Jeroen Tel - Stranglehold by Maniacs of Noise published on 2017-06-11T23:56:06Z Composed, produced and performed by Jeroen Tel (WAVE) "Stranglehold" came to be a couple of days before Christmas 1995 when I decided to take up the challenge to use only 1 sine wave sample to create an entire piece of music. The only thing to be manipulated was the pitch and the volume of the sine waves. According to quite a few people, the song started a whole new music genre, but I won't claim credit for that... or do I? ;-) I used Fasttracker 2.08 (a tracker program) to compose the song. At the time the most popular music tracker around. The tune is 14622 bytes in file-size (15 KB) and has been extensively used in cracktro's, has been used to test and tweak mod-players like XMplay, Winamp, and the likes. There are many remixes of the song around. Just google for "Stranglehold Jeroen Tel (WAVE)." The original file (XM module) can be found as "jt_strng.xm" (just google it) and is best played using XMplay (www xmplay com) I hope this tune will sooth your ears / mind / soul and heart. Let peace rule your life! Tune into it. Big hello's and greetings to all my fellow tracker friends from back then at #TRAX (mIRC). I miss you, guys! This track is dedicated to those times! I'm copying and pasting a greet list from back then right here in your honor. Hope you all are well! Thomas Egeskov Petersen (Laxity) Thomas Mogensen (DRAX) Sequencer (NDV) BASEHEAD????

Perhaps one that introduces a sinister syndicate. May I ask, what are your terms on using your modules in nonprofit projects such as a music mod for a free fan-game? 2022-06-05T10:27:29Z Comment by FaderFactory First heard this in a KeyGen ... instead of keeping on installing the tool i listened for hours to this track ... 2022-01-29T01:01:10Z Comment by Jordan Music Gorgeous, stunning, smooth, gentle 2021-04-19T08:11:09Z Comment by Mazedude If it's not considered self-promotion, I'm happy to share that your track here inspired this: https://soundcloud.com/mazedude/read-the-sine-from-final-fantasy-4 2020-04-30T03:16:54Z Comment by Humanlink Play This is so relax 2020-01-27T23:24:27Z Comment by nicodinh Discovery of Jeroen Tel with this music in the CD-ROM of Joystick (A french video game magazine). 2020-01-05T12:39:15Z Comment by ɹǝʎoɹʇsǝp ɹǝɟooʍ ıbɐɹı sinewave revolution 2019-03-13T03:21:13Z Comment by soundMonger What an .xm.

It was able to load this Fast Tracker song by Jeroen and knowing his work from C64 I was instantly intrigued. This stuff was a huge inspiration back in the day and hearing it back is just nostalgia chills all over :) 2017-10-27T19:12:42Z Comment by Ageless93 Where's the other 23 minutes? ;) 2017-09-29T20:55:44Z Comment by Marcus Galatix Love this one. The .xm used only a sinewave sample, if my memory is not mistaken. 2017-09-29T17:26:52Z Comment by Pink^Abyss Exceptional! 2017-09-05T10:48:11Z Comment by Armandox ff de toonladder naar beneden lopen... GEWELDIG! 2017-08-17T01:07:59Z Comment by Themnotyou so this is the title eh :P 2017-08-15T19:42:46Z Comment by lilelk Such a big inspiration to me. (waves lighter) 2017-07-03T09:13:46Z Comment by Armandox So relaxing! And confinements to only a sine-wave, as you can hear here, are not at all a limitation, but rather a liberation! So tastefully done! In Dutch we would say...: Goed bezig maat! 2017-07-01T01:21:58Z Comment by MSL Studios Amazing piece ;) 2017-06-30T22:31:29Z Comment by FLEXZiG Beyond its time 2017-06-28T22:57:56Z Comment by clcollab I get some kind of zelda vs maniac mansion-feeling.
