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. 💖

Escape Velocity

MMC December 2024. Turning fifty, I decided to write the melody I had had fermenting in my head for years, into a song. Made with FL Studio.

I Took What's Mine

This track was composed as a heartfelt tribute to the Amiga demoscene, a vibrant community that has inspired me since my youth. Creating music for this scene has been my greatest passion over the years, fueling my creativity and love for retro computing.

Amiga: on the crack of 17

I started this song about a year ago in hope that Kristine would find some vocal and lyrics for it, but as time went by we found that it didn't suit her as much as I had hoped. So it became an instrumental song instead.

Upbeat synthpop thing using a good mix between Yamaha TX816 (intro sweeps and FM pads), Roland MKS series, Korg M3R, M1R, Wavestation, Ensoniq SD-1, ESQ-m and various drum machines, soft synths and such.

On The Run (No Leads)

Started this one several years ago... 
Then dropped it due to no spare time... 
And finally I got around to finish it..  

The style has changed quite a bit since the first project.

This is a remix of a track from the good old C64 game "The Last Ninja".

Ben Daglish - The Last Ninja (The Wilderness Remix by Hazel)

Winner of YM2149-music competition at SillyVenture 2010. 200Hz replay rate tune composed with maxYMiser.

Blink

If you are familiar with the demoscene (especially on the PC side during the 90s) you have probably heard this tune a thousand times because of its awesomeness.

I decided to try recreating it in Logic Pro X with some soft synths. Enjoy!

Credits:

The original tune was composed by Jugi Kaartinen and was released in the demo "Dope" by Complex at TG95.

Jugi - Onward Ride (K-line Logic Pro X Remake)

Retro and modern electronic melodic music - forced together with computers and cookies since 1990. Heavily melodic and pretty much damaged by the Amiga chiptune and demoscene era, hopefully with a modern twist from old and new sound with a touch of arcade and gaming music.
