Feb 2022 fawmtronica synthvox chiptune happy no-excuses
A lot of my stuff the last couple years have been influenced by the anime Gintama. This came from one of those episodes that they throw in that make you emote unexpectedly amongst a ton of silly nonsense episodes or very serious and dramatic episodes.
Anyway, I have a few things I still want to do to this.
I want a pronounced transition between the two main sections. I'd like harmony in the second half's synthvox.
The synthvox run toward the end is meant to be much more epic, with the entire "band" mimicking the run along with drum stuff; I have visions of it being a climax of a groove that ends up taking on almost a funk/soul character. Admittedly, my fingers wouldn't do such things and I will have to reclaim the chops that I have lost on the keys in order to make it happen.
Alas...I rarely go back and do the things I say I'm gonna do lol (in music and in life period)
These aren't excuses for anything, just stating my "plans" for what I hope could be the final version someday.
I used a lot of the Super Audio Cart VST to make all this stuff, which SOMEBODY on this MADE me buy (not really, they used it in a super awesome song, triggered my memory that I wanted it since last year, so I went and bought it!) Its super fun to use and I haven't even scratched the surface with it.
Another note, the synthvox I use can be hard to understand sometimes, and I feel that happens a bit often in this song. So despite the 'no excuses' stuff, I still do apologize that the lyrics are a bit hard to understand. I have some specific folks that I think would sound really good singing this, but I'm not in a place right now energy/mental/anything-wise to reach out.
I'm tired of typing now.

I would bet on it but I don't have money

Just you wait and see for yourself, honey
2moro

2moro will be sunny
Like toast and an egg that is runny
2moro will be sunny
Full of happiness and things that are funny

More 8-bit goodness from Splittyblooms! Totally sounds like the old Nintendo music. Nice vocal runs near the end here. Great fun!

Awyeah, some honest-to-goodness chiptune stuff. Given that you've referenced Japanese animation, have you ever considered using a vocal synth from the Vocaloid series? Very famous vocal synths for Japanese phonetics specifically.

Oooh those chiptune drums about midway through! Got me feeling 12 again playing some SNES. Fun and catchy and definitely super happy!

Cool chip tune vibes on this one!

This sounds like one of those arcade video games that used to steal all our quarters. Well done! I'm not much for chipmunk-oid voices, but I enjoyed this.

This makes me think of the songs that have been surfacing all over the internet because of Doki Doki Literature Club! - it has the same happy, bouncy vibe (although if you know anything about DDLC!, you'll know it's dark as hell under the cutesy stuff). Great chiptune track, and catchy too, I feel like I'm going to be humming this now for the rest of the day :)

Fantastic. Bopping on my sofa. One of the best chiptune tracks I’ve heard! And the crescendo and ending are perfect.

I love your chip tune magic. Got my big ass dancing (if you can call it dancing) with a big smile on my stupid face.
