I must go! Fight
A video-game soundtrack
Current weather: 7°C (Sunny)
Liner Notes
For this FAWM I wanted to challenge myself to write 14 songs in one session, using a small portable musical instrument that I've been using more and more: the OP-Z. The OP-Z is a drum machine, sampler, sequencer and synthesizer the size of a TV remote control, and I love how it enables me to quickly sketch out song ideas and write full productions.
In addition to the OP-Z, I also used a Korg "mini kaoss pad 2S" to add some effects to the OP-Z, including reverb, filters, and distortion. During January I practiced with the OP-Z and the Korg, trying to make at least a song per day.
I used Titular (http://muse.fawm.org/titular) to generate the titles for the songs, and it really helped my creative process since I tried to interpret the seemingly random titles. "I must go! Fight" is a super fun title, and I tried to capture it with a song that could be a video-game soundtrack.
I livestreamed my session to YouTube (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7YnyxxMnXpA) in case anyone is interested in seeing the workflow with the OP-Z.

Makes me think of exploring the world map in an old top down NES style game.
Awww... This is nice. Great mix of chiptune sounds and a little bit of funk. The bitcrushed breaks are epic!
OMG this is utterly delicious! I love the layering! 🥰
That high background drone is interesting. It's a little too broad to either be on key or not on key. It's just asserting itself, saying "I belong in the song."
