C64 Wally Beben's Tetris music oscilloscope view
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 2 ноя 2014
- Note, this one is for hardcore SID listeners, It is 26 minutes long with no looping :)
Found a player that solos the voices correctly (java SIDplay2), so all synchronization and ring modulation effects are visible. I also wrote a program to draw the wave forms instead of filming my oscilloscope! :)
On this one I had to patch the code in the SID file to get all 4 tracks, including the 4 bit sample playback.

Tetris 99: Awesome!
Tetris Effect/CD-i: It's... Perfect...
C64: H O L Y S H I T
If this was the official tetris theme.
@Bruce Da Moose To be fair it was fine for a casual player. I know it sucks if you are really good and into tetris compared to other versions- but if you dont know better it plays well enough. It didnt need to tho- you could just turn the game on and leave the music running :)
@I Live In A Van Down By The River I like your name lol
Don't forget Tetris CD-i, honestly, that entire soundtrack sounds like a 90s shopping mall in the best way.
dont forget grand master, tetrisphere and new tetris osts...
"It's just a silly little stacking puzzle game for a cheap 8 bit home computer, a 30 second loop should do."
Willy Beben composing a 25 minutes long banger track that takes up 1/5th of the system's available memory for no reason:
Wow, this piece actually has a classical sonata form structure, of exposition, a broad and sophisticated development section (nice variations of the themes), and a recapitulation (including a coda). Composer must be classically trained - most impressive.
It's always the unknown composers that make the best music
Wally Beben. I don't know his background but he did quite a bit of work on C64 games. Aside from the structure, what I think makes this impressive is that it still slaps in 2022, despite being made on 3 channels of 16 bit audio and a fourth channel that basically was a glitch and could only use sampled percussive or voice sounds. The SID chip was way ahead of it's time and allowed for beauties like this to be made.
I think it's rather a modified Scherzo and Trio due to the form being [ABA'][CDC'D'CED''C''][BA']. While in a sonata form, the development takes the existing themes and does new things with them.
Here is a rundown of each of the sections.

@@estefencosta1835 so that 4th channel exploit functions like the DPCM channel on the 2a03
@@Flo_Resolution Not really. DPCM on NES can be used in direct PCM mode, it just eats ALL the CPU. In DPCM mode it runs on its own (it has dedicated DMA). C64 samples "4th channel", using the master volume bug, requires constant and precisely timed CPU action, so more akin to direct PCM. It is worth noting btw that direct PCM was in docs while the SID glitch was not in official docs
Might as well get this off of my chest, Ive listened to this track all the way through many times, and the 26 minute track seems to have this cinematic Structure to it.
most if not all movies follow this structure, prologue, rising action, climax, epilogue.
And this track starts off slow and rather simple, sad, and dark... and slowly gets faster with an ever increasingly happier tone, untill we reach the mid way point at about 12 minutes into the track where the track is at its fastest and most uplifting.
then, it slowly and subtly transitions back down into its slower and sadder tones, but because the process is going in reverse this time, the tracks last parts feel satisfying and more sweet.
this feels like the soundtrack to an art film or a fantasy film, very magical!
AND THEN IT HITS ME THAT THIS MUCH EFFORT WAS PUT INTO A FUCKING TETRIS OST.
Three-movement form. Almost like a three-act play. Top-notch storytelling.
I love Hubbard, Tel and Galway etc, but Beben will always be my fav simply because of this.
It was probably so long so that players can get some progress out of it.
Well, Tetris is the greatest game ever made
Well, this is for a C64 version. You know how long those load times can get on those ancient computers, that's often why Commodore 64 songs are big, so you can have something to listen to as the game loads.
A great track that i discovered in the weirdest way possible. Through CFG USB Loader on the Wii.
emmanu888 Oh yes, so did I, but I'm scared by the beginning, but love the rock part, so I have nothing else to do than replace it with something else. Can you help me with choosing the song?

@@gereniccc4487Matt Gray's theme for Driller on C64 is also really long and really good too 😅
@@Zefrem23 ok
This is some strangely epic music for Tetris of all things.
It seems Tetris games have this effect on game music. I mean look at the soundtrack for Tetris Effect on PlayStation...!
@@HyRax_AusTetrisphere for N64 also has an intense soundtrack.
@@Sauvenil Will check it out - ta!
Playing Tetris on the Commodore 64,wow,whole family around the TV with this incredible music coming out of the speaker,we were all transifixed!
