Soundtrack Preview for Sturmwind
Recently, I put out a preview of the game soundtrack for Sturmwind on Soundcloud. Sturmwind is a spaceship shooter for the Sega Dreamcast developed by Duranik. This team came a long road from Atari ST, Falcon, Jaguar and Lynx (maybe you remember Impulse, Native Demo or Alpine Games). Now, after about six years of development this game is hopefully beeing released soon.

hYMns - Chiptune Album released on Pxl-Bot
Today the british netlabel Pxl-Bot put out a compilation of my Atari chiptunes. It contains ten pieces of YM-2149 chipmusic which were created on Atari ST/STE during the years 2000 and 2011 for different demoscene productions.
Some "tech" talk: early tunes were composed using the good old Sidsound Designer or Musicmon. The more recent tracks were primarily created within gwEms brilliant maxYMiser chocolate chip manufactory. Audio recording was performed with real hardware. You can hear a mix of different recording pathways, though. Atari STE was used for most songs with STE-specific elements. "Monitorout" turned out to provide best results here. Other songs were recorded from Atari Falcon 030, using the DSP-SPDIF option which has the advantage of lossless audio and the disadvantage of excluding the serious load of hardware noise and distortion, which can be regarded as a feature of these good old machines. Finally, some additional EQing was applied here and there.
The stunning cover art was created by Dan/Paradox, basing on original YM-2149 hardware sheets. Thank you for this splendid illustration of the compilation!
Ok, for now you can listen and download the album at Pxl-Bot or Bandcamp and read the full infotext here. I hope you enjoy the Pralines :)
