MY MUSIC HISTORYDate added: 20. 10. 2000 I like music very much. Not making it, but listening to it :). To be exact, I really made some tunes and after many years I considered to release them. When you'll listen to those "tunes", you'll sure agree that I'm not the musician :) On my defense I have to say that the tunes are very old and are for Amiga (all of them are in MOD format). In that times it was really harder to do music than today, but I know it doesn't excuse me :). What I like very much, is old-school music, especially on Amiga, C-64 and SNES. These tunes are stored in formats that are not very known, but fortunately today are most of them playable by WinAmp through several plugins. And the music is IMHO definitely worth of listening to and installing plugins. Laser 210I don't remember any music on this computer, I know that the only game I had was "beepy sounded" :). And I know that I really had fun from making music through beeper on this computer using the simple basic program with "DATA" and "BEEP" commands. I converted several favourites popular tunes from notes to Laser that time. ZX SpectrumLike Laser, Spectrum had one beeper, too. But software developers made miracles from PC Speaker. I remember that Tim Follin made 5 channels "digitized" music from this little buzzer! I knew I was looking crazy, but I played these Spectrum tunes through my tape player and made my parents and friends totally mad from these sounds (my mom wanted to kill me! :)) ). One casette has survived ten years, I sampled its tunes into MP3s and smashed to my Spectrum collection CD. C-64I never had this computer, but now I know what I was missing. It had much better music and games than Spectrum, but everything bad is good for something. Now I can play these games on emulator and listen the music through WinAmp in my work. And I can dream about the good old times by them :) Commodore AmigaIn the late 80s and early 90s without doubt the best computer music. Four sampled channels - that was something! Only disadvantage for now is that Amiga music has many various formats. Most famous is MOD format, but many nice musics were in other formats like TFMX, BP, MON etc. Some of them are playable in Winamp, some only "untimed" and some not. Very good site to download these tunes with many information is here. and for game tunes of course my World of Game Mods IBM PCIt has taken very long time when music of PC has overtaken quality of Amiga musics. Long time was the music last triumph that Amiga had comparing the PC. BUT - the tunes in these games are getting worse, too. Nice melodies are replaced by some athmospheric shits and that's not the way I like it. But it's only my opinion... SUPER NESGreat, really great music chip has done Nintendo in his console Super NES. The SPC files are really great class, although they can't reach the melody of Amiga and C64 tunes. But it's really great alternative to musics on PC, Amiga and C64 - because they came from mostly far east. SONY PLAYSTATIONOn Sony I saw different musics, too. Quality was better and some games had very nice, quality and origninal tunes. But, I can't help myself, maybe I don't like japan tunes, but they also can't reach Amiga and C64 in most cases. |
