The tune was directly sampled from my C64 machine. Check it out on your real hardware at http://csdb.dk/release/?id=120671

"Juliet End" was composed on a real hardware C64 with 8580 SID chip. The tune is used as the ending theme in our C64 DTV demo "Outtakes" by TRSi for the Mixed Demo Compo at Nordlicht 2013 in Bremen.  The C64 DTV has no real SID chip, it's emulating the SID sound, has no filter and other sound issues. I have no possibility to get the demo onto a real DTV, so I recorded the music from a real SID.
The screenshot is taken from the end part of the demo.

!Cube did a great job by remixing my tune "Outpost" on the Atari ST!
The soundchip of the Atari ST (YM2149F) can produce three voices of square waves and has one noise generator. !Cube also composed a few new leads and fine details into the tune. Awesome work!

What !Cube says about his remix:
"A remix of an awesome tune on the Commodore 64 by dEViLOCk/Arsenic. I stumbled into it accidentally while browsing through the High Voltage SID Collection and immediately fell in love. Thank you Peter for letting me remix it. The tune is included in my music demo Meet !Cube.
Editor: maxYMiser
Release date: SillyVenture 2012"

!Cube - Outpost (Atari ST remix)

Released at Maximum Overdose 10 Demoparty in Lübeck, 28.12. - 30.12.2012.
Original tune was composed by Rob Hubbard for the C64 game "Lightforce" by Faster Than Light in 1987.

For my version of the tune I used a Roland SPD-11 drum machine and a DSI Prophet '08 PE analog synthesizer.
Arranged in Apple Logic. No additional effects/tools/plugins/VSTis (like compressors or limiters) used to keep the sound as organic as it comes out of the Prophet '08.

I started with my Version of Lightforce in the year 2000, I think. I was never really satisfied with the sounds or the arrangement. When I got  the DSI Prophet '08 in 2009, I started with a real analogue version of the tune. IMHO an analog synth version is the only way to live up to expectations for Rob Hubbard's masterpiece.
So, here it is finally. :-)

"Quicksand" by Endbass is my submission for the polyend tracker challenge (more info here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Jc_6bMTdpYM). There are more than 220 submissions in this Compo, so let's see how far I get with this little tune. :-)
The tune was composed and mastered in Logic Pro X. The only plugin I used was the built in sampler from Logic Pro X in which I loaded the samples that I was allowed to use within the contest.
For effects and mastering I used the onboard plugins of Logic Pro X.
This track is also my debut for my new Project "Endbass", which will be about experimental electronic music in general, not only Chiptunes like do with the dEViLOCk Project.
So, I hope you enjoy the track and download it for your pleasure! ^__^

This tune won the „insane combined music competion“ at Nordlicht 2020 demoparty. Dedicated to Ultrasyd who passed away in october 2020. Rest in peace!
This song was originally composed for a C64 DTV demo*. As we did not manage to release it I decided to finalize the tune for the „Notlicht 2020 insane combined music competition“.
The 3 voices of the #C64 #8580 #sid were directly recorded into Logic Pro X from the real machine with a #8580r5 SID chip.
Then I added a #behringermodeld in the beginning for some filtered bass sound and a #waldorfstreichfett for chords and a string in the beginning. The drums are the original C64 drums mixed with some drums from #nativeinstrumentsbattery .
For the #acousticguitar outro I recorded my playing with the excellent #harleybenton CLG-650SM-CE BK. In this little video I mixed some clips from the #commodore64 and #logicprox .
*the #c64dtv cannot handle hard restart of notes and has no filter like the original C64. The only filtered sound you hear is in the beginning, it‘s the deep bass drone from the Behringer Model D.
Thanks for reading 😃

dEViLOCk is a composer located near Bremen, Germany, who is well known from the C64 and PC demo scenes. The varied style of his music is influenced not only by progressive rock bands, punk and metal but also classical music, jazz and synth pop of the 80's.

He began composing music on computers in 1989 on the Commodore 64 and joined the cracking- and demo groups Cyberpunx, Talent, 711, Tristar & Red Sector Incorporated and X-Rated and made some demo and intro music, game music, sound fx and won some competitions along the way too. The C64 was the root of all his computer music and he still uses it to produce original C64 chip tunes or to use the sounds of the C64 SID chip in professional music productions. He is currently a member of the C64 demo groups Arsenic, Performers and Oxyron.

In 1993 dEViLOCk got his first IBM PC and started to compose music with so called trackers like Fasttracker. In the late 90's and the beginning of the new millennium his music was used in many professional productions like cinematic trailers, radio commercials, web pages and presentations for agencies. dEViLOCk plays E-bass, electric- and acoustic guitar and drums on acoustic sets and also his e-drumset. Since he was 15 he played these instruments on stage in several bands like Beefcurtain (grungepunk-metal) and Mampfdampfer (crossover).

Nowadays he uses a PC, a MAC and several external hardware and real instruments to compose music. He uses state of the art soft- and hardware to produce music or sound effects for games, presentations, movies, commercials and demos.
