Chipflip on: Ready > Run Exhibition
Chipflip has a very thoughtful writeup of the recent Ready > Run exhibition in Philadelphia that discusses on what makes things chip art, and discusses how chip art can coexist with other methods and mediums in order to be better integrated with the artists vision.
These works go beyond the limitations of systems in several ways. There are physical interfaces that are not inherent to the systems. There are no NES-printers and therefore printed NES-graphics can only exist outside the system. There are unfortunately no lazer interfaces to the NES either, and it is possible that the hardware modifications by noteNdo produces effects and artifacts that are out-of-system-experiences; things that software and emulators can only (try to) dream of. The ideal glitches; those that cannot be reproduced or explained.

Note Duration in Chipmusic Software
Chipflip has an interesting essay on note duration, a potentially dry subject that is well worth the read if you are concerned about how casually you throw terms around.
Due to a comment by Viznut, I’ve had quick look into music made with the PDP-1 (circa 1960). This was a popular machine in the early hacker culture that grew out of universities such as MIT. A few of the audio hacks are documented in MIT’s HAKMEM (1972). Writing this post, it gradually turned into a form of platforms studies or media-specific analysis, describing note duration on different trackers/hardware, and considering the compositional consequences of it. The scope of platforms here is limited, and comments about alternatives are appreciated.
