Commodore 64 Breaks Down The Beats

Following the floppy drive symphony I featured earlier this week, Technik recommended this video to me: A Commodore 64 being used to render authentic 8-bit sound from the 80’s. The C64 was my first computer, so it’s impressive to see it still being used and sounding better than a lot of other mixes.

Live demo of one of my songs.
Bassline is played by an good old C64 equipped with Cynthcart.
Tune is called “we ain’t finished yet” and has been featured on DEAD PIXELS long play.

In 2009 I began experimenting with SID chiptune (built-in sound generator chip of Commodore 64), and Cynthcart to create a blend of original 8bit sound from the 80’s and Rock music.
