SomethingUnreal | [Touhou] Electric River (Komachi's Theme Techno Remix) [HD] @SomethingUnreal | Uploaded 15 years ago | Updated 14 hours ago
I made this this slowish techno remix of Komachi Onozuka's theme (Higan Retour ~ Riverside View) on the spur of the moment, some time last year. "Electric" since it's techno, "River" due to Komachi's job of ferrying souls along a river... that, and the whole electricity/water thing worked out nicely, heh.
I've finally recorded a video of me playing the simfile (along with my SM lights responding to my keypresses, and a random scythe which I've had since some halloween before I even knew about Touhou), so I can finally upload the music with the video to here, YouTube. Background image by Yuuki Eishi.
It starts off sounding very electronic, but turns to techno with a few hints of rock (I guess). The ways in which I used the various melodies within Komachis theme is original (I didnt base it on anything, unlike my Unlocked Girl re-make). Of course, there are some of my own fast harmonizing melodies in here too.

Dnstje, a friend of mine, made this remote-controlled yukkuri Reimu head, which also has a speaker for playing sound from things such as an iPhone connected to the controller. A bunch of Touhou fans gathered around us, so Dnstje played some Touhou-related remixes on the yukkuri as we all chased it around the various rooms of the Abunai convention, seeing everyones reactions. =D
The alarms at 03:13 and 03:31 were set off by the FM transmitter (controller). xD
Sorry for the many fast-forwarded clips, but it was VERY hard to squeeze about 25 minutes of footage down to the length of the song. I tried to completely remove the most boring parts, and I sped up the parts where it took a while for anything different to happen.")

![[Touhou] Remilias Theme, Chiptune-Style (+ Random Intro)](https://i.ytimg.com/vi/vPUXIwvdxTQ/hqdefault.jpg "[Touhou] Remilias Theme, Chiptune-Style (+ Random Intro)
Turns a bit Master Spark at the end.
Remilias theme starts at 0:30 seconds and is called Septette for a Dead Princess (「亡き皇女の為のセプテット」), from Touhou 06 Embodiment of Scarlet Devil, rearranged a little and whatnot. It has some little intro at the begining to show off the different sounds. Thats all this was originally going to be, then I decided to take it further. =D
This is a step up from the usual bleeper-style stuff I make. It sounds like some ancient games consoles music.
This is the latest version of my Bleeper Music Maker. Well, 4 of them, running together! One does percussion (noise), one does the melody of Remis theme (triangle), and the other 2 share the same file but ones playing Note 1 (bass, square) and the other ones playing Note 2 (some weird harmonizing melodies I made up).
On this version (revision 130), you can change the sound FMOD creates from being only square. Also theres a new mod, Synchronized Play, which makes it start playing at a certain time. Set them all up to start at the same time and you can easily get them all to play in sync with each other. =D Oh, and FMOD doesnt make annoying clicking noises when going from note to note anymore if you set Note/Silence Ratio to 100% (still does when going from note to silence or vice versa, though ><).

I re-made Unlocked Girl (originally by IOSYS) from scratch. Its a kind of Robbi-985 Remix. (Thats the name I tend to go by the most online). The voice is SUPPOSED to sound electronic. Im ashamed to say this, but Miku didnt really suit. As usual, if you want to know what I used to do it, all infos at the end of the video (credits).
If you like the sound of it, PLEASE download the high-quality stereo MP3. YouTubes mono compression has lost a lot of detail.
The MP3 links at the end of this description.
The only downside is that the download speed is kinda slow, but I think the final result makes up for that. ;P
Oh, and please, please comment! :D
EDIT: Nooo! Ive just noticed a typo. >_<
At 03:26, its umare. Not umaru.
I thought Id fixed all the typos... =/ Meh

![[4 Singing Motors] Koi No Tenshi Mai Orite [HD]](https://i.ytimg.com/vi/wIBX-G8Mikw/hqdefault.jpg "[4 Singing Motors] Koi No Tenshi Mai Orite [HD]
Now there are 4 motors singing together! Perhaps this is an early Christmas video...? It was originally just going to be a test, but I decided to upload a proper video of it. Still, the sound recording is experimental. I want to find a way that doesnt hear a thump when a DC motor starts and stops spinning.
The music was used in the Christmas special of the anime Love Hina, and is originally sung by Yui Horie and Yukari Tamura (Yamato Nadeshiko).
My laptop runs a program of mine that plays a MIDI file, and sends info about certain notes to an Arduino. The Arduino then shows info on an LCD, switches the 2 stepper motors via 8 MOSFETs, and passes on info for the 2 DC motors to a separate motor speed controller (Sabertooth 2X5), which controls those 2 motors. I think these DC motors are much more suited to the higher notes of a singing voice than the stepper motors are. Likewise, the steppers are certainly better for bass notes. Together, they make a team. =D
The stepper motors and DC motors are running from separate power supplies - 12V for steppers, 15V for DC motors - as I havent found a reliable way to compensate for the drop in voltage that the stepper motors cause when they run (this causes the DC motors to slow down a little).
More info is in the video! =)
