THE PANIC PLATE
COLLECTION
Description:
"Die Panikplatte" is a hilariously absurd audio
drama series in the style of Woody Allen's neurotic
comedy: Each roughly 3-minute episode opens with the
warm crackle of vinyl and cheerful yet melancholic
1920s Dixieland swing (clarinets, trumpets, banjo,
piano), before plunging straight into glorious
German-English madness. Episode 1 ("Artificial
Stupidity and the Steel Plate 'The General'") features
the narrator ranting about the idiocy of AI and a
steel plate that grandly declares itself "The
General". Episode 2 ("The Keyboard Neurosis") revolves
around sheer panic at modern RGB-lit gaming keyboards
with 1000 Hz polling rates, while the protagonist
clings desperately to his ancient IBM. In Episode 3
("The General and the Pretzel Rebellion"),
psychiatrist Dr Marvin Finkelstein treats patients
obsessed with the steel plate who create "protest art"
from tax receipts and pretzels. Episode 4 ("The
Madhouse Quartet") descends into full asylum chaos
with hallucinating doctors, keyboard thieves and the
ever-present "General" delusion. Episode 5 ("Let It
All Out!") culminates in total anarchy: the patients
are "released for integration", Stanley goes on a
looting spree with cacti as "subordinates of the
General", Melvin showers in popcorn, fistfights erupt,
Dr Weinberg sobs uncontrollably and the police can
only shout "Let it all out!!!" - a gloriously neurotic
fan club of pure lunacy.
Pure techno from the golden era - high-energy, old-school style. From the year 2003.

TRIP THROUGH THE GRAND CANYON
Description:
This jazz arrangement transforms the iconic 1990 Windows MIDI demo "Trip
Through the Grand Canyon" into a full-fledged, swinging jazz piece. Starting
with a relaxed brush-drum intro that slowly builds tension, the familiar bright,
triadic melody emerges on warm Rhodes electric piano and glockenspiel-like
mallets, evoking the original’s cheerful 90s digital charm. A solid walking bass
and subtle hi-hat swing drive the groove forward, while a lively brass section -
trumpets calling and answering across the stereo field - adds cinematic grandeur
and depth. Delicate Floyd-inspired electric guitar lines drift in, lending a
dreamy, expansive feel that perfectly mirrors the vastness of the canyon at
sunset. Playful percussive touches and brief tropical flourishes bring moments
of pure joy and adventure, turning the short loop into an emotional journey full
of nostalgia, warmth and forward momentum. Entirely produced in Cubase using
high-quality VST instruments, this heartfelt homage breathes new life into a
forgotten classic.

Embark on a sonic odyssey with Autumn's Ember, a track that
ignites with an epic orchestral swell reminiscent of Star Trek's
cinematic grandeur, weaving rich strings into a tapestry of
autumnal warmth. The journey shifts into a breezy 80s pop rhythm,
infused with the playful echoes of children and the gentle hum of
park life, evoking the last glow of summer against a neon-lit
arcade backdrop. As the park fades, the beat accelerates into a
hypnotic Pink Floyd-inspired crescendo, where pulsing drums and
soaring electric guitars-echoing the raw energy of The Wall's
garage scenes-drive the song to a thrilling climax. Paired with
its vibrant 80s pyramid artwork, featuring bold neon pyramids and
checkered floors, Autumn's Ember is a timeless fusion of
nostalgia, emotion, and retro-futuristic flair.
"Dancing on Roses" aptures a heartwarming moment:
under a dark night sky bathed in moonlight, a father dances with
his daughter on the market square after sharing a birthday meal.
It’s a tender, magical close to her special day - full of love and
quiet joy. Musically, the track channels 1970s acoustic soul-pop
with a warm, nostalgic glow. It opens with a cheerful harmonica
melody, backed by a laid-back piano groove and soft drums - the
snare gentle and rounded, the hi-hat shuffling with that classic
70s swing. Subtle strings add a cinematic warmth, creating a
timeless, handcrafted feel despite being fully electronic. A song
that wraps you in gentle emotion, like a moonlit dance in 1975.
THE TUNE's song "Deceived No More"
is a captivating electronic track that captures the
emotional journey of self-liberation and
self-determination. The production shines with an
organic sound quality, achieved through cleverly
incorporated elements such as drums, electric guitars,
acoustic guitars, and expressive vocals. The melody and
rhythm create a dynamic atmosphere, shifting between
introspective melancholy and resolute strength. The
recurring refrain "The way is clear" with its prolonged,
emotive vocal sounds emphasises the message of clarity
and new beginnings, while the layered instrumentation
powerfully underscores the protagonist's inner turmoil
and ultimate triumph.7
The lyrics tell the story of women breaking free from
toxic relationships to find their own identity and
freedom. Lines like "Can't you understand? That I want
to live myself?" and "This way is mine" convey a
powerful message of self-empowerment, reflecting the
desire to break free from external expectations.
Musically, THE TUNE blends electronic precision with a
handmade feel, making the song both modern and timeless.
"Deceived No More" is a rousing, triumphant anthem that
inspires listeners to forge their own path and stay true
to themselves.
When Shadows Bloom is best described
as a blend of orchestral pop music and cinematic
soundtrack style, with a touch of modern classical. The
song is distinguished by its lush instrumentation,
strongly reminiscent of orchestral arrangements often
found in epic film scores or dramatic compositions. The
use of strings, brass, and a prominent piano creates a
vast, atmospheric soundscape that is both emotional and
evocative.
The melody carries an introspective yet uplifting mood,
reminiscent of works by composers like Max Richter or
Yann Tiersen - artists who combine classical elements
with contemporary structures. At the same time, the song
remains close to pop through its accessible structure
and melodic focus, setting it apart from purely
classical or experimental pieces. The dynamic interplay
between quiet, reflective passages and more powerful,
orchestrally driven moments lends it a narrative
quality, as if it were telling a story or accompanying
an inner journey.

