Title: tree wave.

It\'s some pretty cool music made by a 286, commodore 64, atari 2600 and a dot matrix printer. The guy makes his own cartridges for the 2600 and wrote a synth program for the C64. The printer plays beats, sort of. A girl sings. It sounds more organic than you\'d think. Also, while they play, a video projector shows cool grafix that are generated by the 2600. He also played a song by playing Dodge \'em on the 2600 over a sequenced track. They were at the albright knox art gallery last weekend, and I ended up taking them to niagara falls. Cool peeps.

Very cool. Sounds like a more talented, more innovative Postal Service.

That is awesome. Even original C64 music is great. The composing on that machine was nuts for a few games. There was this exhibit in the Chicago Science and Industry museum about video games and their history. They had all sorts of playable demos. I mean tons.

Anyway, there was a section for game music (multiple platforms) and the C64 music was awesome. I have seen or touched one of those things in forever.

Go dork music.

I had a Commodore 64 with Koala Paint and a Koala Pad when I was really young.  I believe that program is what jump-started my interest in graphic design and computer artist software.
