Here is a recording of my Atari 8bit POKEY cover of "Sporting Chance" by Odie/Cosine, the music which has been used for all
of the C64 versions of the puzzle game 'Blok Copy' apart from the
PETSCII version.
The Atari 8bit version of 'Blok Copy' was released by
Cosine in 2018 as a contribution to the 'New Years Disk' collection
arranged on the AtariAge forum. Information about and a download for the game and music can be found here. The music was written in RASTER Music Tracker.

Uridium 2 Music Covers (SID vs. POKEY)
Here are my C64 SID and Atari 8bit POKEY covers of Jason Page's loading music from the amazing
Amiga game 'Uridium 2' by Andrew Braybrook.
The SID version was written and released in 2015 as part of a C64 music collection called 'SID Doing Paula', a collection of Amiga mod covers written in Goattracker. It was a 'hidden' bonus tune. The SID has been recorded using a 8580 SID C64c run through my Dolby amp. Information about the original C64 collection is here...
The POKEY triple speed cover was released in 2018 as part of the 'New Years Disk' collection arranged on the AtariAge forum. It was written in RASTER Music Tracker so I could get my head around the POKEY chip. The original Atari 8bit demo in which the tune is featured is here...
The original Amiga version can be found on SoundCloud and YouTube.

Matkamies Recording
Back at the beginning of 2015, Arkanix Labs released a music collection called 'Sid Doing Paula', that contained my covers of some of my favourite Amiga modules.
Part of that collection was a SID called Matkamies by Heatbeat/Carillon and having recently hooked up my 8580 SID equipped C64c to my Dolby amp, I've recorded the SID tune and uploaded it to my SoundCloud account.
As a bonus, I've also uploaded an Atari 8bit POKEY version of the same tune. At time of writing, it has not yet been used in any productions. It was written at the back end of 2017 after T.M.R requested some POKEY music for an Atari 8bit Cosine game, namely 'Blok Copy'. I had to learn a new application for writing for POKEY, as well as the nuances of the chip itself and out of that learning came the requested music, as well as this 'conversion' of my original Matkamies SID.
The SID version was written in Goattracker and the POKEY written in RASTER Music Tracker. The original Amiga version can be found on YouTube - just search for 'Amiga Matkamies'.

Blok Copy
Along with 'DYCP 2018', Cosine has released Blok Copy for Atari 8bit. This game has appeared on various formats over the years. For the Atari version, T.M.R asked me to cover the tune 'Sporting Chance' by Odie/Cosine, the music which has been used for all of the different versions, apart from the PETSCII version.
This Atari version of 'Blok Copy' was a contribution to the 'New Years Disk' collection arranged on the AtariAge forum. I covered the music using the excellent RASTER Music Tracker and is one of my first POKEY's.
The game containing the music can be downloaded from the Cosine website here...

DYCP 2018
Along with 'Blok Copy' for Atari 8bit, Cosine has released an Atari 8bit demo called 'DYCP 2018', a contribution to the 'New Years Disk' collection arranged on the AtariAge forum. Don't be fooled by the C64 boot screen in the image below - it's actually an Atari posing as a C64!
The music is a 'triple speed' tune and was written by me using the excellent RASTER Music Tracker; it is one of my first POKEY's, along with the music from the Atari 8bit version of Blok Copy.
The music is actually a cover of a cover of an original track by Jason Page (the loading music from the amazing Amiga game 'Uridium 2' by Andrew Braybrook). I covered this tune on the C64 SID back in 2015 for the 'SID Doing Paula' music collection and the POKEY version is a cover of this SID version.
The demo containing the music can be downloaded from the Cosine website here...
