"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!

Jean-Paul developed a passion for computers and electronics at an early age, Born in 1974. His journey into composing began with the purchase of a Commodore Amiga in the late 1980s. Much of his music is rooted in the unique 4-channel audio capabilities of the Amiga. Between 1988 and 1998, he composed soundtracks for several Amiga games, including Odan, The Eggman, Storm, Venturer, and Mysticdream. 

As the Commodore era came to an end, he transitioned to CD-quality music production through a self-built studio, continuing to explore and innovate. 

Now, his work stands as a fusion of retro and synth soundscapes, capturing the spirit of the golden age of gaming and sharing it with the world.

I specialize in crafting custom soundtracks for video games. My music ranges from immersive soundscapes to epic battle themes, designed to bring games to life through sound.
