straight from YOUR playlist
if you encounter a piece of sound so great you want to hang yourself for not being able to write something of similar quality...
if you think you've just found the best music ever made...
if you think a certain song/tune/symphony contains some unusually awesome elements...
...and you want to share it with other c64 composers and not necessarily via your facebook wall, just do it here.
explanations, reviews and so on warmly welcome.
one link per day max.
have fun. |

Would make a excellent tune for a game. Pooyan II anyone? |

two extraordinary vocal pieces that have surprisingly much in common :o
a madrigal by Carlo Gesualdo

and a piece of Bulgarian folk music

I'm generally a sucker for powerful game soundtracks. Typically, PlatinumGames makes stuff right up my alley (Vanquish, Bayonetta and Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance have massively awesome OSTs).
A tune which piqued my interest comes from Virtue's Last Reward (which is a slurpily delicious mindfork of a game by the way, go go play it now!) and is magnificently called "1-17 Q":

Great c64 conversion potential...
As a bonus, Presence by Mindsphere is a non-game 14 minute piece of pure liquid supercooled hydrogen:

Yep, outside of games I'm heavy into Goa. Whodathunkit? :)

Pretty much fell in love with Trinodia's work since Breakpoint 2004. Dude likes to mix Goa with scifi/physicist quotes related to space. Think quantum wormholes, Faster-Than-Light technology, astronauts performing Galileo's experiments on the Moon, a physicist explaining Flatland, time travel and heck, even Star Trek - Trinodia puts these brief sound bites into long, atmospheric tunes in such a way that they sound prophetic, ominous even. Love it.
"Halfdeaph" is my favourite track, but I can't seem to find an immediately-playable interwebz version. Try to download it though, it's an old track but certainly worth it.
Found the more recent "Wars of the Gods" on Youtube, though, which is also quite good:

You can download a lot of his stuff free of charge, btw. If you're interested, find trinodia.net and download free albums from there.

The Oscillation "Hear Your Sadness" from their 2007 album "Out Of Phase".

@Randall: Never heard of them. Sounds nice. Sort of reminds me of the style of Komeda but without the pop element:

The most Jazzy feel is on the "Pop På Svenska" album from 1993 but I couldn't find much of it on youtube. |

Nightmare Creatures on the PSX would be an average Final Fight style beat'em up if it wasn't for the OST, which was composed by "Nooon"e other than Elmobo aka Moby (the Scene one, not the mainstream one :) aka Frederique Motte. The following track in particular gets me even today and will be forever intertwined with me facing off against werewolves, geists and other nightmarish creatures in haunted graveyards and mist-covered, 17th century gothic cityscapes:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5zsY3PxYM0M
The track's ambience induces paranoia, fear and a cold chill all at the same time. It greatly improved Nightmare Creatures' gaming experience and it's not a coincidence the game was successful enough to warrant a sequel and Elmobo a second OST commission.
I have remixed this tune on c64 - twice, because I lost the files of the first remix. That's how much I love this tune, and appreciate Elmobo's talent and effort towards its composition.
Oh and for those interested, Elmobo has been in the process of remastering the OSTs of Nightmare Creatures 1 and 2! See, here:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FceI1KRMj4Y
Unfortunately, Frederique ran into copyright issues recently (announced May 31st 2013) :(. I do hope these issues get sorted, because I would like to be first in line to pick up a copy...
