Liner Notes
Trackers (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Music_tracker) are a kind of music sequencers that originated in the late 80s – and they were very popular with people from the demoscene, a subculture devoted to making audiovisual art with intricate code that only takes up a minuscule amount of disk space. The demoscene is still thriving today, and trackers have seen a bit of a resurgence lately.
I admire demoscene artists, and I had long wanted to make a song in a tracker, so I sat down with OpenMPT and fell down a rabbit hole. I also wanted to make something for the 2x4 challenge (2 melody instruments, 4 drum instruments).
