This tune was the first tune I composed on a Commodore 64 SID chip for 23 years. It was Pål Syvertsen who inspired me to get started again so this tune is 100% dedicated to him.

The music was used as for the end part of our latest demo production for the C64 called "Scrollwars".  http://csdb.dk/release/?id=120908

You can download the SID or PRG for C64 if you like too: http://csdb.dk/release/?id=120939

I used a crossplatform editor/player called CheeseCutter 2.5.0 http://csdb.dk/release/?id=118865

This recording loops a bit, so its not that long in SID version. I made the tune so it could loop forever (as I usually do). Thanks to Lemming for recording it on real hifi-hardware. Much appriciated!

Its a slow emotional tune for me. Hope you enjoy it as much as I did making it.

Now remaked with VSTs and modern DAW software - available on Spotify and other streaming services

Since 1986 when I got my first computer, a Commodore 64, I've been locked into the Grid.

I've been around almost every aspect of home-computer programming including:
game-development, intro/demos, music composing, graphical effects for both Commodore 64 and Commodore Amiga 500. 

Today I work with PCs, smart-devices, SQL-databases and web-development professionally. 

But, I am back into SID composing as that has some serious limits and therefore demands the composer to be ultra creative to get anything useful out of it. Just love the fun and sound.

The program I use for C64 SID composing is called CheeseCutter (http://theyamo.kapsi.fi/ccutter/). Its free, open-source and can run on any modern platform (Windows, MacOSX and Linux) and emulates the SID chip. When you pack the sourcefile into a SID file you can then use it on a real C64.
