Finnish media scholar Markku Reunanen revisits early DIY computer music culture in a newly translated paper on the rise of trackers. Defined by the limited sound capabilities of Commodore and Atari home computers in the 1980s and ’90s, trackers offer a command-based way of making music where audio channels are mapped onto columns—tracks. In his research, first published in Finnish in 2019, Reunanen draws on technical analysis and creator interviews to map a tracker family tree and the paradigm’s wider legacy.
