8-Bit Sex: Flight of the Black Raven

**Bynary Fission** · 09-24-2012, 01:50 AM

Da song:

I finally got off my fat lazy ass and worked on a few song. This one utilized the VRC6 Konami expansion chip, which gave me 8 channels to dick around with unlike my previous songs which just used five. This song is *progressive* - I threw in a crapton of odd time signatures in all sorts of different places, and nearly all of them worked out very well in the context of the song. Off the top of my head, these are some of the more major ones used (though it isn't a complete list):

7/8 (the intro)

7/4 (mostly used in conjunction with 4/4, used in numerous parts of the song)

6/4 - used in the intense parts during the second half of the song - the triangle begins in 6/4 with the square in 4/4, then both go to 6/4.

17/8 - Used in a few transitions

I use FamiTracker to make these songs - you can download it here if you wanna give chiptune making a shot: famitracker.com

That was turned into Mysterious Moon (also posted on my wall) - but that song is half-assed as **** sadly. :X 5 channels wasn't enough for that song, in hindsight...plus the fact that I think I was tackling a bigger beast than I could handle. I might actually end up re-making that song in the future.

Glad you liked it - I really didn't think I could ever make a song like this, but hey practice does wonders, huh?

Definitely 8-Bit Sex

Is it weird that this reminds me of the Scott Pilgrim soundtrack?

Not really, considering the type of comic/movie it was. :P I mean ****, the minute I heard the LoZ: Link to the Past intro at the start of the movie I knew I was gonna enjoy it haha.

Glad you enjoyed it, though! If you want to download the .mp3, here it is: http://www.mediafire.com/?ucu1f92wq8kc1bt
