@timrowe.org you can find me on instagram mostly. 😃 lill.strumpa is my name there as well. And on itch.io

Testing harmonic modes on Lil'SockTracker. The block version feels chunky and well behaved, and the arpeggio version immediately becomes more curious.

Do you prefer writing loops or full song structures? #gamemusic #makingmusic #musicmaking

Just a tiny melody and some arpeggio chords from my homemade synth/tracker. 🎛️✨ Right now I'm mostly poking buttons, hunting bugs, and seeing what happens. #diysynth #8bitmusic #trackermusic #musictech #homemadesynth

It started as: "I wonder if I could build my own synth?" Today I'm making music on it. Still feels a little unreal. 🎛️✨ #diysynth #8bitmusic #trackermusic #musictech #homemadesynth

part 4 of making a loop - counter melodies same trick again but now I try to “dance around” the main melody filling the empty spaces instead of stacking more notes do you use counter melodies, or keep things simple? #musicmaking #polyend #tutorial #chiptune #trackermusic #videogamemusic

part 3 of building a tiny loop 🎶 I don’t begin with a melody I begin with a rhythm just one note, over and over, until something clicks then I go back and shape the notes using the chords as a guide how do you usually write melodies? #polyend #trackermusic #chiptune #tutorial #gamemusic #workflow

part 2 of building a tiny loop 🎶 this time: bass I keep it very simple here just the root note of each chord, one note per beat sometimes simple is exactly what the loop needs ✨ what do you usually do with your basslines? #polyend #musictracker #tutorial #chiptune #videogamemusic

I thought it could be fun to show how I usually build a little song loop 🌸 First up: harmony. Then bass. Then melody. Do you have a favorite way to start a track? #polyend #chiptune #musictracker #videogamemusic #tutorial
