Thanks for the comments.

I write all the tracks using beepola, 1tracker and Bintracker plus an .XM convertor for radio in the rain.
Then I load all the .tap files into a real spectrum 48K or 128K +2 using an SD card reader. The tracks are then played back on real hardware and recorded from the mic socket output into audacity on my laptop.

I then EQ the recordings but no filters are applied to remove any crackles to try and preserve the authenticity.

Album download is free on bandcamp, just put zero in the amount. The liner notes and the .tap file to play on real hardware or emulator are also included.

I've just released a CD of Spectronica if anyone is interested.

It's a lovely quality Digipack with a vinyl-look CD.

Also included in the bandcamp download are all the files to play on real ZX Spectrum hardware or emulators. A lot of them have never been released before in this format and all include graphics plus the beeper engines have been tweaked to include border FX.

Check it out here:

Thanks a lot for your great comments. I'm really pleased you're enjoying the tunes smile

Spectronica was released on Spotify and Amazon Music today if anyone wants to stream it.
Huge thanks to Cow Tongue Taco Records who produced the tapes (which sold really quickly) and organised the streaming services.
I whole-heartedly recommend them to anyone looking for a label to publish their album, they've been fantastic with Spectronica.

Hi Guys


My lo-fi album '1-Bit Mechanistic' is now available to buy on CD.
A limited run factory printed disc and card wallet.

I've tried to keep the price pretty low and the postage reduces significantly on multiple disks.
So if you'd like to add a copy of this unique 1-bit CD to your chiptune collection, it's here:
