Neuropa - Phylogenesis (Impulse Tracker Goa Trance / December 1998)

Track 8 from my collection of old goa trance tracks made in Impulse Tracker. This one was finished on December 4th, 1998 and has at least some initial influence from Transwave's album "Helium" again, in particular its title track. Of course I put my own twist on it, and it's perhaps the most "positive" and "funky" track in the collection. Also, this was the last track I finished in 1998, and I vaguely remember I had to take a month off making music here since I started running out of ideas (I have a bunch of unfinished tracks from around this time).
The full 12-track collection will be on my Bandcamp on May 18, 2024.

[@traso56]

I randomly stumbled upon this and I find it really good!

[@pauleye.official]

Thanks :) and I've found some good artists too just by stumbling upon them by accident :D

It’s been a minute, but I got started writing music on ScreamTracker then switched to IT. I was in a demo group that competed at NAID in 95 and 96, and released some independent stuff too. I have never been happy with using MIDI DAW tools. Nothing provides the level of control and workflow like a tracker, imo. I wish there were some modern tools that had that same vibe. I love the idea of assigning effects per row in the tracker - so much better than editing sysex or whatever.

[@pauleye.official]

Yeah, when you get the keyboard shortcuts memorised, working in a tracker is lightning fast, and it's still kinda absurd how easy it is to do something as basic as pitch bends/slides in a tracker versus trying to do the same thing in a DAW. And concerning modern tools, someone mentioned Renoise, another guy uses ZTracker for sequencing hardware (I'm not familiar with either of those), and there's actually a script for REAPER (which is my DAW of choice) that creates a tracker style interface, but I've actually never used it. OpenMPT and Schism Tracker have also been mentioned in some of the comments here, and I'm quite sure there's more out there.

[@kutaren]

Oh OpenMPT is a great free tracker to use, and Famitracker as well, ive used both and had good success with learning/making music. Also while not entirely a tracker, the workflow is similar, Minecraft Note Block Studio lol.

Came here from a DarkTide 40k content creator using your music!

[@pauleye.official]

Oh, interesting!

[@eluberimabib4070]

Bad ass track! Never used Impulse. I went from SC3 to FT2. :)

[@pauleye.official]

I started with IT, then went to Jeskola Buzz (never really managed to make much of anything worthwhile in it though). Thanks for listening :)

[@eluberimabib4070]

@@pauleye.official I've heard of Buzz, never used it. Did try Skaletracker for a while, never really liked it. Renoise is awesome though.

[@pauleye.official]

Buzz certainly is an acquired taste, it's easy to get lost in the modular way it's set up, and end up making weird noises and complex setups instead of making some actual music XD Renoise has been mentioned before, I should maybe give it a go some day.

[@MrPlatonist]

@@pauleye.official can definitely vouch for renoise. perfect blend of old school tracker and modern daw.

[@ToadstoolLive]

super nice looks like very hard to do!

[@pauleye.official]

Actually, oldschool trackers aren't that difficult, once you get the hang of it of course (which is true for any tool you might use).

[@ToadstoolLive]

@@pauleye.official using ableton 12 here they make very easy now to make something hehehehe , but old school live 4ever my bro

[@Doob2hh]

Very nice track ! If i ever get the chance to make a game can i use it ? (with credits of course)

[@pauleye.official]

Well, my tracks are Creative Commons licensed, but I usually prefer using the CC-BY-NC (noncommercial) license, and youtube doesn't have anything more fine grained than CC-BY. If you ever get around making the game, drop me a line and I'm sure we can work something out :)

[@Doob2hh]

@@pauleye.official Sure thing !

[@alexpasko1126]

Great track! Will it be passible to buy the .it files to listen old school style? Would love that.

[@pauleye.official]

Unfortunately, I won't put the IT files up for sale or distribution, ever. Glad you liked the track though :)

Thats unfortunate😢
