Soundtrack for the Ümlaüt Design demo "Under": https://www.pouet.net/prod.php?which=95485

Been a while since I did music, really; I wanted to do something that was very techy and not very melodic - obviously I failed at both of those things.

Depth Charge

This is a compilation of the Attack of the Petscii Robots and Planet X3 soundtracks converted to MIDIfiles for The 8-Bit Guy's Commander X16 versions of the games. Original tracks have been converted to be compatible with General MIDI (GM) and made using the Roland SC-55 as a benchmark. There are even six new songs for Petscii Robots last levels (10-15) which hasn't been made into full songs like the original soundtrack (yet! ;)).

Petscii Robots - Level 4 - The Islands (SC-55)

Award-winning composer for video games and Scottish artist, Barry "Epoch" Topping (PARADISE KILLER, SENTRY, THATCHER'S TECHBASE, ENCOUNTERS) returns with “The Needs”, 11 songs of lavish reflection in a modern city pop style. The album takes the listener through an emotional exploration of identity and change set against the backdrop of late summer. It fuses city pop, rock and dance music into a rich, dreamy blast of video game-tinged modern pop music.

We love classic video game music so here is a mashup of these two great tracks from the classic game Super Turrican for the snes. Original composition is by the musical genius Chris Hülsbeck. We tried to keep true to the original versions as best we could as well as adding more modern sounds to the composition. Mostly all of this was done by ear so hope you enjoy!

Super Turrican Stage 1 - 1 And 1 - 2 (Wolf And Raven Remix)

One night at 2am, I was holding my daughter so she could fall back asleep. As I looked out the window, the moon was huge and glowing, shining over the quiet resting sea. In that moment, the concept of Alpha Sphere was born.

Alpha Sphere

This album features classical, pop, and synth music. Inspired by European history.

Echoes of Peace

A remake of the title tune I composed for the Nintendo Entertainment System game "Overlord" back in 1991.

Overlord (NES video game)

Jeroen Tel - Overlord (NES Title Tune) (JT Remake)

2022 version: https://soundcloud.com/hansee/hansee-mordi-slippers-on-the-beach

Heavily melodic and snappy beats forced together with cookies and computers. Very much influenced by the chip tunes genre, with a modern approach.

Even more HardSpeed music! Elza concept art by Renz.
Space Pirate Elza is notorious across Federation Space. Despite the fact that only ever steals food, ammunition and fuel for her ever-growing crew. Elza has only been sailing the stars for 10 years, but is one of the most wanted pirates in the Galaxy simply for the fact that she likes to taunt the Federation. No one knows quite what the federation did to her, but it must have been bad. Some say that's where all the scars on her face came from. Some kind of experiment gone wrong during the mechanoid wars perhaps? Maybe they took her children from her?  
Elza considers herself the first member of the "Galaxy's free peoples," and believes in free love, free-flowing booze and not having to listen to anybody. She embraces pirate aesthetic, too.  One last fun fact: All the Tsu'ghui look exactly like her. Is she behind the Tsu'ghui attacks?
(And yes, her character design is literally orange spaceVerse. :| )
