A sad SID loop that I later decided should contribute in the Ringtone Music Compo at CSDb.

A question I’ve been asked from time to time about my web site DeepSID is how the SID composers in the MUSICIANS folders have been divided according to the quality of their songs.
All of the composer folders in each letter folder inside MUSICIANS have received a rating from 1-5 stars. I then decided that a certain amount of stars, say 3, determines that the composer is at least okay, maybe even good. If the rating is 4 or more, it’s a great composer.
This was done because I needed this division for at least three features of DeepSID:
I knew that judging the composers to fit these three features would be a sensitive area. Even a minefield. I thought for a while about how I wanted to proceed doing this. I really wanted to involve a lot of people, but there were complications. Let’s go through each of these.
A short medieval SID loop made for Like It’s ’83 Music Compo 2021 where it is supposed to sound like it was made in 1983. For that reason it was crudely made on purpose – no hard restart, etc.

This is a 20-seconds SID loop I originally intended to expand upon, but later I just used it in the 2020 Short Music and SFX Loop Competition at CSDb. Do you think I should make a longer version out of it?

This is a small loop I composed in my mind one day I was walking down past a brook towards my mother’s house. It was later released for the 2020 Short Music and SFX Loop Competition at CSDb.

This is my first tune in SID Factory II. It’s a remix of All Around The World by ATC.
It’s also my first attempt at creating something I call “filter speech” which is speech emulation using filter and pulse in just one voice.

Here’s a cover of Childish Games by Lstn. Most of it was made in CheeseCutter in June 2019 as an extension to a filter chord test. I tweaked it a little bit before releasing it for the 2020 Quarantine Emotional Music Compo at CSDb. I later had to retract it as the competition doesn’t allow covers.

Here’s the SID tune I made for the teaser of Vandalism News #70.
The intro tune was composed in CheeseCutter in March 2018. It was something I came up with on my Korg M1 in the beginning of the 90’s. It’s easy to play, even for a keyboard klutz like me.

Here are the pictures I took at the Dexion demo party at Højstrupskolen in Odense, 26-29 December 1990. It’s the final series taken with that lousy camera I used at the time.
Here are two pictures from the Censor Halloween party in Gothenburg, Sweden, held in November 1990. I thought I had more pictures from this party, but at least they show a few interesting C64 freaks.
