C64 still alive... wow....
Just bumped upon this site. It's amazing to see that the C64 is still alive after 20 years. Nice to see that Maniacs of Noise is in the top 5 'groups' :)
cheers from Canada

can cdeenen still make good sids?, thats the question... if he cant the legend days is over... to be honest i am pretty much fed up with the "back in time" and "live new orcestra rob hubbard" stuff, if you know what i mean... these legends better start use the c64 again, if not its just better they stay gone, and dont ruin their legend status with the so called new stuff, that are made on todays synths or whatever unintressting instrument...
just my 2 cents |

An old enthusiast is just popping in to say hello and everybody is expecting a full disk with new sids... oh my.
Nice to see that you found this site Charles, too bad you missed the party last weekend! I bet Jeroen Tel and Drax would've loved to see you :)
Hope you pop in more often! |

i expect nothing but if this old enthusiast is gonne make any music, i hope he will start using the c64 again. and not pop up here to show off his new synths, if you know what i mean.. its to much of these legends that show no intresst in the c64 and only are intressting in showing their new stuff, that have nothing to do with the c64... anyway its nice to see him popin here to say hello :) |

@Doc
Although I might even agree with you (with some exceptions and under some circumstances) this was not really the place to raise that point.
Now if your thinking of kidnapping a few of the oldies and throwing them into a closed room with nothing but working c64s, alcohol and pizzas Ill be sure to find a few sponsors for you :)
@Charles
After discovering this website.. maybe I am assuming wrong.. but who knows you do not know anything about sidding in the last 20 years.. so on a long shot.. have you possibly discovered HVSC yet?
Its a huge project containing thousands of sids (also yours):
http://www.hvsc.c64.org/
You can play them on any windows PC using sidplay2

Man Charles, you rocked back in the days (your tunes still do). We asked all the MoN guys that question (and a couple hundred others too), but not sure if we asked you yet:
Did you compose this?
http://www.c64.org/HVSC/DEMOS/UNKNOWN/Ninja_Remix.sid
I've always wondered who in 1988 could compose such a burner tune apart from the usual suspects... |

I like how Charles has listed C64 stuff amongst his works. Plenty of others forget about the old days. |

haha, I can't forget about the old days. The old days of C64 have made me who I am today. If I hadn't done the C64 Lord of the Rings stuff I wouldn't have gotten my first 'full-time' job in the US. I'd probably be struggling in Holland now trying to make it as a programmer or music guy.
As to some of the other requests: sadly, I'll never touch the C64 again. As good as it was for me, I rather leave it be, like good memories.... I still have mine (anybody want it?), but it's been in the same plastic box for 15 years now, ever since I moved in '91 to the US.
Music is not my "thing", never was, never will be. For more info on that, give this a read: http://music4games.net/Features_Display.aspx?id=104 for a good laugh.
As to the question: what do I do in canada ? I'm the studio sr. audio director for EA there. The last projects I've worked on there were the last 3-4 Need for Speed titles.
Funny enough, just met Martin G face to face for the first time in Texas. very ncie guy.
Cheers.

CD: Keep that C64. Just wait enough years from now and you, or your relatives can earn nice bucks for "deeenen's" machine. And if not, you will still have chance to return to the scene. You wouldn't be first... ;-)) |

Hello Charles Deenen,
nfs most wanted has awesome music.. "i am rock" :-)
Concerning your C64... maybe one day your old sid-tunes can be recorded from it, Galway has also done such a Project.
You know, each sid is different, and it actually makes sense to listen to a wav from YOUR machine.
Until then, keep it packaged and away from NTSC-Power etc.
Have Fun,
Zed Yago

Hi,
well, considering I gave my Atari and Amiga to Dave Perry, it's time to move my C64 as well. It's just gathering dust honestly.
But instead of selling it, I want to give it to a place where C64 music is commemorated. I tried to get Jeroen to give up his as well, but he says "never" :)

hallelujah, jeroen is still kicking it on the sid (he won last years x2008 music compo)
It's a shame you dont want to anymore. But still awesome to see you here, we are all big fans of your c64 work :)
Quote:Music is not my "thing", never was, never will be.
Au contraire!
"That's the way it is" and "Mantalos" are two of the greatest SID tunes ever concieved (just to name two).
And I will duke it out with anyone who dares to disagree :-D
PS : Just imagine the lucky guy who someday might have both "Maniacs of Noise" c64's in his posession. Eternal bliss.

I agree with Zed Yago couldn't you loan your breadbox for someone trustworthy to record your SIDs (properly) from your machine.
And/or maybe Lord Knightmare could also make a filter curve of it for reSID-FP. :) I'm sure it could be arranged.
You missed also Steppe's question:
"Did you compose this http://www.c64.org/HVSC/DEMOS/UNKNOWN/Ninja_Remix.sid"
Respect to the man! :) |

I agree this would be very nice :) .mp3s for everyone to download the way the tunes are supposed to sound :) |

EA? Development-only, or do you have any input on games that EA publishes as well? The reason I ask is because you'd be twice the legend you already are to me if you have had any input or work on the Rock Band series of games (dev'd by Harmonix but pub'd by EA) =) |
