about

A great "tour de force" transfering all wonderful music of Mike Oldfield's second LP into a 3-channel home computer. The full program was developed in 2011, for about more than a month and a half, without the aid of any sheet music or book score (it doesn't exist, though), just by listening the record so many times.

The complete ZX Spectrum program can be found at World Of Spectrum archive for free, including another arrangements of mine about Mike Oldfield's work: Tubular Bells and Ommadawn.

From those three complete conversions, always a challenge to me in their moment, I'm so glad over Hergest Ridge's ZX Spectrum version results, as it's more accurate to original music, IMHO.

about

Neil Parsons Spain

I'm an 'afficionado' of vintage console and computer games. I like music in most of its genres, too, but what I like most is creating it or arranging whatever it makes me feel better in my life. For now, my musical adventures run around 8-bit computers, especially the much beloved ZX Spectrum.

I have other interests in music, too, but for now there's nothing else to say.
