  • Exotica update!

    logo

    My favourite and one of the most complete archives of Amiga music, Exotica, has had a pretty significant update. According to my old friend BuZz:

     

    There have been major changes to the various music collection interfaces. The biggest feature addition is that for most of the tunes you can now Ogg Vorbis encoded audio recordings directly from the search interface.

    These are created on the fly in real-time, and as such are provided for convenience rather than accuracy, however you may well be surprised at how good they sound. To access the Ogg downloads browse or search for a tune, and a button will be displayed above the results that allows you to show the Ogg download links.

    Read more about the new Ogg download feature.

    Exotica is not just a file repository, most every file is coupled with a load of other data and also mirrors many collections of other platforms like the HVSC, converting it into an ambitioous database of old computer music.

    You can access the different sections of this huge collection clicking here.

  • GetLoFi – Gameboy DMG-01 Pitch Modification

    gameboy_dmg_pitch_modVery well documented DMG pitch mod, that I hope will inspire more doomchip. DO IT!

    As promised, here is a GetLoFi take on modifying GameBoy DMG-01 with pitch control via the LTC1799 Precision Module from the GetLoFi Shop. The process to replace a fixed 4.19 MHz crystal with a variable digital clock is pretty strait forward, however we will not be responsible for any damage to your hardware, so please do this at your own risk!

  • Run!

    folderlittle-scale writes:

    Run – Music for the Long Distance Jogger is a compilation of 12 tracks by 12 artists at a speed of 145 BPM. The thing I love about this comp is that each track blends and is mixed well into the next track – cheers to nonfinite for making this flow so well, for organising the comp and for hosting the comp for now. My track on here is ‘The Merchant’, but the mix is slightly different than the one found on my release ‘Error Repeat‘.

    A great idea (I was thinking of a aerobics comp myself back in the netlabel days..), with tracks by little-scale, tristendo, ZZZV and more… good stuff!

  • Kind of Bloop: An 8-Bit Tribute to Miles Davis

    kindofbloop[Editors Note: Seems like they have already reached their goal, but have said else where that anyone donating will get a copy of the cd.. so consider this a preorder?]

    Excerpt from the man behind the project, Andy Baio: “What would the pioneers of jazz sound like on a Nintendo Entertainment System? Coltrane on a C-64? Mingus on Amiga? For years, I’ve wondered what “chiptune jazz” would sound like, but there are only a tiny handful of jazz covers ever made.

    To satisfy my curiosity – and commemorate the 50th anniversary of Miles Davis’s “Kind of Blue” – I’ve asked five brilliant chiptune musicians to collaborate and reinvent
    the entire album in the 8-bit sound.
