Ive been active in the Demoscene and chiptune scene for many years under the name syphus, though occasionally going by silo7, lightbomb, echolevel, and joey&splif. Im a member of the demogroups Up Rough and Space Raiders, and Ive been in BDSE, CpH and some others over the years. Im not as active in the scene as I used to be, but occasionally I still find the time to write a tune or collaborate on a production.
This tune is from an archive of over 130 tunes written since the late 90s using various Amiga and PC trackers, spanning my earliest attempts, my most productive demoscene years, and my more recent middle-aged dabblings. I’ve not dated them, partly because my memory’s not great and also because not all file creation timestamps are reliable.
These tunes are all recorded directly from the trackers in which they were written, with no post production or editing. You can download all the original tracker modules for free from https://syphus-mods.github.io. I usually compose on original hardware, which you can see in some of my other videos and on Instagram, but filming and editing this quantity of tunes on my Amiga/PC’s CRT monitors with a full camera setup would be too time-consuming; I’m very happy with the sound quality and aesthetics offered by WinUAE, SchismTracker, and 8bitbubsy’s fantastic FastTracker clone.
With the exception of tunes clearly labelled as covers, these are all my own compositions and I retain all copyrights. However, I’ve always made my tracker modules freely available under Creative Commons’ Attribution, Non-Commercial, No-Derivatives license, which means that listening, copying and distribution is fine as long as I’m credited (as one of the above names;or Brendan O’Callaghan Ratliff; or both), and they cannot be used for commercial or remix purposes without my express permission.

NOTE: yes, this IS the tune that was used by the cracking group AiR for their Truepianos keygen, and which led to countless YTPMV edits with swapped-out sounds. When I wrote it I was calling myself silo7 (not syphus), and I called the tune verZion (not veriZon). I didnt know AiR had used it in a keygen until many years later when I stumbled across some YTPMVs, but I was very amused (and baffled). Unfortunately I didnt set the mixing volume right in the original .IT file so most YouTube uploads of this tune are clipping and distorted. THIS is how it should sound, and how it sounded when I wrote it. I think I started it in Impulse Tracker and finished it in Modplug Tracker, and thats probably how the mixing gain problem arose. Its a weird little tune but I had fun writing it backwards - starting with a dense harmonised melody and then subtracting notes gradually so it sounded like it was being built up from nothing. Im glad so many other people enjoyed it, or at least found it memorable enough to want to play around with it!
