A personal collection of retro-inspired music tracks created using
Strudel, focusing on classic soundchips from:
- Amstrad CPC 6128 (AY-3-8912)
- Commodore 64 (SID 6581/8580)
- Atari ST 520 (YM2149)
- Amiga 500 (Paula, 4-channel PCM)
The goal is to experiment, learn, and recreate the feeling of
8-bit and 16-bit sound engines through modern live-coding techniques.
Each machine gets its own folder (cpc, c64, amiga, atari-st).
Each track lives inside a subfolder:
*.strudel.js— Strudel source code*-notes.md— musical notes, story, technical detailsaudio/— exported previews (mp3/wav)art/— pixel-art or visual cover
Technical documentation:
