Just to get a bit off topic, I was wondering are there some “legendary” c64 composers among us? You know, guys like Laxity, Drax, Daglish Ben or Rob Hubbard?
Those guys that have tons of own music on HVSC (high voltage sid collection)?
I have seen Reyn, Laxity and Drax on X2004, but haven’t spoken them.
I have spoken to Jeroen Tel and Jazzcat, but didn’t spoke about Renoise
I have seen Hein Holt (a legend in a different section than music though), he does use it, don’t know if he registered though.
And i have seen and spoken Rick Hoekman shortly.
I’ve seen a spoken a lot of ppl actually…
Hard to get situation, three legends in one frame:Laxity, Jeroen Tel, Drax
I was at X2004, it was great, I spoke to JT, Laxity, Drax, Reyn, Fanta, Rambones , Jeff etc.
I sat next to MSK but I didn’t know who he was. I didn’t find out until I saw the pictures online. He was renoising on a laptop with headphones so I didn’t wanna disturb him… too bad.
JT told me he uses nothing but Renoise for his game music, either directly for MP3 or to compose chiptunes before transcribing them to Gameboy for example.
Drax promised to try Renoise. I am sure he will because he is a heavy FT2 user like JT was. Laxity is more or a regular MIDI sequencer guy. Reyn of course has shitloads of hardware and profi software because he’s a producer right now that is doing quite well.
http://www.scs-trc.net/x2004/ It was 22, 23 and 24 october… Too bad you missed it! We should probably announce the next one here and flood the place with even more oldskool musicians Did I say there was free beer?
