So really I am testing the ATEM MINI PRO and headset mic here. I think I got it close but when I started dialing the grit in using the LEVEL on the SF1 you can really hear it pushing (which is a good thing, but less good for video levels). This is fun."

c64 games sid music compilation

Uploaded on May 12, 2011 einokeino303

"I compiled this music for a CD about a year ago so I could blast my friends with it during our summer gathering at my friends lakeside cabin. I now decided to share it. Most of this music has already been uploaded to YT in separate videos by various users. This compilation mostly focuses on later era c64 game music and doesn't try to be my favorite song list. It's a collection of few tunes I was listening at the time.

I thought it would be fun not to write down where the music was taken from so everyone has a chance to guess. If people seem interested I'll add the name of composer and the track at the bottom of this description after each correct guess. For now I'll just leave the track names blank. I was planning to give a thumb up for each correct guess, but it looks like that can't be done in YT.

All tracks were recorded from Sidplay and not from a real c64.

Tribute to Dr. Bob: Erik Norlander's Galactic Collective & More to Benefit the Bob Moog Foundation

"Tribute to Dr. Bob: Erik Norlander's Galactic Collective, Steven and Drew Heller, Weave Sonic Inspiration to Benefit the Bob Moog Foundation

Asheville, NC - March 26, 2014... In tribute to pioneer Bob Moog's upcoming 80th birthday, maestro synthesist Erik Norlander and his band The Galactic Collective will perform a benefit concert for the Bob Moog Foundation at Isis Music Hall on May 8, 2014 at 8pm. Opening for the band will be Drew Heller, the guitarist for Toubab Krewe, joined by his father, Grammy award winning producer/composer Steven Heller. Tickets are $20, with proceeds benefitting Dr. Bob's Sound School, the Foundation's hallmark educational project.

The Galactic Collective is a re-imagining of Norlander's favorite instrumental songs written for his band Rocket Scientists, his chanteuse spouse Lana Lane, and his many solo albums including Threshold, Into the Sunset, Music Machine and Seas of Orion. He is an accomplished keyboardist and composer who has produced over 30 albums. He has toured and recorded as the keyboardist and co-writer for the Asia spinoff, Asia Featuring John Payne, since 2007 and has also toured extensively with Big Noize, a hard rock supergroup featuring Joe Lynn Turner, Vinny Appice and other rock luminaries. Norlander has been an enthusiastic supporter of the Bob Moog Foundation since 2007, including performing the benefit Moogus Operandi at Asheville's Orange Peel in 2011.

Norlander comments, "Bob Moog brought a new voice to the musical landscape, and our musical vernacular would be very different without his enduring contribution. The Moog name is synonymous with art, science and innovation, and as a keyboardist and synthesist, I can think of no greater tribute than using Bob's timeless inventions as the core instruments in my own craft."

Steven Heller was a longtime friend and colleague of Bob Moog. He has won two Grammy Awards, as well as a number of national awards for his music and recordings. He was production music supervisor for the 1995 Miramax film, "The Journey of August King." and wrote and produced the theme music for "Conversations" and "Evening Rounds," listener call-in programs on the public radio station WCQS.

"Bob was a brilliant, funny, creative, spiritual, loving and generous man," remarks Heller. "I will always cherish our friendship."

Guitarist Drew Heller tours nationally with Afro fusion band Toubab Krewe. Toubab Krewe's first album, Toubab Krewe was released in 2005, around the time that Moog was critically ill. The band's exceptional musicianship left him sonically inspired. Moog's 80th birthday is May 23rd.

Michelle Moog-Koussa, Executive Director of the Bob Moog Foundation, adds, "On the eve of Bob's 80th birthday, it is a fitting tribute to have these two musical acts converging for an evening of celebration and reverence for Bob's enduring legacy of inspiration though sonic exploration. We are grateful to all of the musicians involved for making this possible."

Isis Music Hall, located at 743 Haywood Road in West Asheville, prides itself on a high quality audio experience. Isis is renowned for its dinner service, which begins at 5pm each evening. Diners may come any time before the show begins. This show will be both standing and seated. Tickets are available at:

"VOICES: Toubab Krewe's One-of-a-Kind Connection to Bob Moog through the Network of Creativity

"They are such damn good musicians that I just wish I could dance with Ileana to their music"

-- Bob Moog speaking about Toubab Krewe in the month before his passing

On August 21, 2005, Bob Moog succumbed to an aggressive brain tumor. His passing touched legions of people around the world.

In the month prior to his passing, Bob discovered the music of Toubab Krewe, an new, local african/rock fusion band who was, at the time, managed by Bob's longtime friend Steven Heller. One sleepless night he listened to their new self-titled CD over and over again, and was deeply moved by the quality of the musicianship. This beautiful video explores the reach of the Moog Legacy as it has touched Toubab Krewe and as it is manifested in the Bob Moog Foundation.

We owe a huge thanks to many people who helped make this video a reality. The video was shot in the studio of world-class Echo Mountain Recording in Asheville, North Carolina. The owner, Steve Wilhelm and their manager, Jessica Tomilson, continue to be a wonderfully supportive to the Foundation's mission. The exceptional filmmaking team that donated their services to make this video a possibility was a collaboration between David Bragg of Flying Pigs Studio and the late Margaret Lauzon of Studio South, among other local talents."