Incredible soundtrack and unique.
yes, this music would play in my head hours after I stopped playing the game.
Oscilloscope view helps a lot understanding how those SID effects work. You can read the timing of pulse wave duty cycle changes, ADSR envelopes and hear how they sound. Good stuff.
This song is the reason I fought myself through the game, till I got an awesome routine. When later my nephews came along with their Game Boys, I battled them to the ground :D hella good, from that day I was their cool uncle....
If this was the official tetris theme?
Incredible piece of music. It always astounds me how they managed to get the 3-sound-channel c64 to play a 4th channel as a sample track by bit-banging the volume register to cause a click many times per second.
the c64 has a bunch of methods for sample playback, each with their own pros and cons. the volume register method is prone to screwing with timings and master volume control
sorry, can you point out the 4th channel in this one? timestamp?
It first comes in at 2:59@@_devik
@@ririlot right
I was wondering why the oscilloscope had four traces for the three voice SID!
I remember the game got 98% for music in Zzapp 64. By the time I could afford it (I was 13) I had read the review. I loaded it up and listened to the whole 26 minute track twice before I played it for the first time.
Outstanding for it's time, and outstanding even by today's standards.
dam only 1 day ago and this one is 5 years old comment
Today's standard are way lower.
@@LarsTragel-zh7eiBack then they had to work with a lot less, and they did a lot more with a lot less. Now with full orchestral spectrum in their hands, the music just doesn't have the edge anymore that it used to - there's a lot of sharpness to chip sound that just doesn't carry through to analog instruments.
This is surely the greatest videogame soundtrack of all time - and one of the greatest electronic music compositions of all time too
I used to play this back in the day on my C64 all the time, occasionally I even played the game!

I wouldn't have caught without this comment 👍
No it is in 10/8.
@@DerpDerp3001 For those of us more used to counting CPU cycles than beats, can you explain for this song how to hear the difference?
@@BenInSeattle Basically when something uses 8ths, it means that the music is in compound meter where each beat is not divided into two. In 6/8, the measure is divided into 2 beats that is divided into 3 smaller beats, so the rhythm is 123-123. For the B section of this song, the rhythm is like this: 123-123-12-12, because the subdivisions are not divided into two, dividing it into 5 would not be suitable.
My beloved Configurable Usb Loader
Well, when I think of think of falling blocks that form rows at the bottom, this is NOT what I imagine would be the soundtrack! But it's an absolutely fantastic song. It really shows what the SID chip was capable of.
Nope, it can do more than this.
Yes or no, should this be the official Tetris theme?
@@DerpDerp3001 while this is an incredible piece of music, the original tetris theme fits the game better. there's quite a long intro, which wouldn't suite the arcadey gameplay. i'm glad this exists (although that bass is too loud for me) but i don't think it would work well as the main theme.
I remember recording this to a cassette in the late 80's (along with some Galway & Hubbard). I used to play it while I was coding 6502 on the C64. It reminds me of debugging code more than Tetris!!
I did the same. I had Amiga music recorded by my friend (I couldn't afford it) and C64 music recorded by me and I listened those for hours, for reading, studying, painting, coding, writing RPG modules... This Tetris and the Soul Crystal soundtrack were my favorites.
I can see how it'd be great for getting into the zone. Coding 6502 assembly must have made it perfect.
So long between comments, i guess, but i am - in the year 2024 - extremely happy you did this. If you ever come by Trondheim i will buy you a beer.
This is such a masterpiece. Emotional SID music! I was spending hours listening and staring on that great Tetris artwork ... Ah... memories...
I just learned everything about music.
Tetris on the C64 😊 I used this music to get asleep when I was younger
c-64 had the best tetris music!!!!!!!
Yes or No, should this be the official Tetris theme?
Yes
C64 had the best EVERYTHING music 😄. Not much of a mystery why: Makes sense that the best video game music would come from superior video game music composers, & all the true greats-for whatever reason-cozied up to the C64 above all other machines, & worked their audible wizardry on the SID chip
@@DerpDerp3001 The "official" tetris theme was released AFTER this. SMH. This version came out before the NES and Gameboy versions which were the first to include that music
@@lordevyl8317 like I mean should that be replaced with the C64 version to be the official song.
I started seeing some sort of landscape in these visuals.
This must be amongst the *greatest* 8 bit tunes EVER... Hats off... Oh man, when the synths kick in for the first time... And then it simply gets better and better and better... ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Oh Nostalgia - I remember booting this up and leaving it play on the credits just cause the music was soooooo daaaamn AMAZING !!!!
