[@Ori-Retro-Gamer]

So happy to see the Chris on screen talking about the amazing contribution in gaming history , Turrican II is still one one my favourite game music, thank youChris, and super interview.

[@RetroGamingMusicCom]

I'm glad you like it!! Have you heard my version of Turrican 2 title music? I play it on my Friday Live Shows at 2200 every Friday: kzbin.info/www/bejne/b3jNhId7bZWHh7s&pp=gAQBiAQB8AUB

Legend

[@RetroGamingMusicCom]

He sure is! I had such a great time meeting him!

[@andreaskohaus9909]

Chris is a legend. Fortunately he came back with an amazing soundtrack in the new game Tiny Thor which is in Turrican-style.

[@RetroGamingMusicCom]

I love the the Tiny Thor music!!!

[@TomaszWinnicki]

Still listen to Turrican soundtracks, still love them, like I'm still 15. IMMORTAL music. Like lots of other Amigans I recorded the tracks onto cassette tape (remember those?). I'm probably in the minority here. Overall I like Turrican I the most.

[@RetroGamingMusicCom]

You're not a minority here, I did those tapes too!! And the others did too!! Come and join us on the Live show on Friday kzbin.infoLSJ4diZhjwc?feature=share

[@TomaszWinnicki]

@@RetroGamingMusicCom I meant "minority here" in the sense that I prefer (considering the whole game) Turrican I soundtracks to those of Turrican II and III.

[@RetroGamingMusicCom]

@@TomaszWinnicki Hahaha, you might be on to something. Before I did the Turrican 2 track, Turrican 2 was the gold standard. But now that have made both I think Turrican I theme has more soul, like that fat chords and electric guitars and more!!!

[@FabioFalcucci]

Chris is a Legend!

[@RetroGamingMusicCom]

He sure is! I have to make more covers of his songs! I have done a few already.

[@amigalemming]

Interesting to get to know that the seven voices of TFMX were created by using only one hardware channel for four software channels. For decades I thought it would be the other way round, just like Oktalyzer and OctaMed, only with one hardware channel left unmixed for maybe reasons of limited CPU performance.

[@RetroGamingMusicCom]

Yes! I was amazed to hear this too!!!And that it came from Jochen Hippel!!

[@OLIV3R_YT]

The Legend. Thanks for the interview ❤

[@RetroGamingMusicCom]

I was shit nervous before. But he's such a great and nice person!

[@enderfluke4257]

omg wowwww. this is great.. :) thank you

[@RetroGamingMusicCom]

I'm glad you enjoyed it. There's one more interview coming up with the man behind Shadow of the Beast 2, Wipeout, Lemmings... Tim Wright aka Cold Storage.

[@jseco7385]

You're both a lifetime inspiration. Thanks for sharing. All the best.

[@RetroGamingMusicCom]

Thank you! It's been a great 2022. Making many, interviews, covers and live shows. And many more to come 2023!

[@fenarinarsa]

The friend he's talking about who made the 4-channel TFMX emulation on Atari ST is Jochen Hippel. Hippel also made the ST conversion of all Hueslbeck music in Turrican 1/2 for ST. He was indeed a heck of a programmer (I think he also created a floppy disk format that could be booted either from the Amiga and Atari ST, used in at least one game). As I usually say the best always came out from working on multiple platforms back then.

[@AtariCrypt]

Nice one

[@RetroGamingMusicCom]

Wow! Jochen Hippel is among my favorite composers too! His music is amazing. I've made a few of his song here on my KZbin-channel.

[@webtranspro]

Wasn't that game STARGLIDER ???? I remember a game my friend gave me from his ATARI ST and I could play it on AMIGA.... was it that?

[@OLIV3R_YT]

​@@webtransprowow, very cool. Didn't know that was possible. The things you learn after 30 years 😅

[@webtranspro]

@@OLIV3R_YT sadly, there is so much to learn and so few time for a life! And now we have GPTs and still to few lifetime left to get to learn how it evolves ... But I think we (the ones who write and read and are not dead at young age) have had a very interessting time .... For the Records: Still not enough TIME! Existence you owe me ine infinite life!

[@SinaFarhat]

Lovely!

[@RetroGamingMusicCom]

Thanks!

[@AtariCrypt]

This is great, big fan

[@RetroGamingMusicCom]

It was really cool that I got around to meet up with him in Bergen. I'm also a big fan of Chris Huelsbeck.

[@Boboche]

Man, i was listening to his music on my walkman, treated like shit for loving “electronic music”. Electronic music hate didn’t age well. ❤ chris.

[@RetroGamingMusicCom]

I was listening to a lot of computermusic too when i was young, and of course Jean-Michel Jarre and Vangelis. I didn't really care what others were doing or thinking about it. I didn't get much hate though.

[@jbmaru]

I'm one of Chris's small Patreon fans, love what he does. Thank you for the interview!

[@RetroGamingMusicCom]

He's worth every Patreon he can get. I'm glad you give him the support! I've bough some of his CD Collections! It was very nice too hang out with him. He's a very friendly guy!

[@RetroGamingMusicCom]

[@RetroGamingMusicCom]

[@gilo7171]

SHADES RULEZZZZZ!

[@RetroGamingMusicCom]

Yeah love ❤️ it!!!

[@CiccioCarella]

I must say that at first I thought it was you yourself.... You look a lot like Chris!

[@RetroGamingMusicCom]

Haha... I can agree, i thought he looked like my dad in the thumbnail.

[@amigalemming]

Er klingt überhaupt nicht danach, als ob er schon 24 Jahre in den USA leben würde.

[@RetroGamingMusicCom]

I guess he speaks German at home and also maybe he has a close connection with his friends in Germany.. I guess I have to ask him when I see him the next time LOL.

[@aceyage]

Karsten Obarski next?

[@RetroGamingMusicCom]

Interesting... next is Tim Wright, the man behind Shadow of the Beast 2 , Wipeout and Lemmings and more!

[@RetroGamingMusicCom]

I also have plans for Jeroen Tel
