The music down these links was made mostly from 2002 to 2004 on a desktop PC running Cakewalk Home Studio 2002 (around $80); a few tracks come from 2005 and 2019, made on related Sonar software. Everything including the percussion parts was written out on staff then tweaked for placement and velocity to get it off the grid. On the earlier tracks, except for the occasional snippet of a wav file, all the sounds are General Midi from whatever sound chip was on the card, a Yamaha something possibly, or were cooked up on the included virtual synthesizer; later pieces run more sophisticated but not necessarily more useful plug-in samples. Nothing was "performed."
