A thought ..
Hi all,
i was thinking about a idea i had a the other day while i was on http://remix.kwed.org. You all might know the site, its a c64 remixer platform with nice rating and commenting system. The whole thing is linked with http://www.remix64.com/ and forms a great community platform for the entire c64 remixing scene (strictly mp3 and studio-driven or vst based remixes). Ive submitted a couple of remixes there myself.
The reason im mentioning this is, i am missing something like this for the native c64 composing scene. Im sure there are plenty of people out there who still compose natively on the c64 (or emulator / goattracker).
You might say, we allready have HVSC. Dont get me wrong, HVSC is great and i highly admire and value the work the guys have done there.
The thing is, HVSC is kind of static. More recent composers are usually just an extension to the VARIOUS/... branch of the next HVSC update. If im not in a curious mood, i seldomly go wandering through the various branch unless im looking for something specific.
It would even be a great addition to things like HSVSC and CSDB if connected similar to remix.kwed.org and c64remix.com.
I was actually thinking about trying to set up something myself, with some PHP & MySQL implementation (im a half decent PHP coder). Im not sure though if a project like this isnt a little to ambitious for one person.
I would like to hear a few opinions about something like this from other sid related folks. So if anyone feels like discussing the idea i would be happy to hear from you.
Cheers |

I've started thinking about this again. I've been into C# / asp.net develompent workwise alot lately.
I thought I might practice a bit at home (Also with some AJAX) and I remembered this idea I had a couple of years ago.

Ok, i will tell my old plan now, since joe has awakened the topic.
1 year ago i registered www.sidwave.com
for a purpose very similar to this.
the original plan was made in 2000 as an exam project for which i got max grade. (there was a minimal website, with all basic features)
but it has floated to think it through, and form the prototype, down in a document, so it gets solid..
as i read Joe's post, i realize, it will be foolish to attempt to make it by myself, coz i have so many things to do and it will take too long.
well, so here goes:
sidwave - the home of c64 composers
purpose: spreading and networking around the music created
features:
artist profile
downloads
radio shows
community, best elements of facebook techniques
forums:
sound creation
music theory/technique/composing
players (coding, use of)
editors (coding, use of)
competitions, theme based, freestyle
and much much more
all that we can think of
To get this baby going, we need:
1) hosting
2) php coders (i volunteer)
Phase 1: implementation of basic features, like:
artist profile
upload/download
forum
if we just go 1.0 with these 3 things, then the ball is rolling.
Phase 2: integration with hvsc and csdb
Phase 3: the rest of the features
RFC ? |

Update: Joe and me started the initial brainstorming phase.
If you sit out there and feel you can do or want to do something in a project like this, mail joe or me. |

Well, i'm still working on it and there isnt any seperated dev/test/live environment. Bare with me.
I took the faulting module out. Should work now. But intermittent server errors are bound to happen due to dev/bugfix process. |
