Il creatore sent us a link to some of his awesome console derived videos for his blippy electro pop. One Part Bruce Haack, ten parts crazy, the videos are a shitstorm of fun. Check them out here:

For the Week of 10/20-10/27 Lets try out a new feature picking five tracks that grabbed our attention over here at TCTD from the 8BITCollective. Here they are in no praticular order. “Space Race (adlib)” by oxygenstar Another great track from the recent spike in fm based tracks on the collective, the track is a mindblowing melange of sound design, driving rhythmic elements and great melodic elements. Cheers to the fm revival!. Bud takes a terrible 8BC trend, the posting of ill advised and poorly made “my first tracks” and knocks it out of the park here with his janky but pretty tune evoking a quiet day in a Lewis Carroll garden. “From the Ghetto with Love” by Crazy Q Another ringer, this old but new to 8BC track is classic Crazy Q. Fat bass lines, and dancing arps mangy stay firmly on the awesome side of the fruity euro chipstyle. “Lock” by Dise-a.g.m Dise-a.g.m. has been making songs I like for a while, so its good to seem him get props for this solid track. Stick around for the back half for an accomplished take on the endless chip solo style. “Ottomania” by Broomlinde Boomlinde brings this infectiously fun track with its gypsy tech beats and claps. Perhaps the biggest knock you can justify on 8bc is a lack of diversity so special note must be made of those who both create great tracks which are ass kicking AND unique sounding. So that was easy huh? With over 160 tracks release in a week it was pretty tough getting down to just five, so please post any ones I might’ve missed in the comments. See you next week!  The Victim On CSDb, sid musician Fanta has posted an mp3 of his 4 voice MOD track PLUS two voices of sid coming off a real c64. The track itself is relatively unspectacular, but the scene reaction is interesting ranging from grudging respect, to feedback on everything from the style, the results, and the point of doing such a thing. Listen to the track
Welcome me, Akira (a.k.a. 8GB) to True Chip ‘Till Death! I hope to bring you hot hot hot news, specially from my areas of oldschool expertise xD As my first post I present you with video recordings of all the chipmusic performances at the MAIN #3 Festival/demoparty. The link contains videos to all performances, and for Saturday, the video marked as 8GB actually contains many more performances in the end (no, I did not play 150 minutes :P) Find them here: The website is quite arse and you can’t download the videos, but it’s watchable. Enjoy!  To a certain segment of our readership, this counts as pronography. Welcome to your weekly little-scale update. My favorite 8-bit mad scientist is at it again with the rare hardware that adds functionality to a software application. He explains: Introduction • Two in the time of four (double speed) There are also controls for controlling the speed of sync (via a potentiometer; aka a “knob”) and interrupting / stopping the sync signals for either Game Boy, so that it stops. Of course I know that this would be easy to make in Arduino or Picaxe or using an Atmel or a PIC – but all of this would require the user to program a chip in some way. The nice thing is that this design only requires three logic chips (which I bought locally for around AU$2.50 in total), a capacitor, a resistor and a pot. No programming or “special parts” are required. A Game Boy link cable needs to be hacked up. Full instructions and info on this can be found here: |
