Thomas E. Petersen


Thomas in ~2001

Thomas started composing on the C64 in 1986-87. He was proficient at it right from the beginning, and he made his own player and editor for a few years. At exactly 9 September 1990 he joined Vibrants, although he was already a member of the dutch group Maniacs of Noise.

During the 90's, Thomas went on composing music in trackers as well as MIDI. In 2005 he was bitten by a C64 bug and created a new player for JCH's Music Editor, as well as a brand-new music editor called SID Factory.

Today, he lives in Mårslet, Denmark together with his wife and two kids. He works as a game programmer and have worked with games on e.g. Game Boy Advance, PC / X-Box, and Nintendo GameCube.

Note: Laxity of Vibrants is not to be confused with Laxity of Kefrens, a coder and composer on the Amiga. Vibrants was never in contact with Kefrens and you will not find any of their material on this web site.

How to Play

The boxes in the middle will lead you to the pages with all the music. If you have SidPlay installed on your computer, you can hear the music in the C64 pages right away. If you would rather want to download the SID music for offline pleasure, go to the High Voltage collection.

The AdLib music can be played with a Ganbatte! plug-in for Winamp or XMPlay. It also plays the three tunes that has a 10th digitized track. A few very old tunes are not supported by any known plug-in, but there are links to MP3 versions in this case.

In the page with the FastTracker 2 music, I strongly recommend that you use the XMPlay application. You can use Winamp or ModPlug Player if you want, but none of them will play

all the tunes correctly. XMPlay may also apply cool effects such as e.g. surround sound or reverb.
