This week on the FMA: AY-Riders

fma-legal-music-5“Existing as a subculture within the larger chipmusic ghetto can have interesting side effects. The multi artist collective AY Riders, many whom operate in Eastern European countries like Poland and Russia, have developed a strange divergent chip culture, platypus like, around the ZX Spectrum computer.”

TCTD Podcast #006 - Russian ZX Spectrum Scene

I asked my friend C-Jeff to select a playlist representing the Russian ZX Spectrum scene, since I myself know very little about it. He gladly accepted, and sent me a zip of 27 tracks by 13 of the most important and noteworthy Russian Speccy composers, about two weeks later. I’ve enjoyed doing this episode very much, since I’ve discovered a lot of awesome music and have gotten a new insight in one part of the chipmusic scene I know very little about.

Since TCTD Podcast have had a break for more than a month, this is a kind of “double episode” trying to cover for it (it’s almost 70 minutes long). Enjoy!

Not everybody has instrument with factory inscription on it. wink

I helped a bit to Zaxxon in project of band **NEW** AY interfaces for ZX Spectrum

So – if You have some ZX Spectrum 48K or Spectrum+, but You prefer AY/YM sound than Z80 sound – then You can buy from Zaxxon this new STEREO interface. smile

Spectrum

I am the seed

a zx spectrum demo me and my friends created in 2005.

elfh – programming

miguel – music, graphics, design

moran – graphics

done with z80 assembly language and some tools for zx spectrum 8bit computer.

In this work we used noise on images of landscapes around our city and aether creatures, moving around it, to reflect blurriness and uncertainty of our thoughts and feelings about past and future. To say with a visual language, how it feels sometimes, that all your efforts lead to nowhere, but in the same time you understand that you have to move.
