FOD is one of the most brilliant chiptune composers of our era, for his early attempts this is some seriously incredible work. Not only does he have mastery over trackers which can be quite esoteric programs to write music in, but he also has a firm understanding of what goes into a well-made composition. I would be lying if I said his music didn't cause me to burst into tears in awe of what he's managed to accomplish here.
"Surfing On A Sine Wave", "Funknitium-99" and "Dreamscaping" are my favorites from FoD. And now this just joined the list of favorites. It's simply amazing.
EDIT: As a lot of people were offended by my comment - I was wrong, it was the "1bit symphony" instead of the 555. I made a 555 timer piano thingie as a child, and I misremembered the schematic - they're pretty similiar :P Below is the original comment, presumably false. Fun fact: The background is actually a real working schematic! The IC is 555, one of the oldest integrated timer circuits, in this configuration it would create audible square-wave noises, by tuning the slider you'd be able to control the pitch.
That's not true. If it were a 555, you would need a timing capacitor and different connections. Notice that there is a button and that the potentiometer is connected to the headphone jack, serving as a volume control. The chip is an AVR microcontroller (ATTINY85 maybe?) from Tristan Perich's "1-Bit Symphony".

people always leave the stupidest fucking comments on music. you fucking smelled some video game shit? because its a chiptune style?? why 'scent'. fucking insane.
Wait, it's a typo? I thought it was intended because of morans, which is the wrong version of morons, a word I don't know, or the only intended "wrong word"
I really need to look into more of FearofDark's stuff. All I know them for is stellar _Jazz Jackrabbit_ remixes, but I know they've done other stuff like this, too.
Humm. The refrain really sound like this one: ruclips.net/video/7gmoPuF3_VM/видео.html I think Gemba Boys used this song as a base for the music played in their demo.
In it's current state this song is pretty good. But it just feels like there is a lot more potential. The melody is nice right now, but with a few touchups this song could become phenomenal. FearOfDark really should remaster this song!
This is one of Fod's first tracks, it's in his album "The early attempts". These songs are just amazing for early attempts
Wait, the early attempts doesn't seem to be on Spotify :(

I think the NE part is redundant, most people just call it a '555' timer.
@@mincrmatt12 Oh yeah, my bad. I was used to the naming scheme from ST Electronics(?), as that's what I used the most a few years back :P

I love the clever use of reverb and phaser effects. It gives a convincing organic/acoustic feel, despite chip tunes not being either, at all!

FearofDark, highly underrated artist.
Literally the most viewed (pure) chiptune artist on RUclips, but he deserves all of it, incredible stuff.
2 morans need to get a brian
Make it 3 morons.

up to 19 Morans.
according to wikipedia a moran is an east african term for an unmarried Maasai or Samburu warrior
@Nightfury Matthew you saved the day, moran
So Brian is an unmarried warrior?
Well they need to get a hold of Brian sometime soon
TF2 engineer:.....what?
We all need a Brian, even unmarried Maasai or Samburu warriors
I've been seeing this in my recommendations for about a year. I'm so sorry I've been neglecting it this far.
RUclips has been trying to make me listen to this with their autoplay function, shame that I had it turned off for majority of that time though.
dude, same
Man, check out FearOfDark's newer albums. They sound absolutely amazing
how can you listen to fearofdark, he so good lmao
That background looks like a Google Doodle.

a google doodle that works to explain tracker music composing at the very basic would be hella cool.
By far my favorite song, I had to search up a 8 bit in every single form to find this perfect song I discovered so long ago
Why don't you try Lapfox music?
Nah I’m goods broski
haha next time just search 'chiptune'
I can hear this song over, and over, and over, and over, and over, and over, and over, and over...!
found this by accident... definitely didn't regret clicking this

how beautiful is this? so happy i found this song
This sounds like a zone theme for a Genesis Era Sonic game.

Getting a strong scent of "Streets of Rage" and " Pokemon TCG" when hearing this.
You have a wonderful mind
Streets of Rage? Why?

I find more and more chiptunes now! the legend is on it's way back!
I've been telling these morans to get a brian for years!
Clicked because of funny title
Stayed for bangin beeps and bustin boops
Hah, I like that typo "Brian". It would've made that sign that much funnier. Aside from that, really great chiptune!
NO I DIDN'T Google 'Get A Brian Morans!' just for the fun of it
+NO I DIDN'T They fixed that
never noticed it lol
Wait, it's a typo? I thought it was intended because of morans, which is the wrong version of morons, a word I don't know, or the only intended "wrong word"
Pretty sure it was intended, since it has the same name on the author's Bandcamp page.

Is that so?

I have found the answer: Its a jack headphone output
Peter Müller A really tiny one.
It's been recommended to me for soo long, but I love that track!
adjust the speed to 1.05x
the song will go up 1 semitones which in this case its actually pretty awesome and very rocking
This Sounds like it could belong in Detlarune. I love it :D
No. :>
the beginning if you speed it up to 1.25 times sounds like one of the tracks in that game

Killer melody good job
This sounds like the theme of a Tutorial on a common adventure game, lol.
Okay
Is that like a.. backhanded compliment or something? I can't tell..
More like a platformer
Sounds more like a theme for a difficult or the final level, in my honest opinion...
fearofdark was on a different level
Reminds me of car rides while playing 3DS/DSiWare games and eating gummy bears or something. I particularly get VVVVVV vibes from this one.

It felt like the song abruptly ended after 4:14.
i'm back here because i saw an ad in which someone's name was Brian Moran
Wait... that first shape made with the cables... no, it couldn't be...
