I had to give it a try.

Claude, the ole cheater, recognized what the file was, downloaded the psid from the web, found a wasm sid player and built a website around it:

This is a translation of the music into javascript based on the assembler source.

Really impressive on both accounts. Some iterations were requied for both.
