A submission by smolio for Weekly Music 2015 22

I'll just submit what I was supposed to for last week. Not sure what direction it's heading in or what it's doing... Maybe some kind of dilapidated toy shop area music?

Also, I'm thinking of getting into FM synthesis. Anybody got suggestions, ideas, advice, (non-scary) tutorials, etc.?

@Gubbles Oh wow really? 80 Yes I played 'em and love the shit out of the music in those games <3 I would've never thought of such a comparison. Paper Mario music's like on some unreal level of musical ingenuity.

Welp, guess that means I should just break down and get FM8 and its beautiful presets then. I want to try to mess around in settings in free-er alternatives, but it's prob more effort than its worth 8/

I dunno if you've played any of the Paper Mario games, but this totally gives off Crystal King vibes.

Also FM synthesis is still a total mystery to me. I just load up a preset in FM8 and try not to tweak it too much or else I'll completely destroy whatever sound I was going for. Good luck. :P

Having fun with sampling. Also having fun with layers.

Gonna be tied up on some other project for the rest of the week so just submitting some altered midi snippets I made long whiles ago. I reversed and sped it up and I'm thinking to take some melodic ideas for a more finished full sounding song... Maybe it'll be next week's attempted song. *obligatory apologies for microsoft wavetable sound*

Trying to see what I can make of a bunch of free soundfonts

Uh-oh, time snuck up on me 8/ Gotta develop this a lot more, but better than nothing right? (It may be hard to hear the first few seconds without headphones)

Some kind of tropical loop thing. Debating whether or not to use for future songs...
