Dude, My friend, this track crushes everything.  Ive been observing the scene since the 80s. this track crushes any 4chn chip. Good job! Love!

10 years ago already? Still one of my all-time favorite demo tracks!

I landed here again.. in this tune.. the soundcloud lead me here. i can see the demo before my inner eye.

This tune was composed for our winner demo at Datastorm 2014. The tune was used for a huge sideways scrolling hires bitmap and the first thing to appear was a giagantic Fairlight logo (one of our three groups) and as they have their "theme" I decided that it would be pretty fun to have that theme sound first in the tune. Then I ended the theme by holding the last note and then making it fade into a THX kinda effect to let people know that they should expect entertainment now.

So when the music kicks in, our OFFENCE logo starts to flash... but check out the demo yourself, and you will see what I mean.

(not sure if this version is captured from real hardware or not, details might be more clear on real thing)

The name for the tune was easy, as the final screen of the scroller shows a text we meant very much: WE ARE ALL CONNECTED... as in, all C64 sceners/fans are connected.. we share this hobby and fun with this old piece of hardware. C64 forever! :-)

Connected

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.
