Dear Loppa. 💖

Tonight you had to leave us, after 16 long years. It was a difficult choice for Mona, but one that I wholeheartedly support – even though it hurts so much knowing that you will never ride along with me on our trips to Valdres again. Never again will you lie next to me in bed, cuddlin. Never again shall we go for long walks and smell all those exciting things along the road, and never again enjoy those treats that you never could get enough of.

It has been eight great years with you, since 2013, when I first started babysitting you, Liza & Thelma. You stole everyone's hearts with your kind and soft manner. Never did you bark, nor jump on anyone or even lick them down like most other dogs do. You were just quiet  and welcomed cuddles for as long as you could have it – otherwise you would just go and lay down  silently in your basket. ❤

I cannot count how many miles of car trips you have taken with me, nor all the walks in the woods. A tired soul has been laid to eternal rest now. And you deserve it so well, little friend. I could see how tired you were these past few years, poor sight, no hearing, stiff and aching joints etc. It would have been malpractice to keep you going at it any further. But still... we all wish we could have one last summer with you also. Our hearts bleed and the tears flow. If there is any afterlife, I know you're in doggy heaven with Thelma and Liza.

Thank you very much Mona, for all the trust I have been given babysitting your dogs. Words can not measure how much love they have given me and mom these years. And thank you for that last little farewell I had with her yesterday at your place. The biggest and warmest hugs as I know how hard this evening have been for you.

There's new shining star in the sky tonight. 💖

Ladies and gentlemen, may we present the official Generation 500 soundtrack! It's an Amiga module called "Generation" - and it´s made by none other than pROPER dISCO featuring dLx, Firefox & Danko!

It won the Amiga tracker music compo at Datastorm 2017 in Gothenburg, Sweden.

The original module can be downloaded here:
http://media.generation500.com/2017/generation-compoed.mod

Feel free to share! 

The book, Generation 500 (in Swedish only), can be preordered here: http://generation500.com

P.S. There is more to come later this spring... Keep your eyes and ears open.

Oh btw...

The filesize of the module is exactly 198700 bytes.
Amiga 500 was released 1987. :)

This is a song that can be played on a standard unexpanded Amiga 500. The soundchip of the Amiga is called Paula and has stayed pretty much the same since the first Amiga prototype, called "Lorraine", back in 1984.

Here you can see the video capture made by Johan 'sLASH' Elm of the demogroup iNSANE: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HTq4yx0vO4w

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.
