A friend told me to make this since I was out of ideas.
Turned out pretty well, if I do say so myself.

Bits And Pieces

I am happy to present you my maxYMiser tune for the Sommarhack 2023 music competition. It is a reminiscence to an ST chipmusic pioneer that inspired and influenced a whole generation of chipmusicians: Jochen Hippel aka Mad Max.

The Hippel Tune That Never Was

Nostalgie de mes premières composition sur mon Amiga 500 et Protracker.
Une pensée sur ces formidables talents de cette époque, qui composaient des merveilles sur 4 pistes et une disquette : David Whittaker, Jester Kyd, Chris Hülsbeck, Tor Bernhard Gausen (Walkman), Matthew Simmonds (4-Mat), Jogeir Liljedahl (Maniac), Frédéric Motte (Moby),...

The Endtune That Didn't Make It

A short music for the '300 days to go' invitation to Sommarhack 2024 by SMFX. Completely tracked at Fujiama 2023 party in Lengenfeld together with my long time scene companion 505. The tune is pure YM2149 soundchip sound, without any timers being used.

Sommerhack 2024 Invitro (505 and mOdmate)

Another enjoyable collaboration with my old demoscene comrade 505, done in the sunny days of late September 2023 and presented in the oldschool music competition at Deadline 2023 demoparty in Berlin.
 
Make more short chiptunes! ;-)

September Sunshine (505 and mOdmate)

demonstrating DCA envelope can have either multiple sustain points or a non-zero level for end step/stage. need to find out what is going on here, also causes the display step counter to corrupt/overflow/alias making it appear as if there are hundreds of steps

this is musically useful for creating either dronescapes or for compensating for the lack of a "sustain/hold" footswitch in the CZ-101. might be useful to do a version of this patch that only uses one oscilator so 8 notes can be overlaid before oldest note gets cut out. alternatively you could use the same patch in a cz-5000 that has more polyphony. 

performed / improvised live although after 9mins 33secs two unrelated improvised parts are layered over each other in editing.

there is a small drop out around 8:38 where i tap the scratchy volume slider

30min Drone Patch5 Microtonal Overlay Mix1 13min30sec Clipping

no idea why file name says patch patch5....probably because i named previous session that when i opened it? this is actually PATCH 11 being demonstrated as it isn't as impressive in mono mode (as i used in the other track 'Siren Gang Type Beat')

infinite sustain example / demonstration hidden settings extended parameters of casio phase distortion sound chip cz-101

going in playlist either after little box of colours in 2nd half of set or in place of / prior to the chordbot track in first half of set. idea is to have the 4 long tracks evenly distributed throughout the 6 hour playlist. so one long track every 1 hour and 15mins. (ironically that is length of a CD so a 4 CD album with one long song each 80 mins. But i still need to find/write another long track. That might be job for the fz-10m or just finish off the composition I was working on for beautiful machines...that is more important actually. I can of course send the midi to the FZ when it is written although originally was composed on  the CZ.

sakitto menda - after so much loss i felt entitled to a win

...and another cooperation with 505 for the Revision 2024 Oldschool Music Competition. Make more short chiptunes! ;-)

Avril 14th - NES Soundchip cover

...a small melancholic tune for the TTRAK music contest at GemTos 2024 party held in France on 4/5 May 2024. 

TTRAK (https://ttrak2149.com/) is an Atari ST chiptracker by Damo/Reservoir Gods that gives you access to sound features never heard before on the Atari ST before (the growling syncbuzzer instrument in this track is one example).

As a side note. I'll be uploading every finished songs I have made for the YM2203 / Play2CPC expantion board. 
Please note I NO LONGER produce music for any platform.

This cover is one of the first songs I made with Furnace for the YM2203. 
It is greatly inspired from BlueElecric05's work with the SPC700

I had to do some adjustments as it uses more channels
I made it for testing purposes with the hardware TotO developped for Alcon2020
This is an ingame music, so I wanted to keep 1 or 2 free PSG channels for the SFX.

SEGA has made some of my favourites arcade games in the 80' 
I was amazed with the crazy hardware they packed on their boards to keep the lead.
The original Acarde game actualy uses an YM2203 with a custom PCM chip.
