This is the winner tune of the tiny tracked music compo at Evoke 2011.
The track was optimized heavily to fit into the 64k limit of the compo. MO3
with low quality OGG samples was used to squeeze the file down to around 75k
and then it was zipped to finally reach 64k. Now you are listening to the
original version with higher quality (but still cut down) samples. The MO3
version doesn't loop properly as some pattern commands were left out to save
some space. Looking at the patterns and instrument settings, you will also
see that they were optimized heavily for small size. A new pattern has been
added in this version to improve the breakdown part a bit.
OK, enough tech wankery talk for now. I'm very pleased with this track. I
like the positive vibes and all the nice samples from my new Yamaha AN1x.
This is my first released tunes which uses some samples from it. All melodic
samples are from JayB's bank, if you own an AN1x, you should totally get it:

Some great trance sounds for a Virtual Analog synth that hasn't dated very
much yet. :)
And if you wonder about the stupid song title: I wanted a name that sounds
happy and positive, but I also somehow wanted to include the fact that most
of the melodies are played on a pentatonic scale. It's simple as that. :)
OK, that's all for now. I hope you like this upbeat track, too!
