Hi guys ! Something a bit different, it's a jingle / background music, made for my friend Ilkka : if you are, like me, fond of gaming and retrogaming, you should check his brand new youtube channel : Game Scraper
https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCUw4pcWPsLjEktqABG5xe_w
Walkthroughs, reviews, analysis, thoughts and more ! Incoming very soon.

Also, I'm currently pushing my Atari STe further. Sorry for not uploading more, I'm working on a 200% chiptune release. I'm almost done ! Thank you for your patience and messages, it's greatly appreciated. Bye ♪♫

Game Scraper (Jingle)

"Our hero patiently waits for Player One to coin up. An eternity has passed, and when the battle finally continues, the world has changed. The resolution endless, the sounds crisp and clear… welcome back, Player One!"

This story is a metaphor for my own path in life: stepping away from a youthful dream and a way of living filled with community, games and music. That period never fully disappeared — it lay dormant in the background, waiting to be awakened. In the meantime, life happened: I built a beautiful family with my wife and kids, and I grew a company that now exists for 25 years, achieving incredible things on the digital front.

Still, music has always remained an essential part of my life. The beat and the melody were constant companions, lifting my mood and carrying memories of those early days — the music of Chris Huelsbeck and the soundtracks of Hans Zimmer.

In recent months, reconnecting with the Amiga community has reawakened that inner spark: the urge to create new songs. This track is the result of that awakening — my return to my first love. Player One Returns reflects this journey, beginning with the Amiga and the original ProTracker module To Be Or Not, evolving into a crossover in Electronic / Synthwave that recreates the feeling of those times. 

I dusted off the Amiga 1200, fired up ProTracker, connected the MIDI module to the Korg 01/Wfd, and invested in a new audio interface and DAW controller for the Mac to bring those sounds into Logic Pro. Strangely enough, it all felt familiar, not so different from where it began on the Amiga 500 — only now with far more possibilities. But the lesson remains: don’t get lost in tools. It’s about the melody, the emotion, and simply pressing play.

With Player One Returns I’ve tried to stay as close as possible to my original way of making music, recreating the 80s synths and sounds that bring me back to those days — and hopefully move others too. 

This track is my maiden project after thirty years, and it’s only the beginning. So… let’s coin up!

My second keyboard back in 1989/1990 was the Hohner PSK-30 (Basically a Casio CT-460 inside, I believe Casio let Hohner rebrand the case for sales in Europe) because it was the only one I could afford at the time. Also very limited with 27 sounds, drums, sound effects and 20 rhythms. They boasted it had 465 poly mix sounds, but it was just combinations of two of the existing sounds together which was really crappy when I found out. :P

This song is made from only samples of these sounds, recombined in Phalanx sample player with effects, reverb, delay etc. to boost everything beyond what the keyboard is actually capable of. Still, it's the genuine sounds of the Casio chips at work here. Enjoy! :)
