I found some of my old music projects lying around in a backup folder of a previous harddrive.
This is from the good old days when I used ModPlug tracker and I was pretty amazed to find that the sound quality wasn't all that bad after all (given that most instruments use just one sample!)

This song is, like most of my material from that period (some years ago) unfinished, but I still think it sounded pretty cool with the theremin lead so I decided to put it up here.

The song is some sort of "retro-metal", featuring a synthesized pad, some ripped analogue effects and a pretty well-sounding theremin (!) which is pretty amazing that I got the pitch to sound sort of correct for in MP (which uses some rather odd pitching controls).

Tell me what you think

Edit: The ouput file is constrained to 56KBits/sec, unfortunately.

Thanks, I thought that the pad sort of "skreeches" over quite a lot of the other instruments (it's in the middle of the night here and I've been reading chemistry the last hours; can't think of any proper term) in some places due to the 56Kbit compression (it doesn't do this in the source file I found).

And yes, of course I still work with music; I just meant that I haven't used theese trackers in a long time.

This is a pretty cool track!

Try things that you normally wouldn't... you might find the answer.

Thanks NGXmusical.
Your work seems pretty ambitious too...

Here's another song I found - this one was actually composed for a DBPro game

rudolpho,

that's a very good track with the exception of the bass drum "triple heartbeat" running up to ~ 1:17. 1/2 the time it seems "out of time" with whatever else is going on. after that, everything sounds great. and, i do hear the retro swedish-metal influence in it good stuff.

Well, the heartbeat is actually just that - a heartbeat sound effect. It was never meant to be used for the rhytm, but apparently I didn't turn the sound off .
