Aside from drawing, I've also had a love for music most of my life. Not just listening to it, but also singing it and making up tunes. Unfortunately, playing an instrument is a skill I sorely lack.

Which is where I got the idea to try composing a tune using the one instrument I had any skill with: my own voice. Using nothing but my phone and Audacity, I recorded and modified a series of 8-second hums, whistles, and beats that I then put together over the course of 2 weeks to turn into the first song I've ever released.

While composing this track, I had video game music in mind, specifically an "underwater / deep crystalline cavern" stage for a platformer game, though my friend  davidn likened it more to "a lost track from Earthbound," which works just fine for me too. It's designed to loop from the 3:36 mark back to the 0:24 mark.

I have no idea where I came up with the "A243" label, but it ultimately gave the track its proper name (2 = B, 4 = D, 3 = C, A243 = ABDC = ....yeah, you get it now. :b), so that worked out nicely.

Feedback on this is welcome...desirable, even. ^_^
