ZX81 is a British monochrome computer as big as an adult man's hand-palm. It has touch-sense keyboard and 1Kb of RAM only and it's been released in 1981 (American version is Timex 1000 and Timex 1500). 
It had a modular construction, so people weren't forced to buy all the hardware in one machine, if they didn't need it. So - if anybody required additional RAM, he could buy 16Kb RamPack or more. 
If somebody needed sound - he was able to buy a ZonX sound-module (with YM/AY chip inside). 

Finally we decided it's not enough for us. ;) ;) ZonXes are still being produced by various guys. And now - one machine is interesting for our porpose: Mr-X, because it is a through-out device - more interfaces can be connected to it. So - we decided to connect two sound-modules to ZX81 (one of them is on different ports than another) to obtain 6 channels of sound. 
And... IT'S ALIVE!!!!!! ;) Yes - You can here listen to  6-channels music composed on real ZX81 32Kb with two YM/AY interfaces (ZXpand-AY and Mr-X). Also I recorded the music from real ZX81 hardware. 

To compose the songs I used Andy Rea's "ZX81 SoundTracker" (first I made one half of every song, then the second one, because the SoundTracker for ZX81 can support only one AY chip - 3 channels). 
Then I recorded them from the same ZX81 with ZXpand-AY and Mr-X modules (using TurboSound Player). 

Thanx go to Andy Rea for the software (ZX81 SoundTracker, TurboSound Player), also to ZX81 hardware developers: SirMorris (ZXpand and ZXpand-AY) and to Sascha2000 (Mr-X).

Yerzmyey - Break Space

This is the ingame soundtrack for "Heli in the Caves" - an Atari XL/XE game by H.A.R. The song is a 3-channel Pokey track as one channel was reserved for sound effects.

Metri (Atari XL/XE Pokey)

Track written to accompany the Choice Provisions game BIT.TRIP FLUX. I wanted to complement the game's theme and atmosphere, &amp; what came out was seven minutes of Game Boy space disco, sort of equal parts pensive, purposeful, and melodic.

Available as part of the BIT.TRIP FLUX Original Soundtrack digital album:

505 - 3886 Days (Logan Dataspirit Demo)

Before it was called "chiptune", we called it "music" because it was the way you made music on computers for games and demos. It wasn't a choice so much as a necessity due to limitations in 80s hardware.

Sure, soundtrackers using samples were starting to pop up but more so on the Commodore Amiga than the Atari ST, the latter not being able to do much else while its 8MHz CPU was tied up real-time mixing four channels of samples. (The Amiga had dedicated hardware.) At some point, we started calling it blip-blop to distinguish it from the growing sample tracker movement (and digidrum, which blended native YM2149 sounds with sampled drums as a performance/soundscape compromise).

This medley contains my five surviving blip-blop tunes from that era (when I went by 7an of Sync), as played back by the three-channel YM2149 sound chip. It heavily features the "envelope bass", a brutal beast of a sound that might be considered the Atari ST's most distinguishing one. It's a sound that was only invented toward the end of the ST's natural life. (You might say that the mighty 16-bit home computer is currently on extended life-support administered by a fanatic group of nostalgics, and I thank them for that.)

I did some mild mastering work on this medley and I think you'll enjoy the sound quality even (especially?) when you crank it up. You'll have to forgive the elementary melodies and chord progressions; I was 17 and couldn't write a hook to save my life. :)

Yerzmyey - Trip to Japan

This is a chiptune created on Atari ST using Maxymiser by gwEm. It actually consists of two songs with YM2149 channels mixed together after recording and is an experiment to test the sound performance of a YM2149 stereo synthesis device developed by Shazz/TRSI.

Restless Destroyer played on Atari 520 STe Tracker (2 occurences for multitracking) and recorded via Cinch output on tape, then transferred to MP3.
Samples on 3,5 floppy disks.

505 (Nils Feske)in 2017. New ym tunes for the winner demo of this year’s Sommerhack party.

505 – Execution Main Part (ym2149, 2017)

A Commodore 64 SID track made for the Razor 1911 demo '$777' released at the Revision demoparty in 2015. Mostly composed at the party place.

This is the party version, since there never became any final version, sadly enough. Who knows, maybe in the future... :)

Fantastic image by Made!

!Cube did a great job by remixing my tune "Outpost" on the Atari ST!
The soundchip of the Atari ST (YM2149F) can produce three voices of square waves and has one noise generator. !Cube also composed a few new leads and fine details into the tune. Awesome work!

What !Cube says about his remix:
"A remix of an awesome tune on the Commodore 64 by dEViLOCk/Arsenic. I stumbled into it accidentally while browsing through the High Voltage SID Collection and immediately fell in love. Thank you Peter for letting me remix it. The tune is included in my music demo Meet !Cube.
Editor: maxYMiser
Release date: SillyVenture 2012"
