C64 remixing continued

-
Today I spent another 3...4... (or was it 5?) hours remixing a C64 track and I've hit the world of freaky rythms as I can't get it to match up in the sequencer. If anyone of you reading this knows the ins and outs of music - please let me know what this rhythm is called and how to best set up beats and measures in sequencers to make it easy to work with :)

Imphenzia - C64 Remix

As you can hear, I want to keep the classic arpeggio chords in the background, old style but new... Maybe the remix will be finished during the week so I can post it on remix.kewd.org hopefully.

Tomorrow it's back to work unfortunately - my two weeks of holiday are up, argh.

    Heya,

    I came across your blog via a C64 google alert. I'm digging your remixes. They really stay truthful to the original vibe, but they have a adrenalized/higher fidelity feel.

    Good work! :D

Leaving The Outpost (Game Music)

-
It's tough to find time to make music these days, especially now that both my children are ill with eye infections and flu. Still, I managed to find a spare moment in the evening to compose this space inspired song. I decided to call the song "Leaving The Outpost" and I imagine a peaceful and relaxing space scene, maybe in an adventure, RTS, or MMORPG. The song features two sections. First a mellow melodic section with soft synth leads playing a beautiful melody and layers of filtered pads. The second part is more of an ambient soundscape with sweeping pads and scifi sounds. http://soundtrack.imphenzia.com/non-exclusive-music/leaving-the-outpost/ The track is available as a full length track (with a start and a finish) and a perfectly seamless loop. License it for your indie space game today =)

C64 remixing

-
Last night I spent a few hours starting to remix a classic old C64 SID-track to be released on remix.kwed.org which has turned out to be a good site for both constructive feedback and acting as a channel to promote Imphenzia as my last remix released there (The Fallen) has had around 3500 plays since February 2008. The remix I am working on now was originally driving me around the bend because the original has got an offbeat rhythm to it that I was determined to recreate before I add my remix twist to it, but I finally got it down... However... The sequencer doesn't quite line up the measures accordingly so it is difficult to arrange the track. Well see where it leads.
