    • Neuer Album Chip erreicht nun auch den C64

      After releasing music albums as game cartridges for the Super Nintendo, Sega Mega Drive or Gameboy consoles, the electronic musician Remute is taking everything even a step a further and releases his new album To The Bone as a chip cartridge for the most popular homecomputer ever - the Commodore C64!
      It doesn't get any more chiptune than this.
      Please see the official press text below --->

      "I was the kid that stayed in his room while other kids were playing soccer. I was happily surrounded by homecomputers and gameconsoles instead. They made me, educated me, entertained me. Especially one machine is responsible for pretty much my whole mindset - the Commodore C64! Got it when I was five and it was the beginning of my strong friendship with technology and my everlasting technoptimism. The look, the feel, the sound - it blew my mind and still does! It's the homecomputer I programmed and it programmed me...forever."

      The mind of Remute - it grew up on 64k. And so he finally goes back to his earliest roots and delivers a full album for the Commodore C64 homecomputer. These 20 brandnew songs will give you a brutally honest insight into the life and mindset of the musician. Contradictions, irrational twists and unconditional happiness in the dark and in the light. Only the C64's SID-chip is capable of capturing it all. This is Remute... TO THE BONE!

      "To The Bone" comes as a chip cartridge for the C64. Pure chip beauty. It doesn't get any more chiptune than this.
      It runs flawlessly on all revisions of the C64, no matter if PAL or NTSC.
      A 8580 SID is recommended, but it sounds cool on a 6581 too.

      All music gets generated in realtime by the SID soundchip of the C64 - except 'In The Dark' which showcases stunning, high quality native digital audio playback you never heard before like this on the C64!

      The player and GUI were programmed together with Remute's dreamteam consisting of demoscene coder Kabuto and graphic artist Alien, who already collaborated with him on his previous albums Technoptimistic, Living Electronics or his new Sega Mega Drive game Decoder.

      Custom PCB-Board design by Mr Tentacle, who already cooperated with Remute on his PC-Engine album Electronic Lifestyle or on the Cult Of Remute for SNES.

      A download to the .CRT-File will also be included upon release - just in case you want to listen to this album on your favourite emulator or THEC64 mini / maxi.

      To The Bone can be pre-ordered now for 34.99 € via Remute's Bandcamp page .
      ( remute.bandcamp.com/album/to-the-bone ) and will get shipped on July 7h 2023.
      You can also grab a very limited 'Plus Edition' for 44.99 € which includes an addtional 7" vinyl featuring audio data containing a hidden program which you can load into the C64 via Tape interface, alternative versions of the songs 'To The Bone' & 'In The Dark' and the exclusive bonus track 'C64 Dinosaur'.
