Tree Wave Releases Atari 2600 & C64 Music CD

Posted by CowboyNeal on from the beeps-and-blips dept.

TheAlchemist writes "Tree Wave, a two piece band from Texas that makes pop songs using obsolete computer and video game equipment as instruments, has released their first music CD, Cabana EP+. Paul Slocum, creator of the Atari 2600 Synthcart, Testcart, and upcoming Homestar Runner RPG, codes the music primarily on an Atari 2600, Commodore 64, Compaq 286, and Epson dot matrix printer, and Lauren Gray adds lush vocals. You can listen to two of the Cabana EP+ tracks, and visit the Tree Wave web site to learn more about the band."

    I hear you. If they wanted to do it right, they should have had the singing done by the synthesized Mac voices, or that Dr. Zbatso or however you spell it!
