peter made us a nice mix of (mostly) death metal, with bands such as deicide, cannibal corpse, obituary and six feet under. very different from previous episodes, but that’s a good thing!

New Commodore 64 Orchestral Medley!

---

From PLAY! A Video Game Symphony:SAN FRANCISCO, Calif., November 21, 2006 - Jason Michael Paul Productions, Inc. announced today that PLAY!, a symphony concert world tour with music from a catalogue of blockbuster video game titles will come back to the city of Stockholm, Sweden with two concerts on Saturday, June 2, 2007. After the great success this year, PLAY! will return to Scandinavia with an all new show. Highlights of the concerts include the world-premiere performance of the monumental FINAL FANTASY VI - DANCING MAD presented by full orchestra, choir, pipe organ and rock band. Video game titles CASTLEVANIA, THE ELDER SCROLLS IV: OBLIVION, SHADOW OF THE COLOSSUS, THE REVENGE OF SHINOBI and THE DARKNESS by Swedish game developer Starbreeze will be a part of the shows as well. As a special surprise for European fans PLAY! will feature two brand-new medleys of music from Commodore 64 and Commodore Amiga classics, supervised by game music experts Chris Abbott (BACK IN TIME album series) and Jan Zottmann (IMMORTAL album series). Details to be announced shortly. The concerts in Stockholm, Sweden are taking place on Saturday, June 2, 2007 at 3 PM and 7:30 PM at the prestigious Stockholm Concert Hall and will be accompanied by the attendance of video games composers from all over the world. The music will be performed by the famous Royal Stockholm Philharmonic Orchestra and a chorus conducted by Grammy Award-winning artist Arnie Roth. The Royal Stockholm Philharmonic Orchestra will also treat the audience with some specially selected highlights from their traditional repertoire. Says Jason Michael Paul, producer of PLAY!, "We are excited to return to Stockholm. We have added new visuals, and new orchestrations to be performed for the first time as part of PLAY!. A concert event and cultural phenomenon not to be missed!" Says Stefan Forsberg, Executive and Artistic Director: "The PLAY!-show last June was a wonderful and unforgettable experience! The realization of PLAY! with the Royal Stockholm Philharmonic Orchestra is an example showing that the Stockholm Concert Hall is working with new ideas, and steadily looking for new angels on the symphonic repertoire. The PLAY!-concert was a true success and it has affected the organization and the musicians in many ways. We are looking forward to a new adventure!" Tickets will go on sale on Monday, November 27, 2006 at 11 AM and can be purchased through the Stockholm Concert Hall box office and online at Ticnet.se. Additional PLAY! concert dates will be announced as they are confirmed. For more details, visit www.play-symphony.com.

Another beautiful piece by Vincent Fugère (known as Viz/Vizion/Muhr). La Dernière Question is contemplative piece that I can best describe as short but sweet. Live guitars provide a nice accent. We hope you enjoy!

With the disappearance of Scenergy (link provided for "historical" reasons), there's not many places to get your up-to-date party information, so thanks to C-Jeff for sending me the results to ArtField'2006, which happened last weekend. Click on for the full results, and click here for a download pack - you'll need something that loads .TRD files to use it. Oh and it probably helps if you know how to use BestView.

Entire HVSC being recorded to MP3 from real C64's

---

The SOASC= (Stone Oakvalley's Authentic SID Collection) project is an automated mass recording technique which will record all of the current HVSC SID tunes played on real C64's both 6581 and 8580 chips.
So far 8365 tunes have been recorded in blistering quality from real C64 during a 3 week period. The project is due to be finished in February 2007, which after 4months of constant recording will result in the most incredible collection of real and authentic C64 sound ever. Calculated to about 93336 MP3 tunes sizing to about 400GB. Forget all emulation and SIDcards...this is the real deal in Commodore 64 music. Its time to set the foot down, and make it defintive, we want geniune sound. Head over to www.6581-8580.com and learn more!

Misc site fixes

Some small problems with SceneID integration on this main site have been fixed now (hopefully). I'd be glad to get some feedback, whether it seems to be working now or not. Also the 2MB upload limit that was enabled by mistake has been removed, now uploading demos should work without any problems. (again hopefully
