c64 orchestra (very first rehearsal)

[GameMusicCompilation]

what is the name of this song?

[asassinoooo]

@GameMusicCompilation This is the main theme from Cybernoid II, you may listen it on watch?v=7UoEqEbxra4 :D

[sutasman]

clearly cybernoid 2 is the best, thats why its playing in the vid :p

[dpiktoria]

God Bless you All.

[stooart2008]

brilliant!

[spikeman14]

They should do Comic Bakery and Turbo outrun

[Abrimaal]

And Platoon and Robocop... but they play only Jeroen Tel's and Rob Hubbard's music,

but... Apocalyptica on their first album covered only Metallica, then they broadened their horizons. I hope they will do the same way.

[eelkonio]

Brilliant... I hope to see you in Den Haag or Eindhoven soon!!

[SoldierOfSunrise]

Iron Lord, MYTH and Supremacy have the best C64 music ever. (And even Origin's "Times of Lore" has a beautiful music.)

[abaddon75]

I respectfully disagree,

awesome as they are: lightforce, barbarian, Master of Magic and IK+ are better IMHO.

[succhiello]

"have the best C64 music ever"

I would like people stop to say thinkgs like this.

It's only you single, small, irrilevant, pityful opinion.

[NarcoticVictim]

Are more moz(ic)arts members involved in that thing and what about vibrants ???

[cosine303]

there are LOADS of musicians whose work they could cover.. BUT everyone knows Hubbard / Tel's work.. I'd like to see them cover Tim Follin + Martin Galway's work also and a fair few more Jonathan Dunn etc. but Galway / Follin are maybe the 2 next 2 well known people?

[trainsteve2007]

Yes belive it or not people my C64 STILL works we got it in 1984 and it is 24 years old this year and she is still kicking along.

Will this show ever come to Australia?

[productiehuisON]

Ofcourse... We like t come to australia, but dod you knwo a agenet who book our shows over there??

regards

C64 orchestra

[SPeacock]

Funny, because the C64 is originally a US creation.

[bat2001]

please come in italy!!!!

the best 4 me!!!!

[Gerardus1970]

Kom alsjeblieft naar Perth, Western Australia.

[analyzingfunny]

Tickets go on sale for the American Tour in March, don't miss it!

[thecmen]

then you know more then I do ;)

[productiehuisON]

HUH?? and more tha I do... Tell us more, because we are the organisers of the orchestra...

[w0ppe]

Yay for living in other places!

[tassadar1977]

This sucks. Why are the best c64 events so euro-centric? come to australia please!

[thecmen]

preferably in front of sydny's opera house, so my international karate video looks even cooler ;)

Well, if someone has a concrete plan we'll come

[tassadar1977]

We should start a petition thecmen :)

[thecmen]

hehe wouldn't mind going door to door down under, but living in Holland wouldn't facilitate it ;)

[blade004]

@tassadar1977 Agreed! I always wanted to see the Amiga demo scene in person since i had been following it since 1990 but to get ANY chance to see it i had to spend about $6000 in travel and expenses just live it out in Germany then fly all the way back to Australia.

I had a C64 before the Amiga but something like this NEEDS to come to Australia! There are SO MANY guys my age (36 for me) and older that (some younger too of course) would come to this orchestral event!!

PLEASE COME!

[javocris]

The Commodore 64 was a great machine. I still play some game emulated on my pc

[davejohnduke]

sid rules

[DaftMANIA]

I love that bassline jeroen tel spits!

[elporkchop]

It's such a shame the musicians sucked, the Platoon music was boss!!

[w0ppe]

Oh my Memories! GREAT NOSTALGIA FTW! I'M a FREAK for still liking and playing my AMIGA 2000. Like the C64 but better in ways. Love all this kind of musik!

[fthaimike]

some of the best c64 music i have heard of late is on some albums/dvds called "back in time" that have been redone on new technology

[Saur]

I've never actually seen Rob Hubbard before! O_o

His music is incredible, whichever game he lent his talent to are the ones I'll never forget.

