I swear I couldn't decide on which aspect of this post I should put more emphasis : great piece of retro music, making me reminiscence about my 8-bit youth, or a great piece of PSP homebrew that allowed the music to be created. Let's make it just a quick note then all of it, before I get all nostalgic and start blabbering about ZX Spectrum and good old days.
PSP Rhythm is a homebrew sequencer program that you can carry around in your PSP and use to create music on the bus. Neat, eh?
The authors, Billy and Louie Iturzaeta, not only gave us the audio tool, but also sponsored a contest in which participants had to create music with PSP Rhythm. As a result, there was quite a couple of interesting songs that were conceived.
The winner was Transforming Landscapes by Turbo Raketti and honestly, it deserved the prize. You can listen to it by clicking below :
As I wrote in the beginning - I like this song a lot. It has this subtle retro feel to it which makes the images of 80's pixelized games appear in my mind. It resonates well with the synthetic sounds of Amiga mods and the first audio renditions of ZX Spectrum that I remember so fondly.
So all in all : great program and great music!
