The Higher Sid eXperience by Sidwave
- - ADINTX^ #A&^-*AAAAAACCCA - - NOW PLAYING 'GLOBE' BY NECROPOLO. THE REAL MEANING OF WORDS IS ALWAYS WHAT THEY DON'T TELL. LET'S PRAISE SILENCE. - NOW PLAYING 'LE POINT BLANC 2' BY NECROPOLO. "IT IS QUITE SMALL" SHE SAID. "INDEED" I REPLIED, "SIYE DOESN'T MATTER. IT'S ALL ABOUT THE WAY YOU CAN USE IT". THEN, I CLOSED HER BRAND NEW TINY SWISS ARMY KNIFE.. - NOW PLAYING: 'DESTRONAUT 1' BY NECROPOLO - MEASURE WITH MICROMETER - MARK WITH CHALK - CUT WITH AXE. WORKS FOR ME REGARDLESS OF INSTRUMENT. SID AND GUITARS HAVE A LOT IN COMMON, BOTH HAVE SOME DIRECT FEEL OF ELECTRIFIED WAVES, EXPRESSION AND POWER. PERHAPS, POWER IS THE FIRST THING THAT COMES TO MY MIND ABOUT SID SOUNDS. CERTAIN SID TUNES INCLUDE MORE ENERGY THAN ONE THOUSAND GUITARS. NO I'M NOT SPEAKING ABOUT THIS TUNE OF MINE - ONLY ABOUT MY DESIRE TO FINDING THAT ENERGY, FROM TUNE TO TUNE.. - NOW PLAYING: 'CONTEMPORARY CLASSIC' BY JAN HARRIES WELL, I COULDN'T SLEEP AND SO I USUALLY START MAKING A TUNE, AND SOMETHING IN MY HEAD SAID 'FRED GRAY' ..WOBBLE! SO THAT'S HOW IT STARTED. I THINK THIS TUNE IS SOMEHOW INTENSE OR HAS A LOT OF PAIN.. IT'S JUST HOW IT IS.. I DON'T CONTROL, BUT MERELY TRANSFORM WHAT'S INSIDE.. SO ON THIS OCCASION A SPECIAL HELLO GOES TO FRED GRAY, WHO IS A REAL CHUM, AND HAS TAUGHT ME THINGS THROUGH HIS MUSIC. NOT MUCH ELSE TO WRITE REALLY.. :) - NOW PLAYING: 'INTERLEAVE' BY JAN HARRIES - HEY ALL! I HOPE YOU'RE COMFORTABLE !? I JUST HAD A COFFEE + CIGARETTE (STILL SMOKING) - IT'S 05:15 ON A MONDAY MORNING, EH..IN FACT IT'S THE 29TH MARCH 2010, AND I JUST STARTED TO PUT THIS DEMO TOGETHER. I'M USING A REAL C64, AND A 1541U WITH SOUNDEMON'S TASS ROM. IT BRINGS BACK MEMORIES OF 1987, WHEN SITTING IN SILENCE, CODING AT NIGHT. ALL THOSE DEMOS, ALL THOSE TUNES MADE.. NEARLY 25 YEARS HAVE PASSED, BUT IT'S LIKE IT NEVER REALLY MATTERS. TIME IS ENDLESS.. #BURP# - THIS TUNE IS VERY LONG, SO LEAN BACK, AND WE'RE TAKING YOU ON A JOURNEY FOR AROUND 7 MINUTES.. - NOW PLAYING: 'ELECTRONIC GROOVE' BY JAN HARRIES - SOME TIME AGO THE SPIRITS WANTED IT DIFFERENTLY, AND THE FIRST TOOL TO FALL IN OUR HANDS WAS CHOSEN FOR THE TASK.. NOW WE SEE THE RESULT, AND THE LIMITATIONS - BUT ALSO THE BEAUTY OF IT ALL, SO WE ARE DETERMINED TO CARRY ON THE MISSION. BE GROOVY! BE ELECTRONIC! JUST BE YOURSELF! (THE AUTHOR DOES THE FUDDERWACK) - SO SHOULD YOU!! - NOW PLAYING: 'INTERLEAVE 2' BY JAN HARRIES ..FROM THE DAWN OF TIME, WAS HANDED DOWN A SIGN AND AN