LMan - my stage name for music

Vaporwave / Chillwave: missed the hype, but here it is. 😊

Heavily inspired by the 1996 track Street Knowledge by my friend Orion Deluxe (aka Second Face), basically this is a remake.

This house track is a sound demo for the inSIDious VSTi, the definitive SID chip emulator for your DAW. Mike Clarke, the programmer of the plugin, asked me to create patches for it, an honour I gladly accepted.

The idea was: how does a c64 house track fare against modern music in a tough competition from the demoscene's most talented?

In 2018, Steffen Goerzig approached me with an idea for a new demo and a world first: 8 SID chips in one C64. Almost one year later, we've released the demo at Evoke 2019 in cologne, winning second place in the Alternative Platform competition.

X'2018, the definitive c64 only demoparty in the world. Our song My Life scored #3 at the music competition.

Oldschool Music Competition

for Censor Design / MultiStyle Labs

Another coop for the $11 triangle wave music competition between Jeroen Tel and me. The idea was to compose a song around the famous Skype ringtone.

Here's my contribution for the Nonstandard Time Signature Competition 2018 held at CSDb.

Here's my personal entry for the $11 wave music competition. Apart from the usual limitations of doing music on the c64, the rules of this competition state that only the triangle waveform may be used for the song. The triangle waveform is a very soft sound, so it was challenging to create punchy and treble instruments with it.

My first co production with legendary composer Jeroen Tel, and at the same time my first Maniacs of Noise release.

This was our contribution to the $11 wave competition held at CSDb in February 2018.

This is not a c64, but an Amiga tune for a change. It's a ProTracker mod, made completely out of unmodified sounds from the ST-01 sound disk, that was shipped with the original Soundtracker in 1987.

Remake of the title tune of Giana Sisters for the Nintendo DS, released 2009. The tune was composed and arranged by Fabian del Priore aka Rapture, and is itself a cover of Chris Hülsbeck's original Giana Sisters Title Theme. The screen was hand-pixelled by me, based on Alex Pikomi Pierschel's original artwork.
