FAWM: "Drinks And Nibbles"

Drinks And Nibbles

Liner Notes

A combination of brief electro bits and longer rock elements. Named after a vague idea for what the (unwritten) lyrics were going to be after my previous song - they were going to be about getting snacks for "the visitor"...

Some of the sounds are produced using SynthCart, a music making cartridge for the Atari 2600 (it can be used on original hardware or emulation). You can download the ROM file from the author's site here: https://www.qotile.net/synth.html

The main rock outs were done using Kontakt 7 instruments, in Renoise.

As stated there were going to be lyrics, but in the end I decided it would take up too much time, and I need to catch up after having joined slightly late - I might add some at some point later.

That's cool that you used Kontakt within Renoise. It sounds like actual playing. Also dig the 2600 sounds. My favorite 2600 song is Tunnel Runnerr; it’s so dumb it's great.

Great follow-up to the first piece.

I like how the dissonance halfway thru suggests the idea that getting "snacks for the visitor" could be a kind of resistance and fighting back against the terror droids :-)

Go get 'em!

The Atari section feels wonderfully like something I'd hear when playing California Games or something and the rock section is a killer riff! Love the wild drums too.
