I've just released the KORG DS-10 to KORG DSN-12 converter (the great virtual analog synths for Nintendo DS and 3DS game consoles): github.com/Manwe-SandS/... – now you can play your old tunes through 16-bit sound output, instead of 8-bit! Huge thanks to @mystievous.starseekstudios.com for help.

Behind the scenes (recorded with an iPhone mic): I’m experimenting with a 13/16 time signature. The track will, of course, be called «The 13th Floor». How do you feel about this acid chiptune trance?

If #AI has sped up your work, it means you were working slowly. That’s OK – I recently ported a game written in Fortran, but I can only read it at a junior level. So a week of chat with Claude Code really did speed up the process. But if I were a Fortran guru, I’d have done it all myself in 3 days.

"Thank you, it works" message sent to Claude spends near 400 credits. And yes, as an UI/UX/Product designer you still spend around a hour (that includes a lot of manual work), chatting with A.I. to achieve a result that can be done manually in 15 minutes. And no, it won’t be any faster next time.

Game completed. Virtual Kasparov has been added to my list of favourite #Nintendo #Gameboy Advance games. It’s a rare chess programme where it’s easy to tell the bishop from the pawn at a glance. The story mode is interesting, and the A.I. offers a variety of challenges.

If anyone wants to go to Jean-Michel Jarre's concert in Madrid, Spain at 10 July 2026 – let me know. All tickets are sold out, but I have 3 that I no longer need, since I plan to go to the show in Valencia. On photo: I demonstrate to Jean-Michel my music composed on a Nintendo 3DS with KORG synth.

#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. amp.dascene.net/downmod.php?... #MODtober
