It's still snowy, dark and cold where I live so I'm manifesting some summer vibes through this track 😎🏖

This is the very first complete music module I've created using Furnace (https://github.com/tildearrow/furnace) which is a neat free chiptune tracker program that can be used to create music for a wide variety of platforms, ranging from video game consoles to home computers and arcade game hardware. 8-bit, 16-bit, FM synthesis, samples, wavetables, it's all supported.

It is also my first complete Sound Blaster Pro 2/OPL3 tune! I've played around with OPL instruments in OpenMPT previously and also made a collab with Zero using them (https://soundcloud.com/zerothefox/zero-green-x-firage-virtual-vacation-zone) but haven't really been able to come up with anything longer than like 1 minute on my own until now.

The OPL3 FM chip inside Sound Blaster Pro 2 is similar to the one used in the regular Sound Blaster but it has twice the amount of channels, more operator waveforms and the neat ability to do more complex 4-operator FM synth sounds by combining two channels into one.

Also if anyone's wondering, there is no Splash Beach Party 1. I just felt like using the initials of the soundcard I was working with for the song title.