Same here!
Meditative...
SID was great, it was one thing that set the C64 apart from the rest. There was even a hack to install a second SID for stereo and a huge library of music just for that with the SIDplayer.
Epic track. Really captures the tension, dynamism, and grinding relentlessly-onward nature of Tetris.
I remember sitting next to the guy who created it. He asked me and a friend if we liked it!!! It got a big thumbs up!!! We didn't realise at the time how lucky we were to have the chance to meet him.
So it is Sunday afternoon. The wige and kids are out and I'm re-sealing the shower. And this music is playing and it has elevated me beyond thinking about the mundane tasks that come with middle age. This must be one of the greatest 64 tracks ever.
Wife. Not wige! :-)
daibonehead It reminds me so much of being in my parents house, in winter, huddled in the corner of the living room, Commodore 64 setup on the dining table, playing Tetris and listening to this whilst the wind whistled outside. It will always take me back to that time.
å
I absolutely love this music....all 26 minutes of it
the most powerful sid tune i'v heard on my c64. it just stays in your head. it doesn't really suit a tetris game, when you think about it..
I just adore this music, especially from about 12 minutes onwards!
+David Craddock It's the first few minutes that just melt me, but a great track all the way through
I love the part that goes from 0:00 to 25:51
Each session of the couch-to-5k training programme is between 20 and 35 minutes. Hearing this track reminds me that I should get back on it. Several great days stomping through my local woods to the sound of Tetris...
THE Tetris track if you ask me.
ColinZeal no. It would fit a more atmospheric game. If you notice the visuals of tetris on C64 it was supposed to accommodate the graphics otherwise the product would be complete shit. If the visuals were different the music would be different. But I wonder if you can use this in a modern retro-esque game.
This in my opinion fits minecraft nicely.
Random Minecrafter *facepalm* lol I think it fits 3d porn games perfectly.
See, if they added this instead of those other tracks to Minecraft, it wouldn't have died, and crashed, and burned...
@@daniela_dundel That's not very nice :(
@Wally Beben I am so grateful to you for the masterpiece you created, which has developed my sensitivity as a child and the person I became in my adult years... Years ago, back then in Poland where I lived, we didn't even have a tape recorder to listen to music, while a neighbor living one floor below in my block had a Commodore 64 and often played this game. As a child, I used to sit in my room next to the radiator (the blocks had central heating), because there was the best place to hear the sounds of music coming from another apartment. This is how I used to listen to a song that I considered, consider and will always consider as a masterpiece. Thank you, sir.
26 minutes in length, 13665 bytes in size. Eat your heart out Bill Gates ;)
I like real-time rendered music also.
What does Bill Gates have to do with this?
@@epatto I think it maybe a reference to Bill Gates saying PC would never need more than 640K memory......How wrong he was!
@@retrogamer33 As far as I know, he never said that. It's an urban legend.
20% of C64's memory
Plenty games on C64 were not so good as how much time I spent in them. Very often It was the incredible music what was holding me in them. And it is that music from them which keeps me remembering these games and those days.
Many composers of these times are (or were) true legends. And many of the song were born in their difficult times. I love these ages. In these the world was doing a big step forward to the future. Unfortunately now it is worse. Or mabye am I too old now? :-D
Listened to the whole thing
I hadn't listened to or even thought about this piece of music in over a decade, but for some reason the opening drum beat erupted into my thoughts yesterday and I knew I had to find it again. It's pure brilliance. I don't know how I let so much time pass between listens, but I won't make the same mistake again.
I bumped into this again a few years ago after remembering it randomly from my childhood. The C64 was already old news when I was young but we had one and I used it a lot as a little kid and for some reason I remembered this track. It was so good it got lodged in a 4 year olds mind and dredged up 30 years later lol.
I first heard this tune in my friend’s C64C and the guitar part was missing (owing to the “fix”). It wasn’t until I played the game on my bread bin at home that I realised it was there at all!
One of the greatest electronica tracks and my all time favourites! Thanks for posting.
I played this on my grandpa's C64 when I was a kid. A lot. Mostly just for this music.
This is such a great way to visualize the sounds! Especially as I'm learning my way around a Korg Prologue for my first synth. It's neat seeing the square wave swell and connecting that to the sound
Really awesome stuff!
2:59 That's when the fourth voice comes into play.
