Room 34 Posted September 10, 2003 Share Posted September 10, 2003 I am working on a new CD, and I've decided to incorporate the 2600 as much as possible. Surely the Synthcart will come into play at some point, but here's a little oddity that is produced entirely with actual game sounds. It is called 2'16". (True 2600 freaks should get the reference.) While it is not exactly a musical masterpiece, it does contain distinct rhythmic patterns and a definite drum beat, bass line, and melodic parts, produced solely from sounds in the following games: Defender Warlords Slot Racers Canyon Bomber Space Invaders Air-Sea Battle Star Ship Pac-Man iTunes shows it clocking in at 2:15, but it's really just shy of 2:16 (naturally). You can download an MP3 of it here: http://smitty.room34.com/media/216.mp3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pmitch_3m Posted September 10, 2003 Share Posted September 10, 2003 very smooth....reminds me of DJ Shadow. That will be placed on the next mix disk I make, I'm sure folks will be asking "Is that...Defender I hear?"....classic:) good job. p Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mos6507 Posted September 14, 2003 Share Posted September 14, 2003 I laughed out loud when the Pac Man music came in. You actually made something musical out of it after all these years! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Godzilla Posted September 15, 2003 Share Posted September 15, 2003 great comedy. even with it being 2:16, its a shame so many elements were re-used so often. it felt like it was leading to something that never happened, imho... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joeybastard Posted September 15, 2003 Share Posted September 15, 2003 That's really cool. I could see driving around to thrifts listening to that Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
