Hello everyone,
I'm not a musician nor a chiptune expert, so I unfortunately have nothing to propose.
I recently was listening to Jean-Baptiste Lully's "Marche pour la cérémonie des Turcs" and was wondering what a chiptune translation would sound like.
I'm not talking about a remix, but how it would sound if someone tried to make a faithful rendition using limited instruments, like the SID chip on the C64, or the OPL2/3 on a Soundblaster, etc…If anyone here is ready to seriously take this challenge, I would be happy to hear about it and give my point of view.
Best regards to everyone.
You should make one. The closest thing I can find is this remix\cover: http://freemusicarchive.org/music/Bacal … nie_turque
Also, then there's this gem right here. It sounds like Wendy Carlos pretty much.

Many '82-'84 era C64 games used classical pieces, some of it baroque. Mainly (I assume) because it was out of copyright but also the SID chip was one of the few home machines at the time that could do multi-voice music. The tracks back then were usually quite literal note conversions without much attention paid to dynamics, or animation in the instrumentation. A lot of that tech wasn't fully explored until Rob Hubbard etc. started working on there.
