Description

Electro-pop composer Denis Karimani—professionally known as Remute—has carved a unique niche within retro gaming culture by releasing albums specifically engineered to run on vintage gaming hardware.

With previous music projects tailored to the Super Nintendo Entertainment System (SNES), Commodore 64 (C64), Game Boy, and Sega Mega Drive/Genesis under his belt, Remute now turns his attention to a landmark in computing history: the Commodore Amiga, which marks its 40th anniversary this year. Remute², his latest album, stands as a tribute to this legendary 16-bit home computer.

Uniquely crafted entirely on the Amiga platform, Remute² is not just inspired by Amiga hardware—it's built for it.

The album is optimized for playback on original Amiga machines, most notably the CD32, but is also compatible with the Amiga 1200 and Amiga 4000 models, provided users have a connected CD-ROM drive.

Furthermore, Remute² can be experienced through popular Amiga emulators, ensuring accessibility for fans who may not own vintage hardware. Elevating the listening experience, Remute² is more than a standard audio album.

As the music plays, the Amiga hardware also orchestrates synchronized, real-time visuals.

This fusion of sight and sound underscores the multimedia capabilities that helped the Amiga earn its reputation as a groundbreaking home computer in the late 1980s and early 1990s. A statement in the official press release highlights the Amiga’s impact: the computer was praised for ushering in the concept of 'multimedia,' mesmerizing users with graphics and audio far ahead of its era.

Renowned for its Paula sound chip, the Amiga played a foundational role in the evolution of electronic music—many early acid-house, techno, and rave artists, as well as mainstream producers like Calvin Harris, utilized the Amiga for its signature sounds that defined a generation. Remute² features 15 original tracks that showcase the Amiga’s sonic versatility.

Listeners can expect a mix of catchy electro-pop anthems—such as 'Realm Of Desperation'—alongside energetic French house, industrial techno, and deep ambient soundscapes, all rendered with the distinctive audio texture of the Amiga’s Paula chip. Fans of both retro computing and contemporary electronic music can experience Remute² first-hand, either by booting up their own Amiga systems or through emulation.

In celebration of the Amiga’s milestone anniversary, Remute is scheduled to perform selections from the album live at the Amiga40 event in Germany on October 17, 2025, offering the community a rare opportunity to witness these unique compositions in an authentic setting. Remute² not only honors the Amiga’s enduring legacy but also demonstrates the enduring creativity enabled by vintage hardware.
