This is definitely the most complex song I've constructed so far, and I'm really not quite sure what to say about it. Knowing me, I'll still probably manage to write a wall of text about it, though.
So, I've submitted a proper full song for the first time in six months, which is good; I didn't know where it would lead me until I finished it, and it ended up being 192 bars long, and having 55 patterns in total. I also used up a quarter of the mixer in making this, which was kinda cool. I don't quite know what genre this fits into, as it seems to have elements from Techno, Industrial and DnB styles, but most of my music does... I think. Anyway, when I say it's been half a year since my last song, I don't mean I spent all of that time working on it. I'm just lazy. I'm trying to get back into music, though, so you can expect more, but I don't really know where I want to go next. I haven't yet reached the level where I can plan out my song and then make it, because I just suck at synthesising what I want. But I'll get better eventually, and I can take crap out of older songs and change it to make other sounds, maybe. Anyway, I'm horribly boring, so just enjoy the song, if it's really that good.

Also review PLZ. ^^

Edit: Made some minor adjustments to the automation. Nothing noticeable, it just makes it that little bit more perfect. :D

Chip-breaky

This song really gave me a positive suprise, i love how its full of suspense and how its kinda ominous, but witout ever kicking it into full action. wich makes it unique. the title fits the song really well. it wassnt so much of a listen song as it was a bacround song, but sometimes thats just good. i could see this beeing used while you have your last chat with the final boss in a 2D game. :D keep at it!

blackduckie responds:

The "Chip-breaky" thing in this song kinda just came out of nowhere, while I was experimenting with phaser automation. I actually attempted at giving the song some breakdown into a sort of DnB a few times, but it just came along in a way which doesn't really seem to fit any genre. I try to keep my music from being really repetitive, because I know what it's like to hear a really cool beginning to something and just hear it repeated over and over again until it's just annoying, and I don't want that to happen with anything I make. (Though it has happened with some of my older songs.) I do improvise, though. A lot. I can never really think of anything I make as "background music" when I've just finished making it, because while you're making it, you have to listen to it, but I know what you mean. And it does sound a bit empty; it could do with some unrelated sound effects over the top, which brings me the 2D game thing you mentioned. I don't know about a final boss battle, but I like that idea! :D And I usually spend a fair amount of time with a dictionary and thesaurus to find the titles for my songs, but this one was just kind of random.
Anyway, thanks for the review, I was surprised to see one from you, as you're one of my favourite artists, thanks!
