Description

this is a song for kids. the inspiration came from a C64-demo with ten little happy knights.

this music was made on a commodore amiga 500, probably around 1992. (edit 13/10/2008: i managed to get my amiga going, so i'm able to get better recordings of these old tracks.) i also found out that this specific song was made using 6 tracks, or 3 left and 3 right. the samples introduced at around 2:10 (orchestra hit, harpsy chord and piano) are taken from a little casio keyboard bought at the tandy shop.

this music might not impress you but bear in mind, sound was only 4 hardware-mixed channels of 8-bit sound at up to 28 kHz.
i used this program that made it possible to double the tracks (4 left and 4 right), though the sound quality was cut in half. there were no sound effects algorythms whatsoever (not even echo) but just plain volume control. i had to play with the samples itself to try to get some flow in it and to cover up the lack of sound quality.

i hope you enjoy this. if so, you might want to listen to my other amiga-songs.

(composed on amiga 500 with oktalyzer v1.54 - some samples from a casio mt-640)
