I feel like I'm finally starting to get good at making music for the SID chip! It's always interesting to me how much my my style of music differs from chip to chip; I rarely make anything this spacey and grand sounding for the NES. Funnily enough, I feel like this sounds much fuller than most my NES compositions, despite having 2 less channels.

Anyways, I hope you enjoy this short song. I'm really proud of it for now :D

I think my favorite parts are - right at first, the little melody line that comes in at :14, then again at like :54 - how it starts with single notes, then doubled notes, then by the end of the phrase all the notes are triplets or quadrupled or something? that's a fine progression.

And then the triangle lead at 1:12 is just so nice and jaunty and kind of like spooky ghosts singing, very nicely done.

interesting observation about how writing differs from chip to chip! i think that's true for me too, or at the very least as i develop "things i like to do" on each of them i'm more likely to lean into those things

anyway cool piece! it's very dynamic and flows well from thought to thought. the big rising chord builds with ritardando are so well done, especially at the end where the blippy arp is also descending. and the rhythmic shakeup in the last 30 seconds... ah yeah lots to love here, good work

i cant agree with this. to me, i think what influenced my music writing style the most is my *main tool of choice* (openmpt), so i usually try to adapt this style in other tools too, giving my music a very specific style.

very siddo kiddo here btw

Fun space adventure tune! My favorite part is 1:12, going around the circle of fifths like a boss :D

I'm glad you added SID to your repertoire. I think you'll continue to do good things with it!
