Awesome, I knew there had to be a chip music thread somewhere! I have a lot of friends in this type of music, I'll post some of them for your listening pleasure. http://glenntai.bandcamp.com/ First album, not bad at all. I have been privy to some of the stuff coming up on his new release, and he has improved drastically. http://brightprimate.tk/ Chiptune mixed with vocals. These guys are the founders of Boston8Bit and sort of run the entire Boston Chip scene. http://listen.activeknowledgemusic.com/ http://dapantz.bandcamp.com http://cheesenbeer.com/dapantz http://rainbowdragoneyes.ragenotrave.com/ Gameboy Europop metal. Kinda. He's awesome. Any Boston-area chip fans? Love meeting new people.

Never thought I'd hear chiptune dubstep, but well, here's Cheapshot.

I keep forgetting to post in this thread because I only ever read NMD when I'm at work (and the firewall stops me from posting). So here's a bunch of stuff that rules and you should listen to it because it rules: He was mentioned before, but here's a link to Computer Savvy by The J. Arthur Keenes Band (free). One of the few times where I really dig the combination of chips and vocals. cTrix has what might be the best live recordings I've found. His set from RRR Radio in Melbourne is still one of my favourites (the interview ends and the music starts at about 7:30). It's a pain to find his stuff, as it's all scattered around the net in various places (and half of it is gone since 8-bit collective decided to die). Here's another cTrix performance, Blipfest 2011. The stuff he plays on the gAtari, in particular, really gets me going. Electric Children is pretty good, too. His new album just came out, and I haven't had a chance to listen to it yet, but his last one YOU ARE was a compilation of his singles, many of them tweaked a bit (not always for the better, imo). Highlights include the remix of IYAD's "When I Sleep, My Heart Speaks" and "Car-jack". Did I mention yet how loving amazing Smiletron is at making chiptunes? Because he's loving amazing at making chiptunes, and he likes to release all his stuff for free. "Delta", in particular, is a very chill EP/Album/Whatever that I like to listen to when I'm stuck in traffic. And to finish off, because I didn't see him mentioned at all and it's a loving crime: Henry Homesweet - Lo-Bit Bassment 1 Henry Homesweet - Lo-Bit Bassment 2 Henry Homesweet - Lo-Bit Bassment 3 Henry Homesweet - Lo-Bit Bassment 4 Henry Homesweet - Lo-Bit Bassment 5 (my favourite) Henry Homesweet - Lo-Bit Bassment 6 Henry Homesweet - Lo-Bit Bassment 7 Henry Homesweet - Lo-Bit Bassment 8 I'm also going to be a huge knob and point out that I "host" a lovely little chiptune power hour on Ghettoradio.us on Monday nights (9PM eastern). All I do is surf around and find EPs / Albums and play them, and occasionally dig into my archives when I'm in the mood. Nothing spectacular, but it gives me a good excuse to find new chiptunes on a weekly basis.

Net-label Ubiktune put together a bundle of seven chiptune-ish albums, and they're selling it for the princely sum of $1. You can grab it for the next couple of days here. Danimal Cannon and Shnabubula, mentioned earlier in this thread, both have albums in the bundle. For free stuff, I was recently reminded of some cool old compilations over at archive.org. Best of AHX and AHX To Excess both feature stuff based on/made with the Amiga's soundchip and lots of tracks by someone named Geir Tjelta.

I absolutely can't stop listening to this recent track from the game Super Hexagon, while technically it's game music it's actually from a chiptune artist called Chipzel, I think entirely made in lsdj (gameboy tracker): http://chipzelmusic.bandcamp.com/track/courtesy Be sure to check the rest of her work as well! I'll be sure to keep my eye on this thread as I've been dying for some good chiptunes lately.

Thornes posted:I like this album by Weird Bananas, maybe someone else will too! Half of it I could see being a Phoenix Wright soundtrack, I think I know why this is, but I'm not certain. Regardless, it's a good laid back set of bleep bloop songs, and I do like it.

So does anyone know what happened to 8BC? Will it ever come back?

It went down at the beginning of the year, and their twitter feed hasn't been updated since May. I'd love if it came back, but I'm not holding my breath. Between 8BC going away and Blipfest being cancelled after the Tokyo show, it's getting harder to find a central source for chiptunes.

I recently played the last Blipfest in Tokyo. Acutally, I was the "last" act in the 2nd day before the secret guest set with Hip Tanaka. Yeah, it's kinda sad to see it put into indefinite haitus (it's ironic that it ended in Tokyo too, since Blip originally was conceived due to a dozen Japanese chiptune performers wanting to do a US tour). Fortunately for Asia / Australia, Square Sounds Festival will be around as Blip's spiritual successor. It's still undetermined if it will ever come to US, but it at least has the recommendation and support from the Blip crew. Nana-C fucked around with this message at Nov 2, 2012 around 21:49 |

If this hasn't been linked already, CVGM is a pretty big catalogue of chip music, and streams constantly. Some of the stuff played is hit and miss for me, but it's helped me find more stuff by artists beyond what's shown in the Pause catalogue (which is also really good.)

Well for the US there's still Magfest coming up in January http://magfest.org/performers which has some chip/visualist people performing.

Inverse Phase is blowing up the Internet today with "Pretty Eight Machine." http://inversephase.bandcamp.com/al...y-eight-machine Is it a coincidence that this came out days after Trent Reznor said his first computer-based compositions were made with a c64? Mom always said "Head Like a Hole" got me rocking out in my car seat when it came on the radio. We saw NIN with A Perfect Circle as the opener in 2000.

Gotta check out jonwayne, his album Bowser is a reimagining, in a loose sense, of Super Mario 1 music. It's not entirely 8-bit but it has strong elements. Time Trials: http://youtu.be/96Qrr-pj74g Dreamland: http://youtu.be/Jb8gj-TH8G8

http://triceratopolis.com/ pop punk chiptune with vocals I'm getting into chiptune again, and I found this and love it. on a side note, is there a thread for modding old consoles for chiptune? I just found my old gameboy and ordered some stuff to make chiptune with it and wanted to see if this is the best place to post my attempt at putting it all together.

http://chipcon.org/schedule Smiletron just posted this link for some four day webcast of chipmusic starting next week, featuring a wide variety of producers. Whether this is like a live stream of performances or just streaming music I'm not sure, but it might be something to check out.

Ubiktune is my go-to place for chiptune. Instead of the pop, dancy type of music that's commonly associated with chiptunes, Ubiktune showcases progressive/jazz/fusion. Take a listen to coda's Tracer" album to see.

At least I know when they're coming now. Edit: Sweet, hey just msg'd me saying that it's ok. Now I'll get to see them play a normal set at Red 7 since last time it was just them DJing (which was really fun). duz fucked around with this message at May 4, 2013 around 00:44 |
