about

Out in the incomparable vastness of space, a lone soul is stirring. His name? Xorex. He is a space bug. His bug heart longs for something in the cold cosmic depths. "What is my purpose?" he asks. "To fly and flee among the other space bugs, to survive... Surely there is more than that!"

One day Xorex heard tell of the mighty cosmic sunfish, the Gran Gola. Having drifted through space for eons, the Gran Gola was said to be the wisest creature in the galaxy. "Surely the Gran Gola can answer me!" Resolved, Xorex leaves and begins his sojourn through infinity.

The galaxy can be a cruel place, but it can also be a place of joy. A place where meaning is found and wisdom gained. A place of strange bumbling creatures and terrible beings lurking in the dark. What awaits this space bug on his journey?

This 1bit Chiptune album represents a project that has been germinating for years now. A few of these original pieces were conceived as soundtrack for rudimentary games I had been playing around with. But over time those passions faded but the music remained. Over time a story began to take shape, and I let my creativity run forward, writing new pieces and rewriting old ones. The end result is this concept album. As an added bonus, I have included four remixes in this album representing a variety of styles. This was inspired by old videogame soundtrack releases, which often had arranges on the disc as a bonus for the fans.

The chiptunes were made in beepola, a freeware 1bit tracker that emulates the beeper engine of the ZX Spectrum and other 1bit computers.
