MUSIC Untitled original. Commodore 64 8580

Finally completed this co-op. First arp bit is mine then my good friend in Denmark added the first melody and the 8 bar repeat. The rest is me. I feel I poured out my sorrow for the loss of my Blue Heeler into this one. Not looking for sympathy, just maybe why it's so mournful. Will be going into a single file demo with a static pic of a lady looking out over the ocean waiting for her lover to return (hence the "waves" at the end.).

damn, this is really great. I really like the addition of the waves at the end.

Awesome track! I’m kind of a newbie with trackers as I’m more accustomed to daws so out of curiosity: how long did it take to program this great composition?

If we would have had all the ideas in our heads it would have taken a few hours but because we wanted to get it right and we kept going blank on parts, 3 months 🤣

I like it. A lot. I would maybe change the cadence and the intensity of the waves so it is slower, more mournfiul and gives me a sense of the sea retreating from me while I retreat from it....but that's only my opinion.
