  • Times of Lore Cassette in Your Tape Deck Character Creation Side Up
    A Classic Adventure Featuring Arcade Thrills A Tale of Lore erideth Lamby stood on her tiptoes, her hands gripping the wooden edge of the half-door as she strained to see over it. Today her grandfather was travelling from Rhyder for a visit. He always brought her, and her brother Stephan, the most wonderful wooden toys carved by his own hands. She peered down the cobbled path for a sign of his arrival. He had always seemed like a fabled giant to her; swaying side to side while his cheeks puffed in and out with the effort of his stride. She spied the large oak tree at the end of the path and thought back on the times she and Stephan had spent beneath its boughs listening to enchanting tales in their grandfather's arms. Each visit brought a new story under the tree with their grandfather’s warm deep voice reciting a fantastic tale. Suddenly she heard the hollow snapping of small twigs followed by a heavy puffing and grunting which grew louder by the second. “Grandpa!” she screamed as she ran to meet him at the end of the path. “Hello Meri!” he chortled as he swept her up in his arms. “How's my little Wisp?” he asked, rocking her like a baby in his arms. With a rustling and a thump, Stephan plunged onto the old man's back from the tree overhead. “Aha, and hello to you as well my feisty Stephan!” he said as he lovingly lifted the boy down from his shoulders. “Please Grandpa, a story tell us a story!”, Stephan shouted, jumping with excitement.

    Issue 06 – 2017 Journal –Peer Reviewed JAMES NEWMAN Bath Spa University, FHEA [email protected] Driving the SID chip Assembly Language, Composition, and Sound Design for the C64 ABSTRACT The MOS6581, more commonly known as the Sound Interface Device, or SID chip, was the sonic heart of the Commodore 64 home computer. By consider- ing the chip’s development, specifcation, uses and creative abuses by composers and programmers, alongside its continuing legacy, this paper argues that, more than any other device, the SID chip is responsible for shaping the sound of videogame music. Compared with the brutal atonality of chips such as Atari’s TIA, the SID chip ofers a complex 3-channel synthesizer with dynamic wave- form selection, per-channel ADSR envelopes, multi-mode flter, ring and cross modulation. However, while the specifcation is sophisticated, the exploitation of the vagaries and imperfections of the chip are just as signifcant to its sonic character. As such, the compositional, sound design and programming tech- niques developed by 1980s composer-coders like Rob Hubbard and Martin Galway are central in defning the distinctive sound of C64 gameplay. Explor- ing the afordances of the chip and the distinctive ways they were harnessed, the argument of this paper centers on the inexorable link between the tech- nological and the musical. Crucially, composers like Hubbard et al. developed their own bespoke low-level drivers to interface with the SID chip to create pseudo-polyphony through rapid arpeggiation and channel sharing, drum syn- thesis through waveform manipulation, portamento, and even sample playback. This paper analyses the indivisibility of sound design, synthesis and composi- tion in the birth of these musical forms and aesthetics, and assesses their impact on what would go on to be defned as chiptunes.
