Reawakening is the first chiptune album by TDK. Mark started writing music using computer sound chips in 1984 on the Commodore 64, and started releasing tunes under the psuedonyme TDK on the Commodore Amiga in the early 90's with the popular demoscene groups Anthrox and Melon Dezign.

These are his first chiptunes since retiring from the 'demoscene' in 1993 having written tracks for the likes of Anthrox and Melon Dezign, to focus on composing music for video games such as Warhammer: Dark Omen, Duke Nukem: Total Meltdown, Populous: The Beginning and Dungeon Keeper 2. Mark decided in 2011 that the time was right to bring the name TDK out of retirement to create this album, utilising not only the tricks of the chiptune trade 20 years ago, but modern chiptune and music production techniques, whilst keeping in mind the channel restrictions of days gone by.

Reawakening was written using 2 Commodore 64's with the MSSIAH cartridge, a Commodore Amiga 1200, Elektron SIDStation, ReFX QuadraSID and Plogue Chipsounds.
