Insert a cassette tape first

This song is oooold. I might reprise it one day.

I composed this song in late September on OnlineSequencer.net. I had gotten into music composition a year prior and tried to compose for a cancelled "badge hunt" game of mine on Roblox (Badge hunt games are basically games where you scout for easter eggs), yet my work was monotone and very basic.

After a pretty long hiatus, I decided to actually learn how to compose and learned about how chords are the backbone of any sort of melody. I made a string of four chords which sounded nice together, which is called a chord progression. I then added a melody, some electronic percussion, and a violin-like synth to sing the outro. And there I had it - my first song with actual chord progression and proper composition!!

(Side note: I intended to compose this song in 6/8, but I then found out I actually composed in 12/8. And NOW, I found out I actually composed in 4/4 when I was making this page.)

It had been a while since I was interested in music composition, and I decided to get back into it with this song.

A while ago, I came across a video on YouTube titled Let's Make A Music (With Beepbox) made by ShifterChaos. I had tried out beepbox a year prior, but I was confused about how it worked and promptly gave up.

Taking some very need advice from the video, I picked up the ol' Hammer of Composition and hopped on Beepbox to try my hand at Beepbox once more. In the end, I created a pretty basic but acceptable song to start my career afresh. I had read about how the Beatles didn't focus on mastering music theory, and so I attempted to just find funky and rare chords to try and make the song more interesting. The chords I used in the finale are honestly really complicated, and I'm surprised they actually work!

It was only a few days after I composed Prospect and I was tempted to make another song right away. I decided to make a song with legitimate intention (emotion) instead of just throwing out whatever chords I had in the glossary. I decided on making a "sad" song to practice putting emotion into my composition.

I took major inspiration from Path of Borealis, one of the more famous tracks in Half Life 2's soundtrack. If you look closely in the video of this song, you can see green sets of long notes. These are chord stabs that I practically looted from PoB at 1:11-1:28. (lol)

One thing that I immediately disliked about this song after composing it was that it was too loud for a song that's supposed to lament our inability to look at the stars due to urban sprawl. And thus, I decided to try again, and make another song...

Composer's comments:
My favorite of the three songs I've composed on beepbox so far. The variety of instruments is great, and they harmonize pretty well in my opinion. But looking back, I probably should've made the intro a little shorter...

(Also: Yes, the title is a Miracle Musical reference :P )

This was the first song I composed after I finished my experiments on beepbox.

After finishing Humming a Tune at the Universe's Edge, I planned on making a song that could fit as a battle theme in a fighting game (or just a cool song in general).

I took some inspiration from the teased soundtrack of Chapter 5 of Block Tales, a turn-based RPG on Roblox. I scooped up some basic composition ideas from Heights Battle as well Splintered Battle as and set out to compose my song.

Composing this song took about 5 days (with another 5 days inbetween because of procrastination LMAO). This was the first song where I used a key change, although it probably could have been executed better.

Nonetheless, I'm glad that I managed to finish a song, AND it's something that I would actually listen to!

Tried to be more experimental and included a bunch of 7 chords and whatnot. I also used the new Rhodes keyboard Online Sequencer just released.
