I'm not sure if this is the right section to post this, since this is not exactly chip music.
But it's micro. Very micro. Micro as the brain cells of a lab rat.
Talking with a friend of mine, a neuro scientist, we discussed low pass filters, square waves and such, but from two very different points of view. I was talking about music and sounds, and he was talking about other properties he studies in order to figure out how brains work.
After a few beers, he agreed to send me samples of the brain cells of the thalamus of a lab rat, which he studies in order to understand different reactions to outside stimuli. When I heard the sounds, I was amazed: it's some kind of white noise, but with unpredictable peaks and rhithmic bursts.
I tried to do something musical with it, and this was the result. I used some parts of the sample to do percussive sounds, and other parts as background noise. The bass is a moogish vst, while the audio is made of some excerpts from the lunar landing recordings. The sound crackles a lot, for obvious reasons, but I like it this way. Weird, I know, but I had fun.
Apologies for my bad scientific english, and sorry if this is too off topic for this board.
Here's the song:

Of course, if anyone is interested, I'll gladly share the original samples.
Edit: the song is not final. I still want to tweak something and work on the arrangement, but this is definitely the sound.
