Dug out of the dusty archives

In the link this is described as being composed in 1994, but that's wrong. I've since come across the oldest copy on cassette tape, dated 1991.

For some unknown reason I never formally released it anywhere. At that time I was using an Acorn Archimedes computer running the Inspiration sequencer, linked to a Yamaha SY22 - all long gone
However I still had the MIDI file, so loaded this into Rosegarden linked to Yoshimi.

This is the revised version.

Soothing... Glad you resuscitated this, thanks!

I had a BBC model B and a Music 500 Synthesiser back in '84 or '85. I didn't get much chance to use it before I moved overseas but It was fun for a while.

Lovely composition, and it's certainly got the trademark Folderol/Yoshimi sound.

We should be thankful for the longevity of both MIDI and Compact Cassettes. I have a few cassettes recorded in the late '70s which are still quite playable.

Good work

Thanks folks. Glad hit hits the spot.
@seismic1 I had the BBC B/Music500 combi too back in the day
The Ample language was interesting as well. Unfortunately it disappeared without trace
