Here is another revised mix of a previous project of mine.  This is The Dance of the Sugar Plum Fairy from Tchaikovsky’s Nutcracker Suite.  It started as an 8bit, video game inspired remix until I recently got addicted to Dubstep and started to hear gigantic bass missiles firing along side of everything else music related that I’ve heard., So toward the end, you’ll here a little of that creep in.  :)

Here is yet another revision to this Castle of Dubstep piece I’ve been working on and uploading repeatedly.  I’ve been focusing on production quality lately.  I’ve been getting the bass to really drive the experience without overwhelming everything else, creating intense distortion effects without causing ears to bleed, and ever more twiddling of filter cutoffs and overdrive levels right up to the point of crazy.

Castle Of Dubstep Super Mario (Remix)

Just another dubstep based on awesome video games!  enjoy.

Castle Of Dubstep - Super Mario World (Remix) - PREVIEW

Here is a little preview of my days work.  I’m thinking it’s not too shabby.  I guess I can surprise even myself if i put my mind to it.

A renewed oldie of mine.  I rushed it out a bit as it’s being considered for use in a documentary.  (which would be awesome.)  The artwork is actually very close to what I was originally picturing when I first created this piece.  The early versions of rogston were named “blue-brown-town”  I imagined flying through an extra-terrestrial alien city that may or may not be abandoned.

When you’re barefoot looking through a foggy window, snow falls from a warm twilight sky and water beads up on the ceiling while you look down on clouds of sand far beneath your toes.

That’s just one of the places I like to be when I listen to my own music.  When my mind is in an abstract place, it’s like i’m in a dream where the only thing i can do is feel the music.  I’m not thinking about my problems, just me and my music.

There are so many ways this piece can be better, but there is a point for me where it’s just too much hard work, and well, that’s just not as fun.  That point is always moving further away from where it began though.

All i know about the author of this chiptune is that they go by ***tdk*** and that they probably live in Sussex, England.

8-bit music is basic and represents the smallest building blocks of music redefined in a way that captures the incredible art of computers.

A working machine that follows coded patterns and churns out information is easier to grasp when you hear the 4x4 beat and the familiar progressions that loop over and over.  It’s this same procedure that’s causing this page to render, it’s the same system that automatically checks your disk for errors.  The same digits of code, arranged differently, ask a server on the other side of the planet if your computer is up to date and tells that server you want to download software through thousands of miles of air, copper, and fiber onto your computer.

And that is a beautiful thing that works exceptionally well if you think about it.
