Amiga 40th
Jul 19, 2025

In July the Centre for Computing History (CCH) devoted an entire weekend to celebrating the 40th birthday of the Commodore Amiga. This wonderful home computer not only launched my musical career, it also introduced me to friends in the UK and throughout Europe. It's safe to say I have somewhat of a soft spot.

Saturday was a busy day. I first sat on a panel with a ton of Amiga legends, I then gave a talk about writing music for the demo scene and in the evening Jon Hare and I performed a set from games and his upcoming album.
The CCH edited my talk into a presentation.
Here's a 1 minute YouTube short on the Origin of the Demo Scene
And here's the full talk
