Hello, pepsi drinkers! One can argue that I maked t2wo snogs, and as evidence of these allegations, here is exhibit A:
LAZY_TITLE
snog 1: it's all 100% A chord. Sometimes I just think in 1 chord or something. "Or something" can refer to ANYthing, so that sentence is quite omni-something or something.
snog 2: a funner faster snog made of quick triplets in c chord, and probably f and g most likely I forget.

sticking with one chord removes a variable from a system full of fuckin' variable variables, that vary depending on other variables, and, yes, sometimes a limiting context can actually be a relief; jettison of a cognitive burden
first one ~ i actually really like this. one of the first sorts of music i ever got into was celtic music, and this has that sort sea shanty thing going on.... reminds me of ben daglish on SID
second, also SID, but not ben daglish. except it's almost, like, FM?
neways ~ first one reminds me of the stage when i was writing orchestral stuff using synful orchestral vst. i'd been working with VSTs for three or four years at that point, and i got synful, had great fun working it through delays and all... but, then, at one point, i'm just sunk into it, writing stupid weird synthetic VST sea shantys
LAZY_TITLE
back when it was more integrated, it was more like this
and i guess that makes t2wo songs

oh i'll do a third, because, well, most of the music i wrote for the first few years was all one chord... evolved into this strange monster with 12 layers of harmony and how can i keep making this same riff sound good. like analord gone over the edge. i blame richard d. james for making autism seem cool
LAZY_TITLE right after i made this, college, 2005, i sent a link to dave wright over AIM. he said, "it sounds like rhythm is a dancer"
i said, "what's that?"
at that point he had a small seizure and sent me an mp3

I really like that first one, best track I remember hearing from you imo. Then again I kinda remember you posting a similar track longish ago so maybe its the same one.
Now I have 2 search ben daglish, will take awhile to listen to that since I never heard it.
2nd is interesting but pretty noisy/chaotic, maybe the output of a certain type of drug like spiders weave weird webs on weird drugs.
3rd- still like 1st best by far. i actually like the simper tones though maybe that's what modplug echochambered me into. this one has a sorta volume sine wave on top of it, would sound better as just normal tones w/o 'effects' maybe. kinda overly long and noisy but still interesting.
When I start programming music, I reckon I'll have way way way more colorful/vivid precision control than the simple sine wav type 'piano 3' of modplug.
'i blame richard d. james for making autism seem cool ' ha ha

4th is quite nice, 2nd favorite, or maybe a tie with 1st. I like the nuances of melody note units like guitarish thing at 2min. I've almost entirely avoided such nuances so far since modplug sucks so hard at it. Modplug's just 'note start, note stop', unless you use 'instruments' then you can do shit volume fading and shit other sort of attack/sustain/decay or whatever but it sucks, i want much more precision and should get that w/ programming but have to focus on the super fun task of getting retard hyperinflation paper to pay my landlord masters instead!

generally ~ sounds like you'll be all into my 2004-7 VST music. just giant endless MIDI tapestries, only getting into proper progressions in the last few years. i guess i just got locked into this love endelessly photocopying something and watching it mutate.
before nuendo and cubase, i had a brief stint using modplug. before that, impulse tracker. before that, i would make sounds in fruityloops, export them, and use acid 2.0 to collage them into songs, along with lots of drum loops i got off the internets. what was it... phatty's loops?
then i tried lsd in college. this i made the third time i tried acid. i heard some other college student's car going DOOF DOOF DOOF off in the distance and it was hilarious to me. how pretentious. i pictured the chap, that he referred to his car as his "system" and ladies dig!!DOOF11!!DOOF!!my!!1DOOF!!System
the opening is a combination of that, and the way the sunset looked off some of the other dorms, which i captured via digital photo here
the first 1:47 i wrote in a sitting on acid. it felt like it was putty in my hands.... the rest, well, just weed. it sounds fine, really, happy with it... but, with this notice that the switch happens i'm sure you'll hear it
anyways, my point: this was the first time i'd ever just shut the grid off. never mind bars, beats, just drag the notes around until they sound... proper

ben daglish, celtic music, sid. i remember visiting his crappy geocities-feeling site in the 00's and he more or less like, "i'm not entirely sure what my job is here, but it has something to do with analyzing and manipulating patterns."
that rather rived from my feelings of working with music plugins and so from then on i was a ben daglish fan. one of dozens

I really like that one. LSD seems 'good' for creativity but no way I want to voluntarily try it because of mkultra (see max igan's red car triggering manchurian candidate theories
LAZY_TITLE) plus the movie banshee chapter is scary. Weed was scary enough for me, I probably have nanobots inside me from it. I don't know what lsd "really" is and maybe don't want to know, singularity in a bottle? banshee chapter?