[TomMinderson]

It would be interesting to hear the C-64 originals to compare.

[TechnicalFreak]

Sean Conolly also made good music on the C64

[carsonky]

Very nice, but actually my favorite song by far from Rob Hubbard was "Skate or Die". The guitar quality was pioneering for the system.

[MarkusUK]

GREAT, I'm sad that I wasn't there!

Go 64 ;o)

[Barca92]

holy shit! that music gave me goosebumps.  My eyes just watered a little.

[DaftMANIA]

great! I love this and finally saw Jereon Tel once! Haha he immediately busts out a nice beat. That guy could make awesome breakbeat or house music if he wanted to

[productiehuisON]

It was very nice!! Thanx everybody!

[thecmen]

hey thanks bro for posting :) guess you're the first to come out with any footage so far ! thanks to everyone who visited and the great crowd response, heartwarming ^_^

[zzapback]

The concert was excellent!

Search YouTube for 'Zzapback' and you'll find some filmsclips from the performance.

A big thank you to the organisers, the ensemble and of course Rob Hubbard and Jeroen Tel for their excellent compositions.

[IRTheBorg]

I don't know how I've missed for this long - COOL!

[productiehuisON]

Come to the netherlands this weekend!!

[pianoman74]

[pianoman74]

[thecmen]

hey, why not ? ;)

[Egregius]

Hell yes! Something I can hopefully visit myself!

[dvibe]

Awesome! Looking forward to a CD! :)

[lebasson]

Can't wait for the concert!!

[thecmen]

he doesn't do it for the money but because he thinks it's a nice project to do. The reason Rob is in this project is because initially I approached my good friend Jeroen Tel to have his music performed by a classical ensemble. Because we needed someone to do the scoring, Jeroen asked Rob, since he originally scored for orchestras. Under the condition that half of his tunes would be included he agreed .

[drprocton]

well...it's sad to see a genius like Hubbard doing such commercial stuff.

Out of money??

long life to true c64 spirit

[oksel]

Such commercial stuff? Don't you think there would be more profitable projects if he did it just for the money? Don't you think as a musician it would be great to have your music performed by an orchestra? Don't you think he is serving a lot of people out there? Didn't Rob Hubbard do *only* commercial stuff in his c64 days? Do you think Hubbard is only a true artist if he would stay stuck in his old job of writing assembly code music? Think about that before posting such an ignorant comment.

[blade004]

Its about time we saw orchestral remixes of C64 games, because im sick to death of seeing NES Mario remixed by every idiot out there!!.. Please more C64 material!.. :)

[phoenix1971]

I recognise Cybernoid 2 theme right away....memories are made of this :-)

[productiehuisON]

The premiere of the concert is on the 22th of september and it takes place at Gigant(www.gigant.nl) in Apeldoorn (Netherlands)and check also www.myspace.com/c64orchestra

[AnalogX]

Cool...Looking forward to the CD Release.

[thecmen]

plans are to release a cd indeed...

first, touring ^_^

[Arotto]

awsome, i want the cd :)

[grazeyphf]

Nice hearing Rob.... and the Hull accent is still there :)

[aufsturz]

this will be interesting...

[thecmen]

6 tracks have been fully scored,the last 4 rob is busy on finishing. one man and his droid, international karate and monty on the run sound great so far, even though the vid posted here is merely the first rehearsal, without any practise whatsoever. (first time the musicians even see the score)

[bunnyhero]

this gives me chills :)

[Dani128]

Very interesting, is there a website for this?

[thecmen]

whoops,didn't read your comment yet :)

well, http://www.oninternet.nl

there is text in english about it too,

keep that in check !

tour in holland will start in september

thanks ! hope you liked the small vid,

more audio coming soon I suppose.

[Dani128]

Thank you, I'm reading it right now ;)
