Skirmish tag: Descent
This is NOT the song I set out to do. I had this vision of a song suggesting a snowfall, with a lead instrument something like a celeste or glockenspiel (or even a kalimba) and a bit slower, but the idea of having a cascading melody suggesting snowflakes falling is still there.
Big, chiptune, eight-bit snowflakes.
I'd like to do a more sophisticated version of this later on but you have to admit, this has its own peculiar charm in a chiptune kind of way.
Ha!

This is great, it has an ABBA, Oo blah di, Yellow Submarine, Disco kind of feel. Ha ha. Lots of fun! I see the Mario brothers dancing with their girls in a cartoon disco to this. Great piece!

I can well imagine pretty pixels falling all the way down the screen to this.

Oh my, I’m a teenager again playing video games. It is a little earmorm gem. Still tapping my toes.

ha ha @ love the phrase 8 bit snowflakes ! Chiptune has made a big comeback in the sync world !
This is certainly very catchy and a bit of an earworm. It makes me remember playing those first games on our tv screens with ZX Spectrums !

This is indeed charming. Cheerful and lovely and video-game without any ugly distortion. Very nice.

This got my head bobbing from side to side too. I fear 'twill be an ear worm tonight! :-)
@crutherford Feb 2022
DELIGHTFUL!!!!
My head is still bobbing side to side.
I googled chiptune.
I dig this big time.
Fabulous Skirmish!
BTW. Thanks for the nsfw suggestion. It is now engaged. :)

Oh, man, @tuneslayer. Please, please, please can we put this music with my lyrics.
I love that carnival always descending line. It's like an Escher painting.
This feels exactly like the inside of my brain as I try to remember the name of the artist who painted Artist Descending a Staircase. It's even reminding me of all the brilliant lines I lost track of while transferring it onto the page, Like
Hours up, Paintbrush down
Just in case: Descent into Dissent https://fawm.org/songs/136330/
Great music.

Well, my song went completely off-piste even within itself, so I think this is perfectly fair! I rather liked it too, as you said it has a charm to it :)
