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.

Welcome to the first of the final soundtrack batches leading up to the demo release! It's been a long ride, and we at Team Chroma hope you enjoy what's coming!

About this track!
The last intermission track to be posted for the demo. I kind of got carried away with this and it ended up being longer than previous intermission tracks; I guess you could say I was... inspired? Aren't I a riot!

Anyway, if you want to follow our progress day-by-day or get in contact with us, join our community discord server! We are effectively always able to be reached on there.

And as always, the download to this track and all others is open. If you intend on using this in something to be published again (videos, remix, etc.), please give credit where credit is due.

Cover art is done by me, just like the other tracks. Here's a little information about the game:
What is Sonic Chroma? Chroma is an HD 2D Sonic fan-game based entirely around trying to jam as many new, experimental, and creative elements into one Sonic game as we can while keeping it as fun as possible. New elements you may see in gameplay include ideas that may be normally considered "taboo" for Sonic games, ideas that you may have never even heard or thought of, or ideas that you may have already thought of and dreamed to see in a Sonic game one day whether it's official or fanmade.

The people behind this project (that's us!!!) are a team of earnest, mostly college-faring people from all over the world who decided to get together to create, just like how every other team has aimed for, what we feel is the most fantastic and from-the-heart Sonic experience as we can.

What sets Chroma apart from the rest is that our goal is to combine a whole buffet of fresh or otherwise unseen ideas with the classic Sonic formula to carefully craft and bring you an HD hybrid game. Why only let you play unique levels, give you new art to gawk at and new music to listen to, when we could also give you an entirely unseen gameplay experience on top of all that? It's the logical next step, and we're proud of working to see it realized.

If you have any questions, want to contact us, or are just feeling even remotely bored, join our community discord server via the link above. We hope to see you there!

Chiptune Song: One For Sigmate

This instrumental cover kind of came out of the blue. I've always loved the version of the song featured in the 1965 film version of "The Sound of Music", sung by Julie Andrews, and used the vibes from my recent FUSION DANCE collab album (with @that-andy-guy ) & Study Buddy album as sonic blueprints for the direction I wanted to take this cover in. I also was heavily influenced by the works of my friend @sylcmyk !

I really dig Mario Kart 8's jazzy credits music, so I took the sample & flipped it.

Early 2019 Espen Kraft made "We should be together", a 90s UK House inspired track showcasing his 90s synths, drum machines and samplers.
You can watch Espen's original video here: https://youtu.be/KlrByjerz4c

It was such a great song I felt the need to try and bring up to another level. beef it up and make an even more up tempo, fusing both the UK house scene with some US and Chicago House (and a dash of happy synth pop) so there you go. Hope you like it.

Dead Cells OST (Fatal Falls) - Fractured Shrines

A Tulip For Genji

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.
