  • CHIPFLIP Interviews SounDemon

    CHIPFLIP > Tell us a bit about your different projects. How did you come up with ‘the new waveform’ in Pico? How did you do it and what does it actually do? Will there be new experiments with the waveform editor?

    SOUNDEMON > As with Perkele, we needed a very small tune for Pico which is also a 4kb demo. I decided to include some metallic drum sounds by using the “testbit trick”. While trying different parameters for the sounds I got some weird pitched sounds. Only after releasing the demo I spent some time analyzing the behaviour of the SID chip to find out how and why the trick works.

  • Something Different Comp Out

    sdfrontThe fine Lads over at the collective have comp, with the audacious conceit of being unique and diverse. The copy?

    This compilation was made to show people how diverse chiptune really is. It’s not all about kids jumping around with Gameboys in their hands. There are different consoles, computers, and styles out there. I hope this compilation opens up minds to what’s really out there.

    The release does have some great artists on it, so go grab it over at  8bc.org.

  • New Downloads from Kittenrock: Jellica and Cerebral Scars

    kr023The EwwKay didn’t slack this weekend like the US did, and Kittenrock has two new releases from Jellica and Cerebral Scars:

    Jellica Writes:

    It pains me slightly to think that there aren’t too many people that have heard some of these tracks that I spent a great deal of time on.

    So to celebrate me finishing my new EP (which probabaly wont be out for months yet!) I have decided to release a free lo-bit rate mono version of my last CDr release for you loverly 8bc fuckers.

    Download Free Lo-bit Mono version

    Its a most loveable piece of very english electro weirdness (according to Retinascan!) and entiely made with the Nintendo Game Boy DMG-01 and LSDJ

    Please purchase an original copy with sexy packaging at Retinascan

    And for those who already own this cd, there is an all new treat from Cerebral Scars. Jellica writes:

    For his debut EP Cerebral Scars takes us on a trip through the deep dark minimal techno caves of his brain.
