    Dances is a difficult release to describe in promo sheet form. It would be all too easy to get swept up in it’s immaculate programming, delicate melodies and genuinely moving harmonies and end up sounding biased – so here are the facts. Programmed and composed by peeR, a.k.a. Pierre Slinckx between December 2008 and April 2009, Dances consists of six pieces covering everything from modal Renaissance music to breakcore via French disco and classic pop, created on two Game Boys running simultaneously (and with a touch of post production for good measure). The end result is a lovingly crafted mini-symphony; then again, what do you expect from a classically trained musical genius who counts Nullsleep and Goto80 as fans?

    On top of that, the CD benefits from Alessandra Ghinghirelli’s impossibly pretty artwork.

    Listen to/download mp3s.

    Buy 3” CD-R from Retinascan.

  • Proswell’s ‘Konami’ Masterpiece from Merck Records Remastered and Reissued!

    4105175905-1

    In a bit of ‘holy shit’ news, Eerik Inpuj Sound Mainman and hunk Joe Misra aka Proswell (or towel from the olden days) has re-released, remastered, and basically just re-opened up a whole can of worms here with a different look on 2002’s ‘Konami’ album.

    This album is considered by me a seminal chiptune album and one for the records, this album is guaranteed to bring you down from any bad drugs no matter what or your mind back. You can check this out for free, or for donation, your choice, at.  Special thanks to Merck for allowing this remaster. Quote the boss hoss:

    “Konami is the first physical album by Joseph Misra, originally released in 2002 on Miami’s now-defunct Merck Records (CAT MERCK010). This humble (and admittedly immature) album has continued to charm new listeners nearly 8 years – as of this writing – after its debut and remains a favorite among fans of Proswell, despite its flaws. For this reason, the album was remastered to fit within a more modern context. Care was taken to maintain the tone and feel of the original album. The final product of this update is the album that Proswell thought he was producing through his boombox (with bass and treble knobs turned all the way up). The sub-par mastering was not discovered until proper monitoring equipment was acquired. By that time, listeners had already grown to love the unique character flaws of the album.” Rebirth of Inpuj? New Remasters from the Boss? Whats next, Ilkae is actually a hologram shot out of Iqtu’s heltbuckle?

  • Gameboy Humming Appeared

    smile

    Game Boy can play in the sense of soft humming, published one year after development.

    Seems like a Muddygb type clone.. but who can unlock its mysteries?
