And now for something completely different. I used the beepbox.co website to do another chiptune (I did several two years or so ago) for the instrumental festival. I'm still learning the art of chiptune composing, but that site makes it easy to try out ideas.

The just sounds like it has come from Japan or China , very interesting composition with a very melodic modal feel to the notes you have played , i am amazed off the variation of music on this Site , and this is one of those arrangements that have me saying "how did he do that" and where did he get  the idea,s from to play the piece , great imagination and song

Each adventure starts with one step and it sounds from the drumbeat on, you were having quite an adventure

I had no idea what chiptune music is, so I had to Google it. Interesting. I thought you did really well here, a good combination of sounds and some great "twiddly bits". I enjoyed this a lot and it sounds just like some of the Yellow Magic Orchestra stuff that I used to love in the 80s. Not sure if that was what you were going for, but it worked well. Very cool and quite different.

Very cool and different.  I also had no idea what chiptune music is but I will check it out.

Quirky, inventive and really interesting / inspiring. I do like the sound of chiptune stuff, which is basically the squashed digital sounds of 80's arcade games. Which I also love. There's some great chinese melodies going on too - a bit 'Enter the Dragon'. Excellent!

Creative and unique, to be sure. Love the combination of various soundss. I've heard a number of chiptune covers, but I don't think I've heard an original composition before. Very well done.
There are only three kinds of drummers. Those who can count, and those who can't.

Nice oriental vibe!

Totally different kind of music from you, but it works!

Very good. I had a quick look at that site too to see the software... it was a bit beyond me though. You got some really interesting noises going on and it's important to open our eyes to new things or we don't improve... very cool.

Very cool!
I'm familiar with this style of music because my kids are heavily influenced and involved in the culture.
What started out as "Speed Racer" has now exploded in the west.
Anyhow,  what you did here is great, it's what it should be all about- exploration,  creation, and joy.
Congrats!
