Made on Nanoloop using my Analogue Pocket.

Very cool track. I didn't know about this little game boy like machine. Neat!

Maintains that primitivist feeling while also makes you feel a little woozy.  But it's also oddly catchy.  I like when the big sounding synths occasionally burst into the mix and then leave just as quickly as they arrived.

Yeah, the company is Analogue, the product is the Pocket.  It plays all the old 8-bit and 16-bit games, and also comes equipped with Nanoloop, which is used to make music.  I'm very new to it, but learning a little each day!

Thank you Cosmic!  Making songs for WB has helped me learn to 'play' the Pocket.  Rather than record various parts and then combine them on the computer, I create various parts on the device, then quickly switch between them and record it all as one long take.  I recorded about 3 different versions of this as a live performance, each a little different, then uploaded the one I liked best.

That sounds like a really cool way to do it

Love the sounds. I’m a sucker for 8 bit chiptune and videogame beeps n boops music.

Yeah, thank you ineff! I never would have thought of that if it weren't for WB.  It's also a way to mix it up and play different versions of the song each time.

Thanks much!  It's pretty new to me. I've always loved the beeps and boops also, but have never MADE that kind of music until now.
