First video; as shown at EVOKE 2019. Second video; recorded from 4x2 real 8580 SID chips on a C64 by Christian "SID Spieler" Thamerus with some insights from the composer Markus "LMan" Klein.
The graphics consists of 3 sprite logos; 8 sprites per logo.
The charset with the font, symbols and banners uses 3584 bytes of memory.
The animation of the dancing woman is 1 sprite in size (24x21 pixels) and holds 300 frames,
converted from a full resolution video down to the size and 2 colors.
The multicolored bitmap is in full size (160x200 pixels, black background color) and uses photographic references for the hands and synthesizer.
