(machine view of song)

This is a super old tune of mine circa 2006-ish that i dug out of my tune graveyard folder.  For those who are unaware, Jeskola Buzz was a tracker created after the XM/IT generation that featured modular synthesis using audio units called "machines" that you could wire up in all sorts of different ways.  Think a desktop precursor to Sunvox, basically.


Lots of user-developed machines were created of varying quality and reliability - which also meant mucho crashes and glitches, as well as frequent song breakage between versions!  The program is a little antiquated by today's standards but surprisingly it's still being developed!


This tune features generous VST usage (Edirol Orchestral and Super Quartet) via third-party VST host machines.  i think at this point this is where ease of use breaks down as tracker effect commands for VST machines gets prohibitively complex. 


this pretty much explains why i never got any of these damn buzz tracks finished.  i honestly don't think i'll get to the trouble of properly mixing/tweaking this, so i'm pretty much dumping it out to WAV as-is.
