Interview with Jellica on CCS

I did an interview with Jellica as part of this roll-call on 8bc

µB: Now that it has matured a bit, how would you describe the scope or agenda of Kittenrock?

Jellica: As somewhere to release chipmusic with a modern edge that moves away from the 80s and 90s demoscene and VGM styles.
