Removing tree on power lines with BIK TC-126, drone footage, C64 tunes
(Note: turn on subtitles if you want to see drone elevation data)
April 4th 2022. What a Monday! We had a crazy wind storm with 45 mph gusts that knocked down some trees in the area. This tree fell across the street and snapped the power lines, but somehow did not break the communication lines.
Music over the drone footage taken from my C64 SID collection. Kudos to you if you recognize it :)
Cheers!

Chilly Willy Snokie C64 piano arrangements and gameplay
Переглядів 1,8 тис.4 роки тому
Home gig#40, July 11, 2020. I think Chilly Willy is the best "Pengo" variant on Commodore 64, out of dozens that were released. The title theme is taken from the TV show "Dallas", and the gameplay theme is "Popcorn", a pop tune written for the Moog synthesizer! I've also included the next-level and lost-life ditties. Snokie is another game featuring a red penguin, and this time the music is all...
Rock'n Wrestle C64 piano arrangement with gameplay
Переглядів 2,6 тис.4 роки тому
Home gig #39, July 4 2020. This is a fun little ditty with a standard blues progression, and I've included an extra repeat for improvisation. The composer was not fond of it (his official comment is "blah") but I think the whimsicality is quite appropriate for a pro-wrestling game! I enjoyed playing this against my friends back in the day. NOTE: The eye patch created an interesting challenge. M...
Barbarian Ultimate Warrior C64 piano arrangement and gameplay
Переглядів 12 тис.4 роки тому
Home gig #37, recorded June 26 2020. This tune is especially fun to play because of the compound meter and I like pounding the bass on this piano! The meter is simple 4/4 in the intro and ending sequence, but the primary tune uses 6 5/4, 6 3/4, 5 3/4, 5 2/4. For extra fun, try counting the beats! The gameplay footage starts with a couple fights from side A (outdoor scenes), then several fights ...
1942 C64 piano arrangement with gameplay
Переглядів 5 тис.4 роки тому
Home gig #36, recorded June 18 2020. When this game was ported to Commodore 64, they added some great music! The main theme is an arrangement from the film "633 squadron", which is copyrighted, so it was replaced in later releases of the game. I prefer the original, so that is what I'm playing here. Also, I've extended the high score theme with an extra repeat so I could squeeze in some improvi...

Home gig #35, recorded June 10 2020. This game is top 10 for sure! The cinematic approach was groundbreaking for 1986 and the game mechanics were a lot of fun. I've included all 9 tunes, and a complete play-through of the game as played by me on June 11th. NOTE: Fixed framing issue at 3:05-3:15. Original video is here: ua-cam.com/video/Wr-ZJE5pUU0/v-deo.html Composer: Jim Cuomo Arranger: Richar...

Home gig #34, June 7 2020. I never understood this game back in 1986, but the music is great. The composer, Fred Gray, recently suffered an injury and we wanted to cheer him up, so here it is :) NOTE: I finally got the manual and was able to include gameplay footage! The goal is to take down specific enemies marked on the map, moving between areas using the green doors. I made it to the 3rd mis...
Aliens C64 piano arrangement with gameplay
Переглядів 2,7 тис.4 роки тому
Home gig #33, June 5 2020. Here are both tracks from the game Aliens, released the same year as the movie (1986)! The first track sets the mood really well, and is reused between each game stage to remind you this is a horror game. The second track has a catchy boogie beat so I decided to add a bit of improvisation. I may have gone off the rails a bit, but at least I incorporated riffs from the...
Pool of Radiance C64 piano arrangement
Переглядів 2,7 тис.4 роки тому
Home gig #32, June 2 2020. I decided to wear tails for this one because according to the composer (David Warhol) this piece was written in the style of Wagner, inspired by the opening of Wagner's opera Siegfried.

Home gig #31, May 30 2020. This is my first transcription since 2015. At first I played per the original, but the timbre has a nice echo and I wanted to mimic that sound, so I added tremolo and double-strikes. Gameplay footage took a while because I had never played it until this weekend. Back in the 80's the only Druid game I knew about was the first one. Composer: David M. Hanlon, 1987 www.mo...

Home gig #30, May 26 2020. The game Druid is considered a "Gauntlet clone" but I liked it much better than Gauntlet, and the music is definitely more memorable.

Mail Order Monsters C64 piano arrangement
Переглядів 1,2 тис.4 роки тому
Home gig #29, May 25 2020. Another catchy tune by Tommy Dunbar, and one of my top 10 favorite C64 games. The first tune is very challenging because it is almost entirely white keys. You might think that makes it easy, but playing all white keys is actually very difficult! Composer: Tommy V.

    Brilliant!My favourites are, just like with the original SID, the intro (opening credits), "Final Victory" / Outro (they belong together for me; some see "Final Victory" and "The End" as separate pieces) and "The Tournament". I try to imagine what these pieces sound like on a harpsichord. Any chance you could get to play a harpsichord with these arrangements? ;) Or does someone know if this soundtrack has been played on such an instrument and where to get it? Anyway: it looks like it is VERY hard to play, definetly not for beginners. Love it!

    Crusader Kings from the before times... such fond memories of this game. It has a unique charm that I don't think any other game has quite captured. The soundtrack is also utterly unique. It's this weird combination of bombastic, medieval-sounding, expressive, and epic.
