Something Unreal

Here are all the Caramelldansens which Dnstje and I recorded at MCM Expo last weekend, combined into one video! =D

Thanks very much to Dnstje for editing them all together, and even making dual-views for the parts where we were both recording at the same time!

Eye was the strongest, who also carried around around a “soundcase” (sound suitcase) which Dnstje helped me to make. It was playing the music most of the times in this video.

Well, I was a ⑨ and only started making this on the 8th, so it was a big effort for me to get it done and recorded before the 9th ended.

This is an insanely rushed video of the view from outside my bedroom window. Later I intend to upload a video showing the simfile I made (and which these lights are playing) playing on StepMania, because it looks kind of insane, perhaps along with another few views of the lights from other locations.

This video is not uploaded in HD, because too many computers struggle to play HD YouTube videos (they update the picture slowly), and that’s a very bad thing for this video. Smoothness is essential here, and the picture resolution is not. ^^

Sadly, I couldn’t get it compressed and uploaded before midnight GMT (and certainly not a proper in sync version, *cough* YouTube), but we will NEVAR FORGET our little blue idiot, so I guess it’s okay. ^^ Yep, that makes no sense whatsoever. But who cares? It’s Cirno d–! Oh wait, it’s not any more.

I’ve now finished recording all themes from Touhou 06: Embodiment of Scarlet Devil in MIDI form playing on my old FM MIDI synth.

You can download MP3s of them with the other Touhou FM MIDI recordings (so far from the 6th, 7th and 8th games), here.

For those who haven’t seen (heard) any before, they’re basically very electronic-sounding versions of the music from the Touhou games (they’re not strictly 8-bit, but they certainly do often sound like they’re 8-bit). If you like chiptune music, you’ll probably really like them.

We were hit by a large amount of snow early this February in 2009 and I was eager to catch some shots with my HD camera to go along with a song which I’d recently got addicted to.

The song used is a cut-down version of “FREEZING ON YOU” by “IOSYS” (I had to cut it down from 4m40s since I didn’t record enough different video to last that long without the finished video ending up uninteresting). It’s a remix of Cirno’s theme from Touhou Project, and with Cirno being an ice fairy and associated with the number 9, this was too perfect an opportunity for me to miss.
