da nme! - Hallways (1995, Fasttracker II)
Luka (@[email protected]) did start the trend (not only yesterday, he is doing it from time to time) to dig out old (previously unreleased?) tracker modules from the 90s.
That reminds me, that I'm also sitting on a bunch of unreleased tracker modules. 😉 Why not doing the same then? 😃
Well, back then, in 1995, I was not "die nmi!" I was "da nme!" and under that handle I was part of a demo crew called "YLYSY" which didn't release shit. Lazy coders, lazy graphicans, only me, the musician did stuff, lots of stuff, but it never got released, I never got "scene-fame" 😦
Damn you, YLYSY!!
As a decent scene guy I had a #GUS (Gravis Ultrasound - the very first soundcard like a sampler with its own RAM for samples), and I primary used Tritons Fasttracker II for tracking. There was a kind of friendly war between musicians back then: IT (Impulsetracker - spiritual successor of Scream Tracker Luka used) or FT2 (Fast Tracker II). BTW, I've used Screamtracker as well, but for Adlib FM music (this wasn't covered by IT or FT)!
Anyway, stuff had to fit into the GUSes sample ram, and this was 512KB in my case (later I've upgraded to whopping 1MB) – so there I had to make compromizes to fit stuff into those 512KB, mainly by sampling samples down to 22KHz or/and converting from 16Bit to 8Bit.
The track you're about to hear is called "Hallways" and was done in 1995 (when I was 22y). There is a Beastie Boys loop in it I back then didn't realize it's a Beastie Boys loop because I've recorded it to tape from radio during a show where no one said what was played. I honestly thought it's totally underground 😉 .
The other feature in this song was this: I had found a sample editor which could do Reverb! REVERB!! I didn't had the money for real gear, but this sample editor could add Reverb to whatever sample I fed in, and after only a couple of minutes (yes minutes) calculating... it was there!!! Because of sample ram limitations again, I had to use loop points to loop the reverbed sample parts in Fast Tracker 😃
Anyway, enjoy my former self:
