wrote game/music for brackeys jam. its alright. not great. i think that the melodies/structures themselves are alright. but i exclusively used magic 8 for those songs,
which made sense cause time constraint/im not really good enough to use "real sounds"/ it fit with the simple 1 bit visuals. but the actual sound quality was questionable.
even for magic 8 bit. anyways i want to get back into sampling/ripping snes stuff/just writing music. or maybe just writing music for hyper_storm specifically, since its already
"finished", and i can focus on just writing music for it rather than coding. but if i get better at music, i wont be able to do the illustration cause the music will be "too good"
for 1 bit art. not actually "too good" its just real sounding sounds dont really fit monochrome. anyways thats a problem for tomorrow/whoever i get to do art for me
axelay test intro one

was ripping samples from lots of snes stuff, particularly axelay. finally got my snes cart loaded too, so i can actually play all those old shmups. gonna play gradius 3, the r types,
axelay, there were a couple other ones. anyways they have really nice sounds. wanna try and touch on those.
axelay test intro two

wanted to have the cool atmospheric creepy sounds to clear bright sounds in the beginning, but i wanted to get the song out so i didnt bother to clean it up. so its just kinda there.
the kinda cool back/forth thing that the strings are doing was not me, its just the samples looping since im playing a few of them at different pitches and theyre different speeds cause pitch up/down
which i thought was funny cause its like the nicest part of this track imo and it was on accident lol. whatever ill take what i can get
trumpet doesnt sound quite right. its a little harsh. also the melody is pretty simple. not a lot of change. which is fine but i still want to have more sections with more variance eventually.
the actual axelay intro has all these different samples/sections/melodies/animations, its really fucking sick. for the love of god just google it its like two minutes its fucking awesome
