This is my experimental first attempt at using the sounds from an Atari 2600. I hope you enjoy this blast from a further past.
This is truly an experimental piece.
Trying my hand at Bitpop using the TIA Chip from the late 70's Atari 2600(VCS) home console.
This is back in the day as an assembly programmer you had to sync your code to the electron beam of the CRT to render anything.
Apart from using a custom sound chip like Pitfall-II did, even with audio you "raced the beam" to modulate the squeaky sound channels of TIA chip.
It time to race the beam......
Made with reckless abandon + love,
Gav.

The paranoia is in bloom, the P-R
Transmissions will resume
They'll try to push drugs
That keep us all dumbed down and hope that
We will never see the truth around
(So come on)
Another promise, another scene,
Another package lie to keep us trapped in greed
With all the green belts wrapped around our minds
And endless red tape to keep the truth confined
(So come on)
They will not force us
They will stop degrading us
They will not control us
We will be victorious
(So come on)
Interchanging mind control
Come let the revolution take its toll if you could
Flick a switch and open your third eye, you'd see that
We should never be afraid to die
(So come on)
Rise up and take the power back, it's time that
The fat cats had a heart attack, you know that
Their time is coming to an end
We have to unify and watch our flag ascend
(So come on)
They will not force us
They will stop degrading us
They will not control us
We will be victorious
(So come on)
Hey, hey, hey, hey
Hey, hey, hey, hey
Hey, hey, hey, hey
They will not force us
They will stop degrading us
They will not control us
We will be victorious
(So come on)
Hey, hey, hey, hey
I was a demoscene programmer back in the 80s on the Commodore 64 computer. Part of what I did was write a sound player to
exploited tricks to make its sound chip to some conceptually far fetched tricks.
Years later, I've revived my musical bent for the C64 but now I combine modern songs with these sounds of one of the greatest sounding computers of any generation....more
