 | "Bärnsten" (Swedish for "amber") is the result of an experiment I made a couple
of years ago. I created some sounds on the C64, sampled them using an 8-bit
sampler, and mixed them with some drum loops using a multi-channel tracker on
the Amiga. Read more. Posted in ancient times, 1 comment. |
 | This piece, Shchedryk, was written by Ukrainan
composer Mykola Leontovych in 1916, as an assignment for a harmony course. The
ostinato is an ancient new year's chant. Peter Wilhousky wrote the English
lyrics in 1936, transforming the song into a Christmas carol. Read more. Posted Sunday 19-Dec-2010 18:01, 4 comments. |

song here instead. Read more. Posted Tuesday 2-Jan-2007 13:55, 0 comments. |
 | Fratres by Arvo Pärt is one of my favourite
pieces of music. The analytical meets the aesthetical as Pärt takes us on a
meditative, harmonical journey, built up from a simple set of mathematical
rules. Read more. Posted Monday 3-Dec-2007 06:52, 38 comments. |

1st place. Read more. Posted Sunday 19-Jul-2009 17:47, 12 comments. |
 | It struck me that, at least in theory, organ pipes should generate quite
primitive sound waves. If so, how come a church organ doesn't sound like a
chip tune, which is also built up from simple waveforms? Well, actually
it will, if you remove the church. And if you connect a
Commodore 64 home computer to a loudspeaker in a large hall, it will
sound like an organ. Read more. Posted Saturday 10-May-2008 07:27, 22 comments. |

 | In an attempt to squeeze as much emotion as possible
into a tiny chip, I managed to fit Camille Saint-Saëns' The Swan into
480 (out of 1024) bytes of ROM on an ATtiny15. The microcontroller runs at

 | Normally, when you create a chiptune, you start with an
existing chip (such as the SID chip or
the YM2149) and write a tune for it. We decided to start from scratch, and
create a chip and a tune. Read more. Posted Saturday 30-Jun-2007 11:04, 72 comments. |
 | One of Rob Hubbard's earliest tunes. The slide effects

Tralleman-låten gjordes inför nollningen 2003, när vi ännu låtsades att vi
