Another old track by me. After a few super simple tracks I wrote in 1994 (unfortunately, I lost them all), I tried to make something more interesting. It is still pretty simple, but trust me, it was a huge leap forward for me. #zxspectrum #chiptune youtu.be/VWfTEUHvWEY

I began making music on #zxspectrum in 1994. 1995-1999 were the years when I wrote most of my ZX Spectrum music. This is one of early tracks, it sounds pretty simple and naive. So, don't judge it too harshly, I was still learning the craft.

No time to rest after the album release! I continue uploading my old #zxspectrum music to YouTube. Autumn (or fall, if you're from the USA) has started, so it's time for "Autumn is calling" #chiptune youtu.be/N6ziQEfHgP4

It's ridiculous the level of artistry contained in every staffcirc release, and somehow, it gets better every time 🐸

Being featured here (for the first time) has been such a honour, I had a great time playing the violin for @tancla.dog's lovely tune and I can't wait to contribute again ^^
