Story

Back in the late 80's and early 90's I started composing and making music with Rock Monitor 3, Protracker and Fasttracker on the Commodore 64 and Amiga homecomputers. It was in the haydays of sampling when we had but 4 tracks available and had to hands-on program all sounds, melodies and such. If you had a big fat wallet you could ofcoarse have bought a Fairlight CMI or a Synclavier, but most of us weren't that fortunate most likely… So it was more programming/coding than hands-on composing and recording we can do nowadays with modern DAW's. There was/is a vivid demoscene which brought out numerous timeless and epic tunes. One of those really stood out for me. It was Guitar Slinger made by Norwegian, Jogeir Liljedahl. His music has such a human and organic feel you could hardly hear it was 'coded' in a program. In honour of his legacy I decided to do this remake of what I think is one of Jogeir's finest, and I can only hope I did him proud… Please enjoy the Armandox-version of Guitar Slinger 😊

 

Keep on making good music, spread the love!

Relaxed ending, and very memorable and reminiscent beginning of that real Slinger module I lived with for a long time.

I bought an Amiga to listen GuitarSlinger and play in SuperFrog. It was a long time ago…
