33-minute Mix of Old Electronix

Sep 24, 2009 |

I made a little trashy mix with 33 minutes of old electronic music, mostly from the 50s, 60s, and 70s. Artists such as Tom Dissevelt, Raymond Scott, Delia Derbyshire, and Max Mathews. Turns out you can’t download it though, so the search continues for a way to offer other people’s music for download legally…

So coders, how do you explain this?

I made a 5 minute gabber tune in Protracker for my Amiga, but when I loaded it today it had turned into this. It freezes just after you press play, and loops the pattern-position it’s on (usually). But the song keeps changing though.

This is 3 videos edited into one (cuts at 1.08 and 1.33) but no other postproduction has been made. FYI, the speech synthesis in the beginning says Protracker Rules, and is there every time I start Protracker. Hot scripting action!

If you like this, you probably break down in happy tears from this.

Little Computer People 2009

Jul 28, 2009 | , ,

I was at Little Computer People 2009 – the largest 8-bit demoparty in Scandinavia for 15 years, with about 150 people.

I was happy to win first prize with Automatas in the C64-music competition. I spent the week before at the countryside, composing a song specifically to win the compo according to my algorithm. But after a while I gave up to make a good song instead. So obviously my algorithm was wrong. It is an 8x-speed song made in Defmon, meaning that it accesses the SID-chip 8 times faster than usual. This gives you a higher resolution of all the tables, faster slides and LFOs, etc.

In the Amiga music compo, I came second last with my song Konkurs Data. The sounds used are mostly textfiles, pictures, executables, etc – sweet data that Protracker eats perfectly. It is not the recipe for winning demoscene competitions.

Some of the releases I enjoyed especially was the Amiga songs by Yonx and Qwan (mp3s), Zabutom’s Space Fish, Mortimer Twang’s Seved Skweeeeeeeee, Jucke’s Where is Dino?, LFT’s Power Ninja Action Challenge (custom hardware, mp3 here), and many more! Get all the releases and photos

Remix: Monster Zoku Onsomb – Frankin’Stein

Jul 13, 2009 |

The Australian super group Monster Zoku Onsomb are doing a remix project of their last album, Earth Eaters. My remix is a rather straight forward C64 rock-rave kind of song, and was published a few weeks ago: Frankin’Stein (Goto80 C64 Remax). Some other remix gems in there aswell, so check …. this … out!
