Release date: 17/01/1989
Eight-Bit Deboned was composed and played using a tracker - Oktalizer 1.0 on an Amiga 500 - a midi keyboard and a few samples, token from Amiga magazines’ bonus disks and an Akai sampler.
With this set I composed 14 songs about people moods and travels, then I packed all on a HD floppy in mod format, with a mod player enclosed. The resulting sound vaguely reminds of Residents or Fred Frith. Technical limitations (only 8 mono tracks) gave him a minimal taste, between 70's 8-bit videogame music and freak industrial.
In October 2008 I decided to resuscitate it, diggin' in my old amiga floppy repository I found a copy. On Amiga I tried to reconstruct songs (all had errors and missing or damaged sounds), I substituted some samples such Malcom X on Friend and Enemies or a few voices in Luke's travel, but for damaged sequences there was nothing to do. At the end I recovered only 10 songs.
