A remix/remake of "Draconus" (subtune 3), originally composed by Adam Gilmore and released on the Commodore 64 in 1988

Draconus

On 7th December 2023 I was approached via Messenger by Arturo Dente from “Back to the 8 bit” who was making a little Christmas demo with the entries for his "Timebox 64 - Christmas" contest, and he asked me and my brother whether we could make a tune to play during the slide show. Since I was a kid I have always liked to make a Christmas tune per year. Unfortunately, due to "life" (and especially to work), in the most recent years I didn't have the time to do it, with much regret. So I thought that this was a very good chance to renew this "tradition" of mine, and I accepted!

The tune - which is my second try (though usually the definitive version is the third try) - is very simple but catchy, and I tried to incorporate a few peculiar sounds that I associate with Christmas: bells and... zampogna! "Zampogna" is an italian instrument played especially by southern Italy's shepherds during Christmastide. They used to come even to my town when I was a kid, but I haven't seen them for years, and I really miss that sound. That's why when I decided, at the end on 2024, to release the "single" on streaming platforms, to convey this nostalgic mood in the title, but without using the word "nostalgia" and its derivates. How to do it? Well, "nostalgia" is a popular theme all over the world, even in one of my favourite countries: Japan. If you watch "nostalgic" videos you hear people say: "Natsukashii!" all the time. So I decided to title the tune: "Natsukashii KURISUMASU", where "KURISUMASU" is the japanese way to say "Christmas".

“Technically” speaking, the music is very simple, with a few and very common key changes and lots of 9 and 7+ added. Towards the end it switches to minor to symoblize the nostalgia towards the past Christmases, but it ends in major, with zampognas, meaning that anyway that feeling remains, even if we live the present, as we should always do.

I hope you’ll enjoy the tune and spend a merry and meaningful Christmas!

My name is Julian Maramieri. Better known as Nostromo. I produce the genres: New Beat, Techno, EBM, Industrial and Minimal Electro....

Between 2004 and 2007 I built my own recording studio called "Oalanka Studios". So a lot of demo projects were created with musician colleagues, but I didn't really release this music. 

You can hear me here on my site... Under my stage name Nostromo. 

However, my recording studio "Oalanka Studios" no longer exists... I closed it on January 2nd, 2024. My current recording studio has become very small.... Just for me :) 

By the way, before I forget. The music style “New Beat” that I produce was a created music style in Belgium from 1986 to 1992. 
Maybe my "New Beat" isn't the original from Belgium. But then I developed my own “New Beat” style. 

Nevertheless, thanks to all Belgian "New Beat" producers and the inventor of this brilliant genre. Marc Grouls, Olivier Abeloos, DJ Dikke Ronny and In-D. Unfortunately I wasn't able to get to know you personally. 

I continue to produce this genre for you...

Have fun listening...
