KASSER SYNTHS- I composed a short piece specifically for this artwork. I followed the idea of having two voices representing two different characters. They dialogue about superation, too big ambitions (1 octave jump) and not succeeding. And finally achieve your goals all in major scale. I related the musical scale with hot colors (copper, gold and orange) that are the ones that hold the electrical circuit. In the second artwork I am preparing the story is the same but the colors are cold and scale is minor. That changes completely the story.
- The music is played using a Yamaha chip and it was composed with a chiptune tracker called Deflemask. With this software I can create a VGM file and what I have implemented in the code is basically a VGM player.
- I would like to say that Yamaha made a great job with this FM chip (YM2612 / YM3438) for the Genesis/Megadrive. 6 FM channels and one of this channel could be used as DAC and be able to play real WAV sound. FM Synthesis was broadly used in Yamaha synthesizers like the DX7 and defined the sound of a whole generation
