This one stemmed from a simple yet ingenious thought I had last year,
about how would this track from Kebu's first studio album "To Jupiter and
Back" would have sounded like if it was composed for soundchips such as
the Ricoh 2A03, Konami VRC6, or even the Dirtywave M8's wavetable one;
this was the result of many hours, many months of dragging along the pro-
duction and fixing all throughout all of this, including trimming and
picking out the best single-cycle samples that sound uncommon yet quite
doable to my ears. For this, aside from the VRC6-inspired waveforms from
covers past, I also included a pack of folded sine, sampled from the sine
out of BogAudio's Sine Osc. module, squeezed in through AS's Folder, in
varying fold levels, from none at all, to around four (4) times.
I hope this chip-electro take of mine does the original some justice,
even through the limitations I encountered after that inital spike at the
very start.
