I didn't really use vocal/speech samples, simply because I wouldn't have known where to source them from (and I'm not much of a fan of such samples anyway, unless there's some actual thought behind them). So in that sense, no that's not a remnant of my previous tracks. As for where the sample is from, both in the sense of "is it from a movie/game etc." and "how did it end up on my hard drive", I have absolutely no idea. And looking back now, the track could well have done without it, but of course I didn't even think of removing it from this release :)

Thanks for listening :)

Hmm, it's been years since I've last needed to find samples of any kind so I'm probably not the best person to answer this. Freesound.org might be a good place to start, as long as you know what you're looking for. I've seen some positive comments/mentions of the Adventure Kid waveforms (but I've never used them myself). As for my own Impulse Tracker sample library, I won't be sharing it :)

Thanks for listening :)

Thanks :)

Thanks :)

And thank you for listening :)

Astral Projection was the first goa trance I heard back in 1997, but I wouldn't say that this particular track sounds much like them. Some sounds might be similar, but the style, not so much if you ask me. Thanks for listening :)

Game vibes seem to be somewhat common with these tracks of mine. Thanks for listening :)

Thanks for listening :)

I guess you mean the 7/4 time signature? It's quite rare in psy/goa trance, but more often used in downtempo and such (and prog/space rock of course for example). Thanks for listening :)

@@pauleye.official yeah, it's 7/4, right. you dont hear that so often even in prog and space and psych. 7/8 or 5/4 are far more common, this is why this caught me so off guard. Certainly not common in trance. A guy I used to party with was a psycore producer (he passed away, sadly...) and he once made a track in 7/8 and called it intelligence trance music lol.

@@pauleye.official can you do automation in trackers? I always wondered how exactly bedroom producers worked back in the day.

The concept of "automation" doesn't relly apply to classic trackers, since there isn't really anything to automate in the first place. More modern trackers like Jeskola Buzz or Renoise (which I'm not actually that familiar with) do feature automation since they can host plugins, which have parameters you can automate. As for how I worked back then, 25 years later I can't remember the exact process I went through to finish the tracks, and every artist of course has their own way of working so I couldn't give you a universal reply anyway :) I do remember that I worked quite linearly through the arrangements, and also as a little ancedote I do remember writing down melodies and ideas in my school notebooks, often in the middle of class :D

@@pauleye.official very interesting! So, you would just work with samples and or drum machines and hardware synths?

I'm fairly sure that I didn't think of this as "discovering a talent". I was given a tool, and I was curious to see what I can do with it. I already had a musical background, so in that sense it didn't come right out of nowhere. As for the second question, I've been doing some occasional sound design since 2005, and DJing since 2010 (but I still see both as a hobby or labour of love, and neither pays my bills) and the rest of that answer concerns my private life which, to put it a bit bluntly, is none of anyone's business here :)

@@pauleye.official Thank you for the response. I also agree on the private life, privacy ftw Anyway, thank you for sharing those 1998 songs :)

And 1999 too ;)

You're not the first one to mention that my music reminds them of Deus Ex :)

Not a 100% accurate description of what actually happened, but still this made me laugh :D

You're not the first one to ask if the .it files are available for download. I've thought about this, and decided not to share them.

Thanks, I really appreciate it :)

The thing is, I never really made these for anyone but myself. I did come up with the idea of sharing these about 10 years ago, and then 5 years ago again, but those never happened.

@@pauleye.official I completely understand... I do this myself except I don't record it. We're all loving it so thank you for actually sharing it ❤️

Has the: Infected Mushroom & Xerox - Gravity Waves Track sound to Near Perfection!

@@johnrichardson3297 that track has completely passed under my radar. I need to go take a listen :)

You're not the first to get some game vibes from my music, but I must admit that Pokemon came as quite a surprise to me :D

Yep, completely sober. And interesting that Koxbox connection, I haven't heard the track in quite some time, need to take a listen to freshen my memory. I do have the Forever After album (but I didn't have it back in 1999, that I'm sure of).

No other uploads planned, at least for now. I do have a bunch of earlier tracks, but most of them are quite terrible and not worth keeping anywhere else than my own hard drives :D

@@pauleye.official You should still upload them. It is a part of 90s music history. I am uploading all my FastTracker songs at the moment starting in chronological order. First like 50 songs will sounds like crap. I really want to skip them to get to my goa trance songs but I will have patient and continue like I do and grow my channel. I will definitely listen if you upload yours. :)

Well, with the way I create these videos, it would be a massive amount of work to post all of them. I'll have to think about it, but I won't be making promises I can't keep :)

I'm not exactly sure what you mean by the process to record this. There's a technical rundown on building the video in the video description, but if you meant something else, do let me know :)

@@pauleye.official I mean if that is the only way to video capture it? Just curious of the process 😄 I just screen record FT2 clone with OBS studio.

There's probably several ways to do the video capture, but this is what I came up with. It's probably somewhat convoluted, and definitely a geeky approach that suits me :D

Thanks. I uploaded the final track from this collection today, so that will be all, for now at least :)

Thanks :)

@@pauleye.official It just brings many memories of best elements in this genre.

Thanks for listening :)

Thanks :)

Thanks for listening :)

A simple question: so close to finding exactly what? :)

Oh, nice :D

As they often say, limitations can fuel you creativity, but I'm not sure if I thought of a tracker as a limited tool back then, simply because I had nothing to compare it to. It still baffles me a bit how I managed to pull off all this in my late teenage years.

Thanks for listening :)

Thanks for listening :)

Thanks :)

Whoa :o

And those times won't return :) but I hope I'll find some spark to make my own music again.

Yeah, it really bugs me that the bassline ended up as it did. Thanks for listening in any case :)

Thanks :)

It's actually intentional, you can see the channel panning in the video :)

Thanks :)

Magic indeed :)
