  • New Homebrew OPL3 Sound Card: Sonic Buster 8

    It's been a long time since the last homebrew sound card we had on this channel! LABS is back with another iteration of the Blaster Board called the "Sonic Buster 8". One improvement is that it now uses a genuine OPL3 chip for the FM music. Furthermore it is all SMD components and hence very compact and will fit also in cases where space is an issue. But is it worth the money? How does it hold up against other homebrew sound cards?

  • "G.F.Y. (2025)" - Ferocious Designs (Official Music Video)

    Official music video for "G.F.Y. (2025)" by Ferocious Designs. This is a slightly different version of "G.F.Y." from the one that appears on my 2023 album, Looking for the Light. I was never really happy with how that version turned out so I tried to "fix" it some time ago. I never really finished it, though, aside from reviving some drum and guitar parts intended for the album track. But current events had the song on my mind again so I figured I would clean it up as much as possible and release it. I started writing "G.F.Y." shortly after Russia's invasion of Ukraine in February 2022 and the title came from the reported reply from Ukrainians stationed at Snake Island to the Russian cruiser Moskva demanding their surrender.
