At the "Copenhagen Retro Concert" on November 5th 2005
PRESS PLAY ON TAPE performed the title tune for the game
Cannon Fodder using game controllers to trigger the samples
from the Amiga MOD version of this tune.
To pull this off we used PlayStation/GameCube/Xbox USB
adapters enabling us to connect these to a PC on which we
ran a Java program we had written to convert button
presses into MIDI. This setup was then connected to a
sampler with the original samples from the tune, except
for drum, bass, and chords which we re-recorded because
they were made as one sample mixed together originally.
Special guest star(s)
We were so lucky to have Mr. Jon Hare who originally
wrote the music (with Richard Joseph) with us on stage to
perform this! This was a really fun experience and we
hope you enjoy watching this geeky performance as much as
we did performing it! Also notice the guest appearance by
C64 legend Jeroen Tel (the guy from the audience in the
black t-shirt trying out the XBox controller :)
