Pretty cool stuff! Kudos for testing with recent demoscene music. Surely, SID pioneer's music is great, but demosceners do push the SID further.

ArmSID has improved a lot since I tested the first few firmware version, it's a good replacement choice.

I used to use a SIDBlaster USB with VICE+SID-Wizard a couple of years ago. After switching to SIDFactory2, it's not an option anymore. SF2's SID emulation is not perfect but it's accurate enough for making music and I also test my tracks by transferring them to a real C64.

I do have a pile of SID :) and a couple of C64's, Midibox SID, a bunch of replacements like FPGASID and more hardware too.

I wish Robotnik is next. Of course without a timing fix, and just simply letting the drill go as deep as it can.

Also, people used to talk about DAWless JAM pretty often. And on my side it's mostly just JAMless DAW...

I think I just invented a new music genre: #Evil #Space #Funk. Let's just say it's fun to make some unusual sounding music for @retrospacegame.bsky.social

Below is a screenshot of the #Reaper project without any audio this time. More to follow soon, you are warned.

Second Reality, along with the legendary Assembly party were among the earliest influences to the members of Conspiracy. Today we're honoring the 32nd anniversary with a gift to the community: a native 32 bit port of the demo that kicked off the PC demoscene era with a bang.

= 32 bits after 32 years =

We're incredibly proud to announce that Second Reality has now been finally ported to a modern operating system, and you can watch it tear up your system: no video, no emulation, just code - as it should be.

Bleep and Destroy, by StrayBoom 6 track album

I missed celebrating the 10th year anniversary of strayboom.bandcamp.com/album/bleep-...
but well, let's celebrate the almost 11th year since this 6 track #chiptune #progressive #metal EP is out.
Happy almost birthday.

Took me some time to get it, totally worth it. It's beautiful, it's THE dream car with a roar. In a couple hundred years, I might be able to afford the real car, too.

#tvr #cerbera #speed12 #spark #model #diecast #1/43

I don't count the hours I spend with SID music :)
Its restricted nature is the beauty of the hardware. You can be oldschool and bleep-bloop. Or you can be modern and use it as a subtractive synth - work your way around the limitations in a way that tricks the ears to believe much more is going on.

The Fragment Trilogy [A C64 Trip], by Laszlo 'vincenzo' Vincze 4 track album

2021 was the year I released "The Fragment Trilogy".
It's a 3 track #audio #experiment on the #C64.
One track ends with a fragment of a musical theme, the next track starts with the same theme and evolves into a continuous flow of acid jazzy-funky-electronica.
