Amiga Music: Jogeir Liljedahl Compilation #2

[@MrTeshy1986]

These artists need more recognition, their music is expressive and well arranged. The amiga had an impressive sound chip especially for the time, unfortunately these musicians don't get any recognition and their music is relatively unknown, it takes skill programming "Paula". p.s, any kind of music, computer or otherwise is an art form and should be recognised. Jogeir Liljedahl and other game sound/demo sound artists should be recognised outside the amiga community.

[@GoyliathZiofister]

Welcome to capitalism brah, where the most heavily advertised shit gets endorsed by the great mass of retarded consumerist sheeple. Fun fact, the big name artists with heavy contracts rip off of actual creative artists all the fucking time, and there's nothing the latter can do about it.

[@MNanme1z4xs]

I never pay attention to heavily marketed big names. Thanks for old school gaming, being told what real music is.

[@-taz-]

I recognize them! I tried making music for years and never could do anything nearly this good. I doubt the "consumerist sheeple" would ever care. That's why they're sheeple. It's not capitalism that's the problem. The sheeple in communist-controlled areas ended up in mass graves by the millions sometimes.

[@torstengerhard5291]

They do. But this is not programmed synthi music, but very well arranged and modified samples.

[@1luarluar1]

Totally agree..it seems tracker music is banned to become known outside a circle..but maybe, it's part of its beauty...beauty is jealous, you need to to visit her house to find beautiful things...

[@laurent64]

A nice feature of Paula as opposed to modern soundcards is that its "samplerate" was dynamic. To change the frequency of a note, you had to change the sampling rate of one Paula's voice, this is extremely simple. In modern hardware the sampling rate is fixed (eg. to 44100 Hz) and you need to resample your samples to this frequency with respect of the original sample sampling rate + desired note frequency. And for this, you use various interpolating methods that are costly and sound more or less good. The way Paula works explains why chiptunes actually sound great on the Amiga and don't suffer any aliasing artifacts : it grabs a new sample at constant rate and doesn't do any interpolation.

[@thebyterider]

Another great Paula feature was DMA (direct memory access) which allowed it to retrieve sample data from main memory automatically, freeing the CPU to do other tasks and guaranteeing stutter-free playback.

[@Mordi]

Didn't know this, but it makes sense! Amiga has a certain sound, and seems to perform resampling quite well - or at least in a characteristic way.

[@sandakureva]

A very concise, explanation of why .mod music was just so crispy, and why we can't replicate that sound today.

[@skotunes]

super fascinating!

[@user2C47]

Yes, it's cool, but it requires a dedicated voice per sample, and doesn't make much sense when most music is just one gigantic sample. While processing the sounds using the CPU and sending one stream to the sound chip is more CPU-intensive, it's also a lot more adaptable. For example, having the sound chip change the pitch of an instrument sample means that you can't run it through any effects afterward. TL;DR. This made sense in the Amiga, but doesn't make sense on anything that's not natively a sampling synth.

[@RaptureMusicOfficial]

Thanks for presenting these Jogeir songs! I'm glad to call Jogeir my friend, we also composed numerous songs together. Cheers!

[@dw1664]

I don't think he makes music anymore :-(

[@RaptureMusicOfficial]

@@dw1664 He does, just not so much at the moment, not as regular, but he made a few new songs :)

[@TheMuzykant]

I agree, he is a legend!

[@sandakureva]

I like how these guys are just lurking around KZbin being super chill.

Zoom 300% :-D

[@MoodMan35]

He is a friend of mine and for some years ago in the 90's 20's he worked in a shopping center at Spaceworld not far from where he lived. Some of his tracks you can also hear in Super Nintendo games, such as Donkey Kong Country ☺️

[@TheMuzykant]

That is cool you know him personally!

[@MoodMan35]

@@TheMuzykant Yes, I know Jogeir Liljedahl and I have been his friend in FB for some years now. I still lives in my dear hometown Aalesund, which is a city located on the west coast of Norway. From me to there Jogeir Liljedahl and his family lives it takes 16 minutes by car to drive, where he and his family lives. I got acquainted with Jogeir Liljedahl in the 1990's when he was working in Moa Shopping Center in SpaceWorld. That was the first time I met that guy :) I have known him for 20-25 years now :)

[@TheMuzykant]

@@MoodMan35 Hah wow... that is a cool! It is nice you know him personally for so long since the 90s. This comment is rather unusual (in a good sense) because I never really hear of these kind of things. It is fascinating. Very nice, wish you two well!

[@bravotronalpha3787]

"Keys To Imagination" - That guitar tone. So much emotion...

[@pentelegomenon1175]

It seems like sample based music is the sweet spot of musical quality vs technical limitations.

[@timoloef]

It's a bit what you grew up with ... for me that sweet spot are listening to the greatest SID tunes

[@haakonstenseth]

I have known Jogeir Liljedahl since 1994/95 when I droped by at SpaceWorld in Moa Shopping center where he works and when I bought a new joystick for my Amiga 500 that I bought in 1994 ☺ I have listen for years to his SID, Amiga, MP3 music ☺ Still I like his cd album The Wanderer and Out Of Silence ❤

[@egil-andrenessmortensen3037]

morsomt. Alltid digget musikken hans :) flyttet forøvrig til Ålesund i 2015 =)

[@MallardGryph]

Love the Wavestation sounds... PATCH 1 WAVEDANCE

[@sound10gic]

Me too, bro.. but the sound "wavedance" doesn't exist, but "Sky Jam" (I just looked on my WS) ;-)

[@mvoproject]

Just an incredible composer! Such a beautiful Music, excellent programming skills!! Listening the second compilation already... I discovered Jogeir just in 2020. Very sad that the same composers are totally unknown in Russia. Only thanks to Internet. JL just could be the great game composer like it did another gem Music master - Jasper Kyd!

