Commodore 64: 8 Bit Legend
Author: Zeldin - written on 19.09.2012

Bah... seems I am not able to post something regularly... at least not even once a year :-(

I am currently writing on my second novel, and don't find time for C64 activities, which is really sad. Next year we'll have 25th anniversary of Cascade, and I really want to make some little celebration demo around this happening, but I am afraid, it will be a tough nut to find some free minutes for squeezing a bunch of pixels, code and music into a file.
Well, we'll see...

Anyway... today I finally felt to post something, not only for giving the front page look a deserved change, but to make sure you won't miss the following youtube vid, which is really impressive. A brilliant and contemporary commercial for our good old and beloved breadbox.
So here we go...

01.05.2026 - Microtonal SID Music? Angine de Poitrine Bassline in C64 BASIC - video by '8-Bit Show And Tell'
Angine de Poitrine's microtonal math rock has taken Youtube by storm. Some SID covers of their music prompted the question: can the SID actually play microtonal music? Some say "no", but we'll prove them wrong by recreating the bassline from AdP's song "Sarniezz" in humble Commodore 64 BASIC. We'll learn some music theory along the way, such as what A440 and "standard tuning" mean, along with "equal temperament", 24TET, along with some C64 theory such as the differences between PAL and NTSC when it comes to SID tuning, and a lot more.
