Anthony Childs A great reminder incredible music can be created with "obsolete" gear. And it completely fits into his entire Sci-Fi world of imagery, sound and story. Old technology waits patiently for new hands to re-discover its value. Favorite track: A Mist Of Tiny Switching Elements.

softchassis A calming yet intense ambient album consisting of familiar but unfamiliar MS-DOS synths. Each song takes you to a recognizable point in time, but in an unrecognizable place, yet you'll feel at home at the same time. Favorite track: Rainfall Over Parallel Ports.

about

A collection of ambient tracks, composed with Impulse Tracker, running on a Pentium 266 Mhz. Very much influenced by Brian Eno and Harold Budd, and I thought it would be interesting to explore if I could do something similar using only super cheap toy keyboards, sampled and tracked on old PC hardware.

Tracks use mostly samples from Casio SA21 and Yamaha Portasound PSS280. I also sampled a few patches from my Reface DX, and imported some data files from my DOS disk. Since the music is written on old DOS software on ancient hardware there isn't any real digital effects used at all, delay effects are manually tracked duplicates of pattern data or manipulated volume data on looping samples.
