8-bit Firebird

[@dukeofcurls3183]

And now we wait for Petrushka to complete the trilogy

[@gcw6444]

My thoughts exactly!

[@loganarichey4003]

I can't believe you did the entire Firebird! Doing this in Famitracker must have been a Herculean task! Congratulations! 🙌

[@Vexalord]

And the ballet version, not the suite version! Insane!

[@m.kostoglod7949]

Yeah, I was shocked when I timejumped to Danse Infernale, to see the abrupt fff hit, but instead saw the ballet version buildup. And confirmed it after looking at the length of the video

[@henrybrant-z4l]

there are many free MIDI versions of this online. It's still rather fun.

[@SimonPhoenix1985]

@@m.kostoglod7949 Yeah, with G#0

[@Neptunequeen42]

This is breathtaking work. I really have no other descriptor for it. I almost feel like I appreciate this entire piece more when I can hear every little harmony and line from the same “instrument”, the entire structure is so much more audible this way! It really illustrates how older video game music relied heavily on classical music structure, because it sounds so similar to NES dungeon crawler music at times.

[@Wildbillhitchcock]

I don't think I've ever been more excited about anything else coming out than this.

[@simonkawasaki4229]

This is amazing. You are amazing. Cannot imagine the sleepless nights that went into arranging this.

[@onegreenghost3351]

I admire that you stuck to the original version of this. Good rendition.

[@preblalar8798]

Oh... My... God... Can't believe anybody would do this, but...I love it!

[@simonprecheurllarena]

An absolute masterpiece in composition, but also arrangement from your part.

[@8GigueBits]

Thank you! Also glad to see you've had The Carnival of the Planets performed at a handful of events.

[@simonprecheurllarena]

@@8GigueBits Thank you very much for noticing :) I'm doing a few more this year! And I wish you all the best for your upcoming projects, I'll be watching!

My god, you're a madman Excellent work!

[@blackkeys00]

Wow firebird is one of my favorite pieces thank you for doing this insane work!

[@SouenInformation]

OH MY GOD... Why didn't this channel catch my eye before. Great works! Excellent!!! I eagerly await Petrouchka.

[@mrnnhnz]

Nice work! And not just the suite, but the whole Firebird. Good on you, it was a success.

[@WillSavino]

An insane accomplishment. Been looking forward ot this for ages. Congrats!

[@SL6NtheNorseman]

Another Masterpiece!!! Very exciting

[@League-of-Losers]

THE FACT THAT THERES NOT MORE VIEWS IS KILLING ME

[@jgio5089]

I’m really glad you finally made it hehe. I hope, with time of course, you could make the suite if you can and want of course

[@Sprigatito_x]

Just my most honest and deepest wow

[@xr_xharprazoraxtra5428]

10:02 - when you found an item and put it in your inventory

[@evolzippo]

OmG I think the whole song sounds so much better in 8-bit

[@itamarbar9580]

Stravinsky's writing in comparison to its time still baffles me. How could this be in convention of its time? Was its convention wild af?

[@georgeclementep]

El Pajarito de Fuego, el primer tema que me gustó de Stravinsky desde los primeros pizzicatos de las cuerdas

[@stronglytyped]

Incredible work

[@R4MUSICxVx]

I love this

[@ChipsNCellos]

Epic!

[@bmprrr]

It deserves more views bruh

[@Elijah24553]

Does anybody else get 2d metroid vibes when hearing this in an 8 bit style?

[@retromaestro2000]

Do You have the FTM module of this.

[@NewFall]

is there a .wav file for it

[@chicolofi]

Amazing job, congrats! But a lot of noise in those 8 bits.

[@kenjisor]

What version of the Firebird did you base this off of?

[@Vexalord]

What software are you using please?

[@8GigueBits]

Famitracker for the music (used 0cc-Famitracker for this, now I use the latest branch, Dn-Famitracker) Beforehand, Musescore 3 for writing a full-length reduction of the ballet score to study it, and also for exporting some of the DPCM samples I used in Famitracker. Obs to screen-record both Famitracker and NSFPlay. Blender's VSE for stitching segments together, mirroring the NSFPlay output, and generally fix the timing. Blender's Nodes Editor with videos as textures for the outline effect and brightness changes. On my very old computer the final rendering took like 4 consecutive days with aggressive throttling (using Battle Encoder Shirasé) to avoid overstressing my CPU.

[@Mr-Prasguerman]

Mal posso esperar.....

[@Personaje-Droider]

Exelente

[@cerealbowl7038]

What do the colors mean?

[@8GigueBits]

Standard colors in NSFPlay Synthesia. For pulse waves they represent duty cycle: pink is 6.25%, red is 12.5%, orange is 18.75%, yellow is 25%, green is 31.25%, cyan is 37.5%, blue is 43.75%, purple is 50%. You may notice I tend to use specific colours for specific instruments, usually blue for bassoon, purple for clarinets and high flute, green and yellow for strings, red to yellow for oboe. White is for triangle wave, "caucasian skin" pink is for sawtooth wave. On the very left (where the keyboard fades away) there are DMC samples (no idea how the color is chosen, they tend to be shades of blue) and noise (yellow/orange when it's pitched periodic noise, greenish otherwise).

[@othello7]

awesome. what did you use as the visualizer?

[@8GigueBits]

Famitracker and NSFPlay Synthesia, layered together and filtered to get the hollow outline effect.

[@othello7]

@@8GigueBits thanks :D

[@League-of-Losers]

Can we add time stamps??

[@fammalbleHe]

Petrushka next?🥺

[@cactusy467]

Cheeseburgur

[@ruanmoolman6530]

This is awful. It is not music. Stravinsky will be devastated hearing this.

[@jansalomin]

lol no

[@etcetera1995]

'Will be?' You know something we don't know? But seriously tho, dude. People had the same reaction to Stravinsky's own compositons. How is this not playing something on a different instrument?
