#MODtober – 'From A Long Distance'.
This song was composed by me in 1994. My friend Tarh and I recorded the demo of this tune on two acoustic guitars. Shortly afterwards we formed the music- and #demoscene group called 'The SandS': thesands.ru.
In 2005 I recorded this song in form of #Amiga MOD

'The Song Of Peace' – I composed this tune in 2001 after 9/11 when the war against Iraq was started. In 2005 I recorded it for the 'PostMODism' musicdisk, in 4 channels using Amiga ProTracker. Since then, the song of peace has remained highly relevant.

Modern games: run on the latest Apple M3 processor with 24 gigabytes of memory and a fast solid-state drive, look like OutRun from the 80s, weigh 5.5 gigabytes, freeze during races (probably due to map loading), skip frames, and don't even have the option to reduce resolution.
