|
| Amiga_Noid.sid | | "From my last demo of the same name. I was tired of not being able to
create some decent drums in Soundmon, I was tired of my C64 and
generally this can be heard in the tune. Again I try to make some
melody with my 'synth' violin to compensate for the lack of rhythm."

| Amiga_Noid_Intro.sid | | |
| Apolloguys.sid | | "One of my personal favourites, despite the fact that I used it in an
apology demo to Zetrex 2005. My good friends Wizz & Kaze demanded me
to do this demo in order to stop the war. To compensate for my loss of
face, I filled the screen with my name in sprites, dancing around so
that you only would remember 2 things after having seen the demo: the
music and the name RAMBONES. :) What a hoax, Kaze got his software
from me, and me and TSN visited Wizz every weekend. There's some
really nice filter in this one, so try a C64." (JH)

to try. I completely forgot the characteristic drums from the

| Broken_Mind.sid | | "One of my S.I.D. tunes. S.I.D. was my attempt to conquer the
softwarehouse like Jeroen and Charles. I did this while learning how
to use my Amiga." (JH)
|
| Crying_Out.sid | | |
| Digital_Dream.sid | | "Not really a melody, just some of the COOLEST filtereffects you'd
ever hear. Used for a short contact note. Do try this on a C64." (JH)
|
| Do_The_Mip.sid | | "Ha, the joke of my life! Charles Deenen sought musicians who used
soundmonitor and were into coding. That was me, so I sent him this
tune, nicely wrapped in an intro. That didn't help any :) By that time
Noisy Pillars was far over most people's heads anyway." (JH)
|
| Dont_Be_Late.sid | | "For what ? Well, the Amiga had given me a 'pop' in the head. This is
actually a song, but I can't find my text anymore.. damn.." (JH)

|
| Duke_Doom.sid | | |
| Fairytales.sid | | "Another favourite of mine. This was my attempt to imitate some of Tim
Follin's style. I didn't succeed at that, but I got a wild melody,
sort of telling a story - that's why the lead is so variable. Actually
most of my C64 music has an always developing lead, like there's
endless things to tell." (JH)
|
| First_Rockmon.sid | | "Just like it says.. my first Rockmon tune. Now I finally had some
decent drums, leaving a channel free for more effects. The drums plays
exactly what I could play live on a real drumset :)" (JH)

|
| Freeze_On.sid | | "I really wanted to kick the shit out of the drums, but instead I
fucked it up by getting to melodious. It get's pretty wild at the end,
overdrive saw and strange sounds. At 3:30 there's some action." (JH)

| Guitar_Flan.sid | | "Get this over into your C64 now! :) I thought that Tim Follin's
guitar in Led Storm was too good, and wondered how the hell he did it.
So, after working for hours, I found some good sounds and was lucky
with the filter. This guitar really sounds like a distorted guitar!
and no samples." (JH)
|
| Heli_Jagd.sid | | |
| I_Like_Choroid.sid | | "That's exactly what I did, and I still do. He made some cool sounds,
and of course I ripped them. I originally put Martin Galway's 'Game
Over' drums on this tune, but I couldn't convert the sampleroutine,
and now I don't care, course it was quite noisy anyway. :-)
Just to remind you, try looking in your /Dunn_Jonathan/ dir - and load
'Choroid's Back!'." (JH)
|
| Indian_Walk.sid | | "My 2nd or 3rd tune. It's supposed to sound like it's called :) really
CRAZY sounds, and I like it! It was missing for several years, because
the disk was broken, but then I found Hagar's old disks, and he had it
:) Uoh I like these crazy sounds. C64 preferred." (JH)
|
| Intrusic.sid | | "Means: intro-music. :) Not even a melody, just some tap-dancing."
(JH)
|
| Jarre_Dreams.sid | | "Well, not much Jarre here, but that's the way it goes... This is a
typical 'rambones' synth violin yawn yawn long melody. The (in)famous
sound I refer to was originally ripped from MAD'69 's 'Mixable' demo
from Scoop. I got stuck with this sound, probably because I played the
violin for real, and I just couldn't shake it off. :) Again, I
compensated in the demo, by splatting my name all over the screen."

