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.

Finally! My first album 'Fragments' is here! It's a real bouillabaisse of mixed genre and style.

SCENES is my first Retrowave album, and a sort of "greatest hits" of all my artistic influences: movies, TV series, cartoons, videogames, everything is there. The massive use of synths and LINN Drum samples guarantees the 80s throwback, but my love for the electric guitar phrasing lead me towards some rock episodes, expecially in "Neon Blades". SCENES may have a Retrowave style, but I think this album is for everyone, and I hope you will find yourself in some of these micro scenes.

Little thing I made for Espen Kraft's demo of the Yamaha TX81Z and TX816 video.

Let's go back to 1989 and perhaps Sierra's most famous Space Quest game: SQ3 and our hero Roger Wilco. And why not match the iconic sound track from Bob Siebenberg (the drummer from Supertramp) and Mark Seiberg with the KORG EX-8000, the rack version of the DW-8000 keyboard.

I've taken the liberty of tidying up some of the parts and making it more punchy as usual. I also felt the Fester Blatz and Monolith Burger themes could do with some 66% shuffle groove. ;)

The drums are Zenhiser Retro Drummer and Yamaha Motif XS-7.

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

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.
