A song for the MSX2 computer called "Starlight", which I created in Moonblaster in 1994.

It uses both the MSX-Audio (Philips Music Module) and MSX-Music (FM-PAC) sound expansion cards to create the FM stereo effect that was typical for this era of MSX computing and that I like a lot.

This was one of my last songs before I moved to the more advanced Moonsound soundcard which was launched at that time. The sound in the beginning is a sample I made from my Casio keyboard. 'Starlight' uses some nice FM instruments, in general it has a good sound to it. There are some nice pieces but you have to be patient because the main part is also a bit repetitive.

Moonblaster is one of my favorite music (tracker) programs of all time. This program and its predecessor FAC Soundtracker started a boom of creativity from hobby groups in The Netherlands and elsewhere, creating music on this wonderful 8-bit computer.

The recording was made using the openMSX emulator.
