You remember the amigacrew Uprough! which I’ve mentioned on this blog? Said group organised a demoparty in Göteborg last week called DataStorm2010. A few weeks earlier I got an email from Louie / TBL asking if I could supply him with music for a C64 demo due to datastorm that he was working on together with Pantaloon / Fairlight. I know I’m Razor 1911 but old rivalry gets boring (and I already broke that rule by making a chip-coop with Bliss / Fairlight on Hype2003). So that was never a problem.
The problem was rather that I never made a SID in my life since i’m all about Atari. So I gave Zabutom a call and due to lack of time we decided to do a remake of my old gameboy electro house tune from 2007 called C’etait mieux en RDA (wich is a mix of Sector 1A to 1D on album with said name). I re-tracked the song with FTII using c64 limitations, or well more or less, and gave it to zabutom who got killer sid skills. He then recomposed the whole thing on commodore and gave it some zabutom touch in the process and the result got lovely. Honestly Zabutom I never heard such a nice SID basedrum in my life of work (and if I have I don’t know where I heard it!)
And the demo? Kickass as expected with such a great lineup as louie and pantaloon.
all Datastorm 2010 released are available for free download here
cool that you’re posting this! really enjoyed making this tune, but unfortunately due to the hard memory/size limitations of the C64 i feel that it’s not all that it could be. here’s a video with better sound and video sync: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8lTNh0LAhxg
fixat, tack för huvudet up!
great work! but I cant find a way to extract the sid from the demo… would it be available somewhere? thx
Gee! I’ve tried everything to extract sid from demo. I even extracted prg files. But I dunno how to dump them properly to pick sid music out. Hope it will be included into the next HVSC update
zabutom, is it possible to find that tune somewhere else?
Patience. It will very very soon be relased on a Remix EP here on Data Airlines including remixes by gem tos, misfitchris and Oai Star!
Finally! It is in HVSC!
