TRUE CHIP TILL DEATH • Mr. Spastic

Lucid – Mr. Spastic

By Peter Swimm, on August 9th, 2011

The third release at 8bitpeoples from Mr. Spastic named Lucid represents an album of works meant to express conscious and unconscious dreams. It is a departure from earlier works in style with the addition of vocal compositions. Rhythmically more downtempo, the release aims to appeal to the pensive dreamer. Sleep well.

By Peter Swimm, on March 14th, 2011

Tracklist:
01. trash80 – Haunted Candies
02. Mike Bleeds – Serotonin Assault
03. The Silph Scope – Cobra Command
04. EvilWezil – Dynamo
05. virt – Lorem Chipsum
06. Wizwars – Thrash City

13. WMX – Keep It Dark
14. jiffypop23 – Import Antigravity
15. Wet Mango – The Tide Is High (Blondie Cover)
16. Droidsong – Drone Resolved (Nocturne)

I had the idea to put this compilation together showcasing all of the talent located in Los Angeles, the Inland Empire, San Diego and all the surrounding areas of Southern California that make up the slowly growing SoCal Chip Scene. Some are well known heavy hitters who have played Blip Fest and various international chip shows, and some have never officially released tracks outside of this compilation. We try to put together as many shows as possible and as regularly as possible to showcase this talent, but this compilation is the best way to show outsiders that WE ARE HERE. 2011 is the year of Southern California Chipmusic.

The Nobuooo Kickstarter Project.

By lazerbeat, on December 14th, 2010

Friend of TCTD, chip and game music documentarian and news blogger extraordinaire Jeriaska is running a Kickstarter. He has a vast amount of footage reading like a who’s who of game music composers, a similar trove of footage covering indie game luminaries and most interesting for the chip community a slew of videos from Nullsleep’s Collapsed Desires Tour and he plans to hone it all down to 3 DVDs. You can check out a trailer for the Videogame Music in Context in Japan DVD or the Independent Videogame Music in Context DVD but click on this little video and watch a few worlds get destroyed.

Some words on the tour DVD from Jeriaska

Nullsleep Collapsed Desires Tour DVD: live performances (not interviews) from the 2010 Collapsed Desires Tour, featuring chip music artists Nullsleep, Trash80, Starpause, Crashfaster, Mr. Spastic, and omake bonus material from the 2010 Tokyo Blip Festival. This one contains some swear words, so be prepared for it.

The Kickstarter is mere inches away from its goal, feel free to help out.

I hear rumors there are more great things to come….
