Theme from Chuck Rock (Amiga version) performed on Commodore-based instruments
Chuck Rock



The intro theme from Chuck Rock (Amiga version)
performed with an ensemble of Commodore-based instruments.



With kind permission from the composer, Matthew Simmonds (4-mat).

This song was very fun to work with! I like how the technical limitations of
the software used to compose it are shining through. Patterns are reused, but
not always in the same order, and not always paired up with the same material
in the other channels. And the same upbeat is reused with several different
outcomes. I think it's all very cleverly put together!

As for my cover, I'm using a number of original instruments that I built out
of Commodore hardware (C64, 1541, A600). On the two lead C=tars, the upper rod is a pitch
bend, the lower rod is a volume control, and space triggers a glide effect. On
the bass C=tar, the lower rod controls the cutoff frequency of the resonant
low-pass filter in the SID chip, while space repeats the most recently played
note.

The drums are played on the Paulimba, which has been extended with
drum samples on some of the modifier keys. The rhythm guitar part is recreated
using floppy-drive noise and the
keyboard solo is performed on the good old Chipophone.
