A celebration of Commodore's tracker-toting machine

If you wanted to sequence external gear from a computer, the Atari ST's built-in MIDI ports made it the mid-to-late '80s computer to own, but many of those who were making music at the time - particularly tracker fans - still worship Commodore's Amiga.

Viva Amiga is a new film that celebrates this iconic machine, documenting both its origins and subsequent success. Check out the trailer above, and find out how you can watch the full thing on the Viva Amiga website.

I’m the Deputy Editor of MusicRadar, having worked on the site since its launch in 2007. I previously spent eight years working on our sister magazine, Computer Music. I’ve been playing the piano, gigging in bands and failing to finish tracks at home for more than 30 years, 24 of which I’ve also spent writing about music and the ever-changing technology used to make it.
