And boy howdy what a offering to Cirno this was. You outdone yerself lad. This really does sound like a Keygen straight outta two-thousand AND five. How is this only your second song on here? How long have you been making these anyway? This song shows some mastery over the music programs you use.

In a first for me, this is my contribution for Cirno Day this year, with something quite magical, quite unique, and something kinda space-y: a spacesynth cover/arrangement of her theme "Beloved Tomboyish Girl" from Touhou 6: Embodiment of Scarlet Devil, taking inspiration from prominent spacesynth tunes of both past and present, most notably of Laserdance and Prodomo, to name a few, all done within OpenMPT!
Obviously, with it being transplanted into such an italo-offshoot genre, some parts of the melody had to be respun with my twists and turns.
In the several hours that I've worked out this module on, I basically imagined a sort of an hypothetical scene where Cirno and a few of her acquaintances hitch a spaceship ride throughout outer space, marveling at planets and worlds beyond those of Gensokyo and the Lunar Capital, thus the prominent use of samples and melodies that are present in such electronic music classics, such as those from the LM2 (or LinnDrum), and the Roland Junos, while also injecting some modern ones into the mix, such as the "artcore" crash cymbal, for that kind of timeless feel. Oh, and for this master, I ran the final render through a few compression, EQ, and tape-emulation plugins, to give the kicks some more punch and impart some more cream and flavor through the entire mix.
To end off this rather long production-process rambling above, I would like to say, Cirno's the stronkest (to quote my fellow Green teammates in the Flairwars community), and may she and her breezeful spirit and vigor shine through all our fanworks and stuff!

To be honest, I've been doing and experimenting with tracker music since around 2020, the Android port of Milkytracker being my first actual foray into that kind of stuff, as well as DAWs since around 2017 (thank you and RIP ;/) starting with Caustic 3.
As for the second question, I still have a major backlog of trackertunes (covers, originals, mashups, etc.) that are both unreleased, unfinished, and complete, but given the time and fandom context around some of those, they may as well be best left within the stash, mostly for personal enjoyment.
Anyways... thanks for the good quip, although I surmise the NG audio system somehow confused itself in scheduled audio uploads, in my point of view, thus the early-than-expected release instead on the 9th, as I had originally put it to be.
