I would change the perspective and instead of stressing the age of the machine, I would point out that it was made in 1980s. In other words, it is relatively modern. Mostly the prices are changed since that time (due to the better tech.processes etc.). I don't remember any major revolution since that time. C64 is small and maybe even primitive compared to modern computers, but it is perfectly capable of some impressive computations.
Man the algorithm just showed me your videos and I find out you've not posted in three years? Hope you're doing well, man, and thanks for leaving us some good stuff on here!
Reminds me of being a kid and stumbling across demo files from hackers in Finland that had complex music like this with all kinds of trippy graphics that really pushed the limits of what the C64 could do.
Yannes, the SID designer, was specifically after synth-like capabilities for the C64, instead of the usual bleeps and bloops from the 8-bit home computers of the era.
Beeble, I've commented once before, your videos keep ending up on my recommended and I am never disappointed. Your blend of musical talent and somehow bringing me back to the music of my youth, the 80's, is amazing. I hope you are using your talents somewhere to make a comfortable living doing something you love. Thanks for what you do. And I'm almost old enough to be your Grandpa. It would be fun to know what you do 9 to 5 if you would share.
This is one of the best Prog-Rock MIDI Tracks that I've ever heard. This is up there with Megalovania, Dr. Wily's Castle, and The Song of Storms (from Ocarina of Time). This is some top-tier Ronald Jenkees level stuff. Dannng.
It can do sub tones just fine also, I can rattle the subs with the right waveforms. Especially with two slightly out of phase channels. Sid chip is a legend.
As a fairly prolific C64 musician in the 80s, everything was done in the machine, 3 voices, end of. Never seen anyone use the 64 as a standalone multi-tracked synth. Excellent stuff!!
No freakin way!! I love some of the obscure computer products that have been released over the years. This one is, one of the cooler ones I've seen. Thanks for sharing.
Love the 64 sound and that clip on keyboard!!! Got it with the Kawasaki Rhythm Rocker back in the day. Great tune with classic C64 instruments/and filtering!!!
I remember my family having that keyboard attachment for our C64. I spent countless hours on a Yamaha synth program. I even remember a sentimental piece "Tears on my 64".
Kinda sounds like soulstice on the NES, but mixed with some very genesis-y themes and sounds. This is the kind of stuff I wanna hear more of. Hope you’re making music for indie games cause lol any genre of game would be lucky to have this as their theme song
Really cool 6581 Jams, Beeble! I'm seeing a lot of people getting really amazing sounds from the SID 6581 synth chip. I recently did a project using the C64 as a solo synth instrument with guitar, bass, drums and piano all played by me. Video is on my channel if you're interested in these things. Excellent song!
Hi, first of all thank you for this gem. 2 questions if you can help me: 1) why, if the SID chip can handle 5 voices, don't you see 6 in the Messiah software? 2) but are 80's soundtracks like Pacman etc made this way? with these software or by programming by hand in basic for commodore? thanks again
You look like gamer Neil Cicierega. That's a compliment.
I dressed as him for halloween last year so that's hilarious lmao
i realize Im kind of randomly asking but do anybody know a good website to watch new series online?
@Derrick Amir Flixportal :D
@Bowen Alfonso thank you, signed up and it seems like a nice service :) I really appreciate it !!
@Derrick Amir Glad I could help :)
And when the world needed him the most, he vanished
Yeah, just had a video of his on my feed. Such a musical and video talent.
most likely was between jobs and is a professional.
He'll come back when the stars align and he feels like it (we all do).
Absolutely beautiful. C64 is still an absolutely incredible music machine, 40+ years later.
I would change the perspective and instead of stressing the age of the machine, I would point out that it was made in 1980s. In other words, it is relatively modern.

C64 is small and maybe even primitive compared to modern computers, but it is perfectly capable of some impressive computations.
At this point, the C64 has entered the league of timeless synthesizers, it will never die.
Man the algorithm just showed me your videos and I find out you've not posted in three years?