| Like_Galway.sid | | "Many have tried, and tried, to imitate Martin's wonderful phasing and
trance sounds, and we have all failed miserably. :) Anyway, this is
one of my favourites also, It simply has a bit of atmosphere, maybe
even a touch of Wizball (which was the general idea). This really
needs filter! At this point, I had splatted my name all over so many
demos, that people began to think there was a group called 'The
rambones'... I had to write a looong scrolltext, with this music in
the background, slaying the 'lamers'. :)" (JH)
|
| Maybe_Its_Final.sid | | "I was referring to the fact that my Amiga demanded more and more of
me. So I forgot the melody... The tune sounds sad.." (JH)
|
| Mixed_Emotions.sid | | "That's exactly what my emotions were as I used this tune in my last
demo, on the last screen. It was the Dexion-party in 1988. I had
released 'Apolloguys' the same day, and I had bought my Amiga 500 only
2 weeks before coming to this party. The first screen featured 'Like
Galway', and me writing a lot of text about who and what 'rambones'
was. The middle screen was the 'Amiga Noid' screen, with a small
picture of an Amiga, and a scroll telling that TST would soon rule it.
The last one, with this music, was a 10 point list of things about the
C64 that bored the hell out of me. Things like colorbars, sprites
moving in sinus, Hubbard alike drums/routines, all with the same sound
and generally everything that was in at that time. For me it was sad
to see a large variety of composers using more or less the same
routine, leaving the music in a grey state. I admire the sound of Fred
Gray, Martin Galway, Rob Hubbard, David Whittaker, Ben Daglish and
Antony Crowther, and any other programmer that built it all up from
scratch." (JH)

| Multiple_Dreams.sid | | "The seed had been planted. After releasing my first music-dedicated
demo, I had so many new dreams and desires, because now I had finally
made some music, all by myself. That's kind of the reason for the
title of this." (JH)

|
| Nu_er_den_sgu_helt_gal.sid | | "I just wanted to see if I could make a special kind of music that we
call 'suppe steg og is' here in Denmark. The kind of music you hear at
family parties, weddings etc. I used it in a special note/greeting
demo for my contacts, and wrote that it was a Galway tune.. :)" (JH)

|
| Oceanic.sid | | "This needs filter! (C64)... As I saw that Jonathan Dunn continued to
make music for Ocean, I thought that maybe I had a chance also, so I
sent this tune to the company. I never got a reply. :) well, I didn't
really care anyway because I now was using Soundtracker every day, all
day long. My newfound inspiration: SLL .. :) After having made my
first few Soundtracker-modules, I sent a demo with some musics and a
picture to Hewson. They replied: your music is quite good, but we
cannot accept you as a graphics-artist, the picture lacks all kind of
inspiration. Arrrghh.... Their music in their games sucked bigtime
back then... This is the last tune that I made in 1988." (JH)
|
| Ode_To_Banana_V1.sid | | "Everybody old enough knows the 'Ode To Martin' by MC/Dutch USA-Team.
One of my good contacts, and a very musical one to was Banana/The
Electronic Knights. He had already made more than 30 tunes when I
first laid my hands on Soundmon. I didn't know at all how to use this
program, but I could hear from Chris' and Banana's music that it
definately was the way to go. So I asked Banana for some help. He sent
me about 10 handwritten pages, how to type in this bass and use
the program. So, it was my FIRST tune ever!" (JH)
|
| Ode_To_Banana_V2.sid | | "This is much better, I'd even say good. :) The sounds are Banana's
'Rammax' sounds. Nothing much to say. I love this tune, hope you do
to." (JH)
|
| Ode_To_Laxity.sid | | "Well, I met Laxity the first time when he visited Wizz, to code some
demos. He was very into using Rob's routine, and slowly doing his own
player. In a transition period he had doing this, he tried
Soundmonitor, and, not to my surprise, of course he was much better
than I. So, what do you do ? Of course, another 'Ode to...' :) I kinda
like this, as did he, but there's hardly any bass in it, because I try
(again) to make some drums.,, One more thing: the sounds were made by
Laxity. :)" (JH)
|
| Rabies.sid | | This tune was first released in "Album of the Year".
"It is the first tune that I did after 10 years (1988-1998)" (JH)

