    beek — 7bit date: robot love

     

    7bit date: robot love is a collection of chips I began tracking in 2008, with one song reaching as far back as 1998. In 2008, having recently graduated from university, I reexamined my chiptune past and decided to get back in the game. Life carried on, and years later, I remembered my original goal of a new chipdisk release.. Here we are today, 2012!

    For 7bit date, I didn’t limit myself to traditional chip sounds. I make use of Amiga ST-XX samples in a few tracks — a process which rekindled some of my imagination, as I remembered this or that MOD from back in the day with each Amiga sample I came across. Another characteristic of my chips is to use no external/post-processing effects, just some occasional Schism filters, so the original .IT files will reproduce pretty close to the MP3.

    All in all, folks can look forward to a varied collection of chippy goodness: funky, poppy, videogamey, with a splash of reggae and hiphop in a couple tracks”

    Headphones On Your Heart EP | Leeni

    It’s been 6 years since Leeni first donned her Gameboy to write her debut album, 8-Bit Heart, and 5 years since her popular track “Headphones On Your Heart” was first composed and released.

    Since that time, Leeni has been receiving emails from fans all over the world, telling her a similar story: that the song was the reason they decided not to kill themselves, that it gave them hope…and that it was ‘the only reason’ they are alive.

    These messages have touched Leeni so much over the years that she wants to do more to give back to people who may be running low on hope.

    And this “Headphones On Your Heart” EP is her answer. 100% of the proceeds of all of the sales will go to support the Jed Foundation to support its “Love is Louder” movement as well as other programs.
