| A_Groovy_Night.sid | | "Done with the Cyberlogic Sound Studio... made by me and Sascha/MDG!.
Sascha and I made it a night. Sleep, what's that? By that time, I had
figured out what number to add to the filter byte to get roughly the
same sound as with normal filters." (OK)
|
| Ancient_Property.sid | | "Done with the Cyberlogic Sound Studio... made by me and Sascha/MDG!.
One of my longest tunes -- and one of my best! The first part is
partly inspired by J.S.Bach and Jeroen Tel, the second part mostly by
Drax, being rather short (out of inspiration, just up'n'down the blues
scale). Uptonogood (don't remember the group, sorry) from Australia
used this music in his mag 'The Link'." (OK)
|
| Autumn_Beach.sid | | "Done with SoedeSoft's SoundMaster." (OK)
|
| Bachs_Domain.sid | | "Done with the Cyberlogic Sound Studio... made by me and Sascha/MDG!.
Inspired by J.S.Bach again, I composed this piece as another magsound
for 'Genetic Dreams' by Trinomic Boozeline. Willy/Presence favored
this piece a lot (he himself liking Bach, too). I chose the name with
a sidelook to Sascha's piece 'Drax' Domain'. This piece consists of a
few different parts which I just lined up one after another, as I was
unable to come up with some interludes." (OK)
|
| Back_To_The_Future_III.sid | | "Done with SoedeSoft's SoundMaster.
This is a remake of the title tune from the game. Hawk had asked me to
do it." (OK)
|
| Baroque_Parting.sid | | "This tunes had been composed with the full player in mind (an loaded
into the editor). That player uses a slight de-tuning for voice #2 and
#3 in order to achieve a fuller sound. In addition, the instruments
make use of pulse width modification.
For the 'zero page version' of this piece, I had cut down the player
to almost nothing in order to get a real short file with as little
raster time as possible. During that step, I removed the routine for
the pulse modification and increased the detuning of voice #2 and #3
instead, resulting in a slightly different (and slightly less nice)
sound." (OK)
|
| Baroque_Parting_Zero_Page.sid | | "Done with the Cyberlogic Sound Studio... made by me and Sascha/MDG!.
I wrote this piece to express my feelings about a freshly broken
relationship with my (former, sigh) girlfriend. As we just had
analyzed fugues in music class, I wrote a fugue (in c-minor) as well.
There is a zeropage version of this tune that saves even more
rastertime and memory." (OK)
|
| Bass_Fever.sid | | "Done with Chris Hülsbeck's Soundmonitor.
What a shame that I couldn't make a real FAT bassdrum!" (OK)
|
| Chips_In_Music.sid | | "Done with the Cyberlogic Sound Studio... made by me and Sascha/MDG!.
I originally had planned to write a techno tune (without too much
success, as you can hear). It's one of my personal favorites." (OK)
|
| Chords_Of_Endlessness.sid | | "Done with SoedeSoft's SoundMaster.
A magsound for the Alcoholics. I don't know if they actually used it."
(OK)
|
| Cool_Is_Fool.sid | | "Done with the Cyberlogic Sound Studio... made by me and Sascha/MDG!.
Out of inspiration for any new music, I was listening to some of my
old tunes and started to play around with the old 'Groovy Night'. The
result was this funny little thing. Listen to the portamento with the
arpeggio (the drop-down)!" (OK)
|
| Cowboy_Song_2.sid | | "Done with SoedeSoft's SoundMaster.
In the big band I played the trumpet in at that time, we used to play
'Cowboy Song' by Fred Lipsius. I couldn't exactly play it properly,
but I like it very much nevertheless. So I took its name for this tune
(which is the only thing these two pieces have in common)." (OK)
|
| Dancing_A-Head.sid | | "Done with the Cyberlogic Sound Studio... made by me and Sascha/MDG!.
A funny thing for Trance's diskmag 'A-Head', inspired by the music to
'Moons' by Drax." (OK)
|
| Dream_In_Space.sid | | "Done with Chris Hülsbeck's Soundmonitor.
Again a tune my trumpet teacher liked a lot! This tune was publically
performed (err... played from tape) at a performance of his trumpet
class I was a pupil in. I was very proud of the drums I had squeezed
out of little Soundmonitor." (OK)
|
| Eternal_Sadness.sid | | "Done with SoedeSoft's SoundMaster.
