Here's the fake episode premise I wrote the music to:

Crockett makes a deal with a criminal that indirectly leads to the death of a past girlfriend. As he drives through the night, his feelings of devastation are only briefly interrupted by a flashback to better times.

Amplitude Problem's contribution to Collision Theory, a RadioSEGA production in support of Special Effect: http://www.specialeffect.org.uk

https://radiosega.bandcamp.com/album/radiosega-presents-collision-theory-charity-album

A brand new compilation of arrangements of SEGA tunes from around the community, RadioSEGA Presents: Collision Theory brings a fresh idea to the table. All 12 musicians had to come up with a way of mashing together two source tunes from different SEGA games. The final result is an epic journey through SEGA's catalogue filled with retro vibes and blue skies bliss. 

For the first two months, download the album for a price of your choosing and support Special Effect, a charity focused on helping people with disabilities to enjoy video games.

Passing Breeze and Wilderness were originally composed by Hiroshi Kawaguchi and You Takada, respectively.

I will write exactly one love song in my life. This is that song. 

¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Remember when the universe was so small it fit inside the two of us? 
And the future was infinite, an endless fog of cute dreams... 
Do you remember when we were binary stars, blinding each other? 

Oh well, whatever... 

Remember? 

I remember when the universe expanded faster than we could grow. 
And the past was infinite, an endless fog of broken dreams... 
I remember when you pushed me away and I could see you clearly... 
In the distance. 

Oh well, whatever... 

Meh...

Amplitude Problem - Hold Down the Sun

I make anti-fascist cyberpunk music.

#Cybersynth, #synthwave, #chiptune, #VGM, #demoscene and #nerdcore madness. #Cyberpunk #hiphop producer for @ytcracker. #Jazz on @ubiktune.

Amplitude Problem is Juan Irming, a Los Angeles producer, composer, sound designer and keyboardist with a focus on synthwave, chiptune, soundtracks, hip hop, video game music and sound effects.

Juan got his start on the European demoscene in the late 80s as the composer for world-famous and humble Atari ST demo crew SYNC, placing first in several demo music contests. Since attending Musicians Institute in the early 90s, he has composed and produced video game inspired synth and chip soundtracks for a number of projects and records such as legendary geek rapper YTCracker's cyberpunk album Introducing Neals. Credited on 11 LPs, he has been featured on albums alongside artists like Mitch Murder, Lazerhawk and GUNSHIP. Juan has appeared live at events and venues such as Comic Con and Game On Expo alongside acts like The Gothsicles, The Minibosses and Future Holotape. He also writes themes for video games such as Power Drive 2000.

Influences include first-generation chip composers Rob Hubbard, Ben Daglish, Martin Galway and Maniacs of Noise in addition to electronic, industrial, jazz and hip hop acts such as Damokles, Kraftwerk, Jean-Michel Jarre, Alphaville, Depeche Mode, Nine Inch Nails, Herbie Hancock and Public Enemy.
