thanks! I love all your retro inspired stuff man! I could listen to it alll day

Nice and well done stuff, i am back in my demo time :) ... havent listen to something from the Raspbery since before. I am right: you using an emulator to make the music??? Fav + greets:)

I love the bass line, and solo, omfg this is briliant!

‘Hold It Close’ is an overview of my journey as a music producer. It touches on the pitfalls, ambitions, and promises that you make to yourself throughout the pursuit of being a musician.

As I began writing with a feeling and an atmosphere, I started thinking, “What am I going through while making this? What do I want to talk about? What do I need to talk about? Who else is affected by the same things?”

This album is my answer to these questions.

Thanks to: my ever-supportive friends, family, mentors, and the one reading this :)

This is my submission for Audio Secret Santa 2022 hosted by @onefin!

My prompt was: "Can you write a bossa nova song that I can stroll along Brazilian beaches to?"

Seafoam Stroll 🌊

Throughout HardSpeed's narrative, there is a group of recurring midbosses who think they are the main villains. I decided to give them their own theme for when they're doing a monologue at you while you're just trying to go about your day.

Demo version of "Decker" from my 2022 album, Incline. This was before Vinnie Colaiuta or Ric Fierabracci recorded drums and bass respectively.

Decker - Demo

I'm always interested in pushing classic computers to their limits.
This time I was given this opportunity by Paulo Simoes who programmed the Hex-Tracker 849a.

This song has been made on a pure ATARI TT, a machine released in 1990, with 4Mb of RAM, 8-bit sound quality, with 2 hardware digi-channels only.
The trick it - Hex gives 16 channels, using the Atari's 32Mhz Motorola CPU.
(Can make more but with a substantial sound quality reduction).

This song is a MOD format and has all its limitations (8 bit samples, only 64Kb for a sample, only 31 samples in the module, octaves limitation) but the only difference - are those 16 channels in the MOD (software mixing).

Recorded from real hardware (that originally has only 2 digi-channels, haha). 

Enjoy, if possible.

Yerzmyey - aTTraction

"Happier times. Before he watched Camdyn disappear under the flood waters, and before the fire.
That was all so far away now, just like her smile and her laugh, they receded into the fog of memory.
Memories were odd. Subjective. They would drift in and out, and assault without rhyme or reason. Memories made everyone who they were, but if one stopped too long to consider every single one, they might've been left wondering who exactly those memories made them."

This is the 'full' version of 'Memory' first heard in Season 1. There are a few new bits and baubles, to signify memories of the past being made clearer, by returning to a long forgotten place.

"Ursula (part 2)" by Yerzmyey. (C) 2015. 

This song has been made entirely on Raspberry Pi 2. Also, it has been recorded directly from the machine. 
22 channels have been used. 

Generally, the R_Pi's sound is being generated by the Broadcom BCM2835 chip (for model '1' of the R_Pi) and by Broadcom BCM2836 chip (in model '2' of the R_Pi) - and in my case it's the BCM2836 chip - so it's resolved somewhat like in ZX Spectrum: the sound is being generated by CPU.  

It works with 11 bit quality. It's not an actual DAC, it is a digital PWM module (gives a 'pulse width modulated' signal) working with frequency around 40MHz and it is low-pass-filtered. 

The funny thing is, I also rendered the song directly into harddisk and compared it to the version recorded from real R_Pi: and I deleted the rendered file to hell, haha. The original Pi sound is warm'n'soft; doesn't remind thousands of razors. 

Some people say R_Pi isn't good for music. 
They are WRONG.

Yerzmyey - Ursula (part 2)

This is actually a pretty dang old remix for a currently unannounced (or not) side project with @canofnothing called Super Doctor Mario. We'll reveal more details about what exactly is going on later, but here's the first bit of it! It tries to combine elements from every version of this song from the Dr. Mario games, plus some original stuffs and thingies.

Chill [Remix - SuperDrM Project]

This is a 4-channels MOD written for ATARI 800 XL / 65XE (Pokey). 
4-bit quality.
It came 1st on Glucholazy Atari Party 2015 (XL/XE MOD Compo). 
Recorded from real hardware.

In 2006, electronica artist BT (a.k.a. Brian Transeau) released his 5th studio album, titled "This Binary Universe". Featuring a collection of downtempo, experimental works, as well as revolutionary usage of "stutter edit" glitches, This Binary Universe became an inspiration for many, not only for its unique production aesthetics but also in the way that its simple, nostalgic melodies evoked an emotional resonance rarely felt in electronic music. 

