From Chip Chop 17; "HEY THERE CHIP CHOP 17 LISTENER! THIS IS ASIKWUSPULSE WRITING, AND THE TUNE YOU ARE HEARING RIGHT NOW IS MY WORK FOR THIS COMPILATION (AND I THINK IT COUNTS AS MY FIRST EVER WORK FOR THE DEMOSCENE?). IT'S 2024 WHEN I'M WRITING THIS, AND THIS TUNE WAS FINISHED BACK IN 2021. I WEREN'T TOO FAMILIAR WITH THE AMIGA MOD FORMAT BACK THEN, AND I REMEMBER IT WAS A BIT OF A CHALLENGE TO COME UP WITH SOMETHING, ESPECIALLY WHEN CHIP CHOP IS CHIPTUNE, AND THAT THE MODULE HAS TO BE MAX BETWEEN 20-30 KB. I WASN'T GONNA PASS UP THE OPPORTUNITY, AND I LET THE IDEAS COME NATURALLY. I HAD WRITTEN SOME CHIPTUNES BEFORE IN IT FORMAT IN A SMALL PROJECT I CALL FREEDRIVE CHIPTUNE, WHERE I RATHER THAN CHIP-WAVEFORM SAMPLES USE BYTE-SAMPLES (THEY'RE SIMILAR IN SIZE, BUT THE SAMPLE HAS AN ATTACK PORTION BEFORE THE LOOP). I THINK THAT ALONG WITH MY STYLE THAT IS KINDA A MIX OF SOUND-ADOPTIONS FROM MUSIC I LISTEN TO, AMONG WHICH TRACKER MUSIC IS PRESENT, IS THE APPROACH I HAD FOR THIS TUNE. I THINK YOU CAN NOTICE THAT I HAVE A STRONG TASTE FOR FUNK AND JAZZ-FUSION, EVEN THOUGH I LIKE A LOT OF GENRES LIKE METAL, ROCK, POP, ETC. WHAT I'VE RECENTLY HEARD CAN BE DEFINED AS A MUSIC OMNIVORE HAHA! BUT I TEND TO MOST OF THE TIMES NOT GET SATISFIED WITH JUST THE SIMPLE SOUND. I LIKE TO SPRINKLE THINGS UP WITH MORE DETAILS (NOT ONLY IN MUSIC... AHEM THIS MESSAGE IS STARTING TO GET LONG AHEM...). ANYWAYS THAT IS THE BACKGROUND OF THIS TUNE. I WANNA THANK DESIRE FOR INVITING ME TO CONTRIBUTE FOR CHIP CHOP 17, THE PEOPLE BEHIND THIS COMPILATION FOR PUTTING IT TOGETHER, AND I WANNA THANK YOU FOR LISTENING! YOU CAN FIND ME ON SOUNDCLOUD, MODARCHIVE.ORG, BANDCAMP, BATTLE OF THE BITS, X (NOT THAT ACTIVE HERE, RIP TWITTER) AND NOW ALSO INSTAGRAM!
