Pellucid Effluvium Recording

Back in 2016, Cosine released a part for 'Crackers' Demo 5', the Crackers' Demo series of multi-part demos containing parts by various groups in the Commodore Plus/4 scene.  Information about and a download for the release can be found here...

I wrote the music for the demo using a PC based tool called Knaecketraecker, which is currently incomplete and thus possesses many 'unique quirks and challenges' to complement the challenges of the TED chip itself. I don't have a Plus/4, so this was played from within the tracker tool itself and recorded after passing through a Dolby amp.

At time of writing, this is my first (and so far only) TED tune, until I'm brave enough to venture into Knaecketraecker territory again.  As for the track title 'Pellucid Effluvium'... look it up... ;)

Listen to the TED tune below; if the player does not appear, hear it on my SoundCloud page here...

Crackers' Demo 5

The Crackers' Demo releases are a series of multi-part demos containing parts by various groups in the Commodore Plus/4 scene.  'Crackers' Demo 5' contains a part by Cosine.  I contributed the music, my first working on the Plus/4 TED chip.

The music was written using a PC based tool called Knaecketraecker.  Being 'kind', the tool can be described as 'purely functional' and combined with the challenges of the TED chip itself, this may (or not) account for the simplicity of the tune.  Still, it was an enjoyable challenge.

The demo can be downloaded from Plus/4 World here or from the Cosine website here.
