Rescued stuff from my Amiga period (1987-1994)

[Scyphe]

Amazingly I found an old cassette that had a bunch of my modules recorded. I can't fathom why I'd record old amiga modules to a cassette but damn it was fun listening to some of it. I have a plan to buy an Amiga 1200 and use a network card to transfer all my old Amiga diskettes to the PC (hopefully they're not all ruined after all these years). I saved all my modules, ST-disks (instruments), source codes, graphics that I've made etc. In those days I used to call myself Modesty, something that have caused plenty of mistakes. I didn't take it after the cartoon character Modesty Blaise, I took it because of the irony behind the word. Modesty isn't something that was common among young demo makers, musicians etc. on the Amiga, and I figured it was a cool nick.

Until I can fix an A1200 I figured I'd let you people listen to some of my modules. I'll be adding them one and one. The quality of the cassette wasn't good at all, a lot of hissing and stuff which I tried to remove with a noise filter as well as possible, but it is what it is.

First out is my remix/cover of Rob Hubbard's Master of Magic (probably pro-tracker)

No idea what the name of this one is...

Same here, and it seems to be just two looped patterns...

Doesn't seem finished to me. Probably just a test.

I have a slight memory of this short snippet. I had sampled stuff from some Tangerine Dream album. Halfway into the track someone connects to my BBS which causes a *pling* sound to interrupt as well as enable the noise filter on the Amiga... Oh well..

Apparently I was inspired by the piano sound in this short one...

This one had some cool stuff going on...

We all know how difficult it was to get distorted guitars work on the Amiga. I don't think I made any progress either

One of my few chipsongs that I made..

Another one of my few chipsongs that I made.. This one is quite cool (except for a rather sharp instrument used).

Whistle and ballad.. Or something..

I seem to have been into very short piano rock things at the time... :S

Hmm, I like this one. Short though.

I do have access to a few of my modules that I'll make available later.
