HARMONIOUS BITS AND MONKEY PAJAMAS

José A. Martín



 

In today's world, video games have achieved nearly lifelike levels of image and sound perfection. Players interact with virtual people and play in community settings. But that's not all; soundtracks are specifically composed for this industry, often recorded by symphony orchestras and tailored to every moment of the action. Given this context, it’s hard to imagine how it all began—with an archaic, basic, simple system that was, paradoxically, extremely complicated to implement due to its lack of resources. All this effort was to create endless notes, either solo or at most in three-part harmony, that accompanied us on adventures during the boom of video game consoles and personal computers.


Dinamic was undoubtedly one of the most active video game companies during the wild and fast-paced '80s, creating numerous games with their own musical themes. The young pioneers of those early years will show you how it all came together, through anecdotes, private jokes about monkey pajamas, travels, and fun, all while balancing intense work. This was an era of technological advancements, vibrant pop culture, and significant changes. They pushed the sound chip to its limits, chasing better audio sequences composed and performed via computer commands or machine code. These musical scores were then integrated into those video games, leaving an indelible mark on us.


This is the detailed, first-person story of a Dinamic musician and his harmonic bits.
