about

This album is a 3-CD collection featuring 81 tracks which I composed in the period 1988-1995 approximately, for various video games, mostly on/for the Commodore Amiga computer.

Some of the music was composed using "tracker" format and 4 channels of 8-bit audio with stringent memory limitations (say, max 100 kb for the entire music track, including the samples).

Some of the music was composed with MIDI and synthesizers or outboard samplers; or even with a combination of tracker- and external MIDI synths (Remember OctaMED - a "tracker" with MIDI output) :-)

This album is a bit of a "mixed bag" and came about mostly because some people were writing to me and asking if I could send them the music to Spinjam, Cubulus, Fantastic Voyage, Siege of Avalon or some of the other old video games that I composed for. I thought it would be a good idea to collate the material into this collection and make it available.

"Ports of Call 2", "Fireteam", "Little Rubber Ninjas" and a few other games mentioned in the track listings were never actually completed and released. The games were in development and I composed some music for them, but for various reasons some of the games were canned and never made it to the shops.

Also included is the music track which I composed for Tobias Richter's entire Amiga-made video "Space Wars", which was popular in the Amiga freeware / shareware scene back in the day.

The "Qwak" music tracks were made using only 3 audio channels. The game needed the 4th channel for sound effects. :)

This album is a digital only release. No actual physical discs exist.
