NEWS AND UPDATES
» September 1st, 2010 - Gryphon interviewed
Here's finally a new scene interview with Gryphon, or Alan Macfarlane as you might know him. He was a cool pixel pusher who created demos with Barry Leitch. I think more people can relate to this scenario: "My earliest experiences were at a fairly nerdy run-down computer club in Glasgow. One side was full of very serious bearded middle aged men in tweed swapping programming tips on their BBC Micros. The other side spotty kids pirating C64 games, with the occasional guy showing off some demo or other he'd knocked up, which would inspire us to do something more interesting than just playing games. The two sides never talked to each other as far as I remember." Read all here »

With all the traditional demo scene competitions as well as plenty of alternative and freestyle compos, the multi platform demoparty Buenzli is back! Be in Winterthur/Switzerland between 20-22 August 2010 - yes, it starts this Friday. With many C64 sceners showing up every year, the party has become a must-see event for the C64 scene. Special C64 features include the C64.CH demo show and the live gig of SäureFabrik/G.A.M.E.S, a C64 game music DJ with custom built double CPU Commodore hardware for live music mixing from floppy disks.

» August 6th, 2010 - Retro band '6581' to perform at X2010
6581 consists of Andreas Wallström (Morpheus/Flash Inc./C64.COM webmaster), Eike Steffen (Romeo Knight/Red Sector Inc.), Anders Larsson and newcomer Anton Johansson. They did their first live performance at Back in Time Live Stockholm 2008 and are really looking forward to play at X2010. Their set, which consists of songs like Game Over, Ghosts'n Goblins, and Commando, will without doubt satisfy any fan of SID music.
X2010 is a pure Commodore 64 party which is held for the 10th time this year. It's a great, friendly party and there's a lot of creativity going on. The demo scene is definitely alive! 1-3 October. Be there.

» May 10th, 2010 - Game Talk with Matthew Cannon
Musician Matthew Cannon wrote the music for games like Navy Seals and Batman the Movie. In this interview, he talks about how he got started with computer music and what influenced him, thoughts on digitized drums, and how he landed a job at Ocean Software: "I took the liberty of nagging Jonathan Dunn, probably three times a week at least, with whatever music demo I had put together that weekend using Ubik's Musik (the only editor I had access to). Call it pester power, luck, or whatever, but Jonathan came to the conclusion that I should be writing more than just demo tracks. He arranged with producer Gary Bracey to put me on my first project, which was Batman the Movie." Among other things... It's a great read if you're a C64 fan! Click to read »
» May 6th, 2010 - 4042 of The Vikings interviewed
Morpheus gives you an interview with yet another hero: 4042 of The Vikings. Favourite excerpt: "I remember that I used a machine code editor to do all development. I used no cartridge (now, that would have helped a lot), and this meant that I didn't use a source code editor of any kind. I remember that I used to put in NOP instructions when I realized that I needed to do more code at certain places in the memory. I got into situations where I had to write all the code down on paper and then type it in the editor again. When starting to work on the Amiga, I had more knowledge and things were much easier. On the bright side, I learned the entire instruction set. :-)" Read all here »
