The music - both in terms of quality and sonic/creative diversity- that is being made with this awesome amazing little tracker just keeps getting better. Thanks to all the amazing musicians who have contributed to this and previous compilations. A joy to listen to and always a source of inspiration!
My special mentions: SYNX - “interpretatio_graeca” is The Real Jam of the lot. It LIGHTS MY BRAIN AND BODY UP with feelings of “I don't merely respect™ but Enjoy Listening To this music.” Great utilization of the upper bound of filesize with the samples, the sounds and mixing and arrangement all feel great to me, groovy rhythms and melodies, it's A Complete Package and something I will probably actually listen to in the future. I am SADDENED that it can't also compress to under 256 kb, I SO BADLY wanted it to have a shot at inclusion! aureolin wyvern - “horizon” is the only other track I immediately replayed because I just liked listening to it. Those chords at the start hooked me instantly, and everything after is just What Sounds Nice to me. Clean, chill, reasonably... *alive* music. donkerbot gets a couple bonus points for being the only(?) other entrant to have written lyrics for a (pretty nice!) melody - and to a much greater, more Actual Song-y extent than I did. I expected more vocals! There were a couple good vocal tracks last year despite the 64 kb limit! And we even have Actually Decent free AI vocalists now - my throat SUCKS (including in medical ways, not limited to the effects of my puberty being interrupted by a pituitary tumor) and my recording environment/hardware is BEYOND TERRIBLE (people sleeping, noisy appliances, SEVEN CATS) but that doesn't have to matter so much anymore because you can just convert a low half-whispered performance into a whole different timbre and key with strong vocal projection and without sacrificing subtleties of articulation or relative pitch and with background noise filtered out FOR FREE IN SECONDS! seriously YOU ALL go play with your voice more, we live in amazing, *enabling* times sk0, PhilipBergwerf, and Logickin all get cookies for their instrument designs. I hope they like cranberry oatmeal cookies. I do. Philipp Waehnert - “Telephone” made me smile. o9 - “HorrowSnow” struck me as pretty cool for such a minimalist entry. That sample can be made to sound pretty ~pretty~! I laughed when, against the odds, there was a *long* silence due to RNG just not triggering anything. It's like that sometimes, it's PART OF IT. (I listened to these all within SunVox while analyzing the project structures, not on UA-cam.) ClintVanWhite and Gdgdgdg Dgdgdgd, stay weird. A number of other entries are Solid™ or Better Than Solid™, good job. And of course, I *love* my own entries. They'd be more polished if they weren't the products of scrapping prior work on other potential compo entries less than a week before the deadline (yet again), but regardless, I made myself *feel things.* 1:24:10 - The quarter-tone-lower reprise of the one chimey melody against that whole backdrop is where I twist a key in my own jaded heart. And the whole second half of Surgeon's Kintsugi is uh... just gorgeous. And it's all synthesized, no samples! [Well technically the harmonica-like one is seeded by a sample sourced from a synth, but.] I'm PROUD, dammit, I have the right! s’yeh good compo y'all 👏👏
Feelings of “I don't merely respect™ but Enjoy Listening To this music.” are mutual, my friend! I've always admired how your playful adventurous spirit comes through in the music you make. This also means a lot, because I know you don't just dole out complements - it's super important that we be honest about the art that moves us, now more than ever!
Great job, folx! My personal faves: spaghet 48:50 telefon 59:08 foton 1:09:16 loochgrup 1:20:49 greviti 2:18:14 Great to see so many familiar names and hear so many fresh tracks!
omg you actually provided the pretty player with the song pack itself I don't know how difficult it is to do it with the special effects done in realtime, but do you think you could change the width, shape or opacity of the notes based on their loudness, pitch, filters and so on? I really like how perhaps the most used fork of NSFPlay displays its note rain effect, I think it would make the player much more awesome in the future Also please include a directory browser within the player, if I want to play a track in the middle of the playlist I'd have to skip quite a lot if there's a lot of tracks

Great to see so many familiar names and hear so many fresh tracks!
Wow, thank you!
Замечательная программа.
Всегда искал что то такое, где акцент именно на синтезе звука.
Здоровья вам, Александр.