MEDITATION
Description:
Meditation, an instrumental rock
piece by its talented creator, is a captivating
5-minute-6-second journey that seamlessly blends the raw
energy of rock with a meditative, introspective calm - a
concept visually underscored by the striking album
cover. The cover features a collage of numerous images
showcasing golden and silver Buddha statues in various
sizes and settings, from serene forests to bustling
streets and picturesque sunsets, capturing the
meditative essence of the title. Interspersed among them
are electric guitars and other musical instruments
(Duduc etc.), highlighting the track's rock character
and symbolising the fusion of both worlds. Musically,
the track begins with a minimalist, warm-toned electric
guitar enriched with subtle reverb and delay effects,
before driving drums and a pulsating bass create a
dynamic yet cohesive soundscape. The structure forgoes
traditional verse-chorus patterns, unfolding like a
narrative with recurring motifs and fluid transitions,
culminating in a gentle, guitar-led resolution. The
production is refined, balancing emotive, Gilmour-esque
guitar melodies with a solid rhythmic foundation, while
subtle atmospheric pads add depth. Blending quiet
melancholy with underlying hope, "Meditation" sits in
the vein of Explosions in the Sky or Mogwai, yet carves
its own niche with a grounded, classic rock warmth - an
inviting, thought-provoking track that rewards repeated
listens and is perfectly complemented by its visual
cover.
The Sun is Coming Out" in an old-school 90s techno track
about a couple's romantic city meeting, riding
motorcycles, inspired by dreamy lyrics of an attic with
stereos and a catchy MP3 tune.
Blue & Orange is a captivating electronic
track defined by a profound, almost philosophical exploration of
colours, emotions, and conflicts. The lyrics, minimalist yet evocative,
revolve around the central question of the nature of blue and orange -
two colours that might seem symbolically opposed: blue, often associated
with coolness, calm, or melancholy, and orange, which radiates warmth,
energy, and vibrancy. The repeated plea, "Can someone tell me that the
colour isn't cold? Can someone tell me that the colour isn't warm?"
suggests a quest for clarity or even a questioning of one's own
perception. These lines invite the listener to reflect on the duality of
emotions and identities.
The text takes a turn when the question is posed: "What happens
if you mix the two colours together?" This line opens a space for
speculation and reflection - literally (the mixture might yield an
indeterminate brown) and metaphorically, alluding to the interplay of
opposites in life. The subsequent focus on "the fight for dominance" is
amplified by the fourfold repetition of the refrain "They fight for
dominance." This repetition creates a hypnotic effect, making the inner
or outer conflict tangible - a struggle that finds no resolution but
lingers in tension.
Musically, the electronic composition underscores this theme
masterfully. The track, accessible via the link from The Tune
Productions, likely begins with pulsating synthesisers that craft a
futuristic, almost cosmic atmosphere - an ideal backdrop for the
introspective lyrics. The soundscape might start with cool, bluish
tones, gradually infused with warmer, orange-hued layers, sonically
embodying the blending and battle of colours described in the text. A
driving beat, typical of electronic music, could mirror the dynamic of
the "fight for dominance," while subtle effects like echoes or
modulations keep the text's questions suspended in an unresolved state.

I now need to extract the integrated sound from the 1000-character code into a
separate "soundbanks" file. This is... complicated. :-D It will take some time
until this works... Really...
Panning has been
implemented. It works perfectly for note input (L from 00 to 50 <-- middle -> R
from 50 to 99). However, playback still needs to be configured for it.

The tracker has been completely redesigned. Additional effects still need
to be implemented within the tracker/patterns. Once that is done, I will
duplicate the patterns so that multiple instruments can be used
simultaneously - various MIDI-like WebAudio-compatible instruments will be
integrated for this purpose. Later, custom-sampled audio files (MP3) will
be added as an optional feature. Every user can, may, and is encouraged to
use this tracker and save their own songs (with a password, if desired).
