    Hey guys, thanks for your amazing comments! To answer a few questions that I saw here and elsewhere, off the top of my head:
    - You can download the original mod file here: markuskaarlonen.com/space-debris
    - Space Debris is a strictly four channel mod. This remaster probably makes it sound slightly bigger due to some subtle reverb and other processing I added, but it's still the original four channels playing, nothing more.
    - For the remaster, I rendered the original channels using OpenMPT with sinc interpolation. This is technically "better" than what the Amiga did, but of course a bit of the original charm might be lost, due to Amiga's resampling and D/A converters etc. adding their own flavour to the sound. It would be super interesting to actually record the mod directly from Amiga's audio outputs... I even have my old Amiga 500 in the closet, just no idea if it still works. :D

      Good luck remixing it. I've tried a few times. Captain's work was really hard to top. The mod scene was open to continual improvement. If you were going to remix something you had better do a good job. Most of us were amateurs playing with our computer keyboards at the time, and Markus was a real musician and it showed.

      No need to imagine that. That was youth for many of us. HippoPlayer playing Captain, Jester, Groo, Heatbeat and other guys’ mods on shuffle and browsing & chatting away endless nights on BBS boards. Good times in the 1990’s.

      ​​@@ToniKoobsolutely agree. Me and a friend of mine used to scour the CU Amiga magazine cover disks for tracks similar to this. Yes you'd go a couple of months with nothing, then all of a sudden you'd find a banger. That's how I found the original of this.

    • @1connectedcocreator
      @1connectedcocreator Місяць тому

      @tonikoo absolutely agree luckily I had a friend who introduced me to this wonderful universe of songs and this song was my favourite, and still is among the mods. I played it over and over and over again. Still, I happen to play it. I believe it was back in 1995 when I first was introduced to this song. The original mod file also had the channels divided in such a way that part of the song was in the left loudspeaker and the rest was in the right speaker - that was really cool. Somewhat like they produced songs back in the 50s.

    This was the song that inspired me to start making my own MOD music back in the mid 1990s. Such a powerful sound - yet so detailed and carefully arranged. Definitely a MOD I just kept coming back to over and over again back in the day. It was really moving to hear this again.

    I discovered this song back in 1994 or something like that, on some random FTP archive. I may have listened to it a 1000 times probably and I always wondered were it came from. While doing some cleanup on my PC recently, I ran into it... Well, nothing more to add. I googled it and... I still love it. MODs... ❤ Like some SID treasures out of an old C64, I believe it will still be in my head in decades

    One of my favorite tracks from 1991. Played on my AT-80286 PC back then using a digital-to-analog circuit (built on a breadboard) that output through the centronics parallel printer port & then through the D/A which then went through 2 stereo audio amp I.C.'s out to 2 speakers laid on top of 2 empty Quaker Oats cylindrical containers as the speaker cabinets. This was obviously because addon sound cards were still in their infancy, somewhat new & expensive back then. I think I still have that breadboard still populated, more or less, with the same circuit, after all these 3 decades. I even made a copy of Space Debris but with a couple of sample changes with the lead synths, but that was about it. Anyway, I also still have my Commodore 64 systems, but they are in storage at the moment. Thank you Captain for your music. :)

    This is awesome! I also used to track mods, though I didn't start until the late 90's, using FastTracker 2 on PC (running under DOS at the time). There were still limitations even then, but nothing compared to the limitations you had to work with on the Amiga, and Space Debris blows all the mods I ever did out of the water, even though I had a lot more channels to work with, longer samples, and better bitrates. 😂😅 I didn't recognize this song from my mod days (I also went back in my old mod collection to see if I had downloaded it at some point, but it doesn't look like I ever came across it), but I'd love to hear the other mods you released from back then, and maybe even discover that I have one of them tucked away on an old floppy somewhere. 💜

  • @vekdigital
    @vekdigital 3 роки тому +9

    Hey Markus! Apparently you and I had the same idea only a few weeks apart. I also did a redo/reengineer/remaster of Space Debris. My redo is possibly a little more involved, but still uses all the original sounds from the original ProTracker(?) 4-channel SPACE.MOD file. I used OpenMPT to export separate tracks 'per instrument' at 48KHz 32bit FP and then laid all the tracks into REAPER and remixed it with a light dusting of reverb and/or delay on instruments that I felt would benefit from it. The 48KHz 32bit FP WAV file was then mastered in iZotope Ozone and dithered to 48KHz 16bit. I originally remixed this track back in March of 2016 and sent that to you. Not sure if you remember (and you'd be forgiven if you didn't). I'll shoot you a message on your website to see about getting this more recent remix update to you. Next up - Beyond Music (BEYOND.MOD)! Holiday Blessings to you, your family and the whole POTF gang!

    MODS revolutionized computer music of the time, and allowed the creativity of folks like Markus to explore their creativity. I went down the MIDI path myself with computerized music, but had collected hundreds of MOD files in the late 80s- early 90s. Space Debris was one of my favorites (along with Phantasmagoria), and I'm so happy to see that not only has it been remastered, but Markus is getting the praise he deserves for his work. Congrats, and I certainly hope you're still composing!

    One of the nicest mod pieces out there. In top-20 for me to be sure, although obviously there are so many.
    If only I could find my detached harddrive somewhere. It'd contain pretty much the top-100.
    My own work never rose to such a level; the classical mod format is *extremely* hard to work with. I only did anything interesting with FT2 and Buzz, and even those certainly don't rise to this level in melodic and harmonical control.
