Remake, or remix if you will, of my Technics KN-2000 original from 1994-95. Back then it was made with only five limited polyphonic parts: drums, bass and three melody parts (6, 1 and 3x4 notes!) using the composer, plus some effects added in the sequencer at the end. I may upload some of these songs from this era later on.

Here's a premixed video capture of the song back in 2009: https://youtu.be/NFVN5ZJPGfY

Robots R Us Remix

Hi there! I'm Joel, I enjoy making chiptunes and 8-bit music along with FM synth sounding music.

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.
