Yes, PC Speaker has just one channel of pure square wave without volume control, that's all you hear in this album. Perceived polyphony here is just an advanced music arrangement trickery.

Thoroughly impressed with this! I haven't ventured outside of 4 and 5 channel chips but I use these techniques on single channels a lot. Crazy that you did all this with just the one monophonic square. What other parameters do you have access to for this? Duty cycle? Pitch? Anything else?

PC Speaker was one of earliest and most primitive sound devices of personal computers, intended to produce very basic system beeps. It is only capable to play single voice of square wave without any volume or timbre control. This album reveals some hidden potential of this little device that remained pretty much unexplored due to rapid progress in the computer technology back in the day.

One of unusual qualities of this release is that it has been produced in a modern DAW (Reaper), yet targets real PC Speaker. You can achieve the same using my free plugins and stuff: http://shiru.untergrund.net/software.shtml#daw