INTERVAL, AND WE SAW THAT THIS WAS GOOD, AND TOOK USE OF IT TO MAKE THE SID# WE BELIEVE THAT DEEPNESS IS BASED ON CONCENTRATION AND PURPOSE OF MIND, AND THAT ONE CAN ONLY TRULY EXPERIENCE WHEN LETTING GO. SO THERE SEEMS TO BE SOME PARADOX BETWEEN WHAT IS COMING TO YOU, AND WHAT YOU CAN FULLY EXPERIENCE. WE BELIEVE THAT ALL IS BASED ON A CHOICE, A PREFERENCE - AND THAT YOU CAN IN FACT NOT CONTROL THE DETAILS. FLOATING.. FOREVER.. IN SPACE.. TO BE GRASPED AT WILL. - NOW PLAYING: 'WAVES OF TIME' BY JAN HARRIES - WE ARE SHAPED BY EVENTS OF OUR LIVES, OR SIMPLY BY PREFERENCE. WHAT WE WANT. BUT DO WE REALLY HAVE A FREE CHOISE ? OR ARE WE SUBJECT TO THE WAVES OF TIME, CHANGING.. EVOLVING US ? SO MANY MANY YEARS HAVE PASSED BY THE COMMODORE AND OTHER COMPUTERS, AND I SOMEHOW FEEL THAT I CAN SUM IT ALL UP INTO ONE FEELING, ONE TUNE.. THIS ONE! SOMEHOW, THINGS JUST FEEL RIGHT.. - THE SIDWAVE IS BACK!! PRESS KEYS 1-0 FOR DIFFERENT TUNES - EACH TUNE HAS A DIFFERENT SCROLLTEXT, WRITTEN BY THE COMPOSER. TOTAL RUNTIME OF ALL MUSIC IS 37.5 MINUTES.. # ..WE WANT TO SEND SOME GREETING, TO FRIENDS THAT HAVE MADE OUR JOURNEY IN C64 LAND INTERESTING, THE LAST COUPLE OF YEARS: HI TO OXYRON, MANIACS OF NOISE, CREST, MULTISTYLE LABS, ARSENIC, ONSLAUGHT, TRSI, GHEYMAID, HVSC, PLUSH, SCS-TRC, BOOZE DESIGN, ANCIENTS, C64.COM, GEIR TJELTA'S NORWEGIAN FOLKSINGER BRITPOPBAND, TRIAD, FAIRLIGHT, CAMELOT, FOCUS, XENON, BLUEZ MUZ', INSTINCT, DCMP. AND TO ALL THE PEEPS ON IRC, WHO KEEP AMAZING US :) AND NOW A MESSAGE FROM NECROPOLO: BACK IN 1986 WHEN I GOT MY C64 AT THE AGE OF 11 I NEVER THOUGHT THAT I WILL BE A MUSICIAN, JUST PLAYED GAMES. REAL SCENE WAS OUT OF REACH. SNAIL MAIL WAS TERRIBLE AND LOCAL SCENE AS WELL, IT WAS ABOUT BIG TALK ONLY. I NEVER WANTED TO BE A PART. 3 YEARS LATER MY MIND BECAME IMPREGNATED WITH SID MUSIC ENOUGH TO DEVELOP AN UNADULTERATED DESIRE OF COMPOSING. C64 BECAME A SECRET TO DISCOVER. THE FIRST MUSIC EDITOR CAME TO ME ACCIDENTALLY AS SOME DISK FILLER BUT IT BECAME MY MOST PRECIOUS TOY. I WAS AN ABSOLUTE ROOKIE BUT I HAD THE DESIRE TO DEVELOP. AS TIME PASSED, I BECAME A GUITARIST BECAUSE I USED AN OLD GEETAR TO CONSTRUCT SIDS AND I BECAME SKILLED WITH IT. AFTER A WHILE I STARTED TO TRANSFORM GUITAR RIFFS INTO SIDS WITH RAW AND HEAVY SOUNDS. I DO THIS TO THIS VERY DAY. BECAUSE OF A FAILED GAME PROJECT THAT I HAD TOO MUCH FAITH IN, I TURNED OFF MY C64 IN 1994. EVERYONE AROUND HAD PC AND AMIGA, I THOUGHT I AM THE LAST 8-BIT MOHICAN. I WAS NOT AWARE OF