RGBva released (multicolor backlight)

the kitsch-bent DMG backlight kit is finally wrapped up and available for pre-order. they ship next week when the last part arrives.

you can see the product page here

this backlight uses red, green, and blue LEDs so that the user can set their backlight to any color made up of these three colors (meaning, theoretically infinite colors). this is the beta release of this backlight, and your suggestions and comments are more than welcome! and, if you make a really great suggestion or compelling argument for a change, we will certainly implement it in the design… in short, the backlight is finally finished, and you can set it to whatever color you desire made up of red, blue, and/or green.

the kit comes with: the RGB backlight, custom PCB for color control, hookup wire, hardware for installation, polarization film (LCD quality), and a custom diffusion film (contains a one-way reflective material so with the backlight turned off, you can still use the LCD screen fine with an external light source (like normal)).

Chipmusic • Interviews

Interview with Jellica on CCS

I did an interview with Jellica as part of this roll-call on 8bc

µB: Now that it has matured a bit, how would you describe the scope or agenda of Kittenrock?

Jellica: As somewhere to release chipmusic with a modern edge that moves away from the 80s and 90s demoscene and VGM styles. Obviously there are exceptions, and I love a lot of the music from that era, but I also enjoy a lot of modern electronic music. So it’s a way to combine the two. There are plenty of chipmusic netlabels that release a lot of pop, progrock and VGM oriented styles, but nothing much that really supported the more, I guess, Warp Records/Rephlex, Techno, Electro side of chipmusic.
