Title: Chapter 2 Filename: chapt2.xm |

I am the composer of this piece. The nice words given for this of course warm me. The composition is my own, but the samples were all ripped from someone else, I think it is in the sample names/details. Say hello to copyrights in the -90s, also the scene. Musical stuff, listening to this later on, seems I never paid any attention to anything else than the solo guitar. Such thing would never fly today. Tracking stuff, going from 4 channels to 12 was big for me, even left 2 of them out just because I couldn't think of stuff to put on those channels. Expanded my drums to 4 channels instead of one though. This is one of my pieces I'd rather not hear, only because it is repetitive in patterns, and also musically. |

I am the composer of this piece. Almost 20 years has passed, and I have to admit, nearly all of the samples were ripped without any thought of copyright. But that was the practice back then. About the piece, I was hoping to create a musical piece fusing my love for metal and a touch of techno at the time. Shit like this became very popular as you all know. About the technical tracking stuff, the never-ending background sample wasn't supposed to be that intrusive, I did not hear it as loud as it is here with my -90s puter. Some of you may notice even the musical creativity is nearly non-existant, but sounds OK, right? Anyhow, it is absolutely wonderful to see mine, and anybody elses creations like this still survive on the internet, even though the authors will face palm all day. I know I do to some other material I've done, but not this one. |

Title: Unimusa
Filename: unimusa.xm
Rated 10 / 10
The idea was to compose something that would help _me_ sleep. This was supposed to be a strictly personal piece. Unimusa to english translates as sleep music.
Musical stuff. As I said, I wanted this to make me just fall asleep, no intricate melodies to keep me awake, and suddenly there's the guitar background.. Not to mention the awful crashes in the most horrible places, which I have since revised and removed.
Tracking stuff. Technically I spent quite a lot of time on this. 12 channels I believe, and every one of those needed to be volume controlled carefully. I restrained my love for solo guitar and just amped up the strings. Also, back then these files had to be small, anything over 500k was huge, so no high quality samples.
Overall, I'm fairly happy with this piece. At least it made me look hard at the limitations of a tracker compared to strict sheet music, as heard at 2.25.
