Close to a year ago I wrote about making two songs in Milkytracker. Well today, I have a new one! An Ode to Cleaning Robots:

(Here's a direct link, if the audio tag above doesn't work!)

And here's the Milkytracker source file should you want to look at it. This song is released as CC BY-SA 4.0 International, so have fun with it.

The goal here was to test out the new Milkytracker synthesizer, which is pretty good! All the samples in this song were generated within Milkytracker itself. Less surprising for the robot noises, but also the "strings" too.

I feel like I am getting better at making music; things are starting to feel more layered and like the kind of music I actually want to put out. It's nice! Milkytracker remains a comfortable place for me to do it.

I have a pretty clear vision in my head about a music video that could go with this one, and I'd like to do it, but who knows if I'll have time. Probably not!

There's so much else going on, I keep thinking "I need to blog, I need to blog, I need to blog about it" but I haven't been writing about nearly anything. But hey, I wrote about this song! Hope you enjoy it.
