$11 Heaven

Released 2018 by Maniacs of Noise

Jeroen Tel aka WAVE and Markus Klein aka LMan


Jeroen: After having organized the fist SINE-wave tracker compo in 1995 (of which my popular tune Stranglehold was the result)(often used as keygen music), I couldn't hesitate to enter this compo, which is very similar, but now on my beloved machine, the Commodore 64. I had the pleasure to work with technical genius LMan on the tune.

Markus: So here it is, my first and hopefully not last coop with Jeroen. He had a sketch of this song, so we worked together on making the SID chip sing it. Jeroen did most of the composing, while I did most of the tech. Although it is not apparent at first glance, there is a lot of trickery going on to make it sound like 4 solid channels playing simultaneously. Hope you enjoy it as much as we enjoyed making it.

Tools used: Cheesecutter 2.9, Inkscape, Pixcen, Image/Player wrapper by Dr.J.

Runs on a factory Commodore 64 with the 8580 SID chip.

I love this song, but it doesn't sound right on my C64 breadbin with a 6581 SID - is this known about or is my SID chip on the way out?

Hi Martin, alas the tune is optimised for 8580, on 6581 it should sound very muffled. The good news is, your chip is probably all right, and I've built a 6581 version you can download above. :)
