You walk into a bar bursting with bizarre-bodied aliens. They sure dig the blues.


Inspired by one of my favorite songs of all time: Cantina Band. I don't usually use the DPCM channel all that much, but considering there's an NSF and NSFclassic in this battle I felt that I should utilize the DPCM here to differentiate the two. I took 2 crappy steel drum samples off a random youtube video, and it's slightly out of tune, but hey that gives it more charm I hope.
I was worried it sounds too busy and cluttered with all that's going on, but maybe that will add to the lively alien vibe.
Feedback is always appreciated! :)

Also just realized my two entries so far are space themed... maybe I should continue the theme for the rest of my winterchip entries.

now THIS is groove to dance to (in a bar)

(peak pulse Bass action)

hah i definitely feel the relation to Cantina Band but i also love all the places this winds up going in just a couple minutes of life! you have a really great knack for lively melodies and arrangements, i hope you keep at it for years to come.

also the steel drum did add a lot of character imo!

wow an immaculate PresTune!! not much to say that hasn't been said already though, the steel drum IS incredibly charming (& probably my favorite part of this), & the drum solo is really cool :D

This song is well written and incredibly fun and memorable. Sometimes your writing reminds me of that same quality from Lukas Erikkson/Luaks in this way, a la Mute Detonation

i just remembered: DANNY ELFMAN!
it's decidedly Danny Elfman, with Oingo Boingo or without, to me. sorry if this is a shot far from bull's eye :)

(also Michael Land's DOTT soundtrack. kind of.)
