remaindeer - Toccata Crocuta crocuta

This was an old unfinished track made using the Auxy app for iPhone. The original project file was lost after changing phones, so it was a good opportunity to finally try out FamiStudio, and the song was recreated using that. It’ my first chiptune track, so I have much to learn, but I highly recommend that program. 

The song title is due to some parts sounding like 8-bit hyena noises. The hyena samples on the DPCM channel come from the supplement of the 2010 paper “What the hyena's laugh tells: Sex, age, dominance and individual signature in the giggling call of Crocuta crocuta" by Mathevon et. al. The cover art was generated using Stable Diffusion by stabilityai, ImageMagick, and PowerPoint. 

Greets to el blanco of fulcrum crew, the great CaptainYS, everyone tuning-in, and the organizers of Demosplash 2022!
