Since discussion on video-game music has been quite the subject I thought I'd bring the following to your attention. A coproduction between Micromusic Netherlands and Productiehuis Oost-Nederland (ON) sprung to life a project with members of the Dutch Riciotti ensemble and conductor Bas Wiegers for a real classical C64 Orchestra. Micro Music and ON approached two of the most experienced C64-composers of the 1980's, Rob Hubbard and Jeroen Tel. The Dutch Ricciotti ensemble will perform their music, with scoring done by Rob Hubbard himself. The game scores that are to be performed include the following Rob Hubbard compositions: Monty on the Run, One Man And His Droid and International Karate. Also Jeroen Tel's Cybernoid II, Hawkeye, Myth and Supremacy will be performed.

For more information on this project go to this site. The sites contains links to movies, song excerpts, videoblogs and personal information on Jeroen Tiel and Rob Hobbard.

A videopodcast on the rehearsals and on some interviews on both Ron and Jeroen. Great material, worth checking out.

Below a set of c64 demo disks containing quite a bit of Hubbard-music, use them in a good c64 emulator!