A schoolmate had asked me to arrange this traditional funeral march
for him. I did my best, but in the end he didn't really like the
result he came to hear. =:-(" (OK)
|
| Fuer_Claudia.sid | | "Done with Chris Hülsbeck's Soundmonitor.
I wrote this tune and the previous one on the same afternoon in order
to impress a girl from dancing class (without success, alas). But at
least it was fun discussing politics with her on the phone." (OK)
|
| Genetic_Jazz.sid | | "Done with the Cyberlogic Sound Studio... made by me and Sascha/MDG!.
I wrote this piece for Galen/Trinomic (Trinomic Boozeline) for his mag
'Genetic Dreams' (my favorite mag) as an apology: I had promised to do
a few conversions for their demo but didn't get them finished in time.
So they had to use non-exclusive music." (OK)
|
| Happy_Birthday.sid | | "Done with the Cyberlogic Sound Studio... made by me and Sascha/MDG!.
Just a another crappy conversion of this traditional birthday song.
Too many wrong chords." (OK)
|
| Happy_Cadaver.sid | | "Done with Chris Hülsbeck's Soundmonitor.
A play on words with the German word for Corpus Christi Day
('Fronleichnam')." (OK)
|
| Henry_Level_1.sid | | "Done with the Cyberlogic Sound Studio... made by me and Sascha/MDG!."
(OK)
|
| Jingle_from_Lenor_advert.sid | | "Done with Future Composer II.
I didn't like this editor at all (and didn't understand it in full,
either). An acquaintance from the scene (Doc Holliday or someone from
Presence ) asked me to convert this music from the 'Lenor' TV ad to
C64." (OK)
|
| Laser_Beat.sid | | "Done with Chris Hülsbeck's Soundmonitor." (OK)
|
| Lax_Up.sid | | "Done with the Cyberlogic Sound Studio... made by me and Sascha/MDG!.
Inspired by some tune by Laxity (and with some of its instruments,
ripped by hand). In English, the 'Lax' Up' is pronounced exactly the
same as the German translation of 'lick it off' (leck's ab). =:-> "
(OK)
|
| Load_The_Power.sid | | "Done with SoedeSoft's SoundMaster.
Hawk/Presence once asked me to compose a short tune for a loader. As
far as I know, this music has never been used with a loader, though."
(OK)
|
| Lords_of_Synthesis.sid | | "Done with my first own music player.
Having read about the great features of Soundmonitor, I got fed up
with the limits of The Music System (TMS) and the music commands from
BASIC V7.0. So I wrote my own soundplayer. That thing ate memory and
rastertime like I drink tea and used a notation similar to the BASIC
commands. But -- it worked and had cool *filters*! I planned to use it
in a Snake-like game I was coding (Crowding Crawlers), but the game
made heavy use of raster interrupts and color effects and thus would
not work with the music (rastertime ranging from $03 to $80 or so...).
I never finished the game anyway. But my trumpet teacher liked the
tune _very_ much! =:-> " (OK)
|
| Lunatic_Trashcan.sid | | "Done with SoedeSoft's SoundMaster." (OK)
|
| Mega_Put.sid | | "Done with Oliver Blasnik's Romuzak." (OK)
|
| Melt_Your_Brain.sid | | "Done with the Cyberlogic Sound Studio... made by me and Sascha/MDG!.
A 4-time techno tune (my best one of this kind so far) which I wrote
together with a good friend of mine, Ingo Meyer. While we were
composing, the speaker box fell off the shelf due to one extremely
loud bass-kick (no kidding!). This piece contributed to the music
competition at the Data-Live '93 in Dessau, winning the 2nd place.
Possibly it would have made the 1st if they had had good big speakers
instead of that tiny thing in their video beamer! =:-( " (OK)
Also used in the game "Orb", (c) 1994 Magic Disk 64/CP-Verlag.
|
| Mothers_Little_Arpeggio.sid | | "Done with Oliver Blasnik's Romuzak.
I came up with the name as my mother didn't like the sound of the
arpeggios at all." (OK)
|
| Musical_News.sid | | "Done with SoedeSoft's SoundMaster.
Asterix/Victory had asked me to convert the jingle from the German TV
news 'Tagesschau' for the intro to his diskmag. (In this intro, you
could see a TV news announcer.) Sascha/DOS/MDG liked this tune very
much and said to me, grinning: 'I think you've listened to Maniacs of
Noise far too much!'" (OK)
|
| Nameless_Horror.sid | | "Done with SoedeSoft's SoundMaster.
