It's been many moons since I've posted something here but I'm back in the 8-bit saddle (at least until I find a new job) so here's something new.

Like all my stuff it doesn't sound at all like VGM but whatever. I was going for a spacey, floaty, twinkly kind of sound inspired by some bass music artists like Starkey. So of course it's best experienced with headphones or speakers that can reproduce bass.

I know, it's not very long, but I'm a perfectionist and I'm rusty so what might take some of the masters in here a few hours takes me a week.

As always feedback/constructive criticism is most welcome.

Enjoy!

Here's a soundclound link as well: [url=https://soundcloud.com/r0br0/laser-shower]https://soundcloud.com/r0br0/laser-shower

This sounds like video game music, what're you talking about? Sounds very PS2/Dreamcast.

I like the coupling of the lead instrument, the sound created definitely complements the cold-ish sound of the rest of the song.

I'd disagree with the titling of this song, though, it sounds more like an adventure through an icy valley in a JRPG.

Probably should have been more specific. I mean it doesn't sound like VGM from the NES era. I like your PS2/Dreamcast comparison.

The title...ya it could be better. I hit ctrl+s compulsively like all the time so I tend to just name it the first thing I think of and it's usually dumb. They could be ice lasers though... maybe that's a thing...

Thanks for listening!

It reminds me of what my friend plays on the radio. Very stoner-y in a good way (he's not a stoner, though he does have a leather jacket, a goatee, white-man's-afro).

@Rushjet: thanks! kind words from someone as talented and prolific as yourself are quite nice to hear.

@L77: haha, I am a stoner (but have none of those things, strangely) so thanks.

@Vectorman: That's what I was going for, thanks! Samples are from Tecmo Bowl and Track and Field.

@L77: Have you seen a ginger with an afro? The word "clownish" comes to mind.

What if I told you I was a ginger without an afro, but somewhat long hair?

I, personally, HAVE seen a ginger with an afro. A rather inglorious sight.

Also, ice lasers could refer to lasers that are concentrated by ice instead of glass. Even though that would be horribly inefficient.

Son, I promise that you have never seen a mane as glorious as his. Possibly, it's the tallness, the goatee, and the aviator glasses that save him, but trust me, he is quite a sight.

This thread is now hair style chat.

Fauxhawks: douchey or just obnoxious?

99% obnoxious, 300% douchey.
Now beehives, that's where it's at.

Why didn't I notice this before? This is really good! I love what you did with the Triangle, very creative.