Hope you're doing well, man, and thanks for leaving us some good stuff on here!
Ytbers sometimes go on a 6 year hiatus, sometimes they disappear. Makes no difference
Yep, brought here by the algo as well… Ok, it took algo 3 years, but at least it was on point his time - this is fire!
Same here, the algorithm for me here.
This is the track the world needed but did not deserve.
Reminds me of being a kid and stumbling across demo files from hackers in Finland that had complex music like this with all kinds of trippy graphics that really pushed the limits of what the C64 could do.
we all miss the insane work of the demoscene
The SID lead and the arpeggio hits me hard!
Yannes, the SID designer, was specifically after synth-like capabilities for the C64, instead of the usual bleeps and bloops from the 8-bit home computers of the era.
Great work means great income
The SID and Paula and the variety of Yamaha YM chips, perfectly magical music machines.
@HappyBeezerStudios yep when computers had character & actual dedicated sound chips.
Somehow this feels like something that would be played in Animusic, and I absolutely love it. It's got such a fun and funky sound to it.
Young man, this sh!t is fire. What I don't understand is how the algorithm took three years to show me this. You suck, TH-cam.
went from pretty good, to great, to mind-blowing fucking awesomeness.
Are you keeping up with the Commodore? Because the Commodore is keeping up with YOU.
This sounds futuristic and a stanky amount like the 80's at the same time, I goddamn love it!
Got that Neo 80s funk!
This is one of the coolest videos ive ever seen using retro tech. Great production, was well put together.
The track earned the like, the behind-the-scenes earned the subscribe!
Came for the tone. Stayed for the skills.
Another *_AMAZING_* newly original retro tune. *LOVE IT!*
Yes Patrick, the Commodore 64 is an instrument.

Hey! I work as a recording and mix engineer at a studio nearby, couldn't be happier. Thanks for the kind words!
THIS SLAPS SO GODDAMN HARD, JUST-- YES, YES, SO MUCH YES
This man is clearly the Jan Hammer of the Commodore 64
Ronald Jenkees more like.
Damn. That's good. Also cool to see tech from last century age like fine wine.
You're joking right? The C64 was only released a decade ago, right? Right? God, I'm so old.
@@Akheloios lol
Relatable.
Got to love the sound of the Commodore 64 SID chip, love listening to SID tunes on my Commodore 64. So gritty and cool.
the you my love my channel as well^^
This is one of the best Prog-Rock MIDI Tracks that I've ever heard. This is up there with Megalovania, Dr. Wily's Castle, and The Song of Storms (from Ocarina of Time).

The C64 SID chip is legendary for a reason.
drops absolute banger, refuses to elaborate
It can do sub tones just fine also, I can rattle the subs with the right waveforms. Especially with two slightly out of phase channels. Sid chip is a legend.
I got recommended this 3 years too late for my liking, but better late than never. I did not know what to expect but stayed for a whole banger.
Excellent work and music! Gives me flashbacks to my old Amiga days making (and listening to) Octamed Mods. :)
I am completely blown away!!!!
Great sound
Your up in the stratosphere . I got a lot of respect for this kind of creativity.
Tape it ALL down brother! Tape it like it's 1988!
bro came outta nowhere and made a banger
Really cool song
Also, I can't be the only one that caught that reference at 2:49
As a fairly prolific C64 musician in the 80s, everything was done in the machine, 3 voices, end of. Never seen anyone use the 64 as a standalone multi-tracked synth. Excellent stuff!!
That bass demads authority.
You did a sick performance!!!!
Awesome stuff buddy!!!
You ar e a Monster! Absolutely Genius
I could listen to this all day, thanks
No freakin way!! I love some of the obscure computer products that have been released over the years. This one is, one of the cooler ones I've seen. Thanks for sharing.
Really cool I never knew the c64 could sound so nice, you're really good on those drums too 👍
Commodore 64 is like a MiniMoog
@@ssg-eggunner Not even close.