Just look how locked and dumbed down touch screen iphones and their smartphone ilk are, which the elite herded the masses (just like the herd the masses by default sorting 'best match'=best match for what the elite wants u to see.. simply by setting defaults in their proprietary in q tel criminal cartel bit tyranny they can herd the masses where they want them to go) they're not even computers, they're control systems, the epitome of richard stallman's 'program controlling the user' not 'user controlling the program'. you can only hen peck touch type on them, can't use or install shit at least intuitively, are in a prison of a shit user interface (user in your face), and this is where the elite want their slaves so they can monopolize computation. So that's the suck slave version of the singularity they'd herd us into while they keep the real singularity secret for themselves. maybe lsd leads there, I wouldn't trust that shit.

i'll try and put it in perspective ~
i didn't even get drunk until i was 19 (and already using VSTs for a bit). i got to college and i watched other people get drunk and i decided: yes, i would like to try this. i did, and did not regret it. i also do not regret waiting until i was more or less an adult before beginning to sample all the various mind-alterations on market
similarly, for weed, i watched other people smoke it and how they acted. it seemed alright. thanksgiving break, at a LAN party with my former high school classes, there is going to be a weed smoked. i asked to take part. i did not have any of that "it took me three times smoking before i got high" shit; i was immediately thoroughly blazed, and i rather liked it.
more than rather... this one guy from high school who was pretty much everyone's connect, i went to him and asked: how much does this marijuana stuff cost? ok. then i essentially calculated how much non-essential cash i had, and said i wanted that much weed. it was more than an ounce
lsd, shrooms, psychedelics -- i watched for much longer before deciding i wanted in, there. but once i was in, i was in
i feel like this will be relevant to you -- in between proper psychedelics and weed, there was robitussin which i feel is a bit underrated in the grand pyramid of drukqs. or not. the tuss?

these days, i dunno. haven't done acid in years. would actually love to do it again, but i really feel no urgency. i've had my parking validated. i don't have problems getting into the same sort of hedset on my own with hardware or software and perhaps just a bit of weed

ha ha. frogs are usually too happy and cute to not be c major. but the frog from blaster master could be a minor (in my limited understanding 'a minor' just means 'c major' but you start on a instead, I need that level of simplicity to understand anything). You can start on any key and I made a program to paste modplug data and switch key (like all white keys but 'start on c' (happy) or 'start on a' (sad/serious), but there's some interesting ones I at least rarely use simply because I don't by habit, like I think e and f probably have a sort of 'noble' feeling or something that might work well in puzzle games for some reason. They take a more backgroundy feel for some reason but I forget exactly.

good snoop snogs
snog1: is evocative of sailing with pirates and attacking a castle
snog2: is catchy the melody that starts at 3:00 could be longer I think
I like them both as they are but I think both of them could have more prominent melodies.
on lsd weed the singularity and the elites. they do control the world me thinks. but technology is not as advanced as one could think the they will never be able to reproduce the human brain with binary computers. its not possible to write a program to make a computer know/care about its existence. they can only execute tasks. they (the elites) dont control our brains either, they control the masses as they have done from the start of civilization, but our brains remain our own, in a way because no one knows what the fuck is going on there really.
epicmegacrack: i liked the first song you posted the most. simplicity aids expression me thinks. this has been hard for me to learn so I'm happy to share/confirm it.

e8ight snogs
I put 'endcaps' on these 8eight8888 snogs, meaning they end 'goodly' by simply playing the first note of the snog at the end for the most part. snog - to snog ∞.

h ah a I tried 'heavy' battle music in A and E chords (no D, just 1 and 5).
o1neish 1st part is main snog, 2nd part is attempt to change it from A (and E) chords into B (and F) chords to make it 'evil' since its battle music. Didn't work that well this time maybe because A (serious) isn't strikingly different from B (evil) whereas c (happy) and b (evil) are.
But I'm not really sure if A/D/E (1/4/5) is supposed to change to B/E/F (1/4/5), all 100% white keys. The F chord 'of' the B set sounds too happy to belong to B maybe (because F is often from C/F/G (1/4/5) which is the happy inn music/village/etc set.).

yes, no, actually, this is more about it.... except, add some blasts of white noise, boop kick, like a SID file?
i started playing d&d with cow orkers recently and i have been assigned DJ duties. i have actually been scrambling to amass different playlist for situations like: battle, victory, pastoral, cave, etc.

i can actually be a bit more specific. have you heard of coron ds7, ds8? basic analog drum, good to build as a project. noise generator, vpa, osc. pure osc gets you snare drum noises. mixing in osc gets you a bit of ~ting~ and that plus a classic sid kick, you'd be cooking. of course, i half suspect you're generating this all with python? the white noise snare is probably trivial, but he sid boop kick might force you to sample; not sure how to model that in code

Since modplug's 'piano 3' and such are quite terrible, I sometimes just import a lame drum sound, then loop a tiny fraction, and make like 10 total tones with the same loop length of different tiny drum fragments. No python yet (except that beat generator thing I posted previously). I need to make a whole library of functions and stuff to have complete control, I pretty much only hand control the melody pattern now with very little control of the sound itself. At least with software I have the potential to build it, no way I'm engineering and 3d printing or whatever any hardware or affording to buy someone else's or learn how to use it. I have a folder of pirate bay drums, I rarely use them for some reason.
