no worries. didn't mean to stray from the linux focus. i just thought it would be interesting to see (or hear) what some bodhi folk get up to in their spare time.

i thought it was fun. initially i was getting blade runner vibes, but it definitely went a different direction. do i infer correctly from your comment here and the background image that you made that on a commodore 64?

that one felt like mad max. admittedly i only made it to the 3:30 mark

Yes, of course it was made on Commodore 64 in DMC 5 editor enhanced exclusively for me by CreamD.

Consider 3 channels with generators. The sound was pretty cool for those days and what is really surprising new guys still come to the scene these days. I will put here later some new projects to see how far the scene is. SID music is now possible also to make on Linux in Goattracker editor:

So if you like sid music, feel free to grab it and try your first challenge

Of course - I apologize in advance - The tunes are 10 years old and made in Linux (Xubuntu + LMMS at the time), but I uploaded some of them (3 I think) 4 years later from a Windows 7 machine (shock horror!) as I was having some trouble with audio/video recording in Linux 10 years ago! Even in Windows on a newer machine there were some issues. That's why I am desperate to do some new music on my more powerful Linux rig - I will also hope to make the video at least 1080p instead of something akin to 80s resolutions...

I can actually write classical music too, but that takes much longer than electronic

how DARE you?! also cool stuff. i would have never guessed so much was possible with just a computer. i mean they do it on tv and in the movies, but we all know that is fake.

i should have guessed that a system with a penguin icon/mascot would have the ability to track goats.

after a couple years of awkward middle school drum lessons, i tried my hand at some acoustic guitar only to learn that i have no actual musical talent. i love to listen to all kinds of stuff and can sing along in the shower with the best of them, but for the time being i should probably just stick with knitting

Really? Having no musical talent makes you perfectly qualified for being a drummer.

Thanks, I will endeavour to put some Linux-y visuals next time (but it may simply be LMMS running in Linux instead of Windows as video editing is even more time consuming than writing music).

I think I actually regressed in terms of how to produce music - I studied at school and played music into a sequencer using a MIDI keyboard and various other hardware. Then it changed to using a mouse on a little laptop to click the notes in - takes a while to get used to it. Some of the synth apps let you use the keyboard as a musical keyboard which helps play with ideas.
