Announcing: PULSEWAVE///RIP

Credit: Emi Spicer

Announcing a new archive project at TCTD, PULSEWAVE///RIP. 15 years ago today, I started the first of many many monthly chiptune events in NYC, leading to things like The Blip Festival and many sister events in cities throughout the world. After such a long time, a lot of the content has fallen off the internet. This project seeks to be a place to recap past events, collect missing content, and provide a place for curators, artists, and fans to write and interrogate memories and feelings from this community. Have a story? Let us know!

We are kicking things off with the story of how Pulsewave started, and the entire first concert. These pages will be living documents, updated as new media comes to light. Enjoy the ride!

FX4 | Jake Kaufman aka Virt

<a href="http://virt.bandcamp.com/album/fx4">FX4 by Jake "virt" Kaufman</a>

X4 is a concept album set in the oceans and skies. Its story immediately precedes that of FX3.
The album is free, and I am not expecting or asking for payment, although I appreciate donations — the proceeds will go toward software I need for my one-man indie game project.
Unlike the previous albums, which were written as “soundalikes” using sampled chip sounds, FX4 consists of machine code that can run on a real NES system. It was written in Famitracker, available for free at famitracker.com.
The NSF format files are here: biglionmusic.com/v-fx4.zip
If you don’t have NES transfer hardware, the NSFs can be played using VirtuaNSF (virtuanes.s1.xrea.com/vnes_dl.php — scroll to the bottom), or dozens of other players for PC, OS X, iPhone, Android, etc.