"Sentience" is my love letter to This Binary Universe, featuring tracks directly inspired by the trademark sound of BT's album, yet viewed through the lens of my own unique style. It's an album I've wanted to do for a while, and I'm happy to see it finally come together.

Memoirs Of A Whale

More M1 practice. I ended up liking this better than the original! Unfortunately, I lost a lot of what I used to build said original, and as such, the intro is a touch janky.  Anyway this is ECO stuff, so if the lore interests you, read on, I guess. :V   
I wanted to do a better job of using this song to convey the landscape of Dascillia, as well as the type of place it is. Celestion is a place bathed in antiquity, but Dascillia is more modern. Telegraph lines and train tracks slice through the landscape, along with wagon trails and other signs of technology.  In some places, smoke from factories blocks out the sun. Farmland is scarce, but what fertile land there is, is covered in farms and ranches. Dascillia is a country at war, but it's so vast that away from the battlefield, all one can usually hear is the wind.

raw recording (a bit of noise at the beginning sry). Will probably add some baller onnanoko voice samples later for the odd transitions, as it was originally intended. 1x LSDJ with DMG-01

***ALL MY SONGS ARE HERE:*** https://yerzmyey.bandcamp.com/ !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I started to make chiptunes on ZX Spectrum computer, in 1989. ZX Spectrum 48K has 1-bit sound by default, but one can also connect an AY-interface to the machine (existing since its very beginning in 1982 and even earlier because first AY-interfaces have been built for ZX81 computer - 1981).

Anyway - then Spectrum48 has the same sound-abilities what Spectrum128, Amstrad CPC, Atari ST or MSX have (they use the same chip standard: AY/YM). It means 4-bit sound, 3 channels + white noise generator, square wave and several 'buzzers'. Or - instead of it - I can use 3 channels of 4-bit digital sound with the AY, but then I have to fit all samples in 48Kb of RAM. :)

In case of chip-music, as "standard capabilities" I understand AY/YM working in 50hz (Atari ST can use this chip with 200hz of speed which gives the Atarians better audio effects due to their more powerful CPU - 16-bit, 8MHz. Cry cry!!).
So that's my weapon of choice: ZX Spectrum 48K with AY-interface. 

For making chiptunes I use ZX Spectrum's Sound-Tracker 1.1 and for digital MOD-like music I use SampleTracker 2.0 and 2.1.

In 1994 I started to make music also for Amiga 500 (MOD / MED files) on OctaMED, but they were 4 channels traxx mostly - in 99%. :) We made only several 8 channels tracks on OctaMED but it was pretty hard task for old good A500, so usually I stick with 4ch. :)

In 2002 I founded AY-RIDERS band. We play chiptunes on our Spectrums (48K, 128K and higher models). AY-RIDERS' music can be found here: http://ay-riders.speccy.cz/ (My own music You can find here: http://yerzmyey.i-demo.pl/ ).

Some time later I started to make more music for Atari ST and STe (mostly digital, but also some chiptunes).
That's how the YM-DIGITAL band appeared in 2010: http://ym-digital.i-demo.pl/ - there are 2 albums for all enthusiasts of ym2149 chip and digital oldschool music.

In 2012 I bought an Amiga 1200 and was able to start making full 8-channels digital songs for the platform (with independent volumes). That's how the "RetroBeat" album appeared, for all fans of Amiga, and also for fans of retro-computer-music.

From time to time I make songs for Atari Falcon 030 (10 channels of digital music, on DHS-Tracker). 

In 2015 I bought a British microcomputer Raspberry Pi 2 (smaller than the human hand-palm :) ), and I make some music on it, too. 

So, in short, my software/hardware usually are: 
SoundTracker on ZX81;
E-Tracker on SAM Coupe computer (Spectrum Advanced Machine);
MusicMon on ATARI 520ST;
DigiComposer on ATARI 520ST;
ProTracker on ATARI 520 ST;
Hex-Tracker on ATARI 520ST;
Octalyser on ATARI 1040 STE;
OctaMED on AMIGA 500;
DigiBooster on AMIGA 1200;
Digital Home Studio (DHS-Tracker) on ATARI Falcon 030
MilkyTracker on Raspberry Pi
.............and many others............................
