Nowadays you can “emulate” almost any old videogame titles on about any electronic device. Therefore it gets easier, for the nostalgic ones like myself, to access vintage sounds and videogames. I loaded Space Invader into an old generation gaming console, played a few games while sampling the sound output straight into my Digitakt sampler. The next step was chopping the recorded audio material into individual sounds, which I could then play chromatically and/or rhythmically using Digitakt’s “keyboard” and sequencer. Sampling directly from an old analog device makes a whole difference: sounds are warmer and lofi. Some of the sounds were heavily tweaked to obtain more interesting and melodic results, some others were left almost untouched; this is clearly audible in the Space Invaders finished track.
