Thank you so much for listening!!
I want to respond to all of your comments... this might take some doing.
I'm glad you think that - it seemed a good way to open!
I'd always held its variations against it tbh - I may have implied in previous replies in this thread it's not my personal favourite. But, that's so interesting and useful for me to know that that's why you like it!
Again, probably what is for me my least favourite bit of the track. It's a bit too improvisatory, a bit too meandering, or at least that's how I always felt. So, once again I'm reassured, and a little surprised that you like it!
Heehhheeee 
better! The comic 'Future Agents' is by @pilot-obvious and it's one of my favourite things to read. It "goes beyond" the webcomic. There's an awful lot to read and discover - I promise you it will not disappoint!
Perfect! That was the plan! The author refused to discuss the music I wrote or give me any references until I believed I'd finished. They wanted to find out how someone felt about their work, so they just left me to it. And, well identified! There are many science labs (of sorts) in the story, and it does (seem to) take place underground!
Phantasos and The Overture were both meant as 'openings' to different things. The creator of Phantasos embeds that piece at the beginning of every episode, sort of like an 'opening theme' on a tv show.
Yesssss chiptune represent!!! 
Once again, you identify one of my least favourite bits of the track! This is so interesting! That bit always felt too crowded to me, so it's very intriguing and reassuring to me that that's a favourite bit of yours!
Oh perfect! So is the comic!
I always worried that because of this, it had too little variation within itself as a track. I couldn't say for sure, but this seems to be a positive - something that sets it apart perhaps? Either way yes, it is really quite slow compared to many of the others.
Thank you! The first chapter of the comic 'Waxfellow' is called 'The Departure', and this music was meant to be a sort-of-score for that. It wasn't what I originally set out to write, but I liked it too much to start again, and the creator - Tori - really liked it too. So, it stayed.
This, like the comic this piece was based on seems incredibly cryptic yet meaningful.
Helen's comic has a lot going on. There are a lot of characters, they're all doing different things and want different things. I'm glad you noticed this - it's not something other people have commented on much, but definitely trying to give the impression of "a lot going on" is something I really tried to work towards in this one.
Thank you! It's quite an overused, lazy trick of mine to repeat an earlier section and fade it out, putting a filter on it to make it sound as you say 'recorded' - filtered to sound like it's played through some tinny little speaker. But, with this track I actually wrote that bit first, from scratch, and the rest of the piece came later!
Aha! I have a new orchestra! I'm perhaps a little too fond of my brass stabs, and use them far too often. But, they make the most sense in build-ups!
The comic doesn't exist yet! Hence 'In Anticipation of...'. I had to stalk Elliot and Alex a bunch to work out the details of their comic, then I wrote something based on what I'd managed to find out. They seemed to think the piece was quite suitable for their work, but honestly it could have been anything - I had very little to go on indeed for that one.
Thank you so much! I actually just submitted this one to a local radio station this morning... we'll have to see how that goes
Thank you! This one is actually a cheeky little bit of self promotion. L. Tekina - creator of 'GAMEFIXED' is a musician themselves, and we're collaborating together at the moment. So, I wrote something for Yukon that sounded a bit like some of the things we're making for that collaboration. I'm glad you like it! I agree - it is quite intense.
The creator of the comic wanted me to emulate the sound of a musical. If it's useful for you at all, this meant a lot of major 6th chords. I'm not sure how well I did at sounding like a musical - there aren't vocals, so it's hard to tell, but like you say, quite whimsical, with some intensity from the strings.
It needed something a bit shorter to finish on, I think. After so many of the tracks being so dramatic and exciting, I needed something calming to end on, and waves have long been a favourite of mine for doing exactly that.
I'm so glad!! I wrote that piece while in quarantine. I'd just come home to the UK for the first time in almost a year, I was alone in a barn in the countryside for two weeks, and I was kind of lonely. I wrote the first versions of 'Intergalactic Distress Signal' around that time as well. In a very strange place, feeling quite bizarre going through reverse culture shock I wrote two pieces of music that I'm really quite happy with, that seem to be a lot of peoples' favourites! It's not something I could exactly "do again" so like, I guess I'm glad of what came of it, y'know?
Do you mean music software?
I'll usually compose in FL Studio. But, if I want to write chiptune I'll use a tracker - usually milkytracker, or LDSj, which I run on my Gameboy SP with a flash cartridge. I'll also often use Sibelius if I'm working with acoustic instruments for anything.
For a publishing platform, you can probably see I use bandcamp to publish most of my music, since it really is the only free, fair-trade option going for musicians, and it looks so nice!
Thank you again so so much for all your comments! It really made my day to read them all!
@GamerPrincessXI Interesting... I've never had anyone use my music as a ringtone before, but I can definitely see both of those pieces working as one!