|
| Resolute.sid | | "We are in the final chapter of my C64 days. I was composing / drawing
/ programming / writing, all alone on my final demo: Zound Muzak #4.
I had just learned FLD, 8-9 months after everybody else, but at least
I didn't just rip it. I started on several tunes at the same time, to
try and get them all to sound as they came from one whole, like Mike
Oldfield does. This was the first one, but I never finished ZM4, I was
too bored after all." (JH)
|
| Rocker_Bocker.sid | | |
| Sad_and_Bad.sid | | "It got its name after the final save. :) A bended bass does some
funny work, but that's about it." (JH)
|
| Satellite.sid | | "Used in the first of our 2 Satellite demos, this is a genuine piece
of early techno style. Not much melody, instead some pumping drums."
(JH)
|
| Scary_Dreams.sid | | "Nothing scary here. I think it got the name because of the
atmosphere. Do go to a C64 with this! The main force in this tune is
that I use all 3 voices for melody and no stupid drums. It almost
sounds as if I designed the tune? No I didn't, almost anything just
came out by itself." (JH)
|
| Scary_Stuff.sid | | |
| Shadows_in_Pain.sid | | "The bassline was supposed to set a frame for some sixties style, but
listen what happens later... :) No no, I think this is just a 10 min.
worksong." (JH)
|
| Sound_Shocker.sid | | "A quite quiet and slow tune. this NEEDS filter (C64)!! The sounds and
the quiet melody is what this is all about. I made it at a visit to
one of my friends, trying to teach him about using Soundmon. It was
made in about half an hour, then I had to go on to another friend.
I was so busy, driving around on my moped, dumping demos/games, and
then on to the next. Finally, every evening, I would end up at TSN's
place, and our democoding-session could begin, and last until it was
time to go to school... :)" (JH)
|
| Space_Alien.sid | | "A crazy tune! Used in another WAR demo. :) First screen of 'Who Said
War ???'. Remember ? The scroll where I slagged Laxity as hard as I
could, even though I love him for his wonderful music." (JH)
|
| Still_Rolling_2.sid | | |
| Sunshine.sid | | "Hmmm.. another drum-experiment perhaps... This isn't finished. It's
hardly a melody. :)" (JH)
|
| Techno_Suxx.sid | | |
| To_A_Z_er.sid | | "I made this for one of my favourite contacts: Wallie/Z-Circle. He was
one of the few who openly said that he liked my tunes, so I made this
for him. It could have been better. There's some kind of 'View To a
Kill' theme, over this whole thing... (hint)" (JH)
|
| Trance.sid | | |
| Trombones.sid | | "Well, a typical 'rambones' tune. It has some great waves and echos,
and one more thing: after 1:10 in comes the trombone - it sounds just
like a real one, and no samples. A wonderful coincidence made by the
workings of Soundmonitor. Again, the 'Mixable' sound is here." (JH)
|
| Unbeliever.sid | | "Just trying to make some long smooth, dark sounds. There's something
'Rolling' here. :) Or should I say 'Still Rolling'... Hehe, not much
of a melody." (JH)
|
| Vendetta.sid | | "From the demo where I taught Kaze how to rip 'Rainbow Dragon'. It's
one of those '1 melody in each channel' songs." (JH)
|
| When_A_Master.sid | | "Needs filter (C64). Has a nice rhythm and some great deep sounds. If
only I could have made a more variable bass... But, you learn as you
go along. :)" (JH)
|
| Who_Said_War.sid | | "Undefinable 'rambones' style. Heh... In this demo I totally slagged
Kaze for being a lousy composer, because he was. Then one day, he made
'The Force' and his 'New Limits' introtune. Sad that he put that tune
on an empty screen, when everybody wanted to see the next, the
unbelievable fullscreen sideborder-scroll with rasters and
music+samples. Go to /VARIOUS/G-L/Kaze/ to listen his tunes." (JH)

|
| Z-Force.sid | | "I made this tune for my contact Wallie/The Z-Circle in Finland, and
they used it in a demo. I had a habit of not saving my music that was
used in demos, so I lost the tune already in 1988. Then one day in
1998 when I was watching some old demos, suddenly there was my tune
in a demo from The Z-Circle, and I instantly remembered it! (and
ripped it) :-)" (JH)
|
| Zound_Muzak_1.sid | | "My first 'music only' dedicated demo. Banana had his IBM Music, and I
wanted my own series. This was it. I made this in a few hours, and had
to stop myself. I couldn't stop playing! Because I had just discovered
the 'record' function in Soundmon. It stayed with me for the rest of
the C64 days; I played the lead in on my brown keyboard." (JH)
|
| Zound_Muzak_2-Part_1.sid | | "Another version of 'Sound Shocker'. Better with filter, much better."
(JH)
|
| Zound_Muzak_2-Part_2.sid | | "It's reverse! - was its first name. Listen and hear why. :) One of my
favourites. At the time I made this, it was the happiest time of all.
Playing Delta every day, for one purpose and one purpose only: the
music! Sure we had ripped it, but it just wasn't the same, it never
will be. Come back Rob!..." (JH)
|
| Zound_Muzak_3.sid | | "Maybe my finest piece. 3 tunes in one module. 2 of them with
Rockmonitor drums. The tunes somehow fit well together, because they
use the same sounds. Notice I learned some more bass here. :) And
banging those drums! The drums in the last tune were kind of snatched
from a Matt Gray tune... hehe" (JH)
