C64

The music genre "C64," shorthand for Commodore 64, is a form of chiptune that originates from the distinctive sound chip of the iconic 1980s home computer, the Commodore 64. Harnessing the computer's SID (Sound Interface Device) chip, artists like Chris Huelsbeck, PRESS PLAY ON TAPE, and Rob Hubbard have cultivated a unique auditory palette characterized by bright, bleepy synth melodies, crunchy basslines, and energetic arpeggios. Typically nostalgic and often intricately composed, C64 music captures the technological constraints and creative innovation of the early days of computer gaming. The genre's scene celebrates both original compositions from games of the era and current music that emulates its retro digital aesthetic. As a tribute to early digital music-making, the C64 sound has transcended its original context to influence a range of electronic music producers and enthusiasts.
