Cool chiptune :) Reminds me old demoscene times ;)

is there a name for that particular type of galloping bass rhythm? <3

Love this one. So happy you're on soundcloud! Used to download your mods from waaaay back

That overused crash cymbal makes the new version a downgrade for me. The original is one of my favourite chiptunes. Why change the original and not make a new version?

ChipTunes

Nearing 1000 downloads, and SoundCloud expect me to pay for letting you all download for free. Not gonna happen I'm afraid, sorry.

Follow me on Bandcamp - none of this silly pay money to follow shit... 

A 27 year veteran of the video game industry, TDK takes you right back to his 90's
demoscene roots with this catchy little ditty, leaving the C64 behind for his first attempt at a
more classic Nintendo sound.

You Can Have Mine

"Wake up call" is an alarm shouting at the human race as a warning about human critical impact on its environment and consequences on our future. Will we ear it ? A hypnotic wave that gently pulls you from sleep, a melodic invitation to an inner awakening.

My submission for Chiptunes = Win Volume 4! Very appreciative that I was able to get on this compilation, which is just jam packed with amazing tracks. Be sure to check out the full album here!

https://chiptuneswin.bandcamp.com/album/chiptunes-win-volume-4

As for this track, for me it was a chance to focus more on percussion and arrangement than I normally do. I really tried to work on my percussive sound design and flesh out the sound of the track with more than just synthesizers and chip sounds. Hopefully you enjoy it!

Erethism

The now famous third anthem we made Kenët and me for our good old friend "Unreal".

I composed the main melody and arpeggio chords progression and Kenët did all the rest, especially the wonderfull leads :)

You probably heard this tune before in (lots off) keygen/warez menu, in hundred different versions on YouTube, but THIS ONE is the original, released in september 2001 in the Rebel's chipmusicdisk #1 (http://pouet.net/prod.php?which=3604).

Unreal Superhero 3

My very first Nanoloop 1.3 music! Direct output from a good old DMG-01.

Nicotine Pang (Extended Mix)

Just a little love letter to a genre that vastly broadened my musical horizons. In particular the early works of Simon Posford (Hallucinogen and Shpongle) had this lasting effect on my approach to writing music. The way he borrowed ideas from anywhere and everywhere really made me feel like genres and constraints are determined by the musician, not the listener, which was a good lesson for young me.

Enjoy!

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 :)
