CHIP METAL SOlO

Sounds nice. Somewhat generic, though.

**Frank Munoz** · 05-24-2013, 01:24 PM

Not bad at all~
Though, as Zaevod noted, kinda generic.
But imo that's a good thing cause it's what people want. WHo knows, you might make it big in the 8bit world~

the background makes it have that "retro keygen" feel
but then its also kinda progressive

I like it

I think part of the "generic" feel that people are noting is because it just starts into a prog-y solo out of nowhere. A little more buildup would give it a bit more atmosphere and cohesion and make it feel less generic. at least i think

Thanks!

The generic feel is because at heart it's a 45 second loop (which is itself high in periodic content). That's what it was like when it came out of the one hour compo and I didn't deviate from the structure much.

(Then again, While Atlantis Sleeps is also a really tight loop, and that song was cool. Hmm)

Drums are weaksauce in this, but the rhythm and lead sound fantastic. Nice job.

haha the ending is great
