Description

this track isn't great... actually too long and repetitive, but i still want to share some details. e.g. the bass-sound wasn't originally a long sample, but i repeated the waveform at the end to make it longer. i still use this technique, but nowadays i do it just by looping the end of the sample. another trick to get some more stereo-feel was to play copies of the same sample left and right, but to add a fraction of silence before one of those... you can definitely hear it in the basskick.

this music was made on a commodore amiga 500, probably around 1995.

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)
