too short. love it

I'm so tired right now, so when I was listening to this I was just staring blankly into nothing, it's so relaxing...

mildly short

the melodies that I didn't even know I needed

and it's about my hometown! I love this so much

10 minutes. damn...

sounds great through the gba "filter"!

wonderful

There is too much good to express in one comment, but this is an extraordinary soundscape with so many glitchy textures, vocal samples, soft pads, and atmospheric sfx, to name a few. Not once did I find myself growing tired of it. Congrats, man, all 7s

anything .it-adjacent is truely ripe for the dami-destroying

like agargara said, and ill add futher, so many times the gba dac quality gets in the way of, rather than compliments tunes. not so here - maybe because the piano sets things up to be perceived as a DIY - liveplay scenario, added to that the BOC-like leads at the 5 min marker, all a perfect match for this mix

would be intrigued to know what didnt work / didnt make the cut going from .it to gba or if it all came out as intended

@gtap thank you so much!

i did some experimenting first by throwing dozens of my own existent .it modules through the converter. overall the results were surprisingly strong, with a small percentage of unintended behaviors that usually wound up being interesting. my impression of things that got messy in translation:

- no random vol/pan variation on instruments
- very long samples (>500k samples or so) either don't play at all or cut off quickly
- pattern loops occasionally misbehave and loop forever
- tempo shifting isn't always perfect (but i'd need to test this more, some of my modules were meant to kick up to 512 and i don't think the converter handles that)
- the gba rom crashes if you force DC offset all the way out to silence (darn)

so i ended up making this module with those things in mind; handwritten pan controls/envelopes, trimmed sample lengths appropriately, and so on. it came out as intended. (it's in #module-file-zone if you want to see!) my original goal was to make something more emergent-glitchy and not run things through the converter much in the meantime, but when i found some of my samples not playing at first i kinda got suckered into it

Fascinating. A vast departure from the melodic and rhythmic heavy music we typically have here, but without crossing into troll entry territory at all. Just really cool psychadelic vibes to chill back to. Although a bit long... but the journey kind of gets you to that 10:30 mark without too much drag/effort.

10 glorious minutes

Love it! I'm especially fan of the voices from the field recordings that got mixed in the song :o
