Brain's Ramblings

Music

I’ve been making music for ages. It all started on the MSX, tinkering with the built-in sound chip. After switching to a PC, I discovered a program called Modedit 1.0—and from that point, things quickly escalated.

I moved on to the legendary FastTracker 2.0 and later to Impulse Tracker (thank you, Jeffrey Lim!).

Sound Alliance

Sometime in early 1995, I founded the BBS music scene group Sound Alliance. Some might say we made music, others might say it was just noise.., and they might be right!  ^SA started as a mixed group with various styles ranging from ambient, trance and happy hardcore to the much harder sounds like hardcore and gabber.  Some of the members were, in no particular order: Osiris, Freax, Psychotic, The Gabber DJ, Re-Con, Nightwatch, Solenoid, Syntax Terror, The Dane & DJ Waldo.

My shortlist of my best tracks, in no particular order.

Almost all of our music survived and I uploaded everything to scene.org. The full Sound Alliance archive can be found here:

Quotes!

Some quotes that survived.

  • Anyone who copies our music, samples, ideas or whatever.. Will get HUGE dental problems! ( Brain )
  • Hier zou ik mijn lul niet onder leggen, veels te zwaar. ( Waldo )

CD’s

As ^SA we released 3 very limited edition CD’s.

  1. Brainstorm!, 1997 ( 50 copies )
  2. Blackest Souls, 1998 ( 50 copies )
  3. Dead by Dawn, 1999 ( 50 copies + 5 white label ).

Discogs

Somehow we also made it to Discogs. To my surprise 🙂

Soundcloud

I also have a Soundcloud where I “sometimes” release new music. Sometimes in this case once every few years.. Latest track I made is “Promises Made”
