			<content type="html"><![CDATA[<p>Hello people! Firstly, let me introduce myself. My nickname (as you may/may not know from my profile) is Krydar, but I prefer to be called Kry.</p><p>I entered the chipmusic ambience a few months ago, but just over a week ago, I made my first chiptune. It&#039;s based off an unrecorded composition I did about a year ago that featured drums, two guitars and a bass. I never got to record it, so I thought &#039;hey, why not make a chiptune out of it?&#039;. And so I did. Keep in mind I&#039;ve done a lot of changes from the original composition, though.</p><p>So yeah, it might not sound that much &#039;chippy&#039; because of the reason stated above. I used MilkyTracker, but now that I see it, most (if not all) people here use LSDJ, which I&#039;m very unfamiliar about.</p><p>Please give some constructive criticism when you can.</p><p><a href="http://chipmusic.org/krydar/music/still-untitled" target="_blank">http://chipmusic.org/krydar/music/still-untitled</a></p><p>Cheers!</p>]]></content>
