Headlines

A Remix of an Atari YM2149F Chiptune by !Cube.

I kept the remix close to the original melody and chord progression, because that's what the song is about.

For anyone interested in the production side of the song:

Produced and mixed 100% in Propellerhead aka ReasonStudio Reason.
Main SID/synth lead and bass lines are created with the Thor synthesizer.

Toni aka !Cube kindly provided me with the original and unzipped SND file so I could load it into the STEEM emulated instance of the MaxYMiser tracker.

From there, I meticulously transferred note for note into the Reason sequencer.
The challenge was to get the portamento/legato and vibrato right in the lead melody.

!Cube - Blipblop Memories (artotaku Remix)

Happy go lucky song that started off as something completely different a long time ago. Can't remember what the idea was, but about nine iterations later, and several months waiting for some real brass parts that never showed up, I figured I'd finish it before the year was up.

Lot's of KORG M3R, M1Rex, Wavestation and Roland/Yamaha synths making up the intro as well as the go-to bass, keys and synth plucks I usually pick. Replaced much of the guitars with parts from Håvard Caspersen. Strummed steel string, muted electric and a searing guitar solo in the middle. I also got Tylden to do a solo at the end, as usual – because, why not? ;)

2024 has been pretty rough for most people, but I guess we survived since we're still here. Hoping 2025 doesn't bring us closer to the abyss... I'm looking at you America and Russia! :P

I guess it's nothing more to say than:
Happy New Year! Let's go!

Let's Go!

Hansee & Mordi - Crust

VIDEO: https://youtu.be/Fu6TVUtry0s

Back in 1997 I wrote this half-way thing called "Epic of the 90s" which I had intended for The Gathering (Norway's famous data party). However, I never got around to complete it, and just recently found the original files on my Roland XP-60. So there was only one thing to do: Rework it and make it into something suitable for 2018. 

The song is a little homage to all the great artists in the demo groups and crews who made these parties what they were and are today.

Retro Grooves Vol. 3

The Gathering

All the music was composed and produced with one sample, which I time-stretched, effectified, pitched, modified in any way possible to come to all the individual instruments. (except the synthy things).

In dear, sweet memory of Raki, a super sweet kitten who didn't even get to the age of 1.
During exploring the world he was run over by a car... so f*cking sad!

Enjoy and play it loud!
Don't listen and drive! XD

A Maniacs of Noise release.

Proton Halo

Taking a journey to Vega, a star in the Lyra constellation - obviously a hypothetical and fictitious thing, but just wanted something cool and fitting for the track. Tried to make a little narrative about the trip, but they don't really have all the happy and proper clips I want at VideoBlocks. So use your imagination here and there. ^_^

It was originally intended for The 8-Bit Guy as a backing track for his videos, but grew and took a life of its own, so here it is in all its glory!

Made with most of the gear in my studio at this time:

AKAI S612 (Steel Drums)
Ensoniq TS-10 (Synclavier Vox)
Ensoniq ESQ-1 (Synth organ)
KORG M1Rex (Universe, space pad)
KORG Wavestation A/D (Deep Atmosphere pad)
KORG DSS-1 (Synth Brass)
Roland MKS-80 (Bass)
Roland MKS-70 (Synth Brass from Espen Kraft)
Roland JD-990 (Wide super saw pad)
Roland JV-880 (Analog sequenced arpeggio and bells)
Roland JV-2080 (Synth lead, plucked)
Roland CM-32P (Afro mute guitar 1)
Roland SC-55 (Afro mute guitar 2)
Yamaha SY-99 (Marimba)
Yamaha TX-816 (FM E.piano stack)
Yamaha TX-81Z (Pizzicato)
Yamaha Motif XS7 (Synth pads, leads, drums)
ReFX Nexus2 (Synth bass, pads, stabs, key arpeggios)
Zenhiser Retro Drummer (Drum samples)

Journey to Vega

Journey To Vega

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.

Let's Go!
