15. Return of the Tekmann

Listen to Episode

Chiptunes are back in style in the retro scene. On of the people keeping this classic 80s and 90s computer music alive is Tekmann, who does his music on two Gameboys. He avoids doing to much post-work on the tunes he composes and instead prefers letting the real hardware doing the heavy lifting. It’s as real as it gets! Today we meet him in an interview where he talks about his creative approach, his “lone wolf” musician hobby and exactly how much he likes touring… That is when can, as the Corona puts quite a damper on it. You will also get to know why a Dead Mau5 looking super hero outfit is his prefered outfit when performing.Playlist:00:00 Jingle - Top of the hour - Good evening00:10 DJ Daemon introduces the show.00:48 Tekmann - Enigma05:29 DJ Daemon presents Tekmann06:18 Tekmann speaks and the interview starts32:13 Tekmann - Final frontier35:54 DJ Daemon speaks about his music36:36 Tekmann - The trip40:28 DJ Daemon presents his previous album "laser cyborg machine"40:48 Tekmann - Laser destroyer42:57 DJ Daemon talks about Tekmann's album "8bit glitch fiend"43:25 Tekmann - The hunt48:39 DJ Daemon - Talks about the new logo for the show49:20 Tekmann - Jump on54:09 DJ Daemon talks about chiptunes and t55:05 Tekmann - Parallello lane Production notes: Tekmann was suggested to me by Hvrankel, who is a BBS-sysop in the retro world.Colophon:Easy, Tekmann had just released a new album and thus returned to the scene so to speak.