@@-x21- well yeah since it literally has only 3 voices opposed to the 32 ones it would initially have
@@ssg-eggunner IIRC the c64 has a 2pole lowpass filter vs the minimoogs 4 pole. It's a very different sounding filter.
Gotta love the 6581 filter “rip” distortion
amazing work
Atari & commodore retro synthwave
Very Very Fantastic !
Genius, using the paddles like that!!
I'm having an Eargasm.
I know you did this as a tech demo and all, but man, that was a nice groove, son 👍
Love the 64 sound and that clip on keyboard!!! Got it with the Kawasaki Rhythm Rocker back in the day. Great tune with classic C64 instruments/and filtering!!!
Fantastic music, you are great musician! This track sound like Daft Punk from never released album from the 80s 👍 Amazing
Jesus Christ... This is fantastic. Incredible work, dude.
That song was EPIC
You & C64 rule my friend. A well deserved like for you!
SO COOL !
Love the ols C64 tune. After 40+ years, SID still rocks.
Thanks for the extremely dank jam session. I'm shaking my head at how the very first computer I ever touched is still making beautiful things in 2024.
Great work and effort. I love it.
I don't know why I never incorporated my 64 into my music.
Something for me to work on.
Wow! I would pay to go to a theatre to see and hear you play songs like this! Great musician, great machine! Love it! C64ever!
This song is amazing. I also have never seen the paddles used to control the waveform/volume/pitch like that before, that's really cool.
I just started banging my head and teared up a little...BAD ASS BRO! 😭🤜
Where did you go Beebl? The world needs you!
I remember my family having that keyboard attachment for our C64. I spent countless hours on a Yamaha synth program. I even remember a sentimental piece "Tears on my 64".
Time to run the Shadows...
Rob Hubbard is proud of you.
I love chiptune sounds.
Sooooo Nerdy ! I love it!
Awesome Atari paddles and jacked C64! 5 bats.
Dude this was amazing.
My inner child and I both really love this. Absolutely Epic.
The art of music......wonderfull, -> thank you
Cool beans. Watch out Rob Hubbard..
That sounds so fresh and Classy. This Keyboard in 1984 would have been a Banger too.❤
That SID CHIP!
Holy Hannah! I'm way way beyond "impressed" by this. Thanks for posting.
the tape does not surprise me! a friend had the keyboard overlay for his 64 and it wasn't the most secure thing...
Great groove,sounds fantastic.
Welle:Erdball makes extensive use of C64 in their music!
Kinda sounds like soulstice on the NES, but mixed with some very genesis-y themes and sounds. This is the kind of stuff I wanna hear more of. Hope you’re making music for indie games cause lol any genre of game would be lucky to have this as their theme song
Where is this insanely creative gent now?
Amazing thank you for your talent
This track was damned cool!! I love it!
Some people say the 8-bit machines are dead...
Awesome! What drum kit and drum vst is that? It sound so good
Great to hear and see the good old C64👍
peak of techology is C=64, just need more channels :)
Great use of the best soundcard
Very nice tune!!! Cheers!
the c64 hybridized with a keyboard is the answer to all of life's questions.
Outstanding!!!
Never heard the C64 like that!
when it comes to this sound i think of regular show
What a cool track!
OK, the paddles are genius.
That's one humble hardcore bow out.
Bangin track my dude 🔥
This is simply Great! Grooving like hell and so good!
Still an amazing machine after all these years. It was my second computer! (First one was a VIC-20).
Where has this been in my recommended. Awesome job.
That BASS! Make more. Something slow & smooth and with that bass. 80s Vaporwave or something. The bass frequencies are so nice.
nicest track, to jam with a korg monologue and it FITS!
Nice job!
I think this music should be part of one forthcoming Mega65 demo or game.
Thumbs up!
Really cool 6581 Jams, Beeble! I'm seeing a lot of people getting really amazing sounds from the SID 6581 synth chip.

This is it... The greatest TH-cam recommendation of all time
