  • TCTD 2008 Awards

    As 2008 draws to a close, TCTD stops and considers what we feel are the notable and exceptional releases, tools, and artists of the year. The process is based on user nominations, first hand experience and internal biases and were often very difficult to come to a decision over. Those not nominated should not be disheartened and those nominated but do not win should feel pride in knowing that they struck a chord within our editorial staff.

    We will listing the nominations over the next few days, and then finally the winners. Have fun, and thank you for your support.

  • Nuff of the Hate howz bout da luv

    CREATE DIGITAL MUSIC  ARTICLE

    I have no doubt that we could have more screaming crowds of people in laptop music, for instance, and that even the world’s hot spots (hello, London, New York, Berlin, Melbourne, and company) would like their scenes to improve. Obviously, the 8-bit scene benefits from timing and their unique field. But that doesn’t mean you can’t learn from them and fight for your own Indietronica Augmented Microtonal Banjo movement.

  • Final Day to nominate!
