Formerly known as Project02, this song is one of my personal compositions.  "Frozen Lightyears" makes me think of a spacecraft traveling for hundreds of years while the crew are frozen in time.

This was created entirely on a Yamaha PSS-470, which is a kid's keyboard from the 1980's based on the YM3812 (adlib/soundblaster) chip.  There is absolutely no post-processing involved, this is what the keyboard actually sounds like (or would sound like if you had 5 of them playing at once)

This is my own rendition of Lemmings Song #1 performed entirely on a Casio SA-76.    I took some artistic freedom with my choices of instruments in order to play to the strengths of the SA-76, rather than attempt to mimic the original song.   Also, the official name of this song is "Pachelbel's Canon" even though it has little to no resemblance to the classical piece by Pachelbel.  

The Casio SA-76 is a kid's keyboard that retails for around $49.  It has some pretty decent sampled sounds on it, but is still a huge challenge because it has no sustain, no velocity, and only 44 keys.   Nevertheless, this song is 7 distinct tracks, each recorded live from the SA-76 with absolutely no post processing.

This is my performance of an old Amiga MOD file called Luna-Waves on a Yamaha PSS-270.

 All of the sounds come from the PSS-270, although I did add some reverb on the drums and the metallic synth sound.  I did not perform the entire song.  This song was very difficult to learn and perform, so I only managed to do about 1/3 of the song before giving up... Mainly because Christmas is approaching and I wanted to work on a Christmas song.

I've re-created the famous Rob Hubbard tune from the game WarHawk.  This tune was far more difficult than I thought it would be and took me probably 4 times as long as I thought it would. I really wanted to concentrate on showing off the keyboard, but instead I spent much more time trying to figure out the right notes to this song. I still think I have a few notes here and there that aren't right, but I just can't figure them out.

This is a little 4-track recording I did from a very primitive toy keyboard from the 80's, the Yamaha PSS-130.  It really only produces different square waves and has 2-note polyphony. Also I had to do a hardware modification so that I could even record from it since it had no line or headphone output.  So I drilled a hole and added an RCA output. Still, it was a fun little song to create.

The 8-Bit Guy has just released his brand new RTS game for the Commodore 64. This is one of the idea sketches for a future port to MS-DOS where the intention is to have Roland MT-32 and Adlib music.  This can be a possibility if the C64 version is a success, so head over to the webshops to check it out:

Planet X2 Theme 1

Work in progress C64 double speed SID cover of a 2018 Amiga mod called 'My Lucky Number' by Virgill.

Only a test recording of part of the track, taken from a real 8580 SID equipped C64c passed through a Dolby amp.  *Lots* of work to be done on the remaining part of the tune and tinkering with the sounds / instruments.  The SID will be used in a future C64 production of some sorts...

This cover has the 'blessing' of Virgill.  Please listen to the original Amiga version (from a 2018 Amiga intro) here:
