about

I've been super productive and creative lately. Apparently the genre of my arrangements is called #bitpop. This track was done with C64 sounds exclusively.

My new arrangement, again with William Yang's vocals but this time with an unabashedly #chiptune sound. This track is done only with with the sounds of the Commodore 64 MOS-6581 Sound Interface Device (SID) chip. Renoise was used to build this piece and give me as many C64's as I needed and processing effects.

One of the things that I and other C64 programmer/musicians struggled with was generating percussion that actually sounds like percussion. Very few purists such as Martin Galway even took a stance against using percussion as they thought it wasn't to the quality that they wanted. Most others found interesting wavetable methods of generating better percussive sounds.
