"The world’s most incredible journey of a tiny, tiny file
1. The Casio VZ sound bank was programmed by myself, naturally, on the front panel of my Casio VZ-1.
2. I later sold these sounds on 3,5″ Atari floppy disks and I think I had at a maximum 2 or 3 buyers of the soundbank, ever.
3. I worked from my apartement in the utterly small town of Gnesta, Sweden, with the address Stora Torget 1, 646 31 Gnesta. This was my first own address after having moved out of my parents’ home.
4. 18 years later I find the file on the internet.
5. The file is hosted somewhere in the United States.
I just find this incredibly amusing.
6. Naturally, the copying of the file originally was an illegal act. Given the historic event and how amusing I find this, I must say, that this utterly criminal act hereby is utterly forgiven. Seen as how it all flew back to myself, I would, incredibly enough even say that I salute the poor soul who did this. Even though I spent several months working intensively with programming the data, using such a totally confusing system as the Casio VZ-1 is, to do it.
7. Since I even had lost the backup of the file myself, the sound bank is now fully in the hands of the Public Domain."
You can find the sound bank on BITLEY here.
Bitley link is dead. Was hoping to get some different sounds. Is there a new link?
