Ah, okay. There are some players for .SID-files too. I don't know much about them.
Can't test atm, but perhaps this? http://csdb.dk/release/?id=101736

There are many native C64-players that have similar features, but most of them are a bit picky with what music you give them iirc. One example is JCH's Delux Driver: http://noname.c64.org/csdb/release/?id=21335

I made a cassette release before it was hip! Or uuh, after it was hip? Or...but... well, it was in 2000 anyway.

I used to use JCH to perform live. It sucks, but it's possible. You can hear it in a release I made called Bortabra. But now I use Defmon. You can use it to make everything from scratch live if you want to. Here's a video of me and my 3 clones doing just that: http://blip.tv/raquel-meyers/2sleep1-005-exedub-5546878 (warning: not edited)

Great find, thanks for sharing! These are some of the heaviest names in computer music, cybernetics and all that at the time. I've added it to this gigantic time line: http://chipflip.wordpress.com/timeline

50 pence = 20% song

Whatever he charges, I charge less!! PM me now!!!

99% of electronic musicians don't like the genre that 99% of people place them in.

+ it's worth checking out modern genre theory. it's not as simple as just analyzing sound frequencies, you know.

so you make music with chiptune?

going for self-promotion here:

http://chipflip.org/02 is 66 minutes long.
perhaps more rhythms than an ambient-purist would like.

it's all C64 though. but hopefully that doesn't matter.

sounds like a challenge for the HVSC-boys! afaik, sidplayers emulate more or less the whole C64 these days, right?

I can recommend the book Retromania - pop culture's addiction to its own past. It's written by a music journalist who's pretty smart. Basically argues that pop culture is having a crisis much like an economic one and most ppl who live in that culture are affected by it. It's not a personal thing, it's cultural.

Lazerdavid - there's also a specific part about Japan.

PS. I took the survey and I loved it.

MikeDI: I realise you're only doing your job. I'm grateful that you're still active in the thread. But I can't help it: I think it's funny that you can't even share a playlist to the people whose music creates your channel. smile
