A collection of ambient tracks, composed with Impulse Tracker, running on a Pentium 266 Mhz. Very much influenced by Brian Eno and Harold Budd, and I thought it would be interesting to explore if I could do something similar using only super cheap toy keyboards, sampled and tracked on old PC hardware. 


Tracks use mostly samples from Casio SA21 and Yamaha Portasound PSS280. I also sampled a few patches from my Reface DX, and imported some data files from my DOS disk. Since the music is written on old DOS software on ancient hardware there isn't any real digital effects used at all, delay effects are manually tracked duplicates of pattern data or manipulated volume data on looping samples.

released August 17, 2018

 

It's the same guy who makes the cool retro/future/post-invasion art (below). Really enjoying this album. Reminiscent of Carsten Nicolai's more haunting moments.
