Kulor — Alter Ego OST
“Once upon a time Denis Grachev made a game for the ZX Spectrum. The game was called Alter Ego and it was pretty sweet, so Shiru decided to do an NES port. Since the ZX Spectrum couldn’t really handle playing music while running a game at the same time, the original version of the game had no music. That’s where I came in! Using Famitracker to interface with Shiru’s NES music engine, I created a soundtrack which would fit in the <9 KBs available. Shiru’s engine gave me 31 instruments to work with, no possibility of changing duty cycle outside of at the very start of an instrument, no effects and no volume column…so the results were fairly limited. Those are the “classic” tunes.But then Denis Grachev got ahold of me directly and asked if he could use the tracks for a Windows Phone 7 port of the game that he wanted to make. I decided that instead of taking the lazy way out and saying “sure go ahead”, I would remaster the tracks and make enhanced versions using the full capabilities of Famitracker. So here it is, my first full game soundtrack and my first album release on Ubiktune! Hope you enjoy!Special thanks to Denis Grachev for making an awesome game, and special thanks to Shiru for putting together an amazing NES version! Also a special shout-out to the #ancat crew: lunardave and miau and heos and rushjet et al”— Kulor.

gwEm / PHF releases booTribe

This is a different sort of production from me. You could call it a musical toy. I’ve been inspired by the drum machine of the Korg Monotribe, and have combined it with STj into an executable boot sector. Unlike my 128byte productions, which are more or less pure demos in that they are concept investigations, this one could actually be quite useful to musicians and live performers.
A list of the features may help to explain more:
* STj like tempo control for precise DJ beatmatching
* Three drum sounds
* 16 steps (use shift to access odd steps, alike to Korg Monotribe)
* MIDI clock output
* Very fast loading – due to boot sector implementation
* GEMDOS file system still supported (use it with STj in auto folder no problem)
* No screen required
