People sharing their favourite MODs/S3Ms made me think of this legendary 432.75Kb file.

Shout out to Necros, and Antoine Rosset, the creator of Player Pro which I used to rinse this out on my Performa 5200 back in the day.

It's one of my favorite tracks from one of my favorite modmakers, Purple Motion of Future Crew.

Okay, please help me out. In the early 2000s (I think) I was quite active with #demoscene #mod #s3m #xm and #tracking

Then came the dark ages where I lost all my media library, samples, own mods and my library of music. Then came the depression, the time where I forgot even the basics. So please be kind and gentle, as if I was new at this.

Could anybody get me on track again? Are there sample libraries? Which program do I use? Which (fast) tutorials are there?

Thanks in advance!

I still remember playing this song as a Scream Tracker module, using his ThunderBass alias and was instantly struck with awe

Treiberprogrammierung lernen. Wieder Musik mit Trackern (#s3m oder #mod) machen. Phantasie- und Maerchenreisen veranstalten, entweder fuer die Kinder der Umgebung oder Erwachsene.

Seminare "gefuehrtes Atmen" fuer geplagte Manager anbieten. Die koennen dann alle durch eine grosse Wiese laufen und ich erzaehle ihnen, wie sie atmen koennen.

Wieder Memory (das Spiel) koennen. Also wie Patrick Jane im Mentalist lernen, den Memory (das Gedaechtnis) Palace zu bauen.

I spent my Wednesday night setting up Netscape 3 with Wine so I could test modplugin from 1998 in a page, guaranteed to silently fail on any modern browser. Why, what did you do with your night? ... I have no idea where I'm going with this.

A crop of a website with a background of Pompeii ruins, two under construction diamonds, a "Netscape NOW" button, and the classic Modplugin (Modplug precursor) embedded, playing "Frozen Monolith", a track I never released.

Ah, the good old days, with FILE_ID.DIZ files full of ASCII art and mod files with trippy music. Now I want to set up my old #BBS as a #TelnetBBS. Oh, and get one of those nifty #RetroWifiModem PCB's that slide into a Hayes modem enclosure. And then I can BBS from my C64 like it's 1989!

I recently found https://github.com/martincameron/micromod on GitHub.

And guess what? #DOjS is now able to play MOD, S3M and XM files 😊

I made two plugins, Micromod does play #MOD files only, but has only 8KiB, IBXM supports #MOD, #XM and #S3M and eats 30KiB of memory.

All this will be part of the v1.11 release of DOjS (release date yet unknown).

I have no idea when I actually produced “First Techno Attempt” as the date on the file says December 2nd 1997, which is wrong as by then I had produced a lot of songs that I would have considered to be “techno”.

I believe I mostly completed this late in 1995 and only added the choir intro in 1996, which explains signing the song as PoC, because while I created this song originally, I still went by the handle “PCi”.

To best fit with the chronology and development of my music abilities, I therefore date “First Techno Attempt” to November 28th 1995.

Regarding the song’s title, please don’t mind that the song isn’t in the “techno” genre by any stretch of the imagination. To me and most of my friends back in the mid 1990’s, “techno” was just a synonym for “electronic music”.

I remember being quite happy about this song back when I produced it, and I quite like it to this day as well.

This unconventional 3-channel chiptune was created with Scream Tracker 3 in February 1996. Shared and published, not for pride, but for brevity.

In this happy S3M produced in late January 1996, I used more chip-sounding samples again. Combined with the limit of 3 channels (just like on the C64), and sizing in at less than 9 kB, I think "Stop The Violence!" properly qualifies as a chip-tune.
