Goldrunner Adagio
This is an adagio version of the Goldrunner theme arranged for strings. I knew what I wanted with this, but at first it was a struggle. Later on the arrangement started to come together, and I just went along with the direction. Sibelius software is great for composing!
This is dedicated to the programmer Steve Bak. I spent a day with him, and he converted my old 6502 into 68000 for the game. If I remember the code worked first time, and the only error(s) was in my actual music data.

This is from the old c64 Dragons Lair 2, tune number 7, with a couple of other bits from another sub tune.

This is a quickly done slower, more dreamy, piano versions of the title tune form the game go go dash, which was for a mobile phone game, developed by Hull College, back in May 2018. The original was very upbeat/optimistic 80's synth tune, produced by Max, and had Chris on guitar. The piano goes on a bit, but the video of the plane is really cool!

Variation on a theme from Dragons Lair 2, composed during the 1st lock down. This is closest to some of the original in many ways. Does it bring up images of the country side - by accident? This was the last one to be completed after getting stuck with the original ideas. this would be very cool, if we make it. www.kickstarter.com/projects/8-bit-symphony/8-bit-symphony-pro-second-half-20-more-c...

A very different take on a theme from Dragon's Lair 2. This was done in a couple of days during lockdown, and captures my mood at the time. Slow tunes are harder to write than fast tunes, but can be much more fulfilling.

commando high score Fastloaders and Rob Hubbard

The very end of the gig, and most likely my last ever tune played live! Fastloaders are great players who should be out there touring and making mega bucks - it's sad that they aren't. It was a privilege coming out of retirement (last gig was 2012), and playing with these guys. It would of been really cool to do more improv with them, but they play to a pre recorded backing track. Amazing that ...

I've been enjoying reading all the details in the fantastic "Master of Magic" this week to appreciate that rare combination of musical and coding skills that gave so much enjoyment to a generation. (Also great to hear more Fastloaders performances in the accompanying archive!)

    Wonderful piece of art. It's good to see you are still creating new compositions and have your own channel. Surprised you don't have more subscribers! By the way you came up with many great solos for your C64 and Sega Mega Drive music. I think that was a real creative skill, being able to compose synth solos using the mindset of how a guitar or piano player would approach it.
