    I received a copy of this and its probably the best produced collection of chipmusic live tracks you’ll ever want to own. The quality of music, sounds, and packaging makes it well worth the $15, so grab it today!

    You can preview this on Bandcamp and purchase it digitally with four free tracks. If you want a phsyical cd, you can hit it up via 8bitpeoples

    Official Blip Festival 2008 live performance double-CD compilation. Produced by 2 Player Productions, and featuring one track from each of the festival’s 32 musical performers. Professionally recorded, mixed, and mastered; the phenomenon of live chipmusic has never before been so pristinely captured.

  • RUBBER PLEASURES – yerzmyey

    AY_interfaceWhile not actually a release per se, I was hurting for some ay goodnes.

    This song is actually on the edge of Spectrum’s possibilities, I presume, however I again wanted AY to sound more interesting than normally.I added some bubbling filter-like sounds on the beginning, some other noises on 1:37, extremly hard-to-do playing with two sounds on one oscillator in 2:15 and later pretty funny synthetic sound came out by the way, AY still has its secrets, it seems plus some other various basses and synthetic fluctuating brasses.The most difficult is the ‘2 sounds on one oscillator’ trick. I must DEsynchronize sound to achieve 2 instruments playing in one channel. To tune the melody is kinda torture as only one sound is a real instrument. Another one is only distortion of the original sound but I can make it to play a song, hehe. : However AY has been never designed for that so the tuning is drudgery.

  • Arad Senki anime’s 8-bit ending w/ YMCK

    The show is based on a Korean MMORPG from Nexon, known in the States as Dungeon Fighter Online. Apparently, it looks, plays, and sounds nothing like this 8-bit homage, which makes me very unhappy. This video has more charm than 90 percent* of the Japanese RPGs released this handheld console generation.
