Retrospect by TDK
Hey Everyone,
So... after an 8 year wait, the other eye is finally released.
Some of you will have heard some of these tracks before, as the concept of the album was to revisit tracks I've given away to other projects in the past... but you won't have heard them quite like this.
Funnily enough, the most recently completed track, Space Duregungle, which was created as a demo tune for Mike Clark's inSIDious soft synth emulation of the C64 SID chip is also the oldest track on the album having been writen in 1996 with a Kurzweil K2000 synth. Space Duregungle? Well, the track is spacey, and has elements of Dub, Reggae and Jungle in it :D
As with most of my music, this album was a labour of love. I love writing music as much now as I did as that 17 year old teenager who used to wait at the local park for his Mum to go to work so he could go back home to write those quirky little chiptunes. One of which, Maintheme 2, is retrospectively recreated on this album.
A few shout outs to Hedy, Arda, Leila, Slug, Mum, Colette, Shaun and Claire Moore, David Lewis, Mark Porter, Ian Chard, Heather Cowl, and the kind and tolerant people found in the chiptune scene.
This album was 100% written with Steinberg Cubase, using C64 MSSIAH, A1200, Impact Soundworks inSIDious, Plogue Chipsounds, Arturia Spark, Rob Papen Albino 3 amd Native Instruments Kontakt.
As a self employed composer and sound designer, I want to thank everyone who supports me by purchasing this album. Thank you for helping let me be me!!!
FLIT KILLS MOTHS!
