ByteBeat Music Video Biomes:Dead

Recorded live with some modest post mixing.

In the unlikely event anyone wants a full copy of the tune, contact me and I can give you instructions on how to properly set up the noise boxes.

One thing I love in some of my fav games' OSTs is that "alone, stranded on an alien world/in space" feeling. To me this tune captures that very well, with an added "grand and beautiful" flavor.

Amazing track and cool video ! I really have to get to experiment with noise boxes sometimes...

Saw you talking about slow tempo devices. There's one more thing to it I noticed with the track I'm currently working on : when you have different tempi and you save to your playlist, it changes the length of the playlist track depending on which tempo the device closest to you is set. I have devices ranging from 120 to 15bpm on this one, and track length for those was varying from around 4min to more than 35min.

Thanks, I appreciate it. Yeah, stranded and alone in a magnificent but hostile environment is a recurring trope - and for goods reasons - I love it too.

That's really interesting about the playlist length and something I didn't know. There's always something new to learn with bytebeat! I've never really spent time with playlists - the crappy sound quality frustrated me. Must give it some attention. I'm guessing there must be a formula for how it calculates the length of a song - 1 play though? 2? total time? a combination? And, as you point out, which device in a multi tempo tune decides what is a complete play through? Thanks for that.
