would be interesting to try this same scale out in a more chorale-like setting, too, to focus on the subtle shifts.
the sounds this time were all taken from various DS & GBA Pokemon games. DPP saxophone immediately became one of my favorites 8) i put a big focus on the various drum parts and was kinda inspired by Balkan Beat Box, Gogol Bordello and friends for the style of tune.
