Remake of one of my old tracker tunes from 1997. Original XM tune for reference can be downloaded from here: http://iki.fi/cube/t/files/mod/iconia.zip

Iconia rageai - Redux

Restless Hearts

New Horizons

Winner of YM2149-music competition at SillyVenture 2013. Composed with maxYMiser.

Blipblop Memories

A short soundtrack to our annual new year's production. First attempt at dubstep of any kind as well as using Ableton Live for composing. Took a bit longer than I expected due to Ableton Live being a bit different from what I'm used to.

tAAt 2014

A project that I started in 2007 but couldn't quite get it finished at the time and has since then been lying on the hard drive. At the time of the initial composition I was inspired by Bill Brown's work on Ghost Recon and John Powell's score in the Bourne-movies.

Plan and Execute

Just a simple experiment into the synthwave genre.

Reflection

Winner of the Silly Venture 2014 YM2149-music competition.

Bullet Sequence

Santiago Returns

The soundtrack from an intro for custom hardware running on an FPGA. The audio system has 4 stereo channels with ADSR, 5 waveforms, 12 dB LP/HP/BP/BS filter on each channel, 2 delay units with 6dB lowpass filters, and a reverb unit.

SCattershot

Originally featured in Elite's cracktro for Challenge Foot Senior. This version uses digidrums as originally intended. 

Super Mega Ultra Turrican+ (Digidrum version)

Originally featured in Vectronix's fantasy cracktro for Grand Theft Auto VI. This version is a slightly more extended version of the tune since the original was a bit on the short side. 

Pulse Repeater (Extended version)

A short plain YM-tune without any timer effects that was used in the harddrive patch by D-Bug of the demo Re-birth by Cybernetics. Video of the intro where the tune was used: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pPbnJfETDAA

Glittering Waves

Just a simple tune that I came up with once upon a time during winter.

Snowfallen Wilds

Winner of YM2149-music competition at SillyVenture 2010. 200Hz replay rate tune composed with maxYMiser.

Blink

A digi-drum YM tune composed with maxYMizer that I used in my <a href="http://pouet.net/prod.php?which=55152" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">cracktro for D-Bug</a>.


Crystallized

My entry to the oldschool music competition at Assembly 2007.

I wanted to create a tribute to Jochen Hippel a.k.a. Mad Max and his style from the early 90's as I simply love his works from demos like Life's a Bitch, Dark Side Of The Spoon and Ooh Crikey Wot a Scorcher. That's why I only used digi-drums and plain YM sounds without any other timer effects.

Agent Hippel To The Rescue

A tribute to Chris Hülsbeck and Jochen Hippel where I tried to mimic their composing styles.

The tune was originally composed with hardware synthesizers using Sonar back in 2000 for an oldshool-styled demo but the demo was never finished so the tune never got released either. I recreated the project in Cubase and changed it to use only virtual synthesizers.

Moments (2006 Remix)

I did this tune back in 2000 with hardware synths but never released it because it was so badly mixed. I converted it from Sonar to Cubase and made it to use only VST instruments. The end part mix is still a bit off as the final mix ended up being done during the night in a rush.

Plastic Mindstorm (2007 Remix)

My entry to the Silly Venture 2016 YM2149-music competition and also my first ever tune using the DMA capabilities of the Atari STe. Just wanted an additional track for the drums so I didn't do anything fancy with the DMA :)

Hyper Ocean Ride

An epic hybrid track which I started already over a year ago but struggled to finish at the time. Learned some new things about combining libraries, mixing and mastering with this one.

10000 Hammers of Justice

My winning entry to the Silly Venture 2017 YM2149-music competition. Nothing special as I was pressed with time and did the tune during the week before the party while being busy with everything else.

Elusive Groove

Tune from the little cracktro I made for Elite.

March of the Invaders

Soundtrack for the Kickstarter introduction video of "The Masters of Pixel Art - volume 3", originally meant as a soundtrack to the announcement demo for the book, but the demo was never finished.

My Pixels Are Weapons

Just a plain YM-tune without any timer effects, originally composed for an intro which required clock cycle accurate timings so any timer effects were not allowed.

Renaissance

A remix of a tune composed by dEViLOCk/Arsenic on the Commodore 64. 

dEViLOCk - Outpost (Atari ST remix)

Winning entry of the Silly Venture 2019 YM2149-music competition.

Threshold

Soundtrack from Trauma's text mode demo Litterae Finis. The first parts of the tune were originally composed for a small space-themed game project which was never finished. Sol/Trauma wanted to make a text mode demo for the Text Mode Demo Competition 15, so I added the end part, and remixed the tune once again.

Starchild

A short experimentation after taking a few courses on writing for an orchestra. I just might be starting to understand a little how to write for different sections :)

EDIT: Re-uploaded a new version as the previous one had a track muted, and I fixed some problems with harmony. Silly me.

Athos

Heavily influenced by Justin E. Bell's magnificent piece "Journey's End" in the end of the game "The Outer Worlds". I wanted to experiment and see if I could manage to make a similar piece with only three chords like the original, so I used the same pacing, mostly the same instrumentation, and the same structure for the piece.

This piece is in no means an original composition, and it's not meant to be, but a more of an experiment into orchestral composing, and my humble tribute to the piece that was my inspiration.

* Re-mixed and re-uploaded a new version, the original mix had some noise issues that I wanted to get rid of.
