Not sure if I'll be able to make it. But I'll try.
Re: DiHalt 2017 (July 1-2)
Two tracks already exist. Who else will join the battle?

That's a shame mate. I was looking forward to a new Beeper track in your very recognisable style.

Thank, yes it's a pity, I want to make more beeper music. I've listened to the tracks, all of them are excellent. The Temporal Beeper is very experimental, and I like that much because it remains musical. The mood reminds me the Dune game, if you know what I mean. What engine did you use?
The Last Summer is very heavy. It almost sounds like some FM music when then try to emulate Metal Guitars. The other two tracks are great too. I was wondering if "Drive" was made by Ulz but it's not the case. (but I was already sure "the last summer on earth" was)

Hi Garvalf
Yes The Temporal Beeper is experimental, I just wanted to write something completely different for me. I've never heard the Dune soundtrack, I'll have to check it out.
It uses the excellent zbmod engine that utz wrote last June. A three channel digital engine using samples. Once you've got the hang of the sample instrument note ranges it's enjoyable to write digital music for the Beeper
We're spoilt for choice now with all the amazing new engines available - zbmod, Phaser X, Squeeker plus, Pytha, Quatropic etc. etc.
Phaser X in particular is an engine I'd like to have a go with. Utz has already produced two excellent tracks with it in "Frozen Mohawk" and "Last Summer on Earth"
Good times for Beeper

it's not especially the music, rather the general mood, like it could be added to the track list: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FjHon6yg-r8 (there are even some glitches and "experimental sounds" in the first song)
Ah yes, I should have thought to that zbmod engine... Well done, it doesn't sound like samples at all at first hearing.

Thanks for the link and your comments, I've just listened to it. Wow, love that soundtrack
On temporal, the 'beeper' sample was recorded from a ZX spectrum currah speech unit btw.

Hi utz
Yes I saw the results this morning, congrats on another win mate
I expected my 4th position, exciting for beeper with all the new engines to explore
