with the Apple II, people quickly figured out how to access the speaker and started turning out basic tunes – Commodore introduced the SID chip (MOS 6581) and chiptunes took off – and reached their golden age with the Amiga and Ultimate Soundtracker – mod files exploded and formats proliferated – one of the better known examples, the soundtrack for Deus Ex was done on Impulse Tracker
but it does bring up a nostalgic «where are they now?» – module files didn’t have any metadata components, so creators often edited the names of the samples to provide titles, authors, comments, ASCII art – Baroque of Freelance was out of South Africa, but a lot has happened there in the intervening time, are they even still involved in either computers or music? – KFMF was last seen online in 1999 or 2000 (with random appearances of «I’m bringing the site back» since)
