This was written for the Battle of the Bits Winter Chip XVI. It's kind of a collection of new (for me) techniques with TIATracker that allow for more flexibility in stuff I can do, like the arpeggiated section at 0:50- by using tons of patterns that are cut up into smaller chunks I can save a lot of space with repetitive patterns like that. Unfortunately I didn't have enough instruments to change volumes during that section, which I would have to build the track around to accomplish (there are only 7 instruments per track, and that instrument takes two instrument slots).
