Excerpt III From Hergest Ridge ZX Spectrum

Prueba de sonido usando el sintetizador virtual AbSynth 5.3.2 de Native Instruments, grabada con Nero Wave Editor.

AbSynth 5 Test - Prueba con AbSynth 5 (Agosto 2022)

One of the tracks from my recent album release, Brain Damage, published in February 2015. Following with space music combined with avantgarde elements, experimenting with different sounds produced with software synthesizers from Arturia and Native Instruments, resulting in a partial platform for relax and meditation, but also a suggestive way to enter into another state of the mind.

"Turn off the light
Take a deep breath
And jump into space."

Drifting (fourth track from Brain Damage)

My last WYZtracker tune is an arrangement over a popular song from techno-pop Spanish duet Azul Y Negro, The original song appeared for the first time in 1982 The Night album as an instrumental theme and lately rearranged with lyrics for their 1983's Digital album.

No tengo tiempo (Con los dedos de una mano) (ZX Spectrum 128K - WYZtracker)

My last tracker, the main theme for a new ZX Spectrum videogame, using again WYZtracker tool.

Godkiller 2 (Main Theme) (ZX Spectrum 128K)

Una versión primeriza de un tema de Mike Oldfield hecho con el WYZtracker. Tengo que recuperar algo de tiempo y volver a aprender cómo crear sonidos de instrumentos, efectos FX para el canal de ruido blanco (aunque eso es algo casi instintivo en cuanto te pones a manejar el citado programa tracker), así como aplicar arpeggios, vibratos y glissandos a cada uno de ellos en momentos clave.

Aún me queda mucho por aprender con el WYZtracker y no descarto dar el paso a otros "tools" parecidos que sean más intuitivos a la hora de crear y editar música chiptune.

Tricks Of The Light - ZX Spectrum Chiptune Version (Demo)

Recorded in 2003, this track belongs to a demo album of mine called "The Voice" containing two suites in a vanguardist form, in which I tried experimenting with voices, sounds and some electric devices like assorted keyboards and PC computer. It's another part of my recent past as amateur musician.

Instruments played: Casio MA-101 tone keyboard, voices and effects.

The Voice                     

Soundscape D (Ultimate Vision)

Another piece from Soundscapes Suite appeared in my demo album "The Voice" of 2003, less experimental and much melodical.

Instruments played: Roland E-66 keyboard and effects.

Soundscape C (Movements of Visions, Part 2)

Taken from another demo album recorded by 2002 called "Light Freedom" containing several tracks under electronic label. Cover image was used as artwork. Instruments played:

Myself: Yamaha PSS-790 keyboard
Rafael Alvarez: Roland E-66 synth

This instrumental song was improvised and recorded only once with the collaboration of a friend of mine. Little mistakes as I played in this excerpt, but as soon as we created the representative climax near the end, we got satisfied.

My real name is as described in my profile, while my seudonym in forums and some blogs is Neil Parsons (taken from Neil Young and Alan Parsons, two of so many music heroes of mine), as well it can be my musical seudonym if it happens to be some day in a next future. My interests in music are very eclectic, from classical to electronic and symphonic rock. I also like soundtracks, ambient, new age and landscape music.

I will block spammers the least they bother me.
