Hi there! I am Ozzed. I'm going to assume you're here for any or all of these reasons:
If any or all of the above is correct, you've come to the right place. And if not... Well... You should stay and have a look around in case you'll stumble upon something you like.
I am a chiptune composer from Sweden. I enjoy making 8-bit music and sharing it with everyone for free. I've been fascinated with the genre ever since I was a kid, and ever since this project started, my goal has been to make my music as freely available as possible, for both new audiences and people who already know and love the genre.
You should care because the music is licensed under Creative Commons (with the exception of comissioned projects where an exclusive license was chosen), which means that you are free to use, distribute and modify the music however you see fit, So, you can use my music in your games, for your youtube-videos, presentations, as background music in your store, elevator music, training videos et cetera et cetera, as long as I am credited as the composer, preferably with a link back to this website. And, though not a requirement, I really enjoy when people let me know how my music is used. Tell me, and I will share it on Facebook and Twitter, and if you want I'll put a link to your project on my Links-page, giving you some extra publicity.
Once again, enjoy your stay! I hope you will find something you like, and do let me know if you have any questions; I'll be happy to help! :)
Latest addition: Crystal Caves HD Original Soundtrack..
Below is a list of my latest news-announcements. For a full list, visit the News-page
I have now added the expansion audio chips for the nintendo Famicom to the guide, so now you can find information about the Nintendo MMC5, the Nintendo FDS for the Famicom Disk System, the Konami VRC6, Konami VRC7 and the Namco 163 directly on the "how to make 8-bit music"-page.
I have now added the SEGA Master System and the Game Gear to the guide, so go check it out if you want to know more about the sound chips used for those systems :)
Hello everyone! It's the holiday season, so I made an NES-cover of "O Tannenbaum (O Christmas Tree) :) You will find it on the Site Releases page. Happy Holidays everyone! :)
After a frustrating delay I'm happy to anounce that Crystal Caves HD is now available on Spotify, and
most other streaming services. The delay has been due to long handling times over at CDBaby and is
understandable given the current state of things, but now it's finally on Soptify and is also rollong
out on other streaming services. Enjoy!
Hi everyone! I know I have kept quiet for what seems like forever, but that does not mean that I haven't been busy working on new music! :) I have had the honor to compose the original soundtrack for the upcoming Crystal Caves HD. The game will launch on Steam and GOG on Ocrober 15th, and I have gotten permission from Apogee to release the soundtrack on Bandcamp and Youtube initially, with the hope to release it to more services eventually.
It will not be a Creative Commons release as an exclusive license was chosen for the project, and while I prefer to do Creative Commons-based comissions, I feel that this was an opportunity I could not pass up, so apologies to everyone whe would have liked that. You can however rest assured that all of my own projects will always be Licensed under creative commons. That will never change.
You can enjoy the trailer for the game here while whaiting for the release and sountrack. More updates soon!
Is the page you are looking at right now. This mainly serves as a descriptive table of contents for the rest of the site as well as some general information about why I'm doing this. You'll also find some links to other places on the web where you can find my music. It also gives you the 5 latest news posts.
Is where you listen to and download my free 8-bit and chiptune music, both Albums and "Site Exclusive" releases are available, and all content where I am the original composer is licensed under Creative Commons. Everything can be downloaded directly from the site, And for the albums you also have the option to download torrents, which are also hosted on the site. I used to host them on The Pirate Bay, but due to constant DDOS-attacks I feel that the site is no longer reliable, so I'm hosting the torrents directly on this site instead.
Do note however that in the case of comissioned projects where an exclusive license was chosen, the music does not come with a Creative Commons-license, and downloads are not available, but don't worry, in such cases it will be clearly stated on the album page to avoid any confusion.
Is where you find the latest updates from me regarding what's going on with my music and the site in general. This is in no way a "blog" or anything like it, but merely a place where you can get the latest news.
If you want to make your own 8-bit music or chiptune music, you want to check this out. I believe that knowledge should be shared so I wrote down some general guidelines on making 8-bit music, chiptunes, and so forth. The guide mainly focuses on the Nintendo Entertainment System and Famicom with its different, expansion audio chips, such as the Nintendo MMC5, the Nintendo FDS for the Famicom Disk System, the Konami VRC6, Konami VRC7 and the Namco 163, as that is where I have most of my experience, but there's also information about the Commodore64, Amiga 500, the Nintendo Game Boy, the SEGA Master System and the Game Gear, as well as a basic guideto the different waveforms typically used when making 8-bit music, and the different effects you can useto modify the sound. I also talk a bit about different software you can use to make the music. You can alsofind my Spotify playlist "8-bit, chiptunes, bitpop" here, which features a wide variety of styles that fit within the genre so it's a great source of inspiration and a great asset if you want a good insight into what is possible to compose within the genre. If you feel like something should be added to the guide, drop me a message! :)
My music is and always will be completely free, but if you would like to know about different ways you can support what I do, this is where you want to go.
