Contemporary chiptune enthusiast, Mike Richmond, returns to The Sound Test for another great conversation! This time, we catch up on his recent work with the AY chip, featured in later versions of the ZX Spectrum along with various arcades, pinball machines and other home computers. A very similar chip was used in the Atari ST, which Mike has also been composing for lately. Finally, we cover more of his C64 and Amiga music, making this bonus a very nice expansion on my ST1 Commodore 64 Special!