[@TheMuzykant]

Ah, it is very cool that you as a Russian discovered him! Privet!

[@jmac79ers]

What a gifted composer, some truly beautiful work

[@AozoraOrigami]

crystal rain is beautiful

[@angelodomino]

*Love* the Korg Wavestation at the start!

[@rickmartin5132]

I used to use Trackers back in the Amiga days, such fun, Jogeir Liljedahl is a master, his cd Wanderer is one of my favorite specials for years. I'd like to thank Jogeir Liljedahl for that album! You are a great musician.

[@sandakureva]

There's a family legend where my dad (from America) absent-mindedly ran up our telephone bill talking to Mr. Liljedahl online. I cannot say how true it is, but it's a nice family legend for men with more bytes than blood.

[@mut21]

Out Of Silence is a masterpiece.

[@thebyterider]

The finest Amiga music!

[@fristytron]

I remember having my first soundblaster around 1993-94 (12 years) and listening astonished MOD files. I wanted to make my own music, never did but i enjoyed listening to all those melodies.

[@Its_Ryan_lmao]

The strings in Out of Silence v2 really give off Kirby 64 vibes and im absolutely living for it

[@wphanoo]

the strings intro is the ending song from a snes video game called Arcana

[@PaperMarioParty08]

It gives me more SNES vibes than N64 vibes.

[@MrSimonmortensen]

Protracker :-) brings back memories

[@thatguywiththea3015]

Crystal Rain is such a tearjerker

[@MoodMan35]

When I had a C64 in the 1980's I had some tapes with music with cool graphics and one nice track I was listen to was Magic Touch by Jogeir Liljedahl, but I didn't know then he was the one, who had compose the melody. Celtic waves is a track you can hear playing in Donkey Kong Country, when you are swimming in the sea ☺️ On Spotify you can listening to Jogeir Liljedahl cd albums ☺️

[@senna7811]

Never thougth an electronic sound could bring such heart vibrations. Has Yuzo Koshiro took inspiration from this...?!...

[@MrTeshy1986]

My favourite track is Attributed Horror, "eargasm"

[@luloian]

2018 and all musics from Joggeir, are still pleasant as the time they were released!!! #1 and #2 from J.L. are the best mod tunes...

[@bBbKce]

[@dexterplanck5488]

keys to imagination is my favorite... thanx to Jogeir ...

[@Trancelistic]

This is so great too.. 4 channel art for the win..

[@SpawnofJack]

The last track reminds me of the ending music of Splatterhouse, very dark and eerie, but somehow very beautiful

[@KimStennabbCaesar]

This is absolutely amazing.

[@KimStennabbCaesar]

Nice! Thank you.

[@KimStennabbCaesar]

Great track. All of them are pretty great though. Makes me want to go back to MilkyTracker and MadTracker 2 to make stuff.

[@Tomaharaja420]

Is this Jogeir's channel?/ I emailed him once and he replied! I felt so good to have been able to communicate with him with just a couple of sentences. He is my favorite mod producer. I have a friend who says he still has an Amiga 500! Anyone interested?

[@off1k]

Tomaharaja420 No mate, I'm not Jogeir, just a fan of Amiga music as I grew up owning an Amiga since approximately 1990 and got into mod music from about 1992 onwards, I have thousands of mods because I bought most of the Aminet Sets CDs back in the Ninties and just sharing many of the tunes I liked. I started uploading in tracker format as there wasn't many peeps doing that at the time. :)

[@Tomaharaja420]

off1k Thanks for uploading. They are great pieces of work. I had an Amiga 500 in 1991 but I was in the dark about computer music until 1995 when I got on the internet and learned about mod's. I started converting them into executable files to email them to friends who otherwise wouldn't have been able to play them without installing software. The quality of sound and music in such a small file size is what amazed me and even after converting them to .exe they were still small enough to send and recieve with 14k modem. lol

[@MaxiMuM1441]

+off1k A project14 is also very good mod from him. You can download it here keygenmusic.net/music/paradigm/PARADiGM-KingPinLifeofCrimeinstaller.7z You should play it with the milkytracker

[@off1k]

[@SouthernInvasion]

Ha, I've still got my miggy 500 with external drive and the mighty 512kb upgrade powering the machine up to an astonishing 1Mb!!! Haha, so much love for that machine. I still don't get how this bastard managed to wrangle the sounds he did out of it in 4 channels. Obviously he's some kind of genius and the rest of us are just scrubs.. :P

[@Ti0Luch0]

Fucking A, can't stop listening to this. Thank you mate.

[@orangesoda-yum]

I probably want Jeroen Tel to remake "In the mood" d:)

[@horses-ass]

Am I going insane, or is one of the samples in In The Mood not only the 'auh!' noise from An Untitled Story when you get hurt, but the other one is the 'oof!' from the ending of a game where a baby gets thrown onto the moon? Either Jogeir Liljedahl is a time traveller, or In The Mood was made after 2000.

[@off1k]

Pretty sure those samples you're talking about are from the 70's & 80's midi keyboards. A good chance those games got them from Amiga mods or something similar, many modern homebrew/casual games do this, not just samples but entire Amiga mod tunes as well as many other types are often used in these type of games.

[@7zip731]

14:09 Rubicon??

[@Ghennesph]

I believe the song at 21:27 was either influenced by, influenced, or had a common influence with a song from Bee Storm DoDonPachi 2. Given some songs in that game seem to take from other games as well(Final Fantasy IX battle theme), it's probably that DDP2's soundtrack didn't have much creativity

[@jarnotrast6430]
