This is a time lapse of my pixel art «Groovy Tower». I edited out breaks, and there were some instances where I forgot to press record again lol, so its 80% of the process. (The pop-up windows are not captured either. Much like last time. Ill find a better way to record these so the color-mixer shows as well)
Finished artwork:

![Meltdown [Techno/Game Music]](https://i.ytimg.com/vi/yqIpaggHcx4/mqdefault.jpg "Meltdown [Techno/Game Music]
This music is a spiritual successor to my old track Radioactive Built from the same concept, but it turned into a completely different thing in the end(apart from the stabbing synth vaguely resembling the original climax pattern.)
I spent so long with this, I deconstructed it and rebuilt it like 3 times, trying to get a better understanding of stereo-space. And pushing the detail on the video a bit longer this time as well.
This is more in the ways of the old when it comes to composition style, taking a lot from my style 8 years ago where I would mostly stick to 1-2 patterns of bass but elaborate on top of it with arpeggios and chords. Id like to think Im much better at it now.
This has since been featured in games like Roblox / Epic Minigames.

Its October, and Halloween season! I spent most of this year mastering my album VAST, and some of the tracks sound so much cleaner that I decided to give them a re-upload. I will not do this with all of the album, nor the exclusives. But there might be a few more down the line. Enjoy!