How does it have 4? C64 only has 3 right? I know they learned how to fake 5 and more eventually by interweaving them and stuff but on osilascopes it still shows just 3 voices doesnt it?
elevown from what I know, it was a glitch lol. ask people to explain it
@@elevown Glitch in one of the variants of the sid chip which gave it a pseudo "fourth" voice
@@elevown There are multiple implementations of this, but in this particular case, fast manipulation of the volume control register on the C64 created "pops" - that when played fast enough, allowed for PCM (sample) playback, which could be used in conjunction with the 3 actual analogue channels. Taken to it's most extreme, it's incredible - search for "LMAN hifi sky"
What a powerful IC the SID Chip was, the YM3812 might have more voices, but only the SID can transmit such feelings
Bro the SID manages to have better drums than FM does
@@ssg-eggunner The SID have way better flexibility, I think that's what makes it so good for pretty much anything... but I've seen (rather listen) impressive drums from the YMF262 or the YM2612 (even tho it cheats cause it has an ADC).... but you can "hack" the SID to get PCM so... I think it is fair (?
@@rhodexa oh yeah Tim Follin made some Nice drums for Time Trax
Long life to the PC Buzzer!
Brilliant work by mr. Bebeb. He may not be as active as the 2-3-4 SID/MOD legends, but definitely fantastic work (not just for Tetris).
If I drink enough wine, this becomes like one of those magic eye things
My fav game track ever. Thank you for this - looks amazing.
Wow! Are you sure this is Tetris we're talking about here. From the sound of this music i'd think I was embarking on an epic quest. I had no idea that the C64 had this kind of sound.
Of all the 'consoles' from that era, the c64's sid chip as by far the best- the c64 had many utterly amazing peices of music.
@@elevown Incredibly ahead of its time... too ahead of its time. Commodore seemed to have a problem with that back then LOL
I can vouch that yes this is from a simple Tetris game. Played it all the time as a kid.
C64 SID is literally a MiniMoog
You've never heard Tim Follin's work I assume
OMFG I NEVER THOUGHT I'D HEAR THIS AGAIN.
Also, OMFG, this is Sovietwave, from the actual Sovietwave era.
I loved play this game when I was a kid. I didn't understand code but I learned to load Tetris in the Commodore of my dad. This melody haunted my dreams...
Holy crap I never realized this had samples in it. I feel a bit daft now lol
@surfitlive that was both painful to read but also awesome at the same time. Daft Punk is one of my favourite bands
Samples?
This doesn't use samples lol
It's the Resonance filter
@@ssg-eggunner Yes it does. The "fourth channel" is made by manipulating the master volume (16 levels) to create crude digital audio via pre-recorded samples. The SID chip had a somewhat unstable DC offset in the output. Increasing the master volume increased the offset, decreasing the volume decreased the offset. If swiftly manipulated you get 4-bit digital audio.
@@Roflcopter4b 🤯
Wally Beben made the most haunting C64 SID tunes. Seriously. :O Such epic and haunting scores…
Parallax C64 music is equally as haunting for sure in my opinion.
Absolutely outstanding!
Музыка убаюкивает и поднимает настроение. Спасибо.
I played Tetris just for this song.
@@LarsTragel-zh7ei wish they could include this in the new tetris effect game :)
Same reason why I played Driller to be honest. Because let's face it, the Freescape games on the C64 played slower than cold molasses
What a timeless MASTERPIECE... ❤❤❤
my guy absolutely did not have to go this hard for *tettris* of all things
This is so beautiful
imagine if this replaced the interstellar soundtrack
This was the first SID tune I ever heard.
This is bloody fantastic. Well done.
I’ve never played this version of Tetris and I don’t really have any plans on doing so. I just heard this coming from the CFG USB Loader for Wii as the background music and really enjoyed it. Great stuff
If you got a Wii, an SD card, an external hard drive (or USB), and some Wii games on it including CFG (Configurable USB Loader) and hear this you know you're about to have fun.
I like how it makes a city
This is #2 of my top three favorite C64 music soundtracks, along with Commando (#1) and Zig-Zag (#3).
masterpiece
Oh boy, how I loved it when the game loaded and the sound started.
Wow, this is epic, never knew it was this long...and 4 channels, nice hack! :)
Hats off... between three and a half minutes and six and a half minutes we have near musical perfection. I love the single notes melody, which returns after nineteen and three quarter minutes. It's not all great, but I keep returning to listen to it nevertheless. A 25 minute epic is way too much for a simple game like Tetris. But I'm glad we have it.
Downright inspiring.
Priceless
I'm coming here from a wii homebrew app dayum, didn't expect c64 in my homebrew app.
