Description: An attempt at expressionism through minimal composition. And no, I haven't been smoking anything. I don't do that. Try getting acquainted with the structure of a large grant application, then you'll understand :-)

@whoiscaseyryback: Thanks! Yes. This has been just a 30" segment looped 4 times over. It was intentional, to deliver the atmosphere of repetitive depression :)

track needs to progress a bit more. Very interesting use of 8 bit sounds though... chip tunes FTW!

Sometimes my life feels like this, too.  

very interesting, i feel like it needs more though, but then again you did use the phrase minimal composition.

This set contains original music and two covers I have written and produced since 2010 for Atari 800XL using Raster Music Tracker. Some of these tracks have been recorded off the authentic vintage hardware but mostly I am using the emulator called Atari800WinPlus and apply some minimal sound processing to master the tracks.

The Story of 3 Medium-sized Giraffes

I was recently producing and playing mostly harder techno tracks and today I have kinda realised that I am really missing my productions from couple years ago around 125-130bpm. Also currently whole soundcloud is full of overly fast and rather boring mixes, so I decided to dive into couple of my tracks and give them spin. ENjoy and all the best, download is completely free of any crap. :)

Tracklist is in cover picture. :)

This was a quick job in Raster Music Tracker, rendered using an Atari 800XL emulator, mastered in Reaper. Fun levels were increased since the last version of this song.
