Greetings
and welcome to my profile.

I compose modules in MOD and IT formats.



Here is a history of my interest in modules.

I heard first module in my life in 2004. At that time I did not know that this type of music is called "tracker" or so, I just liked listening to it. Since then, I became interested in this kind of music.

From 2004 to 2013, I listened to modules occasionally, yet with no idea of how they are properly called.

In 2013, I discovered a website that had (and still has) a thematic collection of tracker modules. It gave me answers to most of my questions about my favourite (from that moment) kind of music and it instantly became my main source of tracker music for the next couple of years. I also started listening to modules on a regular basis that year.

Two years later, in 2015, I finally got to TMA and, without hesitation, started collecting modules for my own collection, which has 58,000+ modules as of 20th March 2023.

Composing own modules since 22nd August 2016.

Member of TMA since 27th November 2016.

In 2019, I decided to conduct an experiment, the purpose of which was to find out the answer to just one question: is it possible to make 100 modules within 30 days, if each of them should be no shorter than 1 minute and have distinctive features from the rest? In 29 days I answered my own question: yes, it is possible. The result of this experiment is the Dog series, my ultimate dedication to the oldest sample disk for music trackers – 100 modules composed in MOD format, duration is within 01:01 – 01:59 for each one, and all of them, for simplicity of the experiment, were based on the (in)famous ST-01 sample disk samples. The series was done in 29 days – from 4th August 2019 to 1st September 2019, and I consider it as my personal achievement – this is the only reason why I am writing about it here and why I decided to publish it on TMA. Today, all 100 modules from this series are available for your examination. Please note: this series was influenced by my experience of listening to a lot of early (1988 – 1989) Amiga modules, so it should be considered only as an addition to my main modules because of its experimental nature.



I am not giving a list of my recommendations on my own modules, because I want to provide you a possibility of independent exploration of my modules. However, I would like to suggest you a list of modules that have been favourited by other members of TMA (thanks to all of them). Modules in this list are sorted by the year of composition, from newest to oldest, latter brackets indicate the year when the module was composed:

mpxvm: Great, thanks a lot for the detailed explanation and additional examples. Option 1 and the basic principle is what I think of first when I hear the word "collab".

Re: Communication is made by email in 100% of cases. We just do a ping pong with the track, changing back and forward the track, notes arrangement, adding new samples or changing samples, until we commonly agree that sounds good. Option 1. We start from some samples and continue to build some idea, and then start to build the song, pattern by pattern, 1-4 patterns pro ping pong iteration. Option 2. Same as Option 1 only that, we have a pattern as idea and try to iterate from there. This is mostly how I create songs, If you check pattern 00 from all my XM, there is the song idea with drums and everything. The collab advantage is that we learn from each other and combine the best skills. adkd (govatsapadam)for example is very good at disrupting the song line, he makes breaks and turns the boring repetition in something new and more interesting idea. https://modarchive.org/index.php?request=view_by_moduleid&query=191585 https://modarchive.org/index.php?request=view_by_moduleid&query=191397 Psirius is a master of details and can create incredible background sound and variations https://modarchive.org/index.php?request=view_by_moduleid&query=183998

Re: Cool, I like the result. I definitely hear your inspiration in this track. I love how you mixed those obsolete ST-01 sample disk samples. Never done a collab, so I'm wondering which form of communication (text, voice, etc) do you suggest to use during the collab? Text is preferable, but any options will be considered. Can you please describe briefly the process of making a collaboration module? I know that FUMIX 100 was made by you and adkd (govatsapadam) together, so how does the creation process looked like? Possibly I'm asking a noob question, but I'm just curious, and perhaps someone who visits this page in the future is asking the same question. I will be grateful for answers to these questions.

Re: If you change your mind, I am here ready at any time for collab. FUMIX240 which is on pending, was inspired by dog75.mod samples. I added some extra samples for percusion and kick and bass too. I also set fadeout and panning on synths to get some more stereo :D Here is the Youtube version: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Jdlu5zKPdVc

Re: I'm happy to hear that my music has inspired you. Looking forward to your new tracks. Thank you very much for your collab invitation, I will keep it in mind. To be honest, my passion for music has faded noticeably after 2018. You can see this by the fact that I haven't uploaded any modules in 2019 and 2021, and have uploaded only 5 modules in 2022. Still hoping to upload some new modules in 2023, however.

Re: I've got inspired by the samples and strings of your dog75 and planning to create a dance track. I your have desire and time for song collab, PM me at mpxmobile@outlook.de :D

mpxvm: This is a funny coincidence. When I described my imagination in the comment to this song, I could not even imagine that our visual images would be so similar.

Re: You have ready pretty good my mind on "peace inside me". My vision was me, standing on rocks or beach, in front of ocean, alone, watching the ocean or see after sunset, in silence, hearing the waves. :D

mpxvm: No problem. I also have a feeling that I would implement the same idea differently today when I re-listen my old modules, but I take it for granted because experience comes with time. Lack of any special knowledge is not an obstacle to the creation of good works, there are examples of this. I enjoy listening to your modules, both old and new. Thank you for continuing this long-lasting series of well made modules.

Re: Thanks for the generous notes, you are very kind as always. Many times when I re-listen my old stuff I think: ah, I've could do that in better ways. It's always a challenge to transpose into a finit song shape the idea from that stuck in head, without knowing the best techniques or without musical knowledge wich I don't have. But is an reward to acknowledge that maybe is a blue print for the next songs which can be inspired by the sound or re usage of the instruments :)
