Removing tree on power lines with BIK TC-126, drone footage, C64 tunes
(Note: turn on subtitles if you want to see drone elevation data)
April 4th 2022. What a Monday! We had a crazy wind storm with 45 mph gusts that knocked down some trees in the area. This tree fell across the street and snapped the power lines, but somehow did not break the communication lines.
Music over the drone footage taken from my C64 SID collection. Kudos to you if you recognize it :)
Cheers!

Chilly Willy Snokie C64 piano arrangements and gameplay
มุมมอง 1.7K4 ปีที่แล้ว
Home gig#40, July 11, 2020. I think Chilly Willy is the best "Pengo" variant on Commodore 64, out of dozens that were released. The title theme is taken from the TV show "Dallas", and the gameplay theme is "Popcorn", a pop tune written for the Moog synthesizer! I've also included the next-level and lost-life ditties. Snokie is another game featuring a red penguin, and this time the music is all...
Rock'n Wrestle C64 piano arrangement with gameplay
มุมมอง 2.5K4 ปีที่แล้ว
Home gig #39, July 4 2020. This is a fun little ditty with a standard blues progression, and I've included an extra repeat for improvisation. The composer was not fond of it (his official comment is "blah") but I think the whimsicality is quite appropriate for a pro-wrestling game! I enjoyed playing this against my friends back in the day. NOTE: The eye patch created an interesting challenge. M...
Barbarian Ultimate Warrior C64 piano arrangement and gameplay
มุมมอง 12K4 ปีที่แล้ว
Home gig #37, recorded June 26 2020. This tune is especially fun to play because of the compound meter and I like pounding the bass on this piano! The meter is simple 4/4 in the intro and ending sequence, but the primary tune uses 6 5/4, 6 3/4, 5 3/4, 5 2/4. For extra fun, try counting the beats! The gameplay footage starts with a couple fights from side A (outdoor scenes), then several fights ...
1942 C64 piano arrangement with gameplay
มุมมอง 5K4 ปีที่แล้ว
Home gig #36, recorded June 18 2020. When this game was ported to Commodore 64, they added some great music! The main theme is an arrangement from the film "633 squadron", which is copyrighted, so it was replaced in later releases of the game. I prefer the original, so that is what I'm playing here. Also, I've extended the high score theme with an extra repeat so I could squeeze in some improvi...
Defender of the Crown C64 piano arrangement with gameplay
มุมมอง 14K4 ปีที่แล้ว
Home gig #35, recorded June 10 2020. This game is top 10 for sure! The cinematic approach was groundbreaking for 1986 and the game mechanics were a lot of fun. I've included all 9 tunes, and a complete play-through of the game as played by me on June 11th. NOTE: Fixed framing issue at 3:05-3:15. Original video is here: th-cam.com/video/Wr-ZJE5pUU0/w-d-xo.html Composer: Jim Cuomo Arranger: Richa...
Mission A.D. C64 piano arrangement
มุมมอง 1.4K4 ปีที่แล้ว
Home gig #34, June 7 2020. I never understood this game back in 1986, but the music is great. The composer, Fred Gray, recently suffered an injury and we wanted to cheer him up, so here it is :) NOTE: I finally got the manual and was able to include gameplay footage! The goal is to take down specific enemies marked on the map, moving between areas using the green doors. I made it to the 3rd mis...
Aliens C64 piano arrangement with gameplay
มุมมอง 2.6K4 ปีที่แล้ว
Home gig #33, June 5 2020. Here are both tracks from the game Aliens, released the same year as the movie (1986)! The first track sets the mood really well, and is reused between each game stage to remind you this is a horror game. The second track has a catchy boogie beat so I decided to add a bit of improvisation. I may have gone off the rails a bit, but at least I incorporated riffs from the...
Pool of Radiance C64 piano arrangement
มุมมอง 2.6K4 ปีที่แล้ว
Home gig #32, June 2 2020. I decided to wear tails for this one because according to the composer (David Warhol) this piece was written in the style of Wagner, inspired by the opening of Wagner's opera Siegfried.

Druid II / Fairlight Intro C64 piano arrangement with gameplay
มุมมอง 3.6K4 ปีที่แล้ว
Home gig #31, May 30 2020. This is my first transcription since 2015. At first I played per the original, but the timbre has a nice echo and I wanted to mimic that sound, so I added tremolo and double-strikes. Gameplay footage took a while because I had never played it until this weekend. Back in the 80's the only Druid game I knew about was the first one. Composer: David M. Hanlon, 1987 www.mo...
Druid C64 piano arrangement with gameplay
มุมมอง 2.9K4 ปีที่แล้ว
Home gig #30, May 26 2020. The game Druid is considered a "Gauntlet clone" but I liked it much better than Gauntlet, and the music is definitely more memorable. Hopefully some folks will notice my Druid costume. Composer: David M.