What a horror: I couldn't think of any sensible name for this piece of
music!" (OK)
|
| Oedipus.sid | | "Done with Chris Hülsbeck's Soundmonitor." (OK)
|
| Peaceful_Beauty.sid | | "Done with Oliver Blasnik's Romuzak.
I wrote this tune and the previous one for Presence, both on the same
weekend (I obviously felt that I had to become a little more active)."
(OK)
|
| Pocket_Funk.sid | | "Done with the Cyberlogic Sound Studio... made by me and Sascha/MDG!.
I merely composed this piece to show that with a special version of my
CSS player, it is possible to achieve low rastertime of about $10
(like Music Assembler/Voicetracker, JCH Player V19 or A.K.'s player)."
(OK)
|
| Raped_SID.sid | | "Done with Oliver Blasnik's Romuzak.
A guy from Red Sector Inc. asked me to compose a lame-sounding cool
tune (whatever he might exactly have thought of) for an intro of their
second group, Ultimate (the section for crap releases)." (OK)
|
| Rhythm_Of_Life.sid | | "Done with Chris Hülsbeck's Soundmonitor." (OK)
|
| Rock_Around_The_Block.sid | | "Done with Chris Hülsbeck's Soundmonitor.
Again a (rather obvious) play on words. At that time, I used to write
either Rock'n'Roll style tunes or the usual 'cool' style sidtunes with
mainly minor scales." (OK)
|
| Rumour_Land.sid | | "Done with the Cyberlogic Sound Studio... made by me and Sascha/MDG!.
This piece was composed at the Data Live '93 for the party report by
TRL Designs ('The Real Lunatic'). I had a very nasty back-ache after
the piece was finished." (OK)
|
| Session_Tune.sid | | "Done with SoedeSoft's SoundMaster.
I composed this piece at the Security group Meeting in December 1991
in Mannheim. Security (Demons of Sound [DOS] being part of it) was my
second group at that time. With this tune, I started a new approach to
composing on the C64, very much Vibrants-like: start with a groovy
bassline and write the lead voice last, using a lot of blues scale."
(OK)
|
| Sonlasarka_Dunti.sid | | "Done with SoedeSoft's SoundMaster.
This name was supposed to sound Hungarian. My trumpet teacher (who is
Hungarian) knew better, though. But he liked that tune a lot. I
composed it for Asterix/Victory as a music for his diskmag." (OK)
|
| Trance_Introzak.sid | | "Done with the Cyberlogic Sound Studio... made by me and Sascha/MDG!.
Rather out of inspiration...just a little music for the intro by
Trance." (OK)
|
| Underground-Rock.sid | | "Done with the Cyberlogic Sound Studio... made by me and Sascha/MDG!.
The first tune to be packed with the packer of the CSS! It wrote it
for the addymag 'Underground' by Presence." (OK)
|
| Uranium_Dioxide.sid | | "Done with the Cyberlogic Sound Studio... made by me and Sascha/MDG!.
My first finished attempt to write some techno. I love these harmless
intros that are composed in an entirely different style than the rest
of the piece! At the time I composed this piece, we had just learned
how to write 3- and 4-voiced choir arrangements at school. For
X-Radical of Nirvana." (OK)
|
| Vagabonds_Groove.sid | | "Done with the Cyberlogic Sound Studio... made by me and Sascha/MDG!.
Ok, ok, this tune _is_ heavily inspired by the first music from Dutch
Breeze, composed by Jeroen Tel. I even hand-ripped the snare drum and
the bass sound from that piece. Anyway, I wrote this tune for
Tardox/Vagabonds (now a member of Smash Designs) for his demo, a
contribution to a demo competition by the magazine '64'er'." (OK)
|
| Wind_of_Change.sid | | "Done with the Cyberlogic Sound Studio... made by me and Sascha/MDG!.
Doc Holliday/Techno Ind. had asked me to do a conversion of this song
(by The Scorpions) for a coop-demo against racism." (OK)
|
| Winter_from_Four_Seasons.sid | | "Winter" from "The Four Seasons" by Vivaldi. "Done with the Cyberlogic
Sound Studio... made by me and Sascha/MDG!. A conversion of 'The
Winter' from Vivaldi's 'Four Seasons', which I ported to the C64 for
Domino/Security, an old friend on mine." (OK)
