RetroGamingMusic Live at the Piano Bar on a Cruise Ship
Last weekend the gaming-centered Moderskeppet (Mothership) event took place on a cruise ship around Stockholm. Tony Fluke73
Wirén was there playing game music during the cruise. The ship sailed for a total of 20 hours, and Tony played game music for 10 hours of that! Watch the link below for a short
excerpt from his set.
Press Play On Tape @ Transmission64

Zzap! Live 2024 Music Panel
After last year's success another Zzap! Live event was put on by the organizers which was held just last weekend, on Saturday, Aug 17, 2024 in Kenilworth, England. Of special interest to Commodore music fans this year was the music focused Q&A panel which featured Barry Leitch, Jason Whitely, Mike Clarke and Rob Hubbard, and the MC was none other than Peter Clarke. Good times were had by everybody and it was not only an entertaining session, but informative, too. Fortunately, the entire thing was recorded on video, too - check it out at the link below!
Karma64
by Chris Abbott and Alistair Bowness (Boz)
This CD is really four albums in one. First, it presents dance versions of popular C64 tunes which were first put together to be played at the very first Back in Time live event. Second, it presents what we regard as the ultimate versions of tunes which first featured on Back in Time 1
, such as Crazy Comets, or Monty on the Run. Third, it brings a new and experimental vibe to some popular pieces like Wizball and Mutants. And lastly, it is a testing ground for some of the ear-candy New Age ideas that later found their way into Crystal Dreamscapes.
Rambo ReloadedArranged by Allister Brimble
Having said that, the devil is in the details. This orchestral remix is in dire need of more dynamics: the powerful sections are not powerful enough, the soft sections are not soft enough. I think it would help if the military march drums were silenced during the soft parts (e. g. 1:32-1:52). And they should be supported by big timpani or even by rock-band drums during the powerful parts. Those also need stronger brass and strings.
But I really like your arrangement variations on the original SID. What I do miss are those short little trills (e. g. at 1:09) that provide some nice ear-candy in the original.
Hair-splitting apart, it's definitely a keeper. I'm already looking forward to your next orchestral epic!

Arranged by Noviello Pippo
sampled), but it is played nicely, it has a Yanni-esque melancholic feeling to
it. Unfortunately, the last minute of this remix leaves me completely
confused. It suddenly switches from the piano to a rather poor electronic
version with a cheering crowd providing the supposed
concert feel- and then
it ends just as abruptly. Puzzling, to say the least. It would've been a nice
piano piece, but that horrible ending destroys it all.
