madfiddler Posted December 31, 2012 Posted December 31, 2012 Hi All, After a 20 year break from chipmusic, I'm happy to announce the release of Reawakening. These are my first chiptunes since retiring from the ‘demoscene’ in 1993, having writen tracks for the likes of Anthrox and Melon Dezign, to focus on composing music for video games, such as Warhammer: Dark Omen, Duke Nukem: Total Meltdown, Populous: The Beginning and Dungeon Keeper 2. I decided in 2011 that the time was right to bring the name TDK out of retirement to create this album, utilising not only the tricks of the chiptune trade 20 years ago, but modern chiptune and music production techniques, whilst keeping in mind the channel restrictions of days gone by. Reawakening was written using 2 Commodore 64's with the MSSIAH cartridge, a Commodore Amiga 1200, Elektron SIDStation, ReFX QuadraSID and Plogue Chipsounds. http://marktdkknight.bandcamp.com/album/reawakening-3 Enjoy, and FLIT KILLS MOTHS m Quote

madfiddler Posted January 1, 2013 Author Posted January 1, 2013 Thanks guys. Yeah, DK2 was my last full game soundtrack, and one that I'm very proud of even though it did upset a lot of the original DK fans as being too modernised.... Quote
