The beauty of this project comes from the fact that this whole perfomance would have been possible 40 years ago. But at this time it was simply unimaginable / unthinkable. This teaches us a lot about transfer of knowledge, education, evolution and inspiration. It's a masterpiece.
I still love these machines. I learned Assembler on those models back in the day, and programming them is a really satisfying experience, as you are practically in touch with the bare metal and there is absolutely nothing going on behind your back that you're not aware of. As explained in the video, given a limited amount of time you are really able to understand and control the whole machine 100%, and they sit in the sweet spot between being complex enough to work with them kind of comfortably and to do something useful and beautiful while not being too complicated. Great project.
Robert Henke and Alva Noto are two great examples to combine abstract music and visuals to create something extraordinary :) Thank you for the interview and content.
Not to forget Ryoji Ikeda, by far my favorite artist in this scene - mind blowing installations. He collaborates also sometimes with Alva Noto (seeing them live at berghain for rater noton night was incredible)
it was also very interesting to follow henke on facebook the year and months before he realised this, there were so many bugs and things that didnt work heheh. but finally this was the result. 100% respect really!
This is beyond cool! I actually didn’t know that the CBM could do bitmap graphics, I thought it was all character based with a non-redefinable character set. Character mode in this performance is just beautiful. Gorgeous! 6502 assembler ahhhhhh probably my favorite, although the 68k is more versatile, the limited 6502 instruction set makes it easier to remember. Last year I got back into C64 assembler and after a day it was all back. And I hadn’t done it literally in 30 years. So this project is brilliant and gorgeous and brilliant in its complexity. I wonder if none, 80s computer people understand the complexities. I love the spying on the address bus of the video ram and the data bus and in that way sample the video output. Was that done using an FPGA just discrete logic? You did need to display the data during the vblank or racing the beam or the CBM machine. In either case also knowing what scan line is drawn to keep the images in sync. I can imagine that the code “raced the beam”.

Well said
@8:23 "Pleases the sense of Order" is the most German thing I've heard today.

Superb attention to detail in this great documentary. Respect to all involved. Breathtaking

Agree completely. Waiting for my Xerrox 4 any day now 😺
Incredible, so gutted to have missed seeing this in London
Robert Henke is a next level musical and technological mind. Beautiful project.
Mr. Henke is a genius!
I loved every sec of it at the Barbican. Probably my fav project of the Robert Henke moniker.
I always love seeing what creative people do with old-tech.
Amazing.. Robert Henke is fantastic!
How could anyone dislike this
Thank you so much for putting this out!
BRILLIANT result 👏🏼 And HUGE thanks fof this inside look 👍🏽
Amazingly beautiful technological solutions and project!
This is amazing! Love the insight into the ideas and challenges to realise this incredible performance. Thanks for sharing!!

Does anyone know where we could find the music in the video? It's amazing and it sounds like it is recorded? Thank you in advance.
Love your recent content
So incredible. A++
Amazing!!! Thank you fact mag
Mindblowing!
Amazing 👏👏👏
Matrix Is Back =) Excellent performance!
ingenious.
Damn, this makes me want to move to Europe... but also wants me to grow a better international touring culture in "America".
amazing! what ossilloscope are you using?!?!
This is beyond cool!

Seems to me like 100% ASCII graphics

Amazing
'I thought I'm going to have time on stage.'
mental concept !
This. Is art. Maybe nerd art to those who prefer other means of audiovisual input, but, art, none the less
Is that a track on 0:28 with some name or that is just improvisation?
Can i find it somewhere?
v nice work
dopeness..
excellent
Anybody know the name of the engineer who wrote all the assembly code?
More impressive, more authentic and more relevant than Kraftwerks Show.
kraftwerk.
its cold media now this is why is interesting,
Future of Computers is Telling Humans NO!
Hut ab!

Speculative Demo Scene as Contemporary Art
who is watching this in 144p?
if the filtering option existed i would for sure,but no too smudgy. that should be a nearest neighbour option on YT
too crisp
Amazing!!! Thank you fact mag
