A couple of days ago I got a message from some German trance dude called Nic Ginto on MySpace, saying that he really likes my song Spontaneous Devotion and that he “…felt free to keep up this wonderful melody and make a small Trance-remix”. Trance is usually not my cup of tea, but I admit that Spontaneous Devotion actually is kind of trancey, so it fits pretty well being remixed as a trance song :)

Ginto’s message also made me remembered that another remix was done of Spontaneous Devotion, back in 2006, by no one else than Spanish chiptune king Sergeeo! It is a NES remix and the second song he ever composed using FamiTracker.

Enjoy! (Right-click and “Save Target As…”):

• Spontaneous Devotion (Ginto Remix)
• Spontaneous Devotion (Sergeeo NES Remix)

So… there’s a “48h Challenge”-thread going on over at the 8bc forums, where one person at a time gets challenged in to composing a song in 48 hours, following certain rules given by the challenger. Two days ago, wedanced challenged me to make a tune with the following rules:

8-bit theme song for a unicorns and dragons vs. chuck Noris and David bowie (as the the goblin king) battle sequence with lol cats dancing in the background.

He is obviously insane, but I accepted the challenge non the less. The result (which is more of a 10-songs-in-1-megamix than an actual theme song) can be downloaded here or from the original 8bc post. Enjoy the madness.

I got a message on Myspace from AnalogMoz, who asked about the closed-for-public modules folder in randomizer.se/tunes. To be honest I didn’t even know there were such a folder in there. Now I have however opened it for public, and uploaded a few old modules of mine. They are from the very beginning of my music career (late 2003/early 2004), when I was just starting out with chipmusic, but still hadn’t found LSDJ and Game Boy-music. So don’t expect anything but charm from these small attempts!

Here’s a direct link to the modules folder: randomizer.se/tunes/modules

Oh, and, for those who don’t know how to play these modules, go to un4seen.com and download XMPlay if you’re using Windows, or to CocoModX and download the player there if you’re using OSX.
