"Dandelion Shuffle "
By gusse^digisonix
Track started on PC / FastTracker2 some time back in 1997.
Tune finished on Mac / MilkyTracker august 2013.
4 Channels.

This is the oldest tune I have gone back to and finalized to date. This is from way back in 1997 before I started doing multichannel chips.  I have keept it 4chn but added loads of new samples.  

The core of the tune is very basic but coming back to it I’ve tried to have a bit of fun with it to spice things up. 

I see this as a throw away sort of song, but having finalized it I might as well post it here in case some one else feels otherwise.

"Legacy system anthem"
By gusse^digisonix
Made in MilkyTracker 2013

Since I started playing around in trackers again a few years back I have generally tended to pick up old unfinished tunes from my archives and tried to finalize them. 

This is not one of those old tunes, this is a brand spanking new one made from scratch 2013. I came up with the bass and drum groove and everything else is built around that riff. It all fell into place easier than usual and all in all it was a very fun tracker exercise.
 

The last couple of songs I have been working with have all been smaller 4 channel tunes with many restrictions. So when this tune got going I instantly felt it would be fun to leave the restrictions out of the picture this time and just go for it. I have used sampled and in som cases processed c64 sounds as well as my own hand drawn waveforms.

 
I had two big influences making this tune and if you like my tune you might want to look them up:

Chris Huelsbeck –  ”The Wall” & ”Mr Walker and his factory” from the Turrican 2 soundtrack (Amiga).  My favorite game soundtrack of all time, I love those big synthrock themes!

Mitch & Dane – I love all their groovy pop stuff on the c64, ”Bitchbass” might be the most obvious influence on this particular tune.

This tune was finished and released August 25th - Birthday dedication to my dear friend Fredrik Klingwall: I know you are not the biggest fan of this sort of chip music but now you have a tune dedicated to you anyway... Deal with it!! ;-)

I found some nice c64 samplepacks online and this is what I ended up doing with the sounds. 
This tune started as a ring signal for a friend but when I got going it quickly became too long.

The instrumental version of "Emelia" adds a reggae-chord progression and is supposed to be a bit danceable.

"Cracked Nostalgia" (compo edition, one loop)

There is a little story behind this one.

After finalizing a bunch of old tunes without any size/channel restraints I wanted to challenge myself. The goal was to make a little 4chn chip no more than 20kb. Possibly as a contribution for the EDISON 2013 oldschool/tracked music competition.

I scanned through my old workfiles and stumbled upon a few patterns from 1999 I could not remember having made. I got a bit of an inspiration going, came up with an idea for a progression and hammered it out as fast as I could. It ended up the tune you can listen to on this page.

…the thing was I still wasn’t sure about those instigating patterns so I asked around with some old scene friends. Finally it turned out those first patterns were made by Loonie. It was something he wrote down when he was brainstorming for a contribution for the chiptune compo at LTP3-party back in 1999.

I asked if he was OK with me releasing this tune as a coop, he said yes and here we are.

We hope someone enjoys the final tune!
