Weird kid lookin' at cha

Well, I don't know if I must feel proud or embarrased about this one. I think it's kinda fun but pretty weird, and as usual I would have loved to add some more melodies to it, because it was basically born as a ProTracker exercised that was then moved to FastTracker (running on DOSBox within Retropie on a Raspberry Pi!)...
I miss some kind of peaceful pad over it or something, though the cuts were added last minute using a lot of pitched down "atmospheric" noise effects of cristals and glass items. Original samples were taken from the "Chaos" part of the classic Budbrain megademo, back from the Amiga days (in case anyone remembers).
Cooked over about 5 hours prior to the deadline. I spent most of the time restoring some "bright and life" to those original 8 bit samples, and I wonder if I should use clean synths instead of this sonic overequalized mess
I was aiming to the excellent Grillo/Ecso type of sound but ended like this, so go figure...
Hope you find it kinda funny
UPDATE: I actually revisited it and added some extra elements and some extra tweaks. Please have a listen
