This remake took a couple of tries to get right. The original XM competed in the multichannel compo at The Party 1995. It ended up in 16:th place which I felt pretty good about, given that the mix was absolute mooseshit.

Plenty of things ended up on the shop floor for this one. The original drums were all room and no slap. The guitar sample I stole from Zodiak (Hej, Erik!) had to be axed, as did the obscure wah wah guitar sample I forgot the source of. Most significantly, though, that pretty psyched sax solo had to go, as it was nicked from some The Roots live bootleg, so I decided to hand the reins over to the keyboards for this one. When in doubt, always bet on a hardsync solo.

The part at 3:11 is actually a decent enough ending, but I really didn't feel like wrapping it up. Three-minute songs honestly feel too short these days, so I threw in a return of the main motif with this meandering kinda "just play what you want, this is the fadeout anyway" part that was just fantastic to make. Always loved a good jam.

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.

This is my "In Space" album, which came from an idea back in 2018. I had just made Alpha Polaris, a song I just intended for background music for The 8-Bit Guy and his videos. After releasing it, it became popular with a lot of fans, so I soon made another one, Alpha Centauri B. This song was used by The Brick Channel and then got a lot of plays from his videos.

I got the idea of making an album with only slow, spaced out songs and put them on vinyl and cassettes. Some four years later, I finally got my crap together and finalised enough songs to actually fill this album, so here you are. 11 songs in more or less the same vibe, however some turned out to be a little more upbeat than the first ones, but hopefully this is  a good thing. Vinyl and MC is coming later this year.

Red Moon

Deadlight District is a cold, instrumental descent into a war-ravaged Russian financial zone. It opens with glitched Soviet tones and a slow, distorted kick—like distant shellfire in concrete canyons. Metallic synths rise like broken sirens, layered over industrial rhythms that echo malfunctioning escalators and flickering LED tickers. Midway, detuned piano and ghostly pads evoke the hollow grandeur of abandoned boardrooms and shattered wealth. The climax erupts in glitchy breakbeats and collapsing sonic architecture. It fades into a low-frequency hum and the whistle of wind through broken glass. Stark, cinematic, and unforgiving.

MADE OF SHADOWS

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.
