Loek van Kooten to judge Scene Music Remake Challenge

On December 23rd we started the MRC Scene Music Remake chalenge. Last week, we extended the deadline to March 5th. With less than three weeks to go, the time has come to announce the juror of the challenge: Loek van Kooten.

In the 1990's Loek van Kooten was the initiator of LoVaKo software which later merged with MSX-Futurist in order to become MSX Engine, an MSX group known from -amongst others- their Dragon Disk diskmagazine, their hardware and software import activities and their games Dizzy, Dix and DASS. MSX Engine later moved on to become Engine Software. Loek van Kooten did not join Engine Software however, but started his own translation company called Akebono. As Galbatron, Loek released several albums with synthesizer tracks, including the synthesized soundtrack to DASS.

With the MRC Scene Music Remake Challenge you can win an MSX T-Shirt or a chiptune record composed by the Japanese chiptune artist BeepBoy. Find out all about the competition right here.
