about

This is the last tune I made for "Boxymoxy". We noticed that we still needed an intro tune, so on February 24th 2020 I set myself to write it.
In the beginning it was very different from what you hear now: the tune was similar to the first world's one. Probably I wanted to make a sort of medley - if not of the tunes - at least of their "sounds" and atmosphere (actually I tried to make all the tunes coherent with each other, as I always try to do with soundtracks).

The work on this version continued on 25th, when I wrote the bridge. On 27th I wanted to experiment with a different arrangement, using a more "military" bass and an arpeggio, and so I created a second subtune for this. Later I wrote something completely different again which sounds like the "verse" of the final version but with an arpeggio similar to the one of the current "chorus".

On 29th I developed the verse, adding two patterns which would have soon become the chorus; then I modified the verse and added the current arpeggio, and I started to compose the bridge.

About the bridge, something peculiar happens there: there are two (very "cheap") key changes: the first brings the tune 5 halftones up, and the second one adds further 5 halftones to the key, leading to a key which is 2 halftones lower than the original one. Later, when I needed to make the tune loop smoothly, I decided to add a third chorus 1 tone higher: a very cheap key change, again, but it works, at least to my ears... :P

I finalized the tune on 1st March 2020.
In the end it wasn't used... until Antonio and Lobo added another world and decided to use the unused intro tune for it!

Aldo Chiummo Trani, Italy

I've been making music since I was a child. I started making computer music during high school on a 286 PC. In 2010 I made my first SID. In 2014 I entered Atlantis and made music for demos, intros, compos and videogames.

I also have a band (Mongra - since 2002) where I play guitar, flute, occasionally bass, and sing.
I also play tin-whistle. ... more
