This is not the full song, nor very well coded, but a pretty beginning. :)

Full song now! Needs a bit of tweaking to sound really nice, but I like the Blade Runner synth in there for the treble!
Also, I think the whole thing is an octave higher than it should be, but... it's sweet and cute and lovely. :)

hear it on soundcloud: https://soundcloud.com/alexglow/sleepy-satie-gymnopedie-1-as-pixel-art
infuriatingly, there is one note off in the recording. see if you can find it. i probably will not re-record/upload it, because that is a pain in the ass... but i have updated the code here. <3