THE SCENE UNTIL I STARTED A SID REMIX ALBUM IN 2009, RELEASED BY C64AUDIO.COM. FOLLOWING THE ADVICE OF IAN COOG WHO HELPED A LOT TO SAVE MY OLD SIDS FOR HVSC, I CHECKED THE EXISTING C64 SCENE AND FOUND GOOD PEOPLE AND INSPIRING WORX THERE. OLD BATTERIES BECAME RECHARGED. BECAUSE OF THE NET EASY ACCESS NOW I AM ABLE TO DO WHAT I MISSED AGES AGO: CONTRIBUTE TO THE SCENE. AND NOW A MESSAGE FROM JAN HARRIES: HAVE YOU EVER.. THOUGHT ABOUT, HOW THREADS, TIME AND EVENTS TURN OUT IN DIFFERENT WAYS YOU DIDN'T PLAN OR ANTICIPATE ? HAVE YOU EVER THOUGHT ABOUT WHAT YOU ARE HERE FOR, AND WHAT YOU ADD TO THE WORLD ? ..AND WHAT YOU EVENTUALLY WILL LEAVE BEHIND FOR THE FUTURE ? AT X-2010 WHERE THIS MUSIC COLLECTION IS RELEASED, WE SEE THAT AFTER 25 YEARS OF C64 - THE DIGITAL ARTISTS OF THE SCENE HAVE STILL SOMETHING ON THEIR MINDS, ARE STILL FULL OF ENERGY AND PASSION, AND STILL HONING THEIR SKILLS. DID WE EXPECT IN THE CHILDHOOD OF THE SCENE, THAT IT WOULD LIVE ON, 25 YEARS LATER ? YOU MIGHT HAVE EXPECTED IT, IF YOU HAD THE EXPERIENCE OF A 40 YEAR OLD THEN.. WHEN REACHING SUCH AN AGE, IT'S ALL STANDING VERY CLEAR THAT WHAT YOU CREATE TODAY, LIVES ON IN THE FUTURE. TIME IS A CONFUSING CONCEPT THAT MAN USES TO EXPLAIN THE SEQUENCE OF EVENTS, BUT THE REALITY IS THAT EVERYTHING IS HAPPENING SIMULTANEOUSLY.. - NOW PLAYING: 'ETERNAL REMINISCENCE' BY JAN HARRIES - THIS TUNE IS A REMIX. THE ORIGINAL IS A TRANCE TUNE, MADE BY 0ISTEIN EIDE (BOOM JINX). HE WAS A MEMBER OF MANIACS OF NOISE, ON AMIGA, AND TODAY HE TOURS THE WORLD AS A DJ. I JUST HAVE A FLING FOR THIS THEME, AND DECIDED TO DO THE MIX.. IT'S NOW THE 26. AUGUST 2010, AND THIS MUSIC COLLECTION IS ALMOST COMPLETED. IT HAS BEEN AN ONGOING WORK SINCE APRIL 2010, AND DURING THIS TIME A LOT HAS HAPPENED IN MY LIFE, AND SO I CAN REFLECT ON EVERYTHING IN 2010 SO FAR, WHILE COUNTING DOWN TO X-2010, WHICH IS JUST 1 MONTH FROM NOW.. I LOOK FORWARD TO MEETING THE FRIENDS THERE, AND DO SOME SID DANCING WITH CBA, MORPHEUS AND ALL THE REST. NO DOUBT, GREAT PRODUCTIONS WILL COME OUT THIS YEAR. NOW LET'S HAVE A FUCKING BEER !! :) - NOW PLAYING 'DESTRONAUT 2' BY NECROPOLO. GUITAR AND SID HAVE MUCH IN COMMON: THE DIRECT FEEL OF AMPLIFIED POWER AND ELECTRIC WAVES. BEWARE OF GIGAVOLTS! - NOW PLAYING 'LE POINT BLANC 1' BY NECROPOLO. IN THE QUEST FOR THE GRAIL, THE MOST IMPORTANT STEP IS TO REALIZE THAT THE GRAIL IS YOURSELF. THE SECOND IS TO REALIZE THAT YOU ARE JUST A DOOR IN BETWEEN WORLDS. HAVING AN EGO IS POINTLESS.. -
