Name: Moonblaster - Italian Food House (stereo) by Jeroen Derwort
Duration: 1 min 59 s
Description: A collection of songs composed using Moonblaster on the MSX computer. The stereo effect is achieved by using two soundcards together: the FM-PAC (MSX-MUSIC) and the Philips Music Module (MSX-AUDIO).

Late 1997 I wrote a track called Dream House on the MSX, using Moonblaster for Moonsound. Now 25 years later, here's a new version of this epic tune, created with Renoise. Enjoy!

Een nieuwe aflevering van De Ondernemer met Jonathan van Noord gemist?

Co-host van Jonathan was dit keer internetondernemer Jeroen Derwort. Hij bedacht begin deze eeuw het online voetbalspel 'Online Soccer Manager' op zijn zolderkamer en liet het uitgroeien tot een miljoenenbedrijf, waarmee hij op zijn 32ste al in de Quotelijst van jonge miljonairs stond. 

Inmiddels heeft hij het bedrijf verkocht voor een bedrag waarvan naar eigen zeggen 'Ajax een goede spits kan kopen'. Over deze ondernemersreis schreef Jeroen het boek Scoren: van zolderkamer tot skybox.

Verder te gast in deze uitzending waren Ralph van Dam van Geldfit Zakelijk en Jeroen Zevenbergen van The Good Roll, Daan Gijbels van L'Oui, Esther Koolen en Jolanda Cornet van Trashious, en Wim Boekema van Nix&Nix. 

De Ondernemer is wekelijks op dinsdag van 11:00 tot 13:00 uur live te beluisteren op New Business Radio en is ook te zien, via de homepage van De Ondernemer, YouTube en Facebook.

This is another MSX-Music version of the Opening Theme from Dragon Slayer IV - Drasle Family. This time I recorded it in OpenMSX and later remixed it in Audacity to give it a stereo effect. I don't know why, but although this version sounds sharper than the real MSX one, it also has a hissing noise which I couldn't suppress. So it's here more as a proof of concept and a curiosity.

This is my debut single "Back To Zero". In this song I drew inspiration from starting from scratch as a musician, after a 20 year break. I had to (re)learn all my music making tools with a completely new set of hardware and software... knowing I was barely equipped for the task. This song is the first step on that journey.

It felt like stumbling into a dark place without firm ground to stand on. I felt hopelessly outclassed, lacking essential skills and knowing I had a long long climb ahead of me. That uncertainty is intimidating, and to counter it I initially tried to use shortcuts and tricks in my creative process. Of course, that went nowhere. However, as soon as I embraced the darkness of not knowing, and allowed myself to float in this space, I could feel the creative potential in the nothingness. I knew I needed to trust that void, and when I did, things started to flow again.

For me, Back To Zero is about lifting yourself up from the ground, standing up again, and coming back to life. This moment of resurrection holds many qualities. It is dark yet energetic, gritty but uplifting. I hope that it inspires you to take action in the face of danger, and that it challenges you to take a moment of reflection in the face of chaos.
