I hope I didn't make this song too strange at the end... or make it too difficult to write a melody over these chords...

aaaaa why is everybody telling me I should talk with people and share my music more I can't do these things ;~;

I mean I want to but I can't bring myself to do them ;~;

Ugh, why do I keep having dreams about MIT...? I failed out of there, I got my crappy degree from my crappy local university instead, I /know/ I wasted probably the single most incredible opportunity I'll ever have in my life, stop reminding me, brain...

*sobs, remembering how much of a failure she is ...* ;~;

Maybe I should have posted those last few music toots public instead of unlisted. :<

I also made a MIDI version of Stress last night, while I was figuring out how to use MuseScore, so if anybody would like to hear a version of Stress with less chiptune...

(You can get the .mid version by removing the .mp3.)

Also, here's the notation MuseScore generated: https://raspberry.rosenthalcastle.org/music/Stress.pdf

(Also I stopped making music for a long time sometime after finishing that song... I wanted to make music more like my friends', that wasn't so ... simplistic? and I couldn't do it...)

Re-Crystallized has a kick/snare, but still only has the same three layers + drums setup...

Stress is ... a weird, minimalistic piece? but still keeps itself to "melody, bass, countermelody-ish-thing" in general...

Choco Factory reminds me a LOT of Yoshi's Cookie, honestly. It helps some that WW:DIY's soundfont lends itself to NES-style songs...

Thinking about it, I guess ... most of my music has been heavily, heavily influenced by all the NES/GB music I listened to growing up...

Everything I've written has even been structured similarly: a main melody line, a countermelody, a bassline, sometimes some drums (usually even only a hat/some noise that sounds like a hat, just like NES/GB could make), maximum 4 or so layers/channels, and kept short and looping...

Argh, it feels like every melody I write is in minor and has the same chord progression x.x

I don't really think of myself having any useful occupational title, honestly...

I only call myself a programmer because I was once paid so I could write code for a while; I heavily avoid calling myself a musician because even though I have written music I couldn't explain how I did it; and goodness knows I wouldn't ever consider myself a game designer or developer until I actually finish one of these innumerable games I've started... even though I technically have, years ago...

Maybe ... I should open up to other people... and talk with people, and share ideas, and tell people how much I appreciate them, even if I don't know them very well...
