Adventure Thing #77 - "Oh The Places You'll Go" Chip Rough v1 (Patreon)

Ciao, Avventuriero!

This week we go to the first Chip Rough of "Oh The Places You'll Go".  This is an interesting one, because this version is where the song went off the rails for me.

The intentions were good: I really loved Bill's part from the bandscratch, and tried to recreate it with gameboy chip. 

From there, it sounded a bit sterile and thin, so we tried to layer in some keys/synths to flesh it out a bit, including a wurlitzer and a rhodes, and some retro synths for the chorus pads. 

I can't even really put my finger on what it is I don't like about this version, but it feels like it lost the oomph for me in the whole first part up to the second chorus, where the big guitars come in. It's pretty similar from there on out, but there's much important in the first part.

I'm happy to say our next version got there for me, so this is merely a detour, but an interesting one nonetheless.
