Re-make of my own track released on the "Mindlitter" cassette almost 30 years ago. Original track called "The Search For Me".

Still Searching

The 8-Bit Guy made, as you probably already know, a new game - Attack of the Petscii Robots. It's available for the Commodore PET, VIC-20, C64, Apple IIgs and Atari/Commander X16.

Noelle did all the official music for this game, as I had little time to devote to this project except for the design and label stuff as usual. However,  in January this year, I sat down and made some songs that I thought could fit the game. Using only hardware and no soft synths or samples, I did a series of tunes inspired by the titles of the maps in the game.

Initially I planned these to be loopable and short as most in game music tends to be, but I quickly found myself making more or less full songs with a more normal structure. So this alternate soundtrack is more of a synth inspired album that some of you may find ok to play in the background while playing the game.

LYRICS:
Verse 1: 
Don’t spill out the words I’ve spoken,
keep them hidden well.
Make them flourish in your verbal garden.

Verse 2:
Hold your breath, it’s still too early.
Don’t disclose yourself.
Mystic stranger sweet seduce my open ears.

Bridge:
Let go off your mask.
Let them see your face.
Silver silent lovers’ language reveals itself.

Verse 3:
Use reflections of your feelings.
Build the letters’ sense.
See how easy verbal pictures coming through to you.

Chorus:
To all silver silent lovers: Language hides behind the shade.
Let your lips confess, it’s a metaphoric masquerade!
Souly flavoured, sweetly darling. All of the words that we played.
In the poem’s frame, we made the merry masquerade!

Verse 4:
Don’t spill out the words I’ve spoken,
keep them hidden well.
Make them flourish in your verbal garden.

Counter Point:
Let my words undress your eyes.
I will show you in disguise.
Collect my purple poems too,
and drape them all around you.

Let my words undress your eyes.
I will show you in disquise.
Collect my purple poems too,
bedazzle all of you!

Chorus:
To all silver silent lovers: Language hides behind the shade.
Let your lips confess, it’s a metaphoric masquerade!
Souly flavoured, sweetly darling. All of the words that we played.
In the poem’s frame, we made the merry masquerade!

(Guitar solo)

Souly flavoured, sweetly darling. All of the words that we played.
In the poem’s frame, we made the merry masquerade!

Preview of the remake of the Highscore tune for the Commodore 64 videogame "Hawkeye" for the upcoming album "Tel Me More".

Composed in 1986 at age 14 and published by Thalamus in 1987. The game was developed by my friends the Boys Without Brains (BWB).

This was always one of my personal favorites and I felt it was the most accomplished short tune I composed for a C64 game.

I got reminded to remake this tune a lot in the many years passing since. When my friend and producer of many years, Joe Bonar, reminded me of it recently, I decided to drop working on all the other songs for a while and work on this one non-stop.

Enjoy the preview! :-)

Please leave a comment, LIKE (if you do) and share! (subscribe perhaps?) I do enjoy feedback and comments GREATLY. Keep in mind it's a preview, but constructive feedback is absolutely welcome at all times. :-)

AmigaKlang - Calcpreculation (Virgill&Assassin)

Electronic musician from Norway. I started playing piano/keyboards in the mid 80s. After a few years at the municipal music school, I quickly grew tired of the simple piano-only education and got to move on to classes with keyboards and synths. From the early beginning with Technics K-200 rhythm keyboard from 1983 via some Casios/Hohner keyboards, I evolved with the later Technics KN-1000 and KN-2000 before moving on to Roland XP-50. As the computer revolution made DAWs affordable, 1999 made sequencing using Cubase easy and the studio grew ever larger with more outboard gear. Today the studio has become a sizeable and functional MIDI/arranging studio with over 40 synths/modules and more centered around a MacPro with MOTU’s Digital Performer, and numerous more or less famous productions.

I have always had a musical approach towards sound engineering and composing, rooted mainly in vivid harmonic structures and saturated compositions. Inspiration has always been the likes of Jean Michel Jarre, Vangelis, Eric Serra to name a few giants in the electronic scene, but also a heart towards well produced pop music from the 70s and 80s as well as epic film scores from John Williams, Alan Silvestri and Hans Zimmer. The baby era of computer music from the late 80s and early 90s was also a heavy influence.
