The snow is packed in.

The radio is on the fritz, trying out its own fuzzy version of spitting up blood.

A haze falls, lightly, like a tender snow, but is the encroaching warmth a portent of safety or merely an illusion?

RESUBMIT: overlooked that the PCM lead in second part didn't really come through, but then once I fixed it, the sample playback wasn't ideal, so replaced it was an SSG lead instead!

Made in BambooTracker. While I've got a better grasp and workflow in Furnace, using something different ends up changing how and what I compose. I really don't think I'd have ever made a musical narrative centered around a constant noise on the third SSG channel without the shift of approach.

I was going to leave the end a cliffhanger, likely hinting at the worst possible outcome, but it was gutting to me personally, so I had to inject a moment of intervention lol.

Part one leans a lot on a tactic learned from a VGM playback I watched for a PC-98 title that I highly recommend you try: four channels of keys, using a patch on alg 4 that allows you to create perfect 5ths. CH 1 + 2 are mimicked on 3 + 4 (or however you want to situate them), except the latter are panned each direction and use a noteworthy amount of detuning via E5xx.

From there, I start intentionally entering notes in flat or sharp, using various slide commands, and messing around in other small ways to suggest somebody losing their grip.

Part two uses a reduced-volume alg 5 patch to give it more an organ-y haze with every chord using 5 channels to really fill the space.

mp3 rendered from .s98 playback with foobar, using the following settings:

FM -3.0 db
SSG -6.5 db
Rhythm -4.0 db
ADPCM -3.0db

Hope you enjoy it!
