Spectrum Loading Screen Noise Dance Track

Post by Zzap64! »

Hey guys,

Anyone remember that track that was on the World of Spectrum set of CDs and is a dance track made entirely of loading screen static?

Has anyone got any links to it perchance? Or youtubeable?

Would like to show some of the lads at work as it's a late night tonight! ...still here working away... :)

Not heard of that, but here's something fun :)

http://www.binaryzone.org/podcast/
AY-UP! It's The AY-3-8912 Show! Yep, the one man known as Kenz is back at his trusty mic to host an hour-long show devoted to the awesome chip-music from the mighty Sinclair ZX Spectrum 128 and Amstrad CPC computers. This show features classic game themes from 8-bit music legends including David Whittaker, Tim Follin, Ben Daglish, Jonathan Dunn and Rob Hubbard! As well as music from Speccy & Amstrad games the show also contains music from the new Pimp My Chips music disk along with a corking track from the brilliant AY-Riders + much more retro gaming fun!
Oh, and it's by our very own Kenz :D

Both .TAP file (could only get it working in the SPIN emulator) and MP3. Quite amazing really.

Is that the loading music thingy? If so, that is incredible. :)

It is, and yes, it's amazing. Those are the actual loading pulses being manipulated by the manner in which the data was saved to tape.

If you've a Speccy emulator handy (I'd recommend ZXSpin, but then - I would, wouldn't I?) then you could try these:

This is the same principle, but this time it's done with meaningful data. this one is just cheating though :-)

Enjoy.

That is shit.

But then I do not like dance music nor Spectrums, so it might explain it.

Add Bruce Forsyth to it somehow and you pretty much got me. Die die die.
