| 29.03.2025 24 Preludes about Amiga Themes by Kordian Więcek Kordian Więcek who brought us Dueling Pianos: Turrican just released 24 Preludes about Amiga Themes! "It's been exactly 10 years since the first Opus Retro piece, Turrican, premiered, and I think it's fitting to expand the cycle with the Amiga Preludes. It's another great homage on my part to the great musicians who created unforgettable moments with their artistry, some of whom are still writing music today or have sadly passed away. The Amiga Preludes are conceived so that they aren't listened to and played individually, but rather as a complete cycle. It's a concert piece that takes you back to the good old days. That's one of the reasons why I ultimately decided on this selection of compositions and gratefully adopted several of your suggestions, even though I didn't even know all of the pieces and games. But they fit perfectly into this project. Thank you all again for all your suggestions. I also spent a long time fine-tuning the sound and ultimately returned to the Alicia Keys VST. I tried mastering it, and "unfortunately" this is the version that isn't completely flawless, but it's the one I like best in some ways, as certain frequencies come through better than in other versions or piano sounds. It's not perfect, but the bass in particular comes across clearer and cleaner than in many other versions. listen and enjoy :) Happy Birthday Amiga!" For all, like me, who didn´t know: "A prelude (German: Präludium or Vorspiel; Latin: praeludium; French: prélude; Italian: preludio) is a short piece of music, the form of which may vary from piece to piece."
