Power Socket

By Devieus on January 30, 2024 12:45 am

The initial composing was done by Ebrit, which basically is just it literally stealing the intro to a song by I Made Too Much Pasta, but that just makes us one of the great artists, because this sounds nothing like it at all; so not a copy, but a theft. It also means this is submitted at the earliest moment, so that's nice.

Heavy guitars are fun, and it's becoming quite clear to me how good of hypefolks the birds are, just sort of hooks I can put wherever so it's never dull. Even though I did put a funny drum in it, even that gets boring after a few seconds, so they're clutch on drawing attention.

Finally, a word to the wise: if you half your tempo, you get twice the song for the same effort.

And if you paulstretch your song, you can squeeze an hour-long ambient album out of it. big_smile
This is cool. Feels like it's got a sort of measured swagger to it, if that makes any sense.

Fat and smashy!

I like this a lot, especially the drums! Great work

I feel like you're creating a new music genre. This has the signature voice of your generator mixed with heavy guitars. It is a distant cousin of Indus metal, with more birds and lighter sound. Indus chiptune metal? I am not sure how to name it but I sure enjoy it. I'd play a game with that a as a soundtrack.

Banger!! Nice work smile

plug it in, plug it in

yeah this is some sweet chiptune metal big and stompin'

You can, it is, it does, and it does. A lot of power in this one.

I think just chip metal works? Though there are a great many variants of metal, so take your pick.

She did great, and maybe someday we can perform this live. It's a tricky one to do though, lots of slides and fancy rhythmic footwork.

That's what she said? I don't think she did, but she'd get a kick out of it.

Tasty candy, pounds like a truck. Exactly what it should be.

Crunchy geetar with that melody gave me medieval 8bit rpg vibes.  Like I just entered a secret room where the secret courting dance begins smile  Yais i like!

The halftime feel on this one is great.  I beginning to love chipmetal! Thanks for sharing!

I like the tempo. It has a heroic pride. Let me know when you play live.

It does, in a sense, feel like a sequel to the previous song. Maybe we can pivot to that.

Spread the good word, everyone must know.

I will. No clue when or where, I don't even know where to start.

Duration-wise this would fit on Napalm Death's "Scum" album. Guitar-wise, it might, too, actually!

I don't know them, but I'll take it. We are looking to make them longer, so maybe the tempo has to go down even more.

love the heaviness of those guitars, would love to hear this with some big ol speakers instead of headphones. really fun juxtaposition with the chip leads

Oh wow, I don't think I've listened to enough chip metal before, because this frigging ROCKS! The heavily distorted guitar pairs so nicely with the NES sounding bleeps. Wonderfully done!

This put a smile on my face.

Fun stuff!

The guitars somehow fit perfectly with the bleeps, really like this!

You and me both. Perhaps in concert even.

We've learned it's very underpopulated, but also very appreciated, so we're good making a niche and expanding it.

Birdcore Chip Metal.

what if power sockets chirped like birds?

Chewy guitar tone.  Sounds like music that Dwarves would listen to while drinking on the job.

We'd have a big problem.

I very much doubt that, because they always drink on the job and diggy diggy hole exists.
