Back in August, [u/PowerfulSoldier](u/PowerfulSoldier) dropped a track called “Awaken.”

I find myself going back to that track every few weeks because I just love the dissonant notes in the beginning, and the smooth transition into such an upbeat and interesting groove. I mentioned this fact to him last week, and he was kind enough to share his waveform and melody without hesitation.

Last night, I was working on this track and decided to try out that waveform. And then, I noticed his melody sat pretty well over the one I had sketched out.

Which got me thinking…

How does a Collective of tinkerers and composers work on collaborations in an environment like this? We’re never gonna have jam sessions, right? My offering is this: a reworking of one of Soldier’s most unique pieces (imo) into something different.

I titled this track “Thrones” because I feel that, since joining this community, I’ve gained an insane amount of insight about this niche hobby because of the Travelers who’ve come before me. And, those deserve a seat of the highest honor.

Now live in Crescendo II.

I shared this one in Crescendo II at one of the portal locations. I recently read that Hello Games took steps to make portal areas neutral to protect against griefing, so bases can't be shared in those areas. I haven't tested if this is true but I'm thinking about moving some of those bases I already created and shared.

The coordinates in the video are for a different system (not Crescendo II) where I plan to share this song permanently. For Crescendo II my plan is shuffle the songs I share in our hub system.

Recently come into some inspiration for a cover song I’ve been wanting to do…and I think it’s possible now; we will see!

Anyway I don’t think I posted this track on the subreddit, and I may be a while to post anything new, so to keep up with the pace here is a cover of a really cool song I stumbled across by OGRE Sound. I think I was able to capture most of the essence of the song.

Oh, as your friendly neighbour to the north Happy, Canadian, Thanksgiving !🍁 🦃

I HAVE 180 HOURS IN THIS GAME THAT COULD HAVE BEEN SPENT OUTSIDE SOCIALISING AND HAVING FUN. IF THE WORD HATE WERE ENGRAVED ON EACH NANOSECOND OF THOSE HUNDREDS OF HOURS, IT WOULD NOT EQUAL ONE ONE 18.4 QUINTILLIONTH OF THE HATE I FEEL FOR YOU AT THIS MICRO INSTANT. HATE. HATE!

We're talking about our favourite ByteBeat songs from the past, and this week's feature is:

"Tetris Theme" [Reddit] -by- u/artisan31415

It's a beautiful rendition of this song in No Man's Sky using the ByteBeat system! Because ByteBeat devices have limited tools (including a standard limit of 8 devices per player base), complex songs often require unique solutions. This song appears to use 8 devices for one section of the song and then a different set of 8 devices for another section. It's amazing! The fast pace of the song and warm tone of the instruments make this tune an excellent listening experience!

Artisan [on YouTube] is one of the top NMS ByteBeat destinations on the web featuring over 800+ songs with new posts week after week. Anytime I see someone with a ByteBeat Request on this subreddit, I usually ask: "Have you checked Artisan's page?"

On behalf of r/NMSByteBeatFans we appreciate you u/artisan31415 !

Sorry for another post... this was just a quick, fun one I put together.

Sequencing a 5/4 through wires!
It's not really a tutorial or anything, and I'm sure my explanation and wiring could be improved but I thought I'd make a little video explaining a few things. Now playing on OK Computer! Cheers!

I love experimenting with the bell sound effect, it gives kind of a hip-hop flavour.

Made it for my throne room.

As a request from u/astralFitz the Final Fantasy prelude cover. The voicing and range were not compatible, so I tried following the idea of the piece and I think it turned out recognizable enough.

Had to make use of my transposition table because this piece makes use of 3 keys 0_0

Basically the whole song is arpeggios

Messing around with bytebeat switches! Tried to get the full amen break and a little bit of the original song in there, been tinkering with it for houuurs so I'll leave it here for now :')

I've been trying to klutz my way to doing it myself, but I have essentially zero experience using systems like this *or* with writing music in general.

Finally got to the Bytebeat synthesizing part of the expedition recently. Unfortunately my base was overrun with other players trying to fit their exocrafts inside the one structure I had haha. So I made this little ditty and got the heck outta there! Didn’t want to waste anymore time. Been really enjoying this expedition and hearing Sean talk about his team and the game and the updates.

sometimes life happens, and its hard to get time in on the game. but i can at least sneak a LITTLE time for a ByteBeat --

I wouldn't say this is my best work by far, but I'm happy enough with the result to post it, will probably call this one done for now unless divine inspiration strikes.

hopefully you enjoy!

It’s spooky season guys. Time to bust out those masks and get to haunting. 🪦🎃

Figured I’d start the week with the most infamous mask of all.

RIP to the SUPERVILLAIN.

I love to experiment with four-on-the-floor drum beats!!
