zabutom - my alien shoes (2004)

Another Fast Tracker II tune!
As I remember this, for some reason I was on my Nokia 3310 and composing this little melody on the "ringtone composer app", basically some form of simplified MML scripting. I converted it to Fast Tracker 2, built this tune based on it and named it "waxpr0p.xm", because I had a wax blockage in one of my ears. It was later renamed "my alien shoes", inspired by my good friend lithis choice to name one of his tracks "blue shoe vortex" and I thought that was pretty cool.
I can't remember if it was released anywhere - I don't seem to find any trace of it in the scene, but I have a vague memory of a "they musicdisk" does it exist? Does anyone know? Who are "they"?
Released as part of my "Lost Tapes 1" album on @DataAirlinesRecords

the beginning of this track always makes me feel like i’m spinning in circles lol

[@zabutom]

this is in fact, kinda how I felt while writing that first part!
having your ear blocked messes up your balance. it all worked out nicely in the end eventually :)

[@zaxolotl]

I like how weird this one is, and it has some super cool percussion.....

[@zabutom]

thank you!
there's alot more weirdness in store.. :)

[@et1999cc_chip]

This is my favorite song from Lost Tapes 1, so exciting to see it from FastTracker 2!

[@zabutom]

Thank you very much!
I just got an account at modarchive, so I'll upload this one (and more) there.

I love the fact that there is a story behind every tracks you've made and that you share it with us !

[@zabutom]

For sure, every track is like a separate diary entry that brings to mind events, situations, thoughts and emotions in my life at that point. I could probably talk at length and go more into depth around some of these tracks that feel extra significant to me. Thank you for your comment!

Oooh love this one, probably my favorite track off of lost tapes! Very delicious breakbeats

[@zabutom]

thank you, glad to hear that.
I was experimenting with combining two different waveforms (like one smooth and one sharp) with different volume envelopes.
