Harvesting and using the sounds from my own MSX2 old skool homecomputer from the 80's with a PHILIPS soundchip. For fun, to try and think I succeeded! :)

MSX Chipmusic

As a kid, owning a MSX2 homecomputer, I always wanted to make music with it. But I didn't have a music-chip and keyboard for it. I never bought those. But a few months back, I decided to search for and get them!.

Did that mainly because I was looking for 8bit sounds to use in a track. A few weeks ago, I got to it. Picking sounds, sampling them and using them in a very familiar way. Even though it sounds familiar, I composed the whole thing myself.

So, have a listen. You can say a lot, but it is NOT depressing :p Go ahead and save the castle! ;)

Save The Castle

This is basically part two of my nice little chipmusic / 8bit / MSX adventure! Check out my other 8bit track http://soundcloud.com/biostorm/save-the-castle to see what I mean :)

Using the sounds less in the familiar gaming way, and more like an actual warm dub track, this is what came out. Something completely different and half the bpm.

8-bit Dub

BioStorm is always inspired by the old and the new styles around him. Ever since hearing the first 303 acid dripping tracks in 1988, he travelled through time via house, techno, trance, hardcore, drum and bass, dubstep, hiphop and pop. At the age of 18 was selling his moped to buy a sampler instead the right move because. Because decades later he's still at it, working from The Netherlands, which is an actual country in Western Europa :) His philosophy is: electronic dance music DOES have a soul and comes in many forms. BioStorm is not about one style, but one universal language.
