Inspired by the Retro-esq stylings of "Convergence" by Hbystuff ( https://www.newgrounds.com/art/view/hbystuff/convergence ) I created a created a track which features Parallel Harmonies over a dark dungeon synth inspired drone cut through with my signature harsh bitcrushed drums and a lead inspired by the bubbley square leads of of older console RPGs -


I once again wanna mention, I created all of the sounds you're hearing in this track. The drums are something I frequently use in my own music, but the Synths / Plucks were made using a mix of Bitwigs Synth-building functions and just an ungoldly amount of Reverb and Delay I crafted inspired by one of my favorite guitar pedals, the Walrus Audio Fabled Granula Sound Generator.


Tl;dr - I did this track in about four hours after discovering this thread while already starting experimenting with a project. I jumped at the first piece of art that inspired me and fit an asthetic I knew I could produce for in the amount of time it would take me to do some chores I was already seated for.


Thank you all for the feedback and for listening in general, it means a lot to me.

Ok, so this is an interesting piece! It’s definitely not the worse I’ve heard, and at the first half it had some form of melody, at the second half, it’s like 2-3 melodies that don’t go well together all at once, making the feel of randomness. It’s also just repetitive to an unreal amount, which is kinda good if this was used in a horror game.

I see in a game over where you look out of a falling satellite, and is crashing towards a planet, where your final memories before you burn from the satellite catching on fire from the crash, or just the impact kills you, either way, you know your done for. That’s sorta the vibe I get from this!

Yeah, heavily inspired by the music from Dungeon Crawling titles, parallel melodies sort of just walking away from each other as the song goes on. I didn't quitek now if submitting this as a loop would be valid via the rules or not, but in that vein of Dungeon crawling it is something I would imagine looping over the "crawling" portion of gameplay.

The sort of Dungeon I hate in mind based off the picture was one that's sort of between our worl and some darker collapsed world, our player character has to travel deeper into this familiar yet distorted type of envoirnment.

I wish I had some more time to work on it, everything except the drums are sounds I spent a few hours working on today, the reverbs and delay were basically what started me off on working on this to begin with, lol. My goal was to create something similar to the Fable Granular Sound Generator, a pedal by Walrus Audio. Some random granular looping and harmonies bouncing back in the mix. It was a lot of fun, and I personally think I created what I set out to create.

As for the drums, they're a pad I created a long time ago for a lot of horror games I was doing work for. Sampled from my Alesis Nitro kit and ran through a bunch of different bit crushers (both analog and in my DAW).

But yeah, I had a lot of fun for that. The vibe you're getting, that sort of impending doom is what I was going for. No matter how long you wait or where you go (in the song / game in my head), everything will always end and that Metaphorical Satellite is coming and you can't stop it.

Thank you for voting and commenting, It's always a pleasure to get feedback and votes.
