Time is a new single released with my Industrial Synth project Zeitgeist although this track probably leans a lot more into Futurepop similar to VNV Nation and Covenant.
Time features verse vocals and lyrics by legendary EBM artist Hans Åkerman from Run Level Zero , I wrote the lyrics for the chorus and sang the vocals for those as well.
The track is 10 minutes and 44 seconds long, with the first half being more ambient until the kick drops after 5 minutes.
Time is released in three versions including Instrumental and a shorter Radio version.
Enjoy!

“Absolutely love all about this tune! A great jam, makes me wanna get up and dance <3" Leaf, CSDB
X a bi-annual Commodore 64 exclusive Demoscene event, taking place in Someren, The Netherlands. It started back in 1990 and is considered the biggest and most prestigeous old school event of them all. This year I managed to finally attend, and of course I had to bring something with me for the competitions.
I submitted a SID song in the Music Competition, and won first place.
Considering the insane level of quality you compete against when it comes to all the music entries made by pretty much all the best currently active Commodore 64 musicians, I really did not expect to win.
The trophy is massive, perhaps one decimeter in thickness and probably weighs about three kilo.

Time To Go is the latest single released by Glyn R. Brown. Glyn is considered the Greatest Of All Time remixer within the Commodore 64 Remix community , however the new track is an original composition of his. I am credited for mastering.

Revision is the largest Demoscene event in the world. It takes place every Easter in Saarbrücken, Germany. This year I submitted some music to the Streaming Music Competition and got a trophy for third place with a track called Time .
This is the prize ceremony where you can see me walk on stage together with my friend Romeo Knight, who won first place in the same category, to receive the trophy.

The Meteoriks is perhaps the Demoscene equivalent of The Oscars. It is a prestigious award surrounded by a lot of pomp and circumstances. This year I was asked to take on the role as Head Juror for the Best Soundtrack category.
The award ceremony, traditionally taking place Friday evening at Revision in Saarbrücken, was merely the culmination of half a year worth of work; assigning jurors, administrating everything and evaluating thousands of applicable demo productions in order to arrive at a short list of potential nominees together. The final rounds were the most rewarding, collaborating and agreeing on not only the five nominees but even more so a clear winner .
We did not expect a soundtrack on the ZX Spectrum 128 to beat the competition from modern PC platforms, but here we are!
In order to make it a bit more festive and break the norm, I asked legendary musician Romeo Knight to join me on stage to deliver the speech and award. He was also a member of our jury team, which included TwoFlower, tenfour and Vincenzo.

Edison is the oldest Demoscene Event still going in Stockholm, and this year it took place on a boat in the middle of the city. I submitted three music entries for the competitions.
Two of them won #1 place.
I Think of You won #1 in the Edison 2025 Streaming Music Competition.
OK, so maybe the title should have said Quadruple Win at Edison 2025.
Fairlight also won first place in the Oldschool Demo Competition with a Commodore C64 demo, and Fairlight member and musician group colleague Fegolhuzz won first place in the Oldschool Music Competition. I did not contribute to those two productions, other than being a member of Fairlight, so let’s just say Fairlight dominated the competitions and I am pleased to have contributed to half of the awards.
Enjoy!

“Join us for a great discussion and Q&A about music with some of our beloved legends, live from ZZAP64! Brought to you by ZZAP64 Live & SLAY Radio, live on air from Kenilworth, UK!”
Among many other panels, there was a Music Q&A Panel led by Andrew Fisher (Merman) featuring Jogeir Liljedahl , Peter Clarke , Mike Clarke , Jason Page , Mark Knight and myself.
We were talking about making music and audio on 8- and 16 bit computers, sharing some memories and anecdotal stories from the early years and onwards. To be invited and rub shoulders with all these legendary musicians from the Demoscene and Games Industry was truly an honor, I grew up admiring the music by all these people and suddenly I found myself not only meeting them but partaking in an hour long discussion about computer music and more.

“I am utterly shocked of this ****** amazing demo and I enjoyed every second of it (…) . The story line, the effects, the coding (wow!!), the music especially the end sweet tune, the execution, the graphics, the “glue” everything gels here: Perfection. I am not sure if its the greatest demo of all time , but I wouldn’t be suprised to know this is the greatest demo of all times.” – Dr.J @ CSDB
The Meteoriks are perhaps the most prestigious award to honor Demoscene productions. In several categories, they recognize the best of the best of the previous year. Our Commodore C64 demo 13:37 by Fairlight was twice nominated; Best Direction and Best Old School Production.
I am credited for making the end title music.
The Demoscene is recognized as the first digital culture on the list of UNESCO intangible world cultural heritage in at least seven countries such as France, Sweden, Finland, Germany, Poland, Switzerland and The Netherlands.
Watch an interview with fellow Fairlight colleagues discussing how the 13:37 demo was being produced here .

6581 was originally released as a CD Album in 2002 published on Lynne Music by legendary Amiga musician Bjørn ‘Dr. Awesome’ Lynne . It is now available on all the streaming services, I decided to release it in it’s original master format for posterity.
The tracks were mixed on an analogue console and I used two Elektron SidStation sound modules, containing the original C64 6581 SID Sound Chip, as well as a real hardware Roland TR-909 drum machine and a genuine Roland TB-303 Bass Line synthesizer.
The second last track, Sliptrip Mammoth, was a live session where I tweaked two SidStations and constantly changed the knobs and pattern of the Roland TR-909 drum machine.
The last track, Oxygenerique, was recorded live in straight live takes one each with me playing first the Roland TR-606 drum machine and Elka Synthex, then one live pass with me playing bass on a Moog Minimoog Model D, after that another take on the Moog for soloing and finally to do Jean-Michel Jarre-style lazer sound effects with the Moog.

It’s been soon two decades since the last Der Danko release, but hopefully this one might brighten your day.
Autobahn is the latest single by Der Danko, my German alter ego. All the synthesizer sounds are made using the Commodore C64
audio chip, SID 6582 R2 . And then there is me. Singing. In German.
Viel Spaß!

This year I submitted three music entries for the competitions at Deadline in Berlin.
Two of them won #1 place.
This time, I won #1 place in the Deadline 2024 streaming music competition.
Grooveline won #1 in the Deadline 2024 oldschool music competition.
OK, so maybe the title should have said Triple Win at Deadline 2024 Party.
I can’t take that much credit for Tactical Transmissions, that goes to all the other musicians who contributed and especially to H0ffman who coded the highly advanced software to drive the music and visuals.
