Rediscovered this odd Gem from Bram Bros 1999-
Designed partly as a joke with ‘built-in’ limitations…
From a HitSquad Interview in 2000-
**Q. What happened to The Moonfish project?
It didn’t seem to capture the public imagination as successfully as Hammerhead.**
It was never intended to be a serious project. Actually I was already developing Tuareg when I made Moonfish. It started out as a joke. Someone on a mailinglist mentioned he still thought it was a challenge to create songs on his old 4-channel Amiga tracker. Everyone laughed at him, but actually it made me think: “why not try to create a tool that has ridiculously silly limitations, but is still fun to use?” That seemed like a challenge to me and that’s the idea that became Moonfish. MoFi was made in less than a week and that shows. Still I think it was a cool joke. And apparently some weirdos in the world do cool stuff with it…
He also apparently created it to have the ability to go 1230 BPMs from an email from somebody named ‘ZAP’ that was supposed to have been talking about 230 BPMs but must’ve hit the 1+2 to end up with 1230 BPM…So Moonfish was then designed to attain 1230 BPM…Part of the joke…
Looks to be a great contender for a Challenge Tracker…I certainly am gonna ‘tune it’ as I have never heard anything done in it…
