Videos
Ben Daglish video material is sparser than that of contemporaries such as Rob Hubbard or Martin Galway. There are no studio recordings and very few live appearances on camera. What survives is valuable: a handful of SID80s performances, oscilloscope visualisations created by the SID music community, game longplays, and the Back in Time Live 2001 interview. This page collects the best of what is available.
Interviews & Performances
Back in Time Live 2001
On-stage interview and performance. One of very few surviving video documents of Daglish discussing his career in person.
SID80s - Live Performance
Ben Daglish and Mark Knight performing C64 classics live. SID80s brought 8-bit music to pub venues and retro gaming events.
Oscilloscope SID Showcases
Oscilloscope visualisations show each of the SID's three voices as waveforms, making the structure of the music visible. Created by the SID music community.
Gauntlet - Oscilloscope
All five Gauntlet subtunes visualised. The dungeon themes' bass-line construction is particularly clear in oscilloscope form.
The Last Ninja - Wastelands Oscilloscope
Daglish's Wastelands and Wilderness themes. The three-voice counterpoint is visible in the waveform separation.
Krakout - Oscilloscope
Krakout title, in-game and high-score themes. The walking bass and eighth-note melody are clearly visible.
Game Longplays
Gauntlet - C64 Longplay
US Gold's C64 port of the Atari arcade. Daglish's dungeon music plays throughout.
The Last Ninja - C64 Longplay
All seven levels with Daglish (Wastelands, Wilderness) and Lees (levels 3–7) music.
Krakout - C64 Longplay
Gremlin's Breakout variant. One of the most-played SID loading themes of the era.
Deflektor - C64 Longplay
Gremlin's laser-puzzle game. Daglish's measured, electronic score matches the game's pace.
