I love those chords progression. I can't choose my favorite for my community playlist T_T This one or Virtual Reality...

So thrilling and exciting. Great stuff from TDK as usual <3

Soundtrack for the Conspiracy 64k "Offscreen Colonies" available at http://conspiracy.hu/release/64k/offscreen_colonies/

This was done in a very short time but it was all the more fun and challenge to work on this - the brief was "slightly retro, uplifting, slowish", so I tried to make it sound like a bit of an 80s sci-fi movie endscroller track. Despite some serious micromanagement to fit the future visuals, I'm very very happy with the end result.

Track 8 from the D/Generation HD soundtrack album.

D/Generation was originally released in 1991 on the PC, followed by Atari ST, Commodore Amiga, and CD32 platforms in 1993.

I did the Amiga conversion of the PC title and end game tunes. There were no in-game tracks.

D/Generation HD, a 'high def' re-release of the original game, was released in October 2015 and I was given the opportunity to 'finish an unsettled score' by finally writing the in-game music missing from the original title.

Taking hints from 80's synth wave and cyberpunk, imagine John Carpenter writing happier music, this is the soundtrack I always felt the game was lacking.

I took delivery of a new pair of speakers in 2016 so remastered the original recordings in August 2017.

This song was part of the demo we released at Datastorm 2017. 
Our concept designer though the end of the song had too much spirit of a knightly hero to the rescue to be part of the demo. So i had to rewrite it a little to fit the atmosphere.
This is my uncut version.

This is the initial song I composed on request for The 8-Bit Guy to demonstrate the Casio Casiotone MT-68 keyboard. However, it was using too many other sounds and samples so it didn't feel in tune with the rest of the demo songs for the channel. So this is to showcase a little more how the keyboard could be used in conjunction with other synths.

In addition to layering the MT-68 on both bass, chords and playing the lead melody, these were used too:

Bass: KORG Polysix, Nexus2 FM Expansion
Chords: Nexus2 various expansions
Drums: Vengeance 80s Drumkit and loops

Music can make you daydream, and has the power to fill your thoughts and heart with harmonies and rhythms that make you want to dance and feel alive.

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 :)
