@@mattderogatory4068you can check it out online. The process is super cool, but basically it works because Moon Base Alpha's text to speech is incredibly specific, so you can select specific syllables to be played at what pitch for what time. From there, it is a game of mix and match till you get your tunes. I am glossing over the DAYS if not WEEKS it takes to put it all together, but that is the gist of it

I think the Whalers On The Moon is the most poetic piece. Gives off the feeling of a charming crew that’s bad at their job but they don’t care, they just have fun.
Goodbye moonbase alpha. I'll miss you, and your funny robot voice. But the content stream has slowed to drips, and I'm afraid you're too far gone. Goodbye, thanks for the memories of the decade you've been released.
@@heheheiamasuperstarwarrior9281 I don't think anything happened; it's still on the steam store. I don't imagine there'd be enough people playing to make a server, but should still technically be playable.
i knew about it back in 2017, but i never had a computer to play it on. shame too, since it looked interesting (of course, it was also an instrument, as this playlist proves).
I still love Super Mario Bros 2 today, never beat it. But the concept was fresh and new because it's literally a Mario skin over Doki Doki Panic! With the platforming picking enemies up mechanics not even changed.
@@quefluxwinger3212 it's endlessly funny to me that one of the most impactful games on the franchise wasn't even a Mario game Like, just take a moment and consider how many things originate from SM2 that we take for granted as Mario staples now You could argue the backflip came from the super jump, the turnips, birdo, shy guys, and much more
This is why we need to revive the moon program... so a grown ass Zoomer, someday, can stand on the Moon, and post a Vine to the world of him singing about John Madden. Not because it is funny, but because it is dank, because that goal will serve to organize and measure the best of our energies and skills.
It never occurred that the "my reaction to this information" meme rendition of Fallen down was from moonbase alpha so when the song came on at 18:14 it hit me like a truck
Everytime I hear these songs, it's a reminder that the mars rover has a piezo speaker to sing itself happy birthday. It's both melancholic and a little uplifting to think of a future where all of humanity is gone, save for our marvellous machines that made it all possible, singing in chorus our relics of creativity forever, into a void that does not care, and never will.
i'm not 100% on this but didn't someone program one of the rovers to say a heart felt goodbye before it shut down for the last time and not many people new they did it so when it finally did shut down it freaked the F out of those looking after it at the time?
@@Yevon "My battery is low and it's getting dark". Why do we Humans get emotionally attached to a piece of metal is beyond me, but you bet i'd be balling my eyes out in the command room when that happened.
@@Yevon wrong(ish). The rover sent a status update about its battery being low and that there was no solar charging and a member of the staff made a poetic statement regarding it and it kinda exploded in popularity.
If we went extinct in the next few years, there will be robotic relics of our existence on our celestial neighbor’s surfaces, and floating through the interplanetary/stellar void. Our dead rovers on mars will slowly be covered by Martian sand. The apollo landing sites will remain on the moon for hundreds of millions of years. The American flag would be bleached, but the scientific instruments and the bottom of the lander will basically be there forever. There’s also bags of astronaut dookie, which could still harbor living bacteria. The voyager probes will float through the interstellar void for a trillion years, outliving the earth. They hold the golden records, any civilization who manages to find the voyager will be shown humanity, earth, and our solar system. The voyagers will likely go through thousands of star systems on it’s trillion year journey… I think at least one of those systems may have intelligent life.
I remember seeing a meme ages ago showing a photoshopped picture of a ginormous speaker in the ground of a giant field asking “you could play only one song, what would it be?” Years later… I think I know now.
Now i really want to hear that song at the beginning of wall-e "put on your sunday clothes theres lots of world out there!" In moonbase alpha voice. If anyone has the game and knows how to do all the pitches and things you should give it a shot
never played the game, experienced it's glory firsthand, but the memories gained from simply watching what others have done with it, what has been created using it, the humor brought on by it, moonbase alpha will never truly die. it may one day shut down forever but this...this, and every other moonbase alpha video, will live on forever.
ok, but why does Gary come home hit so hard ~~ like, I came here to listen to funny crystal johns, but know I am thinking about a sentient computer endlessly drifting through space like come on man!!
