Apparently this year (I've never seen it other years anyway), people are posting things in 5/4 time as it is 5/4 in US style date-writing...
So I give you, Mars from The Planets as performed by my Lo-Fi Orchestra, because, well, why not?
And for a fun comparison here is the same with four AY-3-8910s...
Sorry. Its kind of traditional at this point...
@MakersHour A5 I feel like I'm cheating here as in true Blue Peter style I have several I made earlier - any of my #LoFiOrchestra would do :)
Returning to my minimalist Lo-Fi minimalism, bringing the vintage SP0256A-AL2 speech synthesizer to a Philip Glass opera...

On the last weekend before Christmas, here is my only other 8-bit festive tune.
This #LoFiOrchestra performance presents the Carol of the Bells, in an arrangement based on Robert Buckley's rhapsodic "Let the Bells Ring".
@MakersHour Speaking of which, here's some #LoFiOrchestra Christmas Hely Hutchinson... which you may recognise from the theme tune to The Box of Delights. Or may not.
@sam I could add several new string sections and double the brass of my #LoFiOrchestra I guess...
Maybe I need to arrange some Mahler symphonies!
And my "go to" demo for Arduino tones - an arrangement of the throne room and end titles for Star Wars Episode IV for my #LoFiOrchestra tones.
Now running on #AY38910 chips :)
