this is weirdl=y perfect. thanksyou
work your way through the list alphabetically
if you ask me interesting questions that you cannot find the answers to online anywhere else, ive been chiptunings a long time now :)
Album flow is difficult because it is subjective. I quite often listen to records and think they are too long and should have gotten rid of 4-5 songs and made a better shorter release (i like 60s 70s style where you could only fit around 40 mins on a piece of vinyl.)
i always spend ages arranging songs ive written into a cohesive series of traxx for a release. and it can take over a year for me just to put together a nice EP kinda thing.
i normally write a series of traxx over a period of time, and some of those will be discarded, and others seem to naturally form a narrative that i can then use as a release.
have you considered not doing a long 30 min+ record and keeping it short?
have you played with different song orders, putting them on CD/MP3 playa and listening to them in a setting outside of your studio?
listening to your songs, some of them are very textured dissonant pieces, but others are very pop and melody. does the juxtaposition of these 2 styles jar you?
Can you just give all your songs to a trusted friend and get them to chose the order?
there is a lot of reverb on the mix, which i would be careful of, unless it is a deliberate aesthetic choice
ive been making game boy music for 10 years now
pay what you like on bandcamp
im sure that ages ago i found somewhere online the bpms of the c64 speeds at standard x1 speed.
really random stuff, 4 was something like 143.658 bpm. its gets even more incomprehensible if you use groove tempos and multispeed.
x16 speed with 70 30 groove tempo on.
ive not used a real c64 in ages but when i had one, i couldn't overwrite files using johnplayer. ive not ever used a tracker in an emulator either.
this appears to have some things you could try?
nice work, glad people are commenting.
sounds like this would have been great to hear up loud.
omg that overthruster is so good. i might have had this back then, seems familiar.

not very metal, more sort of techno/electronic/idm/ stuff but avoids chirpy happy lsdj stuff.

there is lots of great music that is just bassline and beats. just make it a mean bassline and roll with it.
day booked off work, hotel booked. superbyte tickets purchased. yeah!!!
there are a few bits where it descends into cheesy melodies but otherwise this is pretty freaky. nice sounds, great mix of samples and synth drums. Space witch and
I came as a diplomat are great.
