I've been musing for a while aboot this, but I'll probably not write any more C64 remixes unless I get a brainstorm or something.

It occurred to me that 99% of my modern mp3 creations have been c64 covers not original works, and tho many non-c64er friends of mine have liked my works they've often said something like "oh.. so you didnt actually write the tune then?"

When I wrote Amiga mods they were 99% original, the remainder -ironically- being c64 re-arrangements - and I wrote over 100 mods.

I'd like to get back to original compositions, tho the downer of this is that I immediately lose a dedicated audience keen to pass comment/review my work and I think this is what I'll miss the most.

I had a few C64 projects on the backburner which may yet get finished, but with the limited time I have on my hands for composing these days its uncertain. I hope to break into the games/tv soundtrack business sometime, and I reckon the only way to do so is with original works.

What about some of the other composers here? What do you do music-wise outside of 64 arrangements?

I'm into a cappella. We're six persons (3 sopranoes (those you've heard in the "TaskIII"-remix I did together with Trace), 1 altoe (who you will hear in my already submitted but still in the upload-queue "Miss ParkPatrol takes a Break"), me as tenor and 1 base) singing swedish folklore tunes in a jazzy and swinging interpretation.

If we're talking about small niche music, then I assume _nobody_ here is into swedish folklore-a cappella in a jazz way? We (the a cappella group) don't want to be famous, and we don't want money, so as long as it's fun for all of us, recording a CD is a light-hearted fun way of getting together!

If you don't know anything to fill your days and life with, then why don't you keep track of this counter (Beware - it's a complete waste of time and energy):

I also think I've got at least one more Ninja piece in me.. possibly a realisation of my own Ninja IV intro thingie.

Erm, Vosla,

My tune has nothing to do with that game... Now I get it. It's not a remix, it's just a tune I composed a few months ago. If you like it, great. But it just shows that if you are a remixer, people think you can only remix stuff. Actually, I have only ever remixed 3 tunes in my life - all of them on RKO.

My work for Vol2 of the CD and the RKO stuff is just a small part of my music. I play key for an 80ies band (Invisible Limits) - our gigs in Barcelona and Madrid this weekend - anyone care to come?, as well as the PS2 game music I am working on is taking up a lot of my time right now. I have composed tons of stuff in the 90ies, most of which never got released due to lack web.

I'll be chomping out stuff a lot more in future, once my time scedule eases a little.

Thanks dude! Its great to hear positive feedback about my old mods, as the nature of the time they were written meant that the only person I ever really got feedback from was Kenz
