ZX Spectrum tracks

8bit style 20

Soundtrack for the game The Sword of Ianna from http://www.retroworks.es/index.php that I composed for the ZX Spectrum 128, MSX-2 and Amstrad CPC computers. Despite being an 8 bit computer game, it's a completely new development.

Go get the game if you still haven't, it's free!

Meta Knight's Revenge - Super Smash Bros. Brawl

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 is one of the tracks I'm composing for the upcoming ZX Spectrum and MSX game - The Sword of Ianna - by Retroworks.

It's been quite some time since I last composed for a ZX Spectrum game, concretely 25 years! And my return couln't get any better than with this huge and impressive game. Stay tuned for the game and the rest of the soundtrack!

The Sword of Ianna - The Gorge Of Orlok (WIP) (ZX Spectrum 128 / MSX-2, 2016)

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)

The Sword of Ianna - The Fortress Of Nemrut (WIP) (ZX Spectrum 128 / MSX-2, 2017)

Another of the tracks I'm composing for the soon to be released ZX Spectrum and MSX-2 game - The Sword of Ianna - by Retroworks (www.retroworks.es).

With a mixture of "Barbarian" and "Prince of persia" gameplay styles, along with impressive design, graphics and animations, we hope you'll love the game.

I wanted to create a very atmospheric soundtrack for the AY PSG, well far from the catchy and rhythmic music I used to do back in the late 80’s. It's been 26 years now since my last ZX Spectrum soundtrack! This one will reset the counter again : )

The Sword Of Ianna - Fortress of Kashgar (ZX Spectrum 128 / MSX-2, 2017)

My first entry for Famicompo Pico 3, which placed at 16th place! Big thanks to everyone who voted!

FCP3: Mega Man 10 - Challenge Mode [VRC6]

Another of the tracks from the new ZX Spectrum and MSX-2 game - The Sword of Ianna - by Retroworks (www.retroworks.es).

The game will be presented and released next 30th of September, 2017 in the first RetroZaragoza event.

This will be my next ZX and MSX full soundtrack since 1990 I think. The last one was probably Mystical. I composed very long soundtrack later (Sokoban) during the military service in 1991, but the game wasn't released.

It wasn't easy to come up with this soundtrack after so long, specially considering the style, which is very different from what I used to do, but in the end I'm quite happy with the result and I think it fits the game very well. 

Check the game, I'm sure you'll love it! Here's the official page:

Faking It [VRC6]

(cringy old false description below)

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!

- Toto - Africa
- One Punch Man - BATTLE!!
- Rom Di Prisco - Romulus 3
- Dragonforce - Through the Fire and Flames
- Max Coveri - Running in the 90s
- Pokemon Mystery Dungeon: Red/Blue Rescue Team - Sky Tower

More Abandoned Covers / Announcement

(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)
