Release Platform: Vimeo

DESCRIPTION
One day during film school, I started to browse through all of my old VHS tapes, mostly filled with old movies and TV shows. During this process, I digitized a lot of the footage I found in this cable-TV-childhood-memory-treasure-chest. During that time I also started to work with the mssiah cartridge by 8bitventures. A piece of hardware / software that makes it relatively easy to control a Commodore 64 computers SID audio chip via MIDI. I decided to create a music video out of the VHS stock I digitized, to one of the tracks I made with the Commodore 64. The video you see here is the final result of this spare-time video / audio project. This video was later included into the Fornax Void work catalogue.