Very real tears were shed during this video. Some of these songs are tear jerkers for me and hearing it in this form for some reason really got to me. I am a suckered for a capella harmonies and strange robotic tts singing (like the Daisy Bell one). Gary Come Home, Wet Hands, and Space Oddity don't fail to bring a tear to my eye. And this just makes them even better. I feel like a dumbass for saying this. And I most certainly am. But damn. This is good
There's a certain feeling of no matter how obstuse the medium becomes. Or how limited is is. The Humanity in it will eventually shine through, creating pieces of expression
These are actually good listens, heck. Especially Moon story, for some reason I can really appreciate those voices. It's like doing those silly Acapellas(if that's how you spell it) with friends just to mess around and spend time together. Weirdly nostalgic feeling.
None of these memes would have ever happened if NASA wanted the game to have voice chat. The Venn Diagram of people who are willing to spend hours transcribing a song into text to speech with correct tone, and people who are willing to sing acapella into a microphone is a perfect figure-eight. There is no overlap.
This takes me back, man. I first found out about Moonbase Alpha because of Boy's Life magazine, which I received while in Boy Scouts. I think I made my steam account just so I could play MBA. I very much enjoyed the TTS and I was pleased to discover several years later how much other people enjoyed the game.
We need to give a BIG round of applause to both the people who figured out you could pitch the tts in Moonbase Alpha and the people who put together songs using the Moonbase Alpha tts
If you do, I wouldn’t mind animating like a 10 second animation for the Easter egg for free. I’m already planning to make a series based off this album. (And I’m definitely saying this because another guy asked to help with your idea)
wet hands still send te nostalgia hit so hard into my face, plus the moonbase aplha sounds its like of a uppercut of emotions hitting me now..., ahh... i'm not gonna cry...
Despite the game being over a decade old, the iconic voice never seems to fade away, and I hope it stays that way. BTW, Moonbase Oddity and Gary's Song absolutely stuns me. It's surreal how good this text-to-speech program is at being able to sing such songs with near perfection.
Never will it fail to impress me just how much personality and feeling we as people can put into something no matter how minuscule. It was made by bits and chips and ended up being given a voice then soon a song then it was given the love and memories of hundreds.
I couldn’t believe I didn’t recognize the “my reaction to that information” meme’s song to be from moon base alpha! So glad I can listen to the full song now! 18:14
Something about the voices, something about the songs. They make me tear up. They make me sad, yet happy, they make me remember about everything. And even if its over or gone, the memories are sweet reminders. Reminders of people, of actions, of things. Reminders, like jewels, with a sweet luster to them. Thank you for them.
The moment Cave Story's Mimiga village tune started playing I actually felt my heart ache for a moment from the memories and I just kind of-- smiled. This playlist feels weird in the best way possible, but I think that's exactly why I loved Moonbase Alpha so much.
18:14 Who would have thought that at one time this music would be used in a meme which sooner or later would be forgotten like the others and they would never know the origin of the music used.
*Me listening to music while playing Space Engineers* *Also me: Suddenly I come across this again while voyaging in my mega warship across the star system* “Now this is the life :)”
@@TheLostDefender Well, currently praying to clang in the on-board crypt of my 700m Giga freighter and hoping He will be pleased enough with my grid sacrifice to allow me safe passage on this current journey across the system. How about you?
Hearts 2 lazy afternoons is actually really beautiful in moonbase alpha. I listen to it when playing Elite Dangerous, exploring the stars, searching out strange new worlds, going where no CMDR has gone before... or just sitting in a station watching ships come and go through the mail slot. Where are they going? Where'd they come from? What cargo are they hauling, or what stories could that CMDR have to tell?
14:46 I came up with what the name for wet hands would be were it played by an orchestra once with a friend (this is almost in no way related to this song), it would be called “oceanic appendages”
Then I'd appreciate ten more. People put a lot of work into each of these, the least you could do to respect that is show their name. In the video especially, but it's too late now. Not to be too pessimistic but I don't think that many people are motivated enough to open the description, let alone see the title and search for it.
