Gareth Morris (GwEm) has left a deep landmark on the chipmusic culture. His music-editor maxYMizer inspired many new talents to compose chipmusic for the Atari STe. As musician he is deeply rooted in the sounds of Acid, Dub and Dancefloor. Here you get his greatest classics he composed over the past years for the ym-chip.

GwEm/Nick Scarim - Spy Vs. Spy

Nicolas Flandin has started with music programming on the ST in 2007 and pushed out quite a mass of 17th tunes in the first year! His newer elaborated chipmusic compositions sound quite different from the norm. He incorporates high quality sample drums and mixes them with sid-like voicing to a unique yet minimalistic electro-cocktail.

Tomchi - AC 2010

Gunnar Gaubatz (Big Alec) is one of the classic composer on the Atari ST and raised the level of Chipsound on the YM a bit higher in the early nineties. He was very eager with producing accurate chip-drums which sounds nearly like sampled. This was before the scene opened up and new programming-techniques evolved. Hiw works are still outstanding in comparison. With "Prophecy" he has managed to incorporate new techniques, he called it his crown-jewel, his magnus-opus.
