This find made my day, hope it makes yours too.
Feel like comparing it against the final version? I have a video right here: youtube.com/watch?v=PVrTnqGoA0w

I fast-forwarded most of the text.
Just wanted to show my awsome virus-busting power! Yay. Expect more videos soon.
Yeah, I countered all the enemies. And yes, I dont know why but part of the third tutorial was skipped.")

This is townzine, my very first original composition! It was composed for the tilde.town zine, which should be available soon! Why a song for a magazine? I dont know.
Read up for more info:
townzine was made in MONOTONE, the PC speaker tracker. Why MONOTONE? Since Im learning to do music, I figured Id start with something very trivial so I dont get overwhelmed. The PC speaker is nothing but a square wave - no pulse width modulation, no volume controls, no stereo, nothing. Its the most trivial instrument there is.
How was this done? Mostly trial and error. For some parts I tried humming the note I wanted into a pitch detector, but in the end I had to try several notes to see which one fits the most anyway.
I tried a few different things in this song. Of course its not very good, but one has to start somewhere.
What Id like to focus on next time:
- Pick a musical scale and stick with it, instead of guessing
- Try to include more harmony. I did some this time around, mostly full
octaves though
- Make the song longer, but at the same time, stick with a central melody
