commodore 64 game music played by a classical ensemble
For this orchestra productiehuis ON joined forces with Micromusic Netherlands and invited members of the Dutch Ricciotti ensemble. Conducted by Bas Wiegers they are the C64 orchestra.
This unique orchestra focuses on the gamemusic made for the groundbreaking 80s computer, the Commodore 64. Micromusic and ON also approached two of the most experienced C64-composers of the 1980's: Rob Hubbard and Jeroen Tel. The C64 orchestra performs their music, with scoring done by Rob Hubbard himself. The game scores that are performed include the following Rob Hubbard compositions: Delta, Commando, Monty on the Run, One Man And His Droid and International Karate.
Also Jeroen Tel's Cybernoid II, Hawkeye, Myth and Supremacy will be performed.
INFO ON THE CD CALLED RUN 10
After massive response we got from fans all over the world, asking for a cd, the big question was: when will the RUN 10 cd be released?
Run 10 is released in Europe and in the States! It's a limited release and we consider it to be a great piece of art. And yes, it isn't cheap, but the good things in life don't come cheap! Not only the artwork is something else, but it is also a 2 cd release, with @ cd 1: the c64 orchestra studio recordings and @ cd 2: the original c64 gamemusic, interviews, live footage, a remix by Deltabeats and MORE.

Let’s play ON!
The C64 orchestra is a productiehuis Oost-Nederland (ON) production. For this project, ON is working closely with Micromusic Netherlands.
Productiehuis ON is primarily creating new music and crossovers on the edges of the world of popculture. Their motto is "ONusual stuff for normal people".
Micromusic is a web community which roots lie deeply in retro-games music. Within the micromusic scene, game computers do not merely function as a game console, but as a musical instrument as well.
The live recordings at this website were made at the international premiere 22 September 2006 in the Gigant in Apeldoorn by Deltabeats. The cd design is done by HOTEL Amsterdam
