Sokoban Perfect (unreleased ZX, CPC, MSX, Amiga game)

dead seed

another track I made for my gimmick account, nothing too fancy. I'm surprised that this song works this well in this style though.

[2A03, SMB1-styled] Smart Race - Deltarune

This music was part of the soundtrack for an unreleased game named Sokoban Perfect, made in 1991 for the ZX Spectrum, Amstrad CPC and MSX computers.

This was composed for the Space stage, and a sort of homage to one of my favorite games - Galaxian.

The unreleased game can be downloaded at www.worldofspectrum.org/infoseekid.cgi?id=0018361

Composed with my Compact Editor (www.worldofspectrum.org/infoseekid.cgi?id=0018925) .

Chiptune Covers: Me & Mrs. Jones

Hostages (also known as Operation Jupiter and Hostage: Rescue Mission) was my first published game at New Frontier, for which I drew the sprites and programmed the music for ZX Spectrum, Amstrad CPC and MSX. The original music was composed by Charles Callet for the Amiga 500 version. This was also the first game of a very long and fruitful relationship with Infogrames.

Hostages - Full soundtrack (ZX Spectrum 128, 1990)

Menu theme of Mystical, for the ZX Spectrum version. The music is based on the original composition for the Amiga 500 version of game.

Mystical (ZX Spectrum 128, ~1990)

This is one of my earliest compositions on the ZX Spectrum 128 computer, just to test the sound driver.
Actually there were very few notes, poked directly into the source code, but then they were transposed in many ways, and also lots of arpeggio effects were used.

Space Madness (ZX Spectrum 128, 1989, unreleased)

This one was part of the soundtrack of an unreleased game named Sokoban Perfect, made in 1991 for the ZX Spectrum, Amstrad CPC and MSX computers.

The game and its full soundtrack can be downloaded at http://www.worldofspectrum.org/infoseekid.cgi?id=0018361

Sokoban Perfect - Mystery (ZX Spectrum 128, 1991, unreleased)

This is one of my earliest tracks, inspired by a music I heard in the Karnov arcade at the time. I did this before coding my Compact Editor, so all was written directly into the music driver's source code.

It's made of small musical phrases interchanged and transposed to make the tune longer. Nothing really interesting, just an old curiosity : )

Russian (ZX Spectrum 128, 1989, unreleased)

"Bit of Victory" by Plasma.

Listen to the Youtube version (It has a fancy visual):

This is my first original piece in over 2 years, really hope you all enjoy!
I started this project back in November of 2016 and have been working on and off on it since then. It took so long to finish because I tried to learn some music composition (Now I know music theory would help in my process).

There have been a few projects between my last release and this original that likely won't see the light of day. Let me know you'd be interested in a "WIP reel" upload of sorts in the future.

This experiment marks my first steps into Famitracker, Enjoy some bloops!
These sounds used 2A03 instruments with some *attempted* touchups in FL.
For any tracker experts out there, I'd love feedback on how to improve sound quality wise!

The Jazzy Beach Funeral [2A03]

Soundtrack for an unreleased Game Boy Color game, composed in the year 2000. It was one of my latests soundtracks for Game Boy Color. Unfortunately the game was never published, though it was one of the most amazing racing games ever made for the console!

Radikal Bikers - complete soundtrack (GBC, ~2000, unreleased)

My Chiptune Recreation of the song "Longest Night" from the Night in the Woods OST, arranged by Plasma Pip in Famitracker using 2A03 and VRC6 Instruments (mixed later in FL).

This is my favorite song from NITW and had a blast covering it. The entire game has a special soundtrack.

So I won't be super active for a while because I'm saving up my music for the next Famicompo which should be coming up soon. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Something might slip through the cracks and I might end up releasing something before then, but for now, I'm keeping my new stuff under wraps, since you're not allowed to post a track publicly before submitting it to the contest.

The stuff I'm showing here is stuff I've already shown off on public Discord servers, so I can't submit them. Here you go!

Short tune composed and dedicated to friends Hannah and Robin, NES style.

First chiptune in many years! Using the sound set I created for Music On - Retro Keyboard, with sounds of my NES soundtracks.

Hannah & Robin (NES style)

This one was part of the soundtrack of an unreleased game named Sokoban Perfect, made in 1991 for Spectrum, Amstrad CPC and MSX computers. This was all based around a fragment of "Fortune plango vulnera" from Carmina Burana. It was composed for the medieval stage.

Sokoban Perfect - Maximum, Minimum, Horroe! (ZX Spectrum 128, 1991, unreleased)

(cringy old description below)

I originally made this with the intention of entering it into Famicompo Pico 4, until I found out that that wasn't gonna start until December. So, I decided to share it now because why not.

Yes, that's the same description as the Doom song.

I was inspired to create this after hearing the beautiful soundtrack of the remake of Wonder Boy III... and then listening to the Master System version.

Original file name: wonder_mail_iii_-_last_mystery_dungeon.0cc

(((oh yeah also it's my birthday so I'm super old now)))

Wonder Boy III - Last Dungeon (NES cover / 2a03)

This is one of the earlier test tracks where I toyed with sample playback on the ZX Spectrum (before coding the Compact Editor). For the drums I used very small fragments of beeper sounds, while the voice samples were played using the AY chip.

It's a pretty boring and repetitive track, but it's also nice because it has samples in it ^^

The Get Ready sample was later used in the Light Corridor game soundtrack.

I did other tracks with small drum samples but only one of them was ever publised in a game; the pause music from Magic Johnson's Basketball.

It has been recorded from the ZXSPin emulator, which is the only I've found capable of reproducing the beeper sounds from this sound driver. I swear it sounded better on the real machine back in the time!

Get Ready (ZX Spectrum 128 + beeper, 1989)

In the late nineties I did several soundtracks for the games of Velez & Dubail, published by Infogrames. At first I would also do the sountrack for Wacky Races, but they needed a really fast sound driver, as the game would be some of the most advanced ever for the console (just check it, it's amazing). Unfortunately my driver was too slow for what they needed, and writing a new and faster one was far out of schedule and budget.

The tracks you hear are the first test, just to check if the game could deal with the sound driver CPU consumption. The tunes only use 2 channels (+ noise), as one entire channel had to be reserved for the sound of the car engine. They use many stereo effects, so be sure to put your headphones on.

In the end the job went to Manfred Linzner who did a wonderful work.

Wacky Races - test tracks (GBC, 1999, unreleased)

This music was part of the soundtrack for an unreleased game named Sokoban Perfect, made in 1991 for the ZX Spectrum, Amstrad CPC and MSX computers. I really don't remember for which stage this was composed...

Melancolía

Sokoban Perfect - Melancolía (AY-3-8912 ZX Spectrum 128 / Amstrad CPC / MSX , 1991, unreleased)

Soundtrack for Ronaldo V-Football and UEFA 2000 soccer games for the Game Boy.

UEFA 2000 shares some sound flavour to my soundtrack for V-Rally. For Ronaldo I tried to compose something more festive, with some inspiration from my favourite game musician :-)

Ronaldo V-Football + UEFA 2000 (Game Boy, 1999~2000)

My first commercial tune for the Game Boy, released in the US as Cool Ball.

The game was only 32k in size (just like Bomb Jack) but very entertaining. It only had this tune and a small jingle for the game over. I was doing the mandatory military service and composed this tune in a weekend off.

I remember how amazed I was about the new possibilities of the Game Boy sound (specially the noise channel and the pseudo stereo), compared to the 8 bit computers I used until then!

Pop Up / Cool Ball (Game Boy, 1991)

this song is cool
