The signal begins
I grew up in Málaga with 80s electronic music on the radio and the sound of an Amstrad CPC filling the room. In 1995, Scream Tracker 3 opened the door to making my own computer music.
Since 2011 I have composed chiptunes with Arkos Tracker for Amstrad CPC and ZX Spectrum games and demos. I am also a founding member and resident musician of 4MHz, creating new games for old and modern machines.
McKlain is a personal project, made for the joy of making music. I do not offer professional services, but I am always open to interesting conversations, collaborations and licensing enquiries.
Two sides of the same signal

Melody under pressure: chiptune made on real constraints, widescreen synthwave and soundtracks for worlds that fit in 64K.
