LAZY_TITLE

Epic Megagames -- from which i get my handle -- attempted to
respond to sonic the hudgehog on sega. to say "hey, the PC
can do this too." i daresay they succeeded.

the soundtrack is not as iconic as sonic's, but it means
very much to me. if you listen to the aliasing on the choir
and pad samples... well, jeez, i still try to emulate that
feeling to this very day.

fun fact: the game had numerous easter eggs, including
"apogee mode." this mode caused the game to drop to an
extremely low framerate; switch to shitty graphics. it was a
dig at their then-rival, apogee software

i had the shareware version but was never a big fan, mainly
cos it ran like dogshit on my old 386 (i think, could've
been 486 but i didn't need to put it in apogee mode to see
it jerky as a mofo anyway). was more about the commander
keen games or duke nukems when i was a nipper looking for
platformers

i half-suspect some of the samples from holiday hare started
off on a korg wavestation, but by the time they'd got
through the screamtracker/s3m format, they'd become
something else

oh, that youtube lets every song loop twice. if you open the
description you can find times to skip the dupes

jungrock

never grabbed me nearly as much of the others, but i can
hear so much more in it, now that i'm older -- mostly,
influences. 80s hip hop, boogie down bronx, new wave, that
sort of fing. it's interesting. i want to track down this
"joshua jensen" and bother him with questions. i remember
his name thoroughly, because it sounded like "genesis" but
also jensen was a brand of speaker

sped-up hip-hop funk done with limited sample memory, and a
deep tangent into cutting with the alias grain, rather than
against it? or i'm imagining it all? hard to tell

no, it's an nwa song the beat came from. i think. bothering
me. trying to figure it out

that last one sounds like a prodigy chord progression, then
it just sort of wanders off into its own fing

yes, it's "wind it up," slowed down, with more elaboration
than the prodigy bothered with

still need to figure out which hip hop track that other one
lifts from, though

i can't get over imagining the prodigy song ripping off the
elaborated piano riff that the jazz jackrabbit song ripped
off. that would be dope. if wind it up (remix) did the
extended piano breakdown in dreempipes

I pretty much stopped liking games that are linear and which
usually punish you for dying by making you replay the same
linear stuff. It's anti-autechre.

the maximalist approach, i dig it. could maybe lose some
drums but you might lose the propulsive, forward motion vibe

kinda good, kinda messy, drums sound like a beat.wav rather
than individual percussion units for more precision, and
lots of single notes in the melody at least at the
beginning. Evolution to disorder was kinda interesting,
autechre kicks ass at evolving patterns, even going meta
with what I've heard biologists say too "evolution, itself,
evolves".

If you want try making a song at a slow speed, especially a
not-overly-long pattern that loops to get a feel for what
sounds good, at least at first to make something to append
to or expand later. It's much easier to think at a slow
tempo, then u can speed it up for idm lulz later. And at a
slow tempo its easier to add detail to micro measurements
that is just flying by too fast to think about clearly if
you start with a fast tempo. I would have posted a pic of
biff from road rash 2 saying 'here's a pro tip' but i
couldn't find one.
