For years I've enjoyed listening to video game, arcade, computer "8bit Chiptune" and synthesizer music... but anything goes with me, if I like it - I just like it!!!
... so I make music for my own pleasure building up a library of sounds I have loved over the years. 
Mostly experimental and still learning to master the art of software and hardware synth keyboards I currently own a Yamaha MX49 music synthesizer (Cubase AI 6) after I sadly returned the Korg microSTATION. I love the Yamaha featuring over 1000 selected sounds from the MOTIF XS and MIDI that actually works.

Everything is FREE to download when track has over 100 plays.

Hopefully, someone out in the big wide world will create a computer game that will want to use my music ;)

Exciting stuff: There is a new movie coming out this year about the UK Gaming Industry... "From Bedrooms to Billions", click on the link below for more info... features interviews with Rob Hubbard and Ben Daglish.

Thanks for listening

Michael.

PS: Everything was recorded while listening with Sennheiser HD 201 headphones and Samson SR850 monitoring headphones. iPad I used Korg Gadget and iM1.
PPS: I'm going to upload Yamaha MX49 track onto another SoundCloud account, but they are still created by me but allows me to share other sets.
