It was an interesting experiment to do different sounding version of my Raw Digital Remix but with a very analogue sounding synth plugin this time. 
I used The Legend synth by Synapse Audio which is a very realistic emulation of a Minimoog Model D. All sounds are from this synth except the snare drum.

!Cube - Molecules (artotaku Moogecules Remix)

A rather nice catchy electronic track, named because all of the instruments (except drums) come from the Rob Papen Albino software synth.

My first chip tune since I retired in 1993. A catchy melody is still the main ingredient IMO. I hope you all like. Should I write a chip album? replies to 'Mark "TDK" Knight' on Facebook please.

Another attempt in the struggle to update my sound to sound like a commercial EDM-track. Although blaspheming by excluding the original arp-chords I feel the track came out pretty neat and met my expectations and goals. It's full of energy and some french speech spice things up even further.

R-Type Theme (C64 Version)

The Megasong Project
====================

Description:

The Megasong Project is a demoscene music project initiated by Fabian Del Priore aka Rapture to bring together talented demoscene musicians and trackers from all over the world, combining their forces in one big music piece, which they bring together in collaboration; each participant is working on a part of the song (each one working on a few patterns or so), before it's the turn of the next participant and the tune is handed to him. The end result is a massive coop tune, but sounding as homogeneous and consistent as possible.

The first Megasong is made in Spacesynth (think Laserdance/Koto) style, but thinkable for the future are all kinds of styles with all kinds of different musicians, a different song length, different software to work with and so on and on, so the whole project is flexible to the max!

I would define and imagine the Megasong stating the following basic features:

Style: Whatever the given group of musicians can agree on, everything is possible: Chipmusic, Demomusic, Gamemusic, Soundtracker ST-01 / Earlymod, Techno, Trance, German folk musik, experimental, whatever... Mainthing is working together on a FUN project! :D

Length: Minimum 10 minutes, maximum 30 minutes
Number of participants: Minimum 5 participants, maximum: Open end, but we shouldn't exaggerate here or else organising it will be complicated. ;)
Platform/Software: Depends. Could be anything from any tracker to any DAW (Digital Audio Workstation / music studio environment) like Steinberg Cubase. The music group must have roughly the same experience on the same platform. For DAW's like Renoise or Cubase, only freeware VST Plugins will be used (no commercial plugins) and exchanged between the group, so that every composer can take part on the project without any hassle!

For the first Megasong project, the following talented demo scene musicians could be engaged:

- Elrinth (Nicklas Holmgren)
- Rage (Harri Blom)
- Rapture (Fabian Del Priore)
- Serpent (Touko Väre)
- Silok (Robert Katsenos)
- Spiral (Mats Antonsson)
- Triton aka Shinobi (Marcus Andre Rousseau)

Every demo scene musican feeling talented and motivated enough is invited for exciting future Megasong projects! :)

Have fun listening and drop us a comment! You can reach us on Nectarine Demoscene Radio: www.scenemusic.net :)

Cheers,
Rapture

An original Amiga demoscene oldskooler and current video games composer, the name TDK was originally active in the early 90’s writing catchy and melodic chiptunes for the likes of Anthrox, Crystal and Melon Dezign. Having 'retired' from the scene in 1993 I went on to write the music for such games as Wing Commander (Amiga), Duke Nukem Total Meltdown, Populous: The Beginning and Dungeon Keeper 2.

The advent of the CD-Rom format, and therefore music licensing, threatened my role as a composer so I moved into sound design within my favourite video game genre, driving games.

As a self confessed petrol head, working for Codemasters from 2008, I headed up the audio team on the DiRT, Formula 1 and GRID franchises until 2015 I went 'full circle' back to composition and wrote the OST for F1 2015. Since then, I've penned the soundtracks for Overlord: Fellowship of Evil, the Indie game D/Generation HD - which I originally worked on in 1993, and F1 2016. After finishing F1 2017, I started my own audio production company, SONiC FUEL.

Never leaving the chip sound behind, 'TDK' was brought out of retirement at the end of 2012 with the release of my first album, Reawakening, and I've since fused my love of chip with my passion for the electric violin to perform a unique chiptune-violin set at SuperByte 2013, Chipfest, and Nintendoom 3.0. 

I'm now back writing in a number of different styles, but perhaps my main love of 70's analog synths may take charge of what I write.

Either way, TDK is back! Flit Kills Moths is back! (until Esso sue for brand copyright).

One final thing; if you enjoy what you hear please consider purchasing one of my albums on Bandcamp for little more than a cup of expensive High Street coffee. Thank you :)
