TITLE: Turrican intro music [from the Amiga game] ARTIST: Chris Hülsbeck COMMENT: "For Hybris (which I released before Turrican), I worked out how to reduce channels but keep the quality. So, I kind of knew that I could get the Amiga's 4 channels down to 3 for Turrican. My main goal here was to write a track that didn't use ARP's (those instruments where it quickly changes between notes to create a chord effect). The Amiga version didn't use them, and I felt that if I had to resort to using them in the port, then I would have failed. It would have just sounded like a C64 version of an Amiga track. I wanted it to sound just like the Amiga track, if not better! It only took 2 days or so to write. The main problem was trying to get the chords to work, without them cutting out the melody line and so on. It all comes down to basically tricking the listener. I could remove one voice for another, and as long as it wasn't *that* noticeable, I could get away with it. Kind of similar to how MP3's work, by only storing the information that the user can hear, I guess." (JP)