Mail Order Monsters C64 piano arrangement
มุมมอง 1.2K4 ปีที่แล้ว
Home gig #29, May 25 2020. Another catchy tune by Tommy Dunbar, and one of my top 10 favorite C64 games. The first tune is very challenging because it is almost entirely white keys. You might think that makes it easy, but playing all white keys is actually very difficult! Composer: Tommy V.

Well done sir
This takes me back in time. Great!
i would literally load up the game just to listen to this piece of music. besides you being insanely good player, what a treat to hear it on piano!!! THANK YOU so much for sharing this with the rest of us. do you have sheet music you can point us towards?
musescore.com/user/2891181/scores/913636
I remember playing that game for ages on my C64. When I had been on vacation other people just looked amazed how good I was playing it in the arcade version! 😂
That was insane! Amazing effort! Monty approves
Nice one! So many memories of playing Paperboy on the C64.
Sounds great. But for my PAL ears the tempo seems too fast.
Yeah!
That song looks insanely difficult to play.
Now this takes me back! I had all 3 Spy vs Spy games on C64. I liked Spy vs Spy 2: The Island Caper the best. Considering how much I played it, there's no way I'll ever forget that tune. Thanks for the memory flashback!
So sick. The sword fighting music is the best part.
Brilliant!My favourites are, just like with the original SID, the intro (opening credits), "Final Victory" / Outro (they belong together for me; some see "Final Victory" and "The End" as separate pieces) and "The Tournament". I try to imagine what these pieces sound like on a harpsichord. Any chance you could get to play a harpsichord with these arrangements? ;) Or does someone know if this soundtrack has been played on such an instrument and where to get it? Anyway: it looks like it is VERY hard to play, definetly not for beginners. Love it!
nice
Dónde ha estado toda mi vida este genio!?
Класс! Я специально слушал эту музыку на "Commodore 64"! Вообще там музыка была отличная, "Commando", "Boulder Dash" - чего стоит!!!
Many thanks for highlighting this under-appreciated piece of music!
Eargasm...the outfit swap is brilliant!
How could I possibly get a copy of your arrangement????
I’m playing the official score. you might find it on ebay or amazon. its this one: www.scribd.com/document/571184896/Quiet-Village
I love your retro music. I find myself playing it on my stereo at almost full volume reliving my glory commodore 64 days. thanks, great talent. I just may make a video of the Aliens game now.
this is so soothing... thank you! reminds me of 70-80'ies alan parsons songs.
Outstanding!
bravo!
Epic notes!!!
wooooow!!!! One of my favourites C64 tunes!!! Great! Bravo!!!
Still loving this! Please do more.
RIP Richard Joseph. Great music, as always... Amazing piano arrangement, kudos! One of the best C64 themes ever made! Very complicated and outstanding. Poledouris and Josep were genius!
the ghostly part 😍
I don't think I heard one bad note in the whole tune. That was incredibly well done. One of my all time fave tunes from the Retroyears... Many thanks for sharing and well done.
Please, play ”Zoids”. th-cam.com/video/GEeV1aPWz14/w-d-xo.html
Ahhhh, the memories...
What a lovely channel! Gears and all to perform the pieces! Very talented!
Steinway O?
Steinway B. The fallboard was badly scratched, but I’ve refinished it now 😊
Just amazing. You have a great talent. I played this game 40 years ago and have never forgotten the tune.
Amazing
That's awesome and masterfully done. Chilly Willy brings back memories from my childhood -- I played it on Commodore 64 back then.
bro thats awesome!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Brilliant arrangement - I notice you made a bunch of these 4 years ago (at the time of this comment) and they really deserve to have gotten more views!
NIce touch.
Crusader Kings from the before times... such fond memories of this game. It has a unique charm that I don't think any other game has quite captured. The soundtrack is also utterly unique. It's this weird combination of bombastic, medieval-sounding, expressive, and epic.
Human SID! Kudos!
Da staunt der Experte und der Laie wundert sich. 😂
This is wonderfully played!
Sir Clubworth-Halloween Trainer
Wohooo! “CONAN! WHAT IS BEST IN LIFE?” To crush your enemies, see them driven before you, and to hear the lamentation of their women.
This is amazing! I’ve listened to this video several times over the last week. I love it! I don’t know how you keep it all in your head. I can’t even remember how it all goes, let alone play it. I hope you know how awesome you are!
Ooooooooo shit♥️♥️♥️♥️💪🏽
This made me smile for six straight minutes.
I think the only way to do this better is maybe playing it on a cembalo
So fast i love it!
fantastic playing, thanks!
