Jeroen Tel Live @ Assembly 2012 HD

[@JeroenTel]

It's so hard to make a nerd crowd moving, but at least I did so with the Robocop III tune! :-D

[@MarkkuLempinen]

I'd say that we Finnish nerds are even more "challenging" to activate than any other weird target audience D

[@DavidWest2]

Jeroen Tel, you were a musical idol of mine growing up! So happy to have found this. Tough crowd, this music is amazing.

[@JeroenTel]

Thank you, David! The crowd didn't move much, but wasn't that tough... they loved it! :-) Geek concerts are generally not crowd-movers (I'm talking from quite some experience), but the crowd really appreciate the music and will tell you afterwards. That seems like mustard after the meal (Dutch expression) but when you know that is what's going to happen anyway it's a lot of fun to do! :-)

[@JeroenTel]

Its sometimes hard to keep "track" of everything, David. But... thank you so much for the kind words or appreciation. :-)

[@jarirepo1172]

@@JeroenTel Absolutely. I told this before already but I feel like writing it down again: I see only happy faces drown in the best trance music can produce, every single one of them is enjoying this immensely. Some seem even teary-eyed with their bliss, probably not even noticing it... I return to this video time and time again and wish I would have been there. I really thank you for bringing this much joy to people.

Hi mister Tel! Sign me up on list of your fans ;). It's so awesome to stumble on you in comments section of videos related to your music.

[@benjamind.halford3987]

Great that Jeroen and the other great game composers are being recognised for their wonderful efforts! I grew up with this music, but I know a fair few youngsters who absolutely love it too, and I'm starting to understand that it's not just nostalgia. The techniques for coaxing a wide thick sound from the SID and other chips has laid some important groundwork in all fields of music, I feel: limitation drives creativity and humans are at their best when bending things to do things they weren't supposed to do! A creative person sees this. Some of today's electronic composers should take note of what can be achieved with a minimal setup, a billion tracks of sound in Ableton seems to have flattened creativity somewhat I reckon!

[@benjamind.halford3987]

Fantastic set :)

[@JeroenTel]

These words mean a lot to me, Benjamin, Jean-Michelle Jarre said exactly the same thing! (limit your setup and learn from the limitations). I didn't even know before I started to live (yes live) with those limitations, but it's absolutely true... Limitation pushes creativity to a completely new level. Rob Hubbard said it right too (he's a friend a very very good composer) ... "trying to write music with boxing gloves on". ;-)

[@MsVecna]

Biggest problem is that they do not comprehend that it is GOD that is standing before you. Jesus fucking Jeroen Tel. *shakes head*

Hi Jeroen, What did you compose the other tunes in that didn't sound as SID-like? Was that in a tracker or Amiga etc?

[@richardlincoln886]

You've got to love the computing scene - the only 'disco' where its like that first disco at primary school and no one dances :) The real life social awkwardness and mixture of pleasure and pain in not being able to share it from Abigail's party. Not taking the mick - just observing - i.e. I'm right up there with loving this sound but not being able to dance.

[@JeroenTel]

They didn't move much (not a particularly moving crowd, doesn't happen much at computer events), but I can tell you that after the show many came to tell their appreciation for the music and show. :-)

[@JeroenTel]

It's very hard to give out a tracklist of the "unknown songs" because I never released them as individual tracks yet. Spudgun: Really awesome of you to mention that I always read and respond to comments on my uploaded music (I don't post these myself). I do that, but I'm also very slow because there are so damn many I hardly get to it. Anyway, I'll see if I can release a set in MP3 format or something soon.

If i could share my thought: Blow My Mind Cool! Hope Jeroen Tel had a good time. He looks much younger than i thought he would be! But if you would dare go only SID that would be SOO much better. Hardcore, to the bone. But it is much more important to have fun! Been a gamer since ´87 and it is SOO good to see Jeroen Tel perform!!! Thank you all at classic ASSEMBLY!!

[@JeroenTel]

The pleasure was all mine ! :-)

[@kixxalot]

I think it's not easy to add anything to existing classic SID tunes. More often than not I find tunes lose in power when they are "remixed". People demand more from a live performance than a playback of the exact same tunes they already know, so then I understand Jeroen does a bit of remixing. But to be honest in this performance I only really liked the Mega Apocalypse en Robocop tunes.
