Duration: 3 min 50 s
Description: The 10th release from Dr. Zilog and the first to feature our new guitarist, Jackson Kaufman. This project was started in September of 2016 and was a collaboration between us where we traded off on writing guitar riffs, chiptune composing and drum programming in my basement studio.

Another fantastic release! I've been listening to your music for years, and you have yet to disappoint.

Yerzmyey & RIO - The rubber breadbox (ZX / C64)

dance with a somnambulist
soliloquies spin free 
with a little sweet and subtle numbing me, simply
grip mics tight when i'm brandishing those
wolf stay lit with the chandelier souls
go get that, spit champion prose
bear witness to the fact that he dope
regicide for the cats that sat in the throne
don't fit with the pros so i'm lampin alone
got groundswell I shine like star shells
force of the flow is artesian wells
of course i can blow through your whole citadel
on a midnight train Zodiac carrousel
comparisons are odious - aint nobody close to this
homie, this - music cornucopia is copious
incontrovertible puerto rock b-boy
stellectric when i spit, leave blocks de-stroyed
unclear context be the mode i employ
same complex as the ghost in the droid
paranoid toys no stranger to the void
asteroid impact rap game mina loy



your language is in livery - i damage your vicinity
li-terally hittin these cats with wicked imagery
wolf is the epitome of wounding minds critically
critics don't interest me - never mind the industry
listen, b,  this is the - entrance to infinity
manikins masquerade and manifest the mystery
take aim take stage my page make flame
old age so strange displayed with no shame 
okay, cold days, I used to hop trains
overlook my city  - snake through those veins
the panoramic visions are vivid and so gray
automatic prison - i'm livin in sold days
lunatics move to this soon as the groove plays
and lindy hop with lucifer in pale moon rays
I, catalyst, leave you lost inside a labyrinth
master this, tongue be the dagger that I'm stabbin with
speak off beat leave your metronome home
freaks taught me only speak what I know
must not sleep, must make beats for poems
infect deep by the streets that I roamed
unclear context be the mode i employ
same complex as the ghost in the droid
paranoid toys no stranger to the void
asteroid impact rap game mina loy

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. :) 

My kind regards & respect to other digital musicians of 8-bit computers:

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

Yerzmyey - Kaminari

woke up this morning with the news at my feet 
a little suprised i had to take a seat 
and while i admit it felt like a  treat 
i tossed the paper and got something to eat 

but i don’t need your prize babe
look into my eyes babe and see how i despise 
the prize 

you give it to prisoners you give it to kings 
an outlaw like me don’t need those things 
all you want is someone who sings 
but you can’t buy me with diamonds and rings 

I don’t need your prize babe 
i don’t need your prize 
look into my eyes babe and see how i despise this prize 
 

take your medal and throw it away 
come on back when you got something to say 
or just save it for a rainy day. 
ain’t nothing nobel bout me anyway