@@Oasty you do comprehend that what you just said makes no sense you're asking me to put more info, but also tell me that most people won't give two fucks about it
@@soup-not-edible That was my explanation why it'd be nice to put them in the video itself. Since you didn't, I meant it was the least you could do to minimize the effort of finding the originals, since many people are too lazy to do more than two clicks. And please don't call me lazy after I put hundreds of hours into making what amounts to half of this entire video.
ive only known about moonbase alpha recently and seeing people love it so much makes me want to love the game as well even if i haven't played it, anyways thank you for the playlist loved the space oddity cover
I miss Moonbase alpha but everytime I visit the game no one is present, almost everysong this playlist plays kinda represent the life in space and the loneliness you feel in it
I have been searching for something like this for years. You have created a masterpiece, this is possibly the greatest art in this medium I have ever seen.
You're telling me that we got our hands on an intricate text-to-speech system (set in space) and the first thing we do is see if we can make music with it? God, that's my favorite thing in the world
Never before have a been this calm. Ive listened to entire 2 and a half hour "calming" lofi playlists and felt nothing in the likes of calm, even my own songs ive collected meant to calm me down are hyper in comparison to this. I needed this more then i couldve realized.

I would adore a rendition of the minecraft soundtrack in this tts. Wet hands was just.. Amazing. That's the word to use.
i liked that one but i really like moonbase oddity
I swear, if I ever make a game or help make a game about space I'm hiding a moonbase alpha easter egg somewhere in it
I would be willing to help with development if so.
John Madden
If you do, I wouldn’t mind animating like a 10 second animation for the Easter egg for free.
I’m already planning to make a series based off this album. (And I’m definitely saying this because another guy asked to help with your idea)
A little flickering CTR monitor that, when interacted with, sings a random snippet of one of these songs
@@starlight4649 and when the button is held down it continues to play from that part
wet hands still send te nostalgia hit so hard into my face, plus the moonbase aplha sounds its like of a uppercut of emotions hitting me now..., ahh... i'm not gonna cry...
Despite the game being over a decade old, the iconic voice never seems to fade away, and I hope it stays that way.
BTW, Moonbase Oddity and Gary's Song absolutely stuns me. It's surreal how good this text-to-speech program is at being able to sing such songs with near perfection.
THE WHIPLASH FROM GOING TO 25:31 TO 28:15 IS FUCKING INSANE BRO HOLY HELL
that little "and steven!" at 14:42 is so unexpectedly funny I love it.
Never will it fail to impress me just how much personality and feeling we as people can put into something no matter how minuscule. It was made by bits and chips and ended up being given a voice then soon a song then it was given the love and memories of hundreds.
28:15 why dies the “doki doki” actually spark so much joy 🥲
I couldn’t believe I didn’t recognize the “my reaction to that information” meme’s song to be from moon base alpha! So glad I can listen to the full song now!
18:14
The original version of the song is called Fallen down, and it's from Undertale
The remix is made by Oasty which soup here outright refused to give credit to
I’m not kidding when I say this is the best TTS related thing to ever happen in the history of anything.
Honestly, "aeiouaeiouaeiouaeiouaeiou john madden john madden john madden john madden". Inspiring quote.
Something about the voices, something about the songs. They make me tear up. They make me sad, yet happy, they make me remember about everything. And even if its over or gone, the memories are sweet reminders. Reminders of people, of actions, of things. Reminders, like jewels, with a sweet luster to them. Thank you for them.
Must say that cover art is absolutely amazing and I hope this isn't the end for how far this can go
Moon base oddity not only works so well, but just hits so dam hard...
The moment Cave Story's Mimiga village tune started playing I actually felt my heart ache for a moment from the memories and I just kind of-- smiled.
This playlist feels weird in the best way possible, but I think that's exactly why I loved Moonbase Alpha so much.
18:14 Who would have thought that at one time this music would be used in a meme which sooner or later would be forgotten like the others and they would never know the origin of the music used.
The music for MBA is arranged by Oasty
Aeiou…
*Me listening to music while playing Space Engineers*
*Also me: Suddenly I come across this again while voyaging in my mega warship across the star system*
“Now this is the life :)”
I knew I would find fellow engineers here :)
@@Wacgoon It’s nice to know A fellow Engineer knows about Moonbase Alpha too :)
My brothers/sisters from another mothers/misters
How do you do fellow engineers?
@@TheLostDefender Well, currently praying to clang in the on-board crypt of my 700m Giga freighter and hoping He will be pleased enough with my grid sacrifice to allow me safe passage on this current journey across the system. How about you?
