Name: C64 Remix: Jeroen Tel-That’s the Way It is by Magnar
Duration: 2 min 57 s
Description: Commodore 64 remix of Jeroen Tel's SID song called "Thats the way it is". Turned into a warm summer edition released at SlayRadio Arok C64 SID Remix competition 2020. It was entry nr 33 out of 35, and got a final 14th spot in the compo. Hope you all like this modern take of a classic SID that pushed me into doing music for the demoscene for years and more years to come :) /Magnar

The melody sounds sooo familiar for me some 80's tv series I hear.... Niceeeeee remix

This is a recording of a track that's being played in realtime by a fully self-contained executable just 4,637 bytes in size (yes, BYTES, not megabytes). Made possible thanks to a tiny softsynth called 4klang. It took part in the executable music competition at Revision 2021

🎵 From Commodore 64 to AI – 37 years of music, reimagined.
In 1988, I started making music on a Commodore 64. Today, I create in Logic Pro with AI as my producer. My melodies are still built entirely by ear – I’ve never read sheet music – but now they’re wrapped in modern production.
On August 18, 2025, my new album, 88–25: Rewired, will be available on all major streaming platforms.
It features 20 tracks – 15 with vocals and 5 instrumental.
The majority is electronic music, but there’s even a country tune, Insuppressible, in the mix.
The Trust, Barricade X, GPO Grafter, Sharp Dressed, and A New Advice are just a few titles – some old favorites with a fresh twist, others with brand new names.
This album is for everyone who’s followed my music from 1988 until now, and for those who’ve told me how much these melodies have meant to them over the years.

Collection 21

MMC for July 2018. Rhythmic ambient. Sequenced in FL Studio, using Sytrus, Ogun, Harmless and a bunch of EastWest percussions.

Traveling these roads,
far too long,
home is,
where your heart is,
so they say,
my inner voices raises,
and the truth comes back,
from all what's wrong ...

Finding the track,
once laid before,
listening to the stars at night,
while they keep on whispering,
all my secret wishes,
and how much I miss the City Lights ...

Time to change direction,
time for a resurrection, 
my car is rushing down the road,
counting the miles,
when will I see the city limits,
when will I be home again ... ?

A Lifetime of Music

It’s all about Creativity. That's the key reason why someone like Magnar has spent his last past twenty years making music for the world of demos, games and beyond.

His claim to fame started on the Amiga demo scene in the early nineties, where he released most of his best musical work up to that date, in the music disk "Mirror" by the then already-legendary Norwegian team Andromeda. Then moving over to the hyper active TBL, Magnar was behind the main soundtracks of the chart-hitting demos Darkside (1996) and Panacea (1997).

"I was amazed by what was possible to do with computers, and all the great productions intrigued me into getting more involved in the scene community", he says.

The Present
Magnar moved over to Sweden during the summer time of 2000. Where he settled down to live together with his wife and two kids. In 2008, he finished building his privately owned music studio called Garage Outputz, which shows the level of his passion and inspiration for composing new music. The studio also doubles up as his office, where he can be creative in different ways with computer art. Magnar's ambition is to compile a CD album and delivering a lasting impression to listeners all over the globe. "I am composing a lot of new tracks, and when I feel satisfied, I aim to release that to the general public", he says.
