I've been working on a demo for a collab project I'm in called Abraide... All M8 Tracker synths.
I tried to write "the most Abraide song" I could, which to me means melodic chiptune synths with more than a healthy dash of post and prog rock. I came up with this.
Hope you enjoy it!

this one's got a nice forlorn nomadic tribe quality to it. welcome back to wb!!!!
loving the glides on that lead synth
cool use of the stereo field throughout, I'm floating in a chiptune haze bro
So curious to hear this with guitar and bass parts added. Good luck with WB this year!
Nice to see you here in 2026 
looking forward to seeing what you get up to. Cool first track.
Nice! I like the way the drums float around in this :-) Solid M8 sounds as always
feels like i'm floating through outer space but less emptiness. the leads at 2:20 really stand out. love how much movement there is throughout the whole track.
great progression to this track!! great to see u doing weeklybeats again!!!
Love the dreamy intro feels with that opening synth as the lead floats on. Drums got me nodding in unison. Well done!
Feels like I stumbled across an esoteric late-80s/early-90s Taito arcade brawlers, and it's got one of those better-than-necessary OSTs that simultaneously elevates the tone from frantic button mashing AND numbs me to the vast number of quarters I've been losing.
This has a wonderful, adventuresome, soaring quality to it. You're making the M8 sing
this whole thing was the intro to your stadium tour show when the fog and lasers go and then you slowly descend from the rafters and all the fans are screaming and fainting!
Chip tune + post-rock? YES+3.
I really dig the high-definition chip-tune sound that M8 encourages. It sounds like we feel Amigas and handhelds in '90s sounded, but that's entirely inaccurate since those original platforms were much more lo-fi, which while cute, was often a hindrance.
Here it's clearly a stylistic choice and there are no technical limitations strangling your creative voice. I really dig the end result! No notes, five stars.
I can see where this is going, are you planning vocals?
The limitations on this Abraide project so far is "only one m8, no sampling" because it made so I hadn't considered it. But maybe we should.

I am keen to see and hear what you make this year. I also look forward to seeing you in person once again.
Happy 2026! Off to a bouncy start!
And to you legend. I look forward to seeing you in Melbourne in a few months time, as well.
Welcome back 10k good to see your back. Very chip prog
glad to see you here as well.

Leaning into the Avrilcadabra lead's desires. Some of the stereo field is the same hypersynth across two channels, set an octave apart and voiced differently, with a different spread and pan settings each of on the chords. It does some wild stuff. Glad to see you back on here.

Maybe one day we just might hahaha. Good luck to you, too.
Nice to see you here in 2026
right back atcha.

Thank you king. Looking forward to seeing what you come up with.

That lead is a slight edit of an Avrilcadabra chiptune pack lead for the M8. Free download if you're so inclined!
great progression to this track!! great to see u doing weeklybeats again!!!
Thank you - glad to see you back as well!

Appreciate the kind words.

You exactly understand the whole vibe of the project. That could word for word be our press bio. Glad to see you back.

Thank you. The trick is a trucktonne of the on-board reverb and delay, always. Excited to see what you come up with this year. Mainly exposed to your work via watching back the Discord streams. Mr. Dr. Cat.

This was written for the Interrupt Festival in Aus in mind, but unfortunately we're not in a stadium due to budget (audience) limitations. Ha!
Thanks for the kind words. Pleased to see you back here.

I really, really appreciate the kind feedback. I "learned" tracking on a Game Boy, so have felt a essentially this way. Happy WB26.
