My first tune ever with STEREO SIDs aka 2x 8580 with filters and all + added HALL reverb to mix the output of the two chips.

The raw tune is 3+3 channels aka pure stereo, but I composed the tune with a Logitech G35 headset with surround/reverb enabled so they got mixed. That's the sound I have tried to emulate in my mix here, so you can gain the same experience with a normal Dolby Headset

A selection of my most beloved classic SID remixes which I still can enjoy to this day despite their age.

Last Ninja Extended Classic

To celebrate 30 years since the original classic, I've remixed the Sanxion C64 music - using nothing but a single SID (the same hardware as the original track was written with)

.sid and .prg here: http://csdb.dk/release/?id=144708

This involved an initial stage of recreating the whole track in SIDTracker64 (patterns and instruments), before I could then remix it.

This is a 3 channel SID file. No samples. No outboard gear.
Written with SIDTracker64 on the iPad.

Thanks to Chris Abbott(that's two B's and two T's) for the assistance & permission to release this!
Hope you like it!


SANXION REMIX C64 ON SID

Felt sudden need to write a little chiptune whilst waiting on a download that was using all my bandwidth = no distractions = tune!

Just a quick progressive arp kinda piece.

$QUICKCHIP

Created this for a segment on our BBKB radio show, it's a mashup of the original fantastic 2nd part of Laxity's "Desert Dream", the Amiga demoscene legend, and Fanta's amazing C64 homage to it.

I literally just synced them up and layered them together, with the emphasis a little more to the C64 side :)

Original Artists: Laxity & Fanta


C64 vs Amiga - Desert Dream

This is my personal Tribute to the great Ben Daglish who sadly passed away on the 1st October 2018.

This is a orchestral mix of "Firelord" we did together a few years ago, and Ben and I re did all the parts again in my Studio, and recorded all the new Flute parts as well. Ben wanted to do a Acoustic version, which we did, but we had idea of doing a orchestral version as well while was at it, we spent Friday evening until Sunday afternoon in the Studio non stop, and this is the outcome. 

Some Amazing Memories of working with a incredible creative and talented individual. 

Will be Sadly missed.......R.I.P Ben Daglish.
