This is another piece of 4-channel Amiga tracker music (created with MED) that I brought back from the nineties (1990). 
Most of the tracks that I created with the Amiga have a great influence on House music, and this is one such experiment.

**MED is still a bit tricky because no matter how good today's players are, the MED format is still unique and some samples / effects are not 100% carried over like the original, still the main essence is intact.**

House BOB

House B.O.B. (Amiga 4-channel tracker music)

This is another piece of 4-channel Amiga tracker music (created with MED) that I brought back from the nineties (1992). 
This one features my young son's voice (around 5 years old) and a theory I've had for a long time that 1 + 1 = 3 and over the years I found on the internet that it might not be the only one that had similar ideas on the matter. Some parts of this song is inspired by the song "You spin me wise round".
A peculiarity of this song is that in some segments I made the Amiga's power LED 'dance', thanks to the low-pass filter that can be enabled/disabled with some commands and this made the LED change in brightness. A nice trick for the song that can no longer be enjoyable.

1+1=3 Frenzy Dance (Amiga '90s tracker music)

This is another piece of 4-channel Amiga tracker music (created with MED) that I brought back from the nineties (1990).

This piece was supposed to start out as a Reggae experiment and ended up sounding like something I could erase later, like many other tracks that I sadly lost.

Funky West Reggae

Funky West Reggae '90 (Amiga 4-channel tracker song)

I think I started making house-like music tracks with this song on MED music tracker , where House music was all over the place in the early 90's and I really wanted to do more than bleeps with the 4-channel Amiga 500 back in the 1990.

It helped that I have friends like Eduardo Torres and José Pérez who were always sharing music modules and samples that always keep me interested in making more tracks and sharing notes with them.

In those 'bedroom DJ' years, I ended up getting a lot of song samples, that it was a crime not to try to experiment with them in new ways, so our songs back then were for recreational and learning purposes only. So I wasn't too concerned about the copyrighted clips, so bear with me on that matter.

DaMix'90

DaMix'90 (Amiga 4-channel MED music tracker song)

4 Channels Amiga MOD created in 1993 using SoundTracker.  It was a mix of music of the era that I did to include in an animation demo... while having fun being sick with chicken pox.

Another Amiga MED-Tracker 4 channel music file from 1990 saved from extintion.
I have no 'memory' of why I called this 'AMNESIA'; pun intended.

If you're wondering what I'm using to export the song today, I'm using OpenMPT. It is an almost perfect emulation of the MED/OctaMED. I think the program is perfect enough for .MOD files, but .MED files still have some incompatibilities, but it still sounds great.

This is a folkloric type music from Puerto Rico (Plenas) and I named it "Un, Dos, Tres, Cuatro y Cinco" and I incorporated it on an iPhone game, "Conga Replay", that we create for Evermagica.

It is still Tracker-based (originally done on an Amiga 500 computer with OctaMed) back in 1992 (aprox.)

A techno-mix of Spanish folkloric music written in 1992 on an Amiga Computer using a Tracker software, and later used in 1993 as a main music song for a Briscas (Spanish Cards) Game (also for Amiga Computers).  Check http://Gypsy-Cards.com for a history of the game (available on the AppStore)

BRISCAS (Spanish Techno MOD)

A Commodore 64's SID version of Puerto Rican folkloric music (Seis) done with a Tracker software (SoundMon for the C64) in the 1987's.  Probably one of the very first Puerto Rican chip music created for a home computer in the 1987's.
Thanks to Eduardo Torres for saving this song!

Update April 2014:
Thanks to my friends @balun for bringing this to the attention of goto80 blog at:

Jíbaro C64 (Original Chip Folk SID 1987)

This is an Electronic Remix of one of our best folkloric "danza" music composed
by our talented Antonio Cabán Vale alias "El Topo".
This is only part of the song, as many of my FL4 compositions was put in a hold in 2006 as I get tired of FL4 for music composition.
This rhythm was inspired by Dance Dance Revolution game.  I wanted to include this song in those "customized" DDR based games, maybe someday.

One of my very firsts Amiga MED 2.0 Tracker creations in 1990 (probably the second after "Da'MIX") after using SoundTracker for a while.  It was done for a demonstration on how to create a song with this "new" tracker software in the Commodore Amiga User Group of Puerto Rico.OctaMED came later and was my favorite tracker of all times.



TECHOUSE '90 (Amiga MOD)

I made many of these "Trance/Techno" Style Tracker songs in the 90's in the Commodore Amiga, so this is one of them.


Coding Robots with Sonic Pi (see code)

This is my first attempt to create a dubstep track after 4 years of hibernating from making music on a tracker or sequencer.I finally opted for using LMMS (Linux MultiMedia Studio) for being open source, multi platform and FREE.Although it is only for Linux and Windows, it runs GREAT on a Mac using CrossOver (Wine), so Im happy with it.

COFFIN DANCE 8-BIT Chiptune

Programar es como escribir una canción, una poesía.
Cuando no estoy programando, compongo alguna tontería.
Me gusta la idea de convertir un 1 y un 0 en una pieza de arte, aunque sea sólo yo quien la entienda y disfrute.

En esta página tengo canciones creadas con "Trackers" en la Commodore 64 (SID, 3 canales), Amiga (MOD, 4 canales) y PC (Fruity Loops 3&amp;4) desde los 80's, 90's al 2007.

Mientras siga rebuscando y encontrando canciones que tengo perdidas, las iré convirtiendo y subiendo aquí en SoundCloud… a ver si me animo también a escribir nuevas.

(Actualización: 25 de noviembre 2011 subí mi primer intento de dubstep, "Dubstep With Care" utilizando "Linux MultiMedia Studio" después de 4 años de inanición)  

(Actualización: 19 febrero 2012 Estoy utilizando "Renoise" (Tracker) en Mac para hacer algunas creaciones de Dubstep/DrumAndBase porque me parece que me divierto mas componiendo en Trackers (ya es natural para mi) y porque hace mas sentido en este tipo de música electrónica)
