FamiTastik Vol. 2
released June 26, 2021
"After half a year of VGM covers and experimental chiptunes, I decided to bring back FamiTastik and gauge my learnings during these months. Following the spirit of Vol.1, FamiTastik Vol.2 is a collection of stories yet untold and sceneries yet unseen narrated through videogame music."Released on IiIypad [III-118]:
Mandelbit
released March 14, 2021
"The first track of this EP, "Mandelbit", started as an attempt to make music as mesmerizing and shimmering as Sevish's incredible work, all whilst using FamiTracker (a music tracker for the NES/Famicom-systems). From there on, it has been a journey of experimenting and having fun with the VRC6 expansion chip, trying to see how far I could get with it. Nonetheless, there is no attempt of abiding to any specific tuning or temperament in any of these tracks. The methods used were rather simple: detuning and pitch bending every single note arbitrarily until it all sounded fun enough."
FamiTastik Vol. 1
released January 21, 2021
"FamiTastik is my introduction to chiptune as a whole. These tracks started out as my first steps towards learning how to use FamiTracker and ended up expanding into a whole VGM album with different sceneries in mind, so I decided to release them a bit more formally. Jake Kaufman's OST for Shovel Knight was the music I listened to the most for quite a while, and after trying to figure out how it was all made, we ended up here. This is, in some sense, a tribute to his music."
Palpitation
released January 5, 2021
"This track is a musical exploration of anxiety in all of its forms. The auditory hallucinations and heartbeats resonating in the chest as musical elements. The instability and vulnerability during the peak of a meltdown. Vision zooming in and out. The bittersweet mixture of emotions. There's angst and regret, but also a touch of warmth from childhood flashbacks. Most importantly, the beauty that can be found in all of it."
