Steve Wozniak even posted about it, on his twitter account. But they wrangled every last resource out of the Apple II hardware, to get features working. Looking at the graphics compared to modern hardware, people may not appreciate some things. Not only is it an amazing feat that the game was even finished/released, but the quality of work involved, from everybody, is top notch. It's remarkable when you think about it: who in their right mind develops a new game, in 2020, for the Apple II? which came out in 1977 & hasn't been in production for decades? It's brilliant!! and I'm glad to have been involved, musically and with some of the game itself. There is a 'making of' book in the works for the game in general: so I'll try not to duplicate anything I submitted for that. Unfortunately I don't have a symphony orchestra in my basement.Īh, well.hmm. So I used real instruments as much as possible. I just tuned the thing up & improv'd over the gtr part. The coolest thing was using a real balalaika my mother brought back from Russia years ago, for the itinerant band playing in the tavern. And it took a pint of beer & many tries to get those high strings! It would have been easier to lock & quantize everything, honestly.

I don't think I even ran a clock when I laid down the basic drums in track 1. Although I was working the Moog live while playing the chords. So the timing is probably sloppy, but I wanted it to breathe more than copy/pasted midi items.Įxcept for the sequencer driving the rhythm parts on 'storm of Vazarath', which I recorded live while tweaking the various synths, and the arpeggiator on 'song of the wisp'. Just a note: I played all the parts on this whole project, manually. Hey, thanks!! I know you have high standards, so if it gets your approval that says a lot!! The single track is the stereo ( short ) version of track 1 'Nox Archaist Suite'.

It will also run on an Apple II emulator on modern computers.ĥ.1 audio is not supported by Bandcamp yet, so the actual download link is included as a 'bonus item' once you purchase the single track. If you are into video games, it is quite an amazing project: Nox Archaist was written from scratch in assembly line, to run natively on an original Apple II computer, complete with floppy disks (!!). The stereo soundtrack mp3 files are included with the purchase of the game. As mentioned there is a LFE channel as well, but it's not absolutely necessary.

It is designed for playback on four full range speakers: the classic quad setup. For maximum compatibility & ease of decoding, the file format is a 5.1 FLAC container, with a silent center channel.

Meanwhile here is the discrete 4 channel mix, plus LFE channel to enhance FX. It may still happen in the future though. Initially I planned to get vinyl copies pressed, using Involve's matrix encoding process, but as there is a two year backlog for pressing plants right now that has been put on hold. So I remixed the whole thing into Quad from scratch, as a practical exercise in surround. Since it is an immersive, ambient soundtrack with lots of effects, I figured it would be a good candidate for surround treatment.

This album was originally released in stereo a year ago.