This has given me nostalgia for something i had forgot, for something i didn't know i missed.
This tts...
This is the best thing I have ever heard, I hope moonbase alpha songs will get another hype train, and even more tracks will be released.
these songs continue to occupy approximately 10% of my brain permanently
Hearts 2 lazy afternoons is actually really beautiful in moonbase alpha. I listen to it when playing Elite Dangerous, exploring the stars, searching out strange new worlds, going where no CMDR has gone before... or just sitting in a station watching ships come and go through the mail slot. Where are they going? Where'd they come from? What cargo are they hauling, or what stories could that CMDR have to tell?
See you, Space Cowboy... o7
@@CLONE-0A o7 CMDR
14:46 I came up with what the name for wet hands would be were it played by an orchestra once with a friend (this is almost in no way related to this song), it would be called “oceanic appendages”
Y'know, with there being one literally called "mice on Venus" you'd think these astronauts would sing an Acapella of it, eh?
How about cats on mars?
@@SolidusCurncer they gotta 😢
Gary's song brings some deep memories, thank you, MoonBase Alpha text to speech program
This is ground control to major John...........
There's something legitimately relaxing about these songs
No drums
I wouldn't mind some credits to where these are from~
literally just look up the name
I spent 10 mins copy pasting everything
Then I'd appreciate ten more. People put a lot of work into each of these, the least you could do to respect that is show their name. In the video especially, but it's too late now.
Not to be too pessimistic but I don't think that many people are motivated enough to open the description, let alone see the title and search for it.
@@Oasty you do comprehend that what you just said makes no sense
you're asking me to put more info, but also tell me that most people won't give two fucks about it
@@Oasty plus it's not my problem if you're too lazy to type 4 words (that can be copy pasted as well)
@@soup-not-edible That was my explanation why it'd be nice to put them in the video itself.
Since you didn't, I meant it was the least you could do to minimize the effort of finding the originals, since many people are too lazy to do more than two clicks.
And please don't call me lazy after I put hundreds of hours into making what amounts to half of this entire video.
ive only known about moonbase alpha recently and seeing people love it so much makes me want to love the game as well even if i haven't played it, anyways thank you for the playlist
loved the space oddity cover
It must’ve taken a ton of effort to replicate these songs in text-to-speech. Props to the artists
I miss Moonbase alpha but everytime I visit the game no one is present, almost everysong this playlist plays kinda represent the life in space and the loneliness you feel in it
I love that i heard the stupid meme, and i immediatelly knew it was from this game, its a gem
I fall asleep to this every Friday night to keep it fresh in my soul
I have been searching for something like this for years. You have created a masterpiece, this is possibly the greatest art in this medium I have ever seen.
THIS ENTIRE VIDEO IS AMAZING EVERY TIME A NEW SONG STARTS IT JUST RENEWS HOW AMAZING THIS IS
You're telling me that we got our hands on an intricate text-to-speech system (set in space) and the first thing we do is see if we can make music with it? God, that's my favorite thing in the world
3:35, I love how the note shifts down a little it sounds beautiful
The last thing I expected in this was a rendition of lazy afternoon from kingdom hearts 2, that really hits my nostalgia
Goddammit, why does this have to start with this song that makes literally everyone bawl their eyes out? 😭
a playlist that I didn't expect to exist but have always wanted
There’s some charm to hearing your favorite songs in funny and weirdly cute robot voices. It’s nice.
What an incredible game Moonbase Alpha was (is).
Will forever be
I think I’ll order a pizza *dial tone* yes I’d like a pizza. “No” why? “Because you are John Madden” *hangs up*
We need justice for this video, it's way too underated!
Never before have a been this calm. Ive listened to entire 2 and a half hour "calming" lofi playlists and felt nothing in the likes of calm, even my own songs ive collected meant to calm me down are hyper in comparison to this. I needed this more then i couldve realized.
Ground control to major Tom
the memories, this makes me wish we were back 9 years ago
Goodnight, and may all your jhons be madden
This is weirdly wholesome, and very nostalgic. I love it!
18:14
HE DID IT! HE DID THE THING!
my reaction to that information
I genuinely thought that the cover of space oddity was amazing the first time i heard it, and it still is.
this literally hits all the hits. so good. ty.