The Tetris game itself is very simple, with very little in terms of mechanics: No alternative gamemodes, only single-player, no extra features like a hold slot, or even a 'next piece' indicator. It's the most fundamental version of Tetris you could possibly imagine, just a score and number of lines cleared measure.
All of those missing things are made up for the fact that you have this masterpiece to listen to the whole time.
How does a Tetris port game have such a amazing song?!
It was probably a solo music project and the distributor bought it for the game.
@@attilathepapp Actually, no, it was music specifically written for the game port on the C64. Took me just over a week, using an amazing player mostly (re)written by a very very good friend of mine. I knew it had to be 'different' - I'd seen Steve's (SIT) graphics for it (what an amazing inspiration!)! :D

New account, new sub, new like. This is golden!
Think about Wally that took all the time programming this note by note. This was clearly not done in a single day, given the fact it had samples and looped for 21 of the 26 minutes. Kudos to this talent from the era!
It probably took him about a week. Composing is actually pretty fast.
@@DerpDerp3001 confirmed, he said so himself in another comment
Cool. The c64 song was one oft my alltime classic Soundtrack! The Amiga & Gameboy Song so ... Boeing!!
This is one of the reasons, why I find the C64 way more interesting than something like the NES....
Me too - I love 8 bit computers more than 8 bit consoles
carruthers100 This game features riffs only because there is nothing else in the game. What do you have? A bunch of blocks, the colors of which can be altered, maximum size in the crg rom would be around around 64 kb, while most nes games like mega man and Castlevania featured way too many sprites, moves, backgrounds, and enemies all of which used up space. And cone one, you contradict yourself. You claimed that Tim showed Nintendo how to use their hardware, except the same is true for the c64. Jeroen Tel, Tim and a few others were the only ones who made good use of the hardware. And about the nes sounding weak, have you every listened to the Kirby ost, Super C ost, Mega man 6 ost, Journey to Silius or any other such gems?
carruthers100 Besides, the traingle itself can be used as a lead instrument, while the same isn't true for sawtooth. The ability to add more chips made fm synthesis possible on the nes( Lagrange point), and 10 channel sound with the help of the vrc6, evident in Akumajou Densetsu ( Castlevania 3 in Japan). Note that the above only work in the Famicom. Ninja Gaiden and tmnt 2 sound super gritty too
carruthers100 Also about the looping. There were multiple songs for most of the nes games, while tetris only had 2 songs in a whole. Of course it would be long
carruthers100 Talk to me about the nes sounding weak after you've listened tmnt 2 music
Still Awesome
This has to be playing at my cremation.
Not my style of music but it felt so satisfying to watch
Love this music. Very JMJ/Vangelis-like
Wow, this is about to hit 100K views!
The 4th channel is a sample channel.
thanks I was wondering
Same here, SID chip only had 3 voices.
You can also multiplex channels on the SID chip to get the illusion of a 4th or 5th voice. Rob Hubbard had that down to an art form
forceinfinity by quickly going back and forth between different modes?
Yes. Having said that, Peachtotheinfinity was probably referring to a volume hack that some people figured out with the SID chip. I remember this having fussed with the SID chip myself. But basically when you flip the volume address (54296...why I remember this, I don't know) from its max value (15) to zero, or vice versa, you create a click. Do those clicks fast enough, you can get a 4 bit sample sound
thank you, CFG USB loader

Hi! This video?
Beben doesn't get the credit he deserves for the music he did on the commie. Not only did he do this awesome track, he also did the awesome music for Dark Side (which was the sequel to Driller), as well as the music for Total Eclipse amongst others.
Matt Gray's theme for Driller is also an absolute banger
Can you explain the 4th track 4-bit sample playback? I always thought the 4th “voice” on the SID was the audio input line (which can have filters applied to it), or the interference generated by modulating the volume control (if I’m remembering how that works right).
If I recall correctly every time the master volume register is changed the chip makes a tiny popping sound
And someone realized you can change the master volume fast enough to make samples
Currently listening while hacking my 3DS.
Yo this song was also for the Configurable USB Loader’s Hub Menu on the Wii. I highly recommend if you’re tired playing hacked DS Games!
-after all I was a year late-
Mr. Tel and Mr. Hubbard may have perfected the SID chip's capability of making great music, and get praised about it a lot.
What about Wally? His work is great, if not, equal to both Tel and Hubbard's work.
the intro gives me some ecco the dolphin vibes
