The introduction for this piece of instrumental jazz/rock, starts with a repeated riff played on tenor sax. This is then joined by the soprano sax playing a counter melody, which is repeated with the addition of the baritone sax playing another counter melody.
The main tune is played on tenor sax with a rock/boogie backing, followed by an improvised alto sax solo.
Overall a piece of medium paced (140 bpm) instrumental jazz/rock using a combination of acoustic and electronic instruments.
Composed and recorded July 2025.

Unlike the base version of this track, THIS one is actually programmed to play at -340 cents (or whatever).

I'm also posting this as insurance. ...aaand because I already should've done so a while ago.

Chrome gadget zone (Wily wars remix)

My first and only soundtrack for the Super Nintendo (SNES) back in 1995. The sound sources were recorded from a Turtle Beach - Maui sound card. My studio gear at that time consisted in that sound card, a Sound Blaster (the Maui had to be attached to an existing sound card), a pair of speakers and a Roland PC-200 keyboard (which I still have).

The sound chip (APU) was created by Sony and designed by Ken Kutaragi, who was also the designer of the Playstation. The chip was in fact a complete autonomous computer with its own CPU (sort of 6502 with additional instructions), memory (64k), and DSP which produced 8 channels of audio and also some cool effects. The APU communicated with the main console processor using 4 registers, and some kind of communication protocol was used to upload the code and sounds from the game cartridge to the APU during the game. The 64k had to be shared with the sound driver, sound sequence data, samples for the music & fx. Also some memory was required to process the commonly used reverberation effect (if necessary).

The development system for the console was a huge, grey rectangular box that communicated with the PC via a SCSI port and MIDI. My unit didn't work very well... and I had to spend some time every morning switching it on and off a random number of times until it booted correctly. The development tools were very rudimentary (compared to today's standards) and all written to run on MS-DOS only.

The soundtrack is recorded from the "Audio Overload" multi-sound chip emulator. I hope to be able to record the soundtrack from a real machine in the future.

Man of FAITH - Man of ACTION

Wanted to get out of my musical comfort zone a little so I made a song in 10/8 time that also incorporates neapolitan chords. Its still in C minor though, so not THAT far out of my comfort zone. :P

I'm fairly happy with how it came out, maybe some things could be improved with regards to transitions, but overall not bad.

Abyssal Fortress [Mega Man X-style original]

Hi! I've been working in the video game industry since the late 80's, be it as a graphic artist, musician, programmer, designer, or any weird combination of these. Most of my work is known as musician and specially for 8 bit game consoles. If you ever had a gray brick, probably you already listened some of my music!

I used to sign my earlier works as "Joe McAlby" because my name is just plain boring and ordinary. But then the nickname is also ridiculous... too late to change that I suppose!

I rarely compose music nowadays, so I use this account to share some of my past works, and hopefully new experiments too.

Be my guest, enjoy the music, and leave a message if you like it. It'll be appreciated!
