This project went down an extra fun road, which was exploring the chiptune sounds of the authentic Commodore 64 SID chip. Not at all happy with any of the SID chip plugins, and always ready for a deep dive into some piece of interesting gear or musical instrument, I went about sourcing a working Commodore 64 from eBay and then proceeded to modify it to allow multiple SID chip outputs. I’ll be detailing some of that process in a video soon, but for now I’m happy to report that the sound is incredible, and I’m very grateful to composer Theodore Shapiro for again bringing me on the team to help put this score together.
