Topic: First chiptune release on Google Assistant? (0 replies, posted in Releases)
I made a Google Assistant Speech AI app as a fun project. Inviting you all to ask it weird questions, try to stump it, or just request some music.
Talk to MicroD on Google Assistant
So far I've got about 200 unique responses programmed. It can answer a bunch of random questions, play any song in my discography and more - and no install needed!
What do you think?

Re: Sad Chiptune? (58 replies, posted in General Discussion)
Seems to be a recurring theme in this thread, but this album-closing track of mine has some personal sadness smeared all over it.
Only the Wind-up / Let-down by MicroD
It was written as a quartet, and the last half recalls the melody of the album opener but over a more melancholy progression.

Topic: D's Quest - MicroD (2 replies, posted in Releases)
D's Quest contains all-new tracks created for the Roland MT-32 Multi-Timbre Sound Module. The Roland MT-32 was the standard platform for computer music and PC games in the late 80s/early 90s (notably those made by Sierra) prior to the adoption of General MIDI.
"Despite his best repair efforts amidst the injurious fanfare of cabin-mounted trumpets and oboes, the coupling had failed. His hideous invention yet hurtled forward, but for how long? Radical D peered out past the sweat and swelter to discover the square had been emptied. The many metal legs could no longer conceal their battle scars and the machine began to creak to a halt, leaving only the persistent ticking of a worn-out wristwatch. D's Quest would be cast aside, fragmented."
