I just got an old Apple IIc and wanted to see what kind of music I could make with it. I'm using 8-bit Weapon's DMS (digital music synthesizer) for all of the sounds you see coming out of the IIc. I recorded this in a "video song" format—what you see is what you hear, all video captured during the creation of the song. :)"
