Chiptune tracker music I made in the 90s (1 Hour of Fasttracker 2, 1996-99)
As a teenager I went to several demo-scene parties and was a member of music groups.
I call these chip-tunes because the files are usually less than 64kb in size but they don’t sound very bubbly or lo-fi like synthesized chip-tunes you may know from the SID, Gameboy, NES or OPL3. All samples are in 8Bit.
I also did not use lots of arpeggios. The samples are often short and randomly hand-drawn segments which can sound quit harsh in retrospect.
I applied some EQ and stereo width to combat the harshness but I could not avoid it completely.
I hope the harshness does not put you off because I find the compositions are worth listening to nevertheless.
I actually almost cried when I listened to these for the first time in 25 years.
I stuck to more breakbeat- and sound designy music making after this phase but I remembered how sweet melodic stuff can be.
I never learned music theory and made everything by trial and error, finding interesting chords and stuff.
This made me miss my youth times and the demo-scene. Everything was so exciting back then, the demo-scene, CD-Rom, the internet, 3D graphics, MP3, DVD, Voodo Graphics, games, trackers, flat-screens were things which came into existence.
I hope this is decent background music to listen to.
