Hi Everybody, Rave669 here.
Most of you likely don't know me, but I've been tracking for a long time, since about 1990 or so. I just joined ModArchive and have begun to submit some songs.
Anyways, I was wondering if anybody here might help. Here's a little background on myself.
around 1989, myself and a (dearly departed) friend of mine, Jon (aka MadMage) started coding demos under the banner of RYLO software; a lot of which were distributed through Midwestern dial-up BBSs back in the day. Graphics and sound fell into my lap.
Most of my tracks were done in Composer 669, but I've also worked with ScreamTracker3, Impulse Tracker and a few others.
now, I believe I still possess some of my old tracks on a disused Compaq laptop which I haven't booted up in a long time. I am going to see if I can recover some of them, those were some of my later projects. However, I may not be able to recover them, which is sad. I also have crates of archived files on CD and DVD, with any luck I have some backups. Other formats, such as floppies and Zipdisk (remember those?) are either unreadable or have gone missing.
MadMage passed away almost 15 years ago now; If he had any of them archived, they are lost; I've tried going to his family and friends, but haven't had any luck.
On the off chance anybody has any of my old song files, I would love to get them back again, if nothing else, I could archive them on Mod Archive for posterity.
I used to be pretty good about putting comments in my projects, even changing sample names where the format didn't support commenting. My handle was the same back then as it is now, Rave669. If I can find a list of old song titles to post up as well, I will do so.
Thanks in advance everyone
