I have no idea when I actually produced “First Techno Attempt” as the date on the file says December 2nd 1997, which is wrong as by then I had produced a lot of songs that I would have considered to be “techno”.

I believe I mostly completed this late in 1995 and only added the choir intro in 1996, which explains signing the song as PoC, because while I created this song originally, I still went by the handle “PCi”.

To best fit with the chronology and development of my music abilities, I therefore date “First Techno Attempt” to November 28th 1995.

Regarding the song’s title, please don’t mind that the song isn’t in the “techno” genre by any stretch of the imagination. To me and most of my friends back in the mid 1990’s, “techno” was just a synonym for “electronic music”.

I remember being quite happy about this song back when I produced it, and I quite like it to this day as well.

This unconventional 3-channel chiptune was created with Scream Tracker 3 in February 1996. Shared and published, not for pride, but for brevity.

In this happy S3M, I used more chip-sounding samples again. Combined with the limit of 3 channels (just like on the C64), and sizing in at less than 9 kB, I think "Stop The Violence!" properly qualifies as a chip-tune.

By late 1995 I was mostly tracking in Scream Tracker 3 and "Tiny Chip's Revenge" was my first completed chip tune produced as an S3M.

The track was produced during Christmas of 1995 for a diskmag called "Ultramag #1", but I have no idea what happened to it, who was going to make it, or whether it was ever made.

Unreleased as it seemingly were, I entered the chip tune into the Solskogen 2017 Oldskool Music Competition under the name "Ferris III Y.O." as a nod of admiration and pull of leg to @ferristootsnow only being 3 years old when it was produced. As noted in the file info of the Solskogen entry:

> The sole thing I achieve is proving how awesome he is and how lame I am, though. I’m quite certain Ferris could make better music than this when he was 15 years old. So infinite amounts of love and respect to Ferris! <3

And I still stand firmly by those words. :)

(Sorry for Mastodon murdering the sound quality.)
