This week I changed gears a bit. :] I am currently working on contributing music and SFX to a brand new Neo Geo video game from Fullset called Overserved! This track is for one of the arenas called Future City.

For context, the sound on the Neo Geo comes from the Yamaha YM2610 chip.

It features:

- 4 concurrent FM synthesis channels (voices), four operators per channel

- 3 SSG channels (square waves or digital noise)

- 6 ADPCM channels, 18.5 kHz sampling rate, 12-bit audio depth (I can only use 2 for the music, though - the rest are   reserved for SFX!)

The game is going to be similar to Bomberman, but a food fight!

More about the game HERE!

You start a track with the best of intentions, and somewhere along the line it just fizzles out. So baiscally this is a song with an intro and an outro.

trying to be chill with writing not that deep lyrics and just kinda writing abt the whole experience of things :P,,

lyrics and en trans:

春の晴れ

Sa喫茶店nagkakape

Sunny spring day

At the coffee shop drinking coffee

It still hurts but

I'm somehow still alive!

Will it be okay?

Can I still handle this?

I don't know

I was using a CNC table to cut some polycarbonate (something I've done a lot of the past few months) and heard some interesting texture in the abrasive sound of it, so I wanted to try turning it into industrial drone techno. Sampled the audio, pitched it down, and added a lot of reverb to make it the spine of this track.

This isn't my best genre and I think this track could use some more time to cook. I like the intro enough that I hope to return to this one after WB2026 wraps up.

Not exactly the track I had in mind, but due to a --yet to be solved-- bug in the synth I was using, I quickly set this up.

I'd rather you listen to any other of my tracks, hehe.

that said;

I think I went a bit overboard and didn't cull enough of the sounds to make the lower gurgle bass-thingy really shine, but after already spending hours and hours on something else and *points at the great weather* I think just chilling and calling this done, is the right thing to do.

While im not particularly fond of it, its --for now-- the shortest track I've ever submitted to WB.

its almost 7 minutes shorter than average, hehe. (RPLKTR must be so proud).

I hope you are all doing well! *hugs*

Add stuff in, take it out.

Whatever you do to it,

It's still yours.

I had to quit this song in a good way. Tried adding too many harmonies at first. I felt like the meaning of the lyrics got lost. So I eliminated a lot of them, and shifted to vocoder on some. Tried to keep it building the whole way through while not just adding sounds for the sake of being different.

A small victory, but I panned some of the synth solos for the first time, and I love how it trickles from one ear to the other (with headphones).

The stuff I do in Reaper is becoming automatic, and you all are a huge part of me learning it.

Keep up the good work on A YOUR WB, too! You can do it! I believe in you! Hope you enjoy.

A song just building on the skills I’ve been working on all these weeks- trying to be punchy and catchy. I wanted to experiment with doing something playful and syncopated that switches to a driving straightforward beat in the chorus.

Gonna say I surprised myself this week. Wasn't sure what to do, where to really go, and still feeling down and stuff over things from the last few weeks (see last weeks track for full context). I got a few new synths for a live performance in June, so messed with them a bit (and the sounds make up the intro to this track) but then I sat down of saturday, and this kinda just came out.

I personally blame the sunshine and the sudden switch to Spring that has happened. It also feels like a much needed 'what if happy?' tap that I've not really uncorked for a while, I had ideas (and still do) over the shape and 'why?' I'm writing music this year, and this track just goes against all of that. But I feel like I needed it.

The intro noises come from the Bastl Wave Bard through a reverb pedal and Bastl FX Wizard.

Take care out there <3 Than kyou for all the lovely comments too.
