    Glomag has covered the title track of a new New Order Tribute Comp “Ceremony”. Stream it on Myspage.org.

    Stevens has a new Podcast on Tiga’s label.

    Ahead of my release for Tiga’s label Turbo Recordings
    and also that of my remix for him, I was asked to do a podcast
    selecting some of my own tracks. I’m not just posting this here in the
    slight possibility people are interested – I also play two of my
    favourite pieces of video game music, namely ‘Hydrocity Zone 2’ from
    Sonic 2 and ‘Inside the Deku Tree’ from Zelda OoT.

  • Chipflip on Other uses of Computer Hardware

    Not being a huge Queen fan, i’ve avoided posting this:

    But leave it to goto80 to make the subject fresh with this excellent post on chipflip.

    An excerpt:

    I just found a version of Bohemian Rhapsody performed by an Atari800XL, 8? floppy drive, TI 99/4a, 3.5? floppy drive and four HP ScanJets. It’s apparently the hottest youtube-clip in Canada right now, yip yip! The same author also has Funkytown performed by C64/modem/printer and TI99/4a. Mentioned as his inspiration is James Houston’s Big Ideas (Don’t Get Any) which had a slow start of its Internet career, but has received lots of internet attention by now. It’s James’ final project for design school, so the visual aspect is also well worked through. A very special clip. It’s a ZX Spectrum with scanners, harddrives, and printers that performs a Radiohead-cover. James “placed them in a situation where they’re trying their best to do something that they’re not exactly designed to do, and not quite getting there”.

    Fun reading! Rock the Matrix!

  • Duty Cycle Generator Creates a new NES sound Driver?

    Via an update on the essential Duty Cycle Generator blog, Neil Baldwin writes about news of his new NES sound driver. Sounds Drool!

    I figured I could take the best bits of my old sound driver, improve the stuff that didn’t work properly, throw in some of the flexibility from MML/PPMCK and make my ultimate NES audio driver. So over the last few weeks I’ve actually written a brand new NES driver, from scratch, which I’ve nicknamed ‘Nijuu’

    Gory tech details at his blog. Sounds great!
