That's the Title Typo: It's"3rd", why it says "3th"?

The music I created together with a scrolling message I programmed for Hacky (one of my friends). The funny thing was that his few years old daughter started to dance on the music when we played it :P

Hacky's Birthday 2002

Made as part of a demo which I programmed for Jars (a friend of mine). It was inspired by the game Diablo II which we played.
So enter the birthday crypt, mhoehahahaha....
Here's the intro screen text that accomponied the music:

As Jars enters the crypt,
his only regret having forgotten to bring a torch,
he sees a eerie glow...

It just provides enough light to make out the outlines...
Carefully planning his steps he makes way to his destination..,
the terrible king of the crypt...

Moving closer the fearless adventurer trips over something...
Probably one of the corpses of previous adventurers that
have stacked up on the floor... Those poor souls fell prey
to the traps, may their sould rest in peace...

Unhindered by this experience our hero moves forward....
Glowing eyes stare at him....
Jars draws his sword and takes a swing at one of the eyes...

Suddenly a loud voice booms through his head:

Hey Jars, do you mind !!!
Stop stepping on my stuff....
I know I have to clean up my room....

Jars Birthdaytune 2002

AEGIS Sonix was in my opinion a truly amazing achievement for a piece of home music software that was originally released in 1986.  It is a genuine polyphonic soft synth which could be played in realtime from MIDI running on a humble Commodore Amiga from a single floppy disk with no additional hardware required.

The fact that this works at all kind of amazes me but to see something offering a crude filter emulation, PWM, waveform drawing, 2nd & 3rd harmonics generation, envelopes an LFO and a phaser truly amazes me.   Yes its 8-bit, steppy as hell, and full of digital artefacts but to me that is half of its charm!

In this case Sonix V2 was played live via MIDI and just to keep in line with the humble nature of this setup I decided to record it through an ART MultiVerb LTX which is the first reverb I ever owned in my youth and one I still like to this day for its character and darkness.

1986 AEGIS Sonix:  Realtime Polyphonic Soft Synthesis... on an Amiga!

Like breathing, improvisation is an unconscious flow from within.
Of course, one must understand the basics and have spent a good many hours building a tonal memory, but once one gets the knack of it, improvising, no matter what the instrument, is a Gift that keeps on giving. :)

As you tap into these inner autonomic cycles, you reach a Zone that's beyond anything you could consciously think of or plan. Like one's heartbeat, it's in tune with Life itself. It just happens. 

In any case...I love it when the Music is 'Floating'.......'Levitating' so to speak... not really going anywhere in particular, but tonally and rhythmically totally Present.  And... as we get better and better at finding the door to this experience, more and more wondrous music begins to manifest itself through us. it's almost as if we aren't even present.

Then the hard work of Arranging and Mastering begins!  :-D 

But be that as it may... for the Best experience of this one, I suggest you put it on Repeat at a Medium volume and let it go for 10-15 minutes.  it's sure to help you 'take a breath', become lost in peace, and relax deeply. :D  

May you inJOY. :-D

In De Back

The 3th preview/work-inprogress of my Bubble Bobble arcade game end tune remix.

This tune is also used as title screen music on the Amiga version (which is the version I've based this on). The original song was composed for the first Bubble Bobble arcade game (1986) by Tadashi Kimijima from Zuntata, which is the inhouse team of musicians for game developer Taito.

The version of the song I based my remix on can be heard at the start of this YouTube video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d1EtgtP1qVo

You can hear the original song in this YouTube video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w4nSDrvSRek

Most work on the 3th preview was done in august, some small changes in october and tiny changes yesterday. I feel it could be a little more dynamic and have some mixing/producing improvements. But it's slightly above my current skill level so I should either label it 'finished' or invest some time upping my skills.

Bubble Bobble endgame music remix (3rd preview, oct)

Track started 24 dec 2023, this export is from 5 jan 2024.

Thoughts:
- This track is still in a somewhat messy state. Not sure about the piano transition.. either have to remove it or clean it up somewhat (needs some direction/intention)
- Some EQ/balancing stuff needed, lacking skill so will just need to experiment
- What would it sound like with some real instruments?
- The drum pattern is too simple

A stripped down raw beats & bass mix to play out loud over the festive season to annoy you in laws!

Xmas Party Mix

Second attempt to remix 'what is love'.
- it a little darker and more fiesty than the first attempt
- it gets up to speed faster
- I feel this one is more a song in it's own right than remix like the first attempt

This one probably was the last piece of music I finished before moving on to other hobbies (photography, more programming, sport, watching tv shows).

SPeLLCoDER & Haddaway - What Is Love (SPeLLMiX-2, 2003)

This is a rip of the music from the Amiga Classic by Blue Byte, The Settlers.
Bring back memories??

Supremacy (Tel Me More) W.I.P.  Update March 12, 2018

I worked through the entire weekend putting more and more things together on W.I.P. Supremacy... Also worked in, some of the feedback I got from several music friends (Thanks for that!)

I added the first addition of the recorded choirs (there will be more of that). In case you wonder? Yes, the voice is mine (dubbed as a choir many times over).

Still "missing" (intentionally):  The main lead arpeggio! /|/|/|
When they're there eventually, they will be eargasmic.
Save the best for last, right? xD

Enjoy another preview of Supremacy!
Feedback is most welcome!

Thanks, guys!
