I had the honor of releasing perhaps the first Atari 2600 tune that is actually in tune - thanks to Aleksi Eeben and his new Star Bars music editor.

Star Bars is an 2 channel Atari 2600 music sequencer and player that runs on Commodore 64. It allows you to export your music as an executable ROM file that runs on an Atari 2600 emulator or on the actual console. 

This tune was recorded on VICE C64 emulator and in PAL mode of the player. This is how I heard it while making it, but it will sound a bit different on a real Atari 2600. I have no way of recording it and the emulators (like Stella) have problems with the sound emulation. Judging from various emulations, the NTSC version sounds better than the PAL version on the Atari 2600 (and vice versa on the C64).

Atari 2600 / VCS rearrangement of Pekka Pohjola's Matemaatikon lentonäytös AKA Mathematician's Air Display - both Atari 2600 and the album were released in 1977. 

The playroutine uses 2 channels made of square and noise waves. Thanks to Aleksi Eeben for the help.

Recorded from my Atari 2600 Jr.

I listened to the original Acidjazzed Evening a while ago and realized it didn't sound that much like acid jazz. So this cover was my attempt at fixing that. I don't actually know that much about acid jazz as a subgenre so who even knows if this sounds like it. Maybe I just have a hard-on for funky chords and need excuses to use them all the time. You decide which is true.

P.S I hate VRC7 slightly less now ok
