Chalices of the Past: SLAMMMMMMMER (2009)
Straight from the United Kingdom, Chalices of the Past shows its musical spice with lots of speed and mythical influences in an EP that will make your ears bleed. A head banger for those who already enjoy some Venetian Snares while taking a shower.

The Commodore Amiga project is something that I’ve always worked on. It started in 1991ish when I first saw an Amiga at a friends house and was blown away hearing more than a few seconds of digital audio playing from a computer. This was a revolution in it’s day and the Amiga was the first home computer that had stereo audio outputs included as a standard feature! I became obsessed (like many) with a form of composition called “tracking”. Tracking takes tiny snippets of audio (called samples) and plays them back at varying speeds to make a tune. Tracking on the Amiga was limited to 4 samples playing simultaneously. However a sample could be a beat, vocal or sound effect… not just a single note (or “instrument” if you like) so it opened up a world of digital composition only previously available to cashed up studios.

I am proud to present my first official album titled “Amiga”.
All 18 tracks on the album were created on the Octomed tracker app on my Amiga 1200.
It is now available on iTunes and Amazon MP3.
These tracks have never seen the light of day in 15 years. So I am very pleased to finally present them.
