Once a year I come back to listen to this masterpiece. For me, that's a true art
Holy shit, the way the guy fades into the city is fucking genius.
I'm an AY cat myself but you can't deny the awesomeness that is Mister Beep. Dude knows how to drop it in 1 bit.
Mister Beep is great musician.
True!
Аутентично, круто ! 👍 Хоспядя, сколько я эти родные звуки не слышал, 30 - ть лет. 😪🤧
Amazing piece of work.
жаль музыка исчезла, хоть видео продолжается :(
А так, красиво.
Very cool. I see how the rain effect is done - nice!
Very nice
Amazing 👍👍👍
masterpiece!
Always wondered if it would be feasible to have multichannel beeper music + gameplay. This has inspired me to try :)
Yes but it leaves very little CPU time to do anything but sound.
@@lukask7445 Not completely true, I was surprised with how much spare CPU time I was getting actually.
i think the problem is getting the timing right
Шедевр! Мы все просто облака точек )
Beautiful..
А красиво же!
Я понимаю весь абсурд, но мне нравится эта музыка :)
Потому что она автоматически конвертируется в голове до нормального звучания ))
бл, это чертов шедевр
I was looking for something from the ZX scene to attach to my article about late and great Sir Clive Sinclair's passing for a Ukrainian website PlayUA and this was not only very much a great fit, it just clicked with me in a way I can't quite put into words. I want to add it to IMDb, if that's possible (which should be, it is eligible considering the UA-cam release and whatnot), but I would love to hear what to add that as. IMDb has music videos which go as "Band Name: Title" (Year) (V), but then again it is also as compelling as a short film on it's own. Still, Life on Mars is a bit of a collective? Even if music is by Mister Beep, there are also these great lyrics which actually combine with the music to become a song in your head.
Technically, this is "a computer demo", although I doubt IMDb has such category. It does look a bit like a music video, but it actually runs on 48K ZX Spectrum. As you said rightly, it is, effectively, a short film in its own right, so I would not really call it a music video. "Life on Mars" is a demogroup, so, yes, it is a bit like an art collective, as in a group of likely-minded individuals joining forces to make a demo.
@@spke IMDb lacks that category, indeed, except some demos can be a video game, technically. I don't think it's classifiable as a video game: considering specifics of ZX Spectrum that should be considered a video release of specific format. I think I will add that as a short film, because production-wise it has a lot of similarities.
Wait, this is on the 48k beeper? What kind of witchcraft is this?!
i was coming down to say that too.
This beeper is a keeper
Very short beeps at diff freqs. 😎

I do hope it's not the last 48K productions from You.
A new ZX noir genre? :)
>new
Did you never play Contact Sam Cruise?
I love it.
Cool very cool…or should I say very wet ! I didn’t know this could be done on a Specy😊
Great beeper msx
Hermoso!!!
1:36 and 3:00 are the best moments to me.
зачёт
WOW WOW! Awesome!
good demo
holy fuck, it's beeper
Almost sounds like agent x music at 1:45
Is it possible to download the software as MP3 or WAV to load into real Speccy?
The direct download link contains, amongst other versions, a .tap file: introspec.retropc.ru/demo/rain.zip It is image of a usual Speccy tape. I do not have much experience loading tapes into real ZX Spectrums, but I believe that some of the best available instructions on how to go from .tap to .wav are contained here: retrocomputing.stackexchange.com/questions/773/loading-zx-spectrum-tape-audio-in-a-post-cassette-world/774#774
Why I cant hear the music ? Tried in Chrome and Edge....only video without sounds :| Other videos playing fine.
Sorry, I cannot help with UA-cam issues. There is definitely sound on all my PCs.

Track name?
The Mr Beep's track is called ""Interstellar Drift"; you can find it, e.g., here: battleofthebits.org/arena/Entry/Interstellar+Drift/16364/
Version of the track in the demo sounds a bit differently, because computer also needs to update the screen.
Oh, man, this thing is peacking my personal chart
I like rough sound in the demo more than "original" tune.
блин чувак, я конешн не шарю, но мне надо ее, так сказать в живую на пк запустить, не подскажешь как?
Тебе нужно будет две вещи: эмулятор и бинарник. Эмуляторов много хороших; можешь взять например вот этот:
dlcorp.nedopc.com/viewforum.php?f=27&sid=583a52e8f67dfc2d4ea464fd736ea540
Бинарник берётся по ссылке из подписи к видео; вот прямая ссылка:
introspec.retropc.ru/demo/rain.zip
Распакуй эмулятор, положи архив с бинарником в ту же папку, запусти эмулятор, щёлкни по окну спектрума, нажми F3 и выбери rain.zip (там вообще говоря 2 дисковые и одна кассетная версия в архиве; я бы выбрал кассетную TAP). Затем у тебя просто меню спектрума с Tape loader, нажимаешь ввод, оно запустится и будет играть.
Запустил, от души, удачи тебе в дальнейших работах :D
Спасибо, удачи!
