Feb 2022 casiocore ss020422e skirmish cleaning
In the basement of the house I'm living in I found a Radioshack CK-480 keyboard. I've always wanted to try the #casiocore challenge but have been afraid... until now!
Just looped a bunch of the silly sounds starting with the "bossa nova" beat. Can you guess which instrument is the "glass harmonica" or the "quena"?
I've been spending a lot of time cleaning this house. I think it's made me a feel a little kooky. Well, that's why I channeled it in to a song.
(Too much cleaning makes Nate a dull boy)

The more I’m listening to your work the more I’m digging it! This is my favorite yet. This is so sickly sweet catchy and satisfying just the type of song I love! I need to do a Casio core song this year but felt lazy cause I didn’t see the official thread.

Hell yeah! This is why #casiocore is always my favourite tag :)
Super charming and fun, I came for the casio sounds but stayed for the great lo-fi pop song!

I really love this. Taking me back to 1996 with the Kerby vac and Price is Right in the background. Wholesome, hilarious, and it sounds dang good too.

I love this! The melodic line of the synth is so engaging and cute. Then your topline is a nice counterpoint melody. Good for you for trying something new!

Haha, I’m listening to this whilst cleaning the house. How meta is that?! Casios rock. This is a lot of fun :)

I think it might be the fumes from the bottle of bleach. It had an interesting effect on your voice. Don't open a window, though. That would only let more dirt in.
@vivalarayna Feb 2022
Casiocore FTW! I like how the random sounds add chaotic support to the increasing anxiety of your voice. It does feel like it never ends!
@dzdandcunfsd Feb 2022
Don't worry! It'll never stop :D
This really did have an evolution of happy to madness that I really enjoyed! You squeezed some nice sounds out of that old Radioshack casio ripoff! :D
@mikehex Feb 2022
What a great sound! So much fun, I love the cheerful theme over the top of "never clean enough". Great track
@liz561 Feb 2022
I really liked how it devolves from cheery to increasingly desperate and phobic.
@pianoquest Feb 2022
Fun sounds! Makes me want to dig out my old Casiotone.
@gardeningangel1 Feb 2022
Oh yes this is some top tier Casiocore. Music has a gleeful marching band fanfare feel. The escalating despair of your vocals... I've done my fair share of cleaning old houses and this is an apt description. Have to wonder if the all the mold spores and bleach fumes played a part in the kookiness.
@kenmattsson Feb 2022
So fun. Is that really your voice? There were so many different kooky things in here. Glad you had fun with the prompt!
@metalfoot Feb 2022
The Radioshack CK-480 is a rebadged Casio keyboard yes? Anyway, this is fun! I'm so happy you went this way with the prompt. Goofy grin all over my face!
