MMC September 2021. My tribute to the game music legend Rob Hubbard: an orchestral cover of the music of Lightforce, a Commodore 64 shooter. Made in FL Studio, using Albion One, EastWest QL Symphonic Orchestra and a bit of Sytrus.

MMC September

Lightforce - Tribute to Rob Hubbard

Amiga original by Matthew "4Mat" Simmonds.

Spiral Hands On 4Mat - Red Sector Theme (Spacemix)

Latest song, somewhat long in the making due to insane hours at work. The Pandemic certainly is over because everyone is having events and stuff which means I'm staying at hotels for weeks on end, barely home to change clothes!  

Had a crazy idea of showing the project playing in realtime from Digital Performer on this one, but alas.. my 2013 mac doesn't really like capturing smooth video no matter what I adjust, enable/disable or reduce payload when playing so the video turned out jerky as hell and unusable. But I just don't have the energy nor the time to shoot multiple camera angles of playing parts so it's just a bunch of stock content footage.

Started using Nexus3 pads and bass, but then the rest of my MKS, TX and various KORGs joined in. :)

Without You

A Remix of an Atari YM2149F Chiptune by !Cube.

I kept the remix close to the original melody and chord progression, because that's what the song is about.

For anyone interested in the production side of the song:

Produced and mixed 100% in Propellerhead aka ReasonStudio Reason.
Main SID/synth lead and bass lines are created with the Thor synthesizer.

Toni aka !Cube kindly provided me with the original and unzipped SND file so I could load it into the STEEM emulated instance of the MaxYMiser tracker.

From there, I meticulously transferred note for note into the Reason sequencer.
The challenge was to get the portamento/legato and vibrato right in the lead melody.

RoaNn, Felox - Yozakura

Neon Ghosts is our little detour into a completely different world – away from the dark realms, diving into a synthetic ocean of neon lights, retro beats, and cyberpunk melancholy. This synthwave–electro–ambient album is a passion project by Raphaela Hartmann, Sascha Häusler, and Thomas Kaiser – all devoted fans of synthwave and cyberpunk culture.

We simply couldn’t resist exploring this genre ourselves – painting glitch-stars across the digital sky and creating soundscapes that feel like neon rain, chrome dreams, and distant cityscapes.

This is just our first step – an experiment, a side project made with love and pure fun.
If you enjoy our little venture and the feedback is positive, we’ll continue building and expanding this journey.

Welcome aboard – the city never sleeps, and neither do we.
