  • A rescore (or cover) of Rob Hubbard's classic theme for Commando on the Commodore 64. This might be my all time favorite C64 tune. I tried to stay as loyal as possible to the song's structure, but I completely modernized the instrumentation and added some extra flares.
    Music by:
    Jeff Clement
    Based on the original song by:
    Rob Hubbard
    From the video game "Commando" for the Commodore 64, 1985 Elite Systems Ltd.
    Turn off the lights, put on your headphones and turn up the volume.

      Original in the first place (arcade game) is by a lady named Tamayo Kawamoto. Rob Hubbard made her original composition his own with its special arrangement precisely. So technically, you can always outdo the original.

    This is an incredibly well thought out rescore. Very faithful, nice and meaty. Is there an old world war 2 bomb siren going off in the background as 2:29? Anyhoo, I am no music critic, but as someone who listened to this tune for hours, this is amazing :)

    • @AuralStimulations
      @AuralStimulations  7 років тому +6

      Thank you! Keeping it faithful first was my primary goal. After that, it was about adding some flourishes here and there and updating the instruments to sound more modern. The siren effect was actually the lead instrument being dialed all the way back, but it did end up sounding siren-like, which I liked!

      @@mfdgaming7181 Nope. It's exactly 1.25 where you should divide 29.97 Hz by 23.976 Hz. The element of surprise is that, PAL system had introduced an increased number of scanlines (625 total, 576 visible) whereas NTSC has a lower resolution. (525 lines, 480 visible) But the refresh rates had differed in reverse thanks to that goddamn difference of city powerline frequency, either 60Hz or 50Hz.
