about

Everything is a matter of time. Something's past, something's present, something's future. Some things have changed, some not. Let's dive into a cross-section of my best works from the mid 00's to 2021 I participated at several demo parties like Breakpoint, Revision, Forever, Raww Orgy or Silly Venture. Many of the tracks have placed on top places. Now, it's time to uncover them for the wider audience.

All songs have been made in software music trackers producing both emulated music and music playable on real Sinclair ZX Spectrum 128 (AY-3-8912 chip), Atari XL/XE (POKEY chip) range of 8-bit computers and Commodore 64 (SID 8580 chip). Some tracks use hardware enhancements of these computers to produce more audio channels than possible on stock machines. All songs have been remastered to bring the best musical experience.

All tracks composed by Aki,
except track track 12 originally composed Sexy Suicide,
track 13 originally composed by Traven
and track 16 originally composed by X-Ray.
Tracks 05, 13 and 16 have been enhanced for TurboSound (6 channels enhancement method out of the standard 3 channels of the AY-3-8912 chip)

Many thanks to both demoscene and non-demoscene people giving me moral support, understanding and motivation to make this album happen.

Please note that Bandcamp is taking a not negligible amount of the selling price.

Many thanks for all of those who have bought this album. It's not just a motivation, but strong prove that the effort I put into making this album was worth of. The more people buy it, the more likely a future album is.
