Shinobi - Rayleigh Scattering

Background: This was originally written for "Mojo" disk4, released at X-2023.
All started a late night with two weapons "TB-303" and "TR-8S", controlled via two chained SQ-1. As the skeleton took off I hooked up a Volca Sampler (loaded with custom sounds from 8-bit machines) and started to add more twists and bits to the song. My ol' trusty Neutron came in to play later on to add more sounds and that's how the patch work began, and also when I added a BSP to control the whole shebang.
When that was done, I started to sketch up the song on paper(yes I am oldschool), designed the instruments and finally oiled up the tracker to start the real work :)
The first release was a bit slim-down, due memory restrictions and the need of trigger data. So it was very much "give and go".

Now, here is the "Salted Edition", done the way I always wanted it to be. I decided to release it as I celebrate two years in Pretzel Logic!

Trip And Hazy Clouds Salted Edition

Triton - Galactic Arcade

This was my attempt at some AOR. Having grown up listening to bands like Toto, it felt natural to make an attempt at it.

Sadly, I accidentally deleted all audio recordings from this track which means nothing more can be done unless I re-record vocals and guitars.

Hutmacher - The Ghost Of Us

SID Track made in 2015 which was used in the Announcetro from Prowler and Mahoney for Prowlers kickstarter project "The Masters of Pixel Art: Vol 2".
 Also featured on the CD that comes with this great book.

Shinobi - Crimson Blessing

Based on an original tune done on the c64 back in 1985. This version is my own interpretation of it and it is unfinished.

Thomas Mogensen - Glider Pilot Remix - Unfinished

Semi-classical stuff. Has a dreamy melancholic touch. Composed by me some years ago and dedicated to my mother. Can also be heard here:

Thomas Mogensen - Beyond Distance

Megasong 3: Next Destination
============================

Description:

The Megasong Project is a demoscene music project initiated by Fabian Del Priore aka Rapture to bring together talented demoscene musicians and trackers from all over the world, combining their forces in one big music piece, which they bring together in collaboration; each participant is working on a part of the song (each one working on a few patterns or so), before it's the turn of the next participant and the tune is handed to him. The end result is a massive coop tune, but sounding as homogeneous and consistent as possible.

The third Megasong is made in Synthwave style with a spacey theme (a bit like Laserdance/Koto), but thinkable for the future are all kinds of styles with different musicians, different song length, different software to work with and so on, so the whole project is flexible to the max!

In general, I would define the Megasong stating the following basic features:

Style: Whatever the given group of musicians can agree on, everything is possible: Chipmusic, Demomusic, Gamemusic, Soundtracker ST-01 / Earlymod, Techno, Trance, German folk musik, experimental, whatever... Mainthing is working together on a FUN project! :)

Length: Minimum 10 minutes, maximum 30 minutes

Number of participants: Minimum 5 participants, maximum: Open end, but we shouldn't exaggerate here or else organising it will be complicated. ;)

Platform/Software: Depends. Could be anything from any tracker to any DAW (Digital Audio Workstation / music studio environment) like Steinberg Cubase or Renoise. The music group must have roughly the same experience on the same platform. For DAW's like Renoise or Cubase, only freeware VST Plugins will be used (no commercial plugins) so they can be exchanged between the group, thus every composer of the group can take part on the project without any hassle!

For the third Megasong project, the following talented demo scene musicians could be engaged:

- Elrinth (Nicklas Holmgren)
- Rapture (Fabian Del Priore)
- Serpent (Touko Väre)
- Shinobi aka Triton (Marcus Andre Rousseau)
- Silok (Robert Katsenos)
- Spiral (Mats Antonsson)

Every demo scene musican who feels talented and motivated enough is invited for exciting future Megasong projects! Send me your ideas and some music snippets! :)

Have fun listening and drop me a comment! You can reach us on the Nectarine Demoscene Radio: www.scenemusic.net :)

Cheers,
Rapture
