Late last year, I started writing some NES-inspired 8-bit music—I say ‘inspired’, because I used OpenMPT and YMCK’s Magical 8bit Plug instead of the original hardware. The method might not be much like the real thing but the sound essentially is, including all the original constraints (e.g. being limited to one noise channel, one triangle wave channel, and two pulse wave channels).
I was planning on putting together and releasing an EP-length collection of these ersatz 8-bit tunes but my focus shifted onto other things. It’s been months since I last worked on them, and the odds are most won’t be properly completed. A couple of tracks have been finished, however, and so I packaged them up along with an alternative version of the title track to come up with this:
