Music · Soundtrack
The Nineties Game
Six techno tracks written for 3D Crackanoid Ultra, the 1999 brick breaker reborn in real 3D. 112 to 138 BPM, every one rooted in A — drive, strings, choir and brass over a four-on-the-floor kick. Each track belongs to a world in the game and loops seamlessly while you play.
Hear it in the game
3D Crackanoid Ultra runs on iPhone, iPad, Mac, Apple TV and Android. The MUSIC item in the menu turns the soundtrack on; each world plays its own track.

From the first scale to the groove
Marty Ivy writes the curriculum in MusicTrainerPro: scales, chords, arpeggios and styles, each exercise with its own sheet music — and tablature for the fretted instruments. Every course is shaped for its instrument, in its range, in its home key.
