Once again, I am more than impressed! Great job as always! :)

I'm still throughoughly impresed by what you're able to pull out of these older toy keyboards! Makes me want to try and make something out of the ones I have :P

Never stop ^^ your music is my lifesblood

Good god. I have one of these older keyboards and I can't imagine myself being able to do more than bury a few kitsch tracks in a folk song. This tune is a testament to your abilities!

This sounds so nostalgic and I friggin love it <3

I think the rhythm was inspired by "Ott - A Shower of Sparks", one of my favourite tracks: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AH-umujWEGE

A demo song I made using only sampled sounds from the Technics sx-K200 Electronic Keyboard (1981). This was Technic's flag ship back in the days with 8 rhythms, 8 polyphonic sounds and 6 monophonic solo sounds. Sampled in 24 bit and re-combined into new sounds to give a broader palette to work with than the original 14 sounds.

The only extra added sample not from this keyboard is a crash cymbal borrowed from the Hohner PSK-30 keyboard since it has none built in.

My second keyboard back in 1989/1990 was the Hohner PSK-30 (Basically a Casio CT-460 inside, I believe Casio let Hohner rebrand the case for sales in Europe) because it was the only one I could afford at the time. Also very limited with 27 sounds, drums, sound effects and 20 rhythms. They boasted it had 465 poly mix sounds, but it was just combinations of two of the existing sounds together which was really crappy when I found out. :P

This song is made from only samples of these sounds, recombined in Phalanx sample player with effects, reverb, delay etc. to boost everything beyond what the keyboard is actually capable of. Still, it's the genuine sounds of the Casio chips at work here. Enjoy! :)

A song I made when rewiring my studio and had to test if everything worked properly afterwards. Turned out that it had to become a proper song after all. ;)

Borderline

This is my entry to The Sound of Scenesat Vol. 5. which was released on February 9th (https://music.scenesat.com).

This song started out as a very short jingle for my new Synthpop Tutorial series on Youtube. It had the potential to become a full song so it basically evolved from those initial 10 seconds of happy, go lucky synth thing. Lots of Nexus2, Roland XP-80, JV-880, Yamaha XS7, TX-816, TX81z and Motifrack. Crack open a Coke and chew on some bubblegum! ;)

Here's a little track I made from only Nintendo 64 Sound Fonts - in other words, just samples and sounds from the old classic N64 games. It's a challenge from one of my fans on Youtube, 
Allen Husch, who said: "I really want Anders to make a song with a primitive video game SoundFont. Super Mario 64 for example."

So here we are! I've been a sucker for many of the soundtracks on this platform, especially Wave Race 64, Mario Kart 64 and Pilotwings 64, so these are the main SF2 files I used, but I found that some of the others like Blast Corps, Diddy Kong Racing and a few other N64 extractions also were good, so this is a huge mix with a little from everywhere. But no other sounds or samples were used, only effects, EQ, compression and good old MIDI tracking in my DAW.

Think of this as a homage to the good old times and the eminent works by Kazumi Totaka, Koji Kondo and all the others (too many to mention with the fear of forgetting some). 

Thank you Nintendo for all the fun hours in front of the console in the 90s. :)

N64 Love

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.
