Balkan Chiptune music

Here's a track 2 tracks 3 tracks 4 tracks (ah ah ah) from my chiptune album that's in the works ... all inspired by traditional songs from Bulgarian folklore Some of the most unique music in the world - I thought that the 8-bit treatment was fitting given the Slavic roots akin to Tetris.

And yes, this is what I've been spending my free time on instead of my game!

The third one would have been a good fit as "town music" in an RPG.

I think this one sounds ridiculously like perfect town music. Haven't covered it though. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O7il8yXZ ... X&index=46

Original style of music and interesting tonalities, but honestly becomes quite annoying after a few minutes.

Very cool! I like Balkan music in general, and there has been far too little influence of it in NES music until now

I enjoyed all of these a whole bunch. Arps weren't too overpowering. It tells me I should listen to those folk songs and instruments.

Recently posted a couple ones I'm proud of:

These are excellent! Are they constructed for the base NES hardware, or do they require expansion audio?

It's all faked - I use Propellerhead Reason stock synths in custom combis and a bunch of tricks. I roughly limit it to as if it was 2 NES's mixed together + processing and 1 other non-NES sound.

So I have 8 or 9 tracks done for the album, wanted to do just a couple more, ended up putting 9 more source videos in the folder!!!

I think I'm afraid of this turning into obsession and becoming "the ethnic chiptune guy".

Made another one ... this time from Romania.
