Fairdark
Inspired by Muse that used this same speach from JFK (in the omonimous track “JFK” of the albume “drones”) i came up with this darky track. I hope you enjoy it.
Darkmatic Renaissance
This track was originally made as soundtrack for a personal video project, still work in progress. I’ve enjoyed the end result so much that i’ve decided to publish it also on Soundcloud. Here it is, i hope you like it! […]
Dark Resonance
This track of mine was inspired by various movie soundtracks and i’ve produced it with no reference to any in particular. The mood is kind of spy-thiller and builds up nicely and smoothly. I hope you like it as much […]
Dark Renaissance
This track is my renaissance because it’s the first one i’ve produced after 14 years of break from music. It represents my first attemp to produce something with new gear such as Ableton Live 9 and Ableton Push. After 18 […]
Bubble Bobble (1986)
1986 – Taito. Originally composed by Tadashi Kimijima, the main Bubble Bobble theme has accompained my childhood like no other videogame soundtrack. It’s been years since my last game with this arcade but as soon as i listen to it’s […]
Agony (1992)
1992 – Psygnosis. I’ve loaded Agony’s disk on my old Amiga 500 literally a countless number of times, but I can’t recall the game itself. Why? because i didn’t load the game to play the it, but just to listen […]
The New Zealand Story (1988)
1988 – Taito. This was one of the cutest games i’ve been playing as a child. Who wouldn’t love a little yellow kiwi (but i thought it was just a simple chick) that needs to defeat enemies in order to […]
The great Giana sisters (1987)
1987 – Time Warp Productions – Rainbow Arts. This game was a perfect clone of Super Mario Bros videogame, but i remember it for it’s nice intro soundtrack by Chris Hülsbeck. This is my own remixed version where i’ve used […]
Super Mario World (1990) – Castle level
1990 – Nintendo My favourite game on the Super Nintendo console, by one of my favourite videogames music composer, Kōji Kondō. This is my own “orchestral” version, where i’ve managed to change the whole sound mood while keeping all the […]
Street Fighter II – The Road Warriors (1991) – Vega
1991 – Capcom. This whole game had a distinct soundtrack for each character’s level. This particular one is the Vega character and is distinguishible from the others thanks to its westernish/spanishish sound and rithm.
HangOn (1985)
1985 – Sega. The simple yet engaging soundtrack was accompaining the player while virtually riding the motorbike in 5 leverls of adrenalinic racing and breathtaking overtakes. I remember playing this game more for it’s engaging soundtrack then for the game […]
Doom (1993)
1993 – IdSoftware. I’ve played Doom for days and days. I’ve created also my own mods. But i’ve lost all the files. Sometimes i wonder if i would have become a game programmer if i was born in a different […]
Double Dragon (1987)
1987 – Technos Japan Corporation / Taito. This game was one of the first co-op games i’ve played. I still can feel the pain in my right-hand’s fingers that reminds me the thousend times i’ve pushed that kick red button […]

Nintendo 3DS and the useless/useful 3D view
