Your work just keeps getting better and better~

Great work! I was going to do this but after listening to this i don't have to :)

Won the Tracked Music competition at Revision 2023.

Very happy with this piece, thanks to Saga who came with the initial idea - this turned into a really nice track. :)

Applied basic automatic mastering.

Scrap Brain Zone (Korg M01D)

Strap on your favourite skiing equipment and blast down hill in Aspen, Colorado! Sadly I've never been there myself (yet), but every film, series and even The Rippingtons have something inspired by Aspen. So why not me too? 

I've had a long drought and little to no time composing due to work and family that needed my attention, but during the Holidays, I did manage to get something down. Had no real goal for what to make, so I just started somewhere and this is where it took me. Happy synth pop with some light house vibes and lots of retro. And synth brass, because who doesn't love synth brass? ;)

Remember to wear a helmet when going down the slope! Safety first!

Well, theoretically ZX Spectrum (and other computers with AY chip inside) have no sampler - only a digital synthesizer. 
But when the AY is being linked to any CPU chip (Z80 in my case) - it can actually be used as a sampler too. 
With the Z80 power, ZX Spectrum 48K can play 3 channels of digital music through the AY-interface, with 4-bit quality  (btw, it can do it via ULA too, but in 1-bit quality). The SampleTracker software has no volume commands, so - to achieve delays  :) - I have to make the same sample twice: the louder one, and the more silent one, heheh. That takes RAM away, of course, which is crap because I have only 48K of RAM on ZX Spectrum ;) (even less, actually, hehhe). 
Italo-disco for life. :)

ZX Spectrum 48K + AY-interface. 
Software: SampleTracker.
3 channels, 4-bit quality lo-fi micromusic.
Recorded from real ZX Spectrum.

The song comes from "Astral Combat" album, that is downloadable from here: http://yerzmyey.i-demo.pl/

PS: To check out how Atari ST (with its far more powerful Motorola CPU) deals with AY as a sampler, check out this link: https://soundcloud.com/yerzmyey/ym-digital-draconus-a-cover

Sparkster - Rocket Knight Adventures 2: High-Velocity Magic (Feat. Sixto Sounds)

"Pools of Poison" is the winner of Music Contest #4 (Veteran section), organized by Hornet in 1996.

I tracked and released it under my tracker name "WAVE".

Special thanks to Snowman & GD for taking care of the organization at the time!

The module was tracked in Fasttracker 2.08 and the original XM file is -not accidentally- 700.000 bytes in size. :-)

This is a 1 on 1 render from XMPlay, with no added effects.

I uploaded it to SoundCloud so people can hear the music without having to download the XM module and install a special module player for playing it, as well as to make sure not a -wrong- module player is used, which doesn't play the XM effects and note-data correctly,

If you want to take a peek at the original XM file,
download XMPlay, which is perfect for playing tracker music modules.

The XM module's filename is:
jt_pools.xm
(You can download it on https://modarchive.org)

It's fun to watch what goes on inside the XM module with ASCII art, tracker scene greetings and other fun stuff.

Enjoy and feel free to leave a comment, like, download and share! :-)

- - Track Notes - -

This track was made for a Sega Genesis using Sonar X2 DAW, FMDrive and SPSG VSTs, Sonic 3 PCM samples for drums. A Roland TR-08 was used to overdubs a hi-hat. The sound was recorded with a mix of an GenMDM device and emulators for further mixing. Apart from some panning (mainly PSG), everything is stock. No reverb, compression, FX or EQ used.

Mastering by Grant Henry for Chiptunes = WIN: Volume 8 (2019-08-03)

Hey modern retro sound enthusiasts.

I am once again asking for support... in the form of you listening :]

https://www.twitch.tv/maximemoring called to arms on battleofthebits.org to create a powerful Super Nintendo-esque soundtrack for an imaginary game inspired by some neat pixelart (http://www.effectgames.com/demos/canvascycle/).

So a couple of 4 hour competitions later the winners of those were compiled into an album of epic proportions.
Well...none of my tracks were on a level to compete against the skill that was delivered, but a couple made it onto it anyway. No bribes involved, I swear.

Please listen to the whole Album, it's really fantastic:

And if you like what you hear, maybe grab a copy to show some support and make future endeavours more likely:

Samples were ripped from various SNES classics (Zelda, Chrono Trigger, Secret of Mana, Terranigma, Donkey Kong...)
