Iceland looks amazing to me. Another interesting country for holidays is Monte Negro...
Also small population as Iceland... They have also sea and small moutains...

BTW any plans for Iceland tour in future? Playing in pubs in biggest towns and villages? Anyone?

Hi

My name is Breki and I am a chiptune musician from Iceland. Whaaaaat! My project name is Laser Life and it's funny that this thread is posted on the 7 april because I released my debut album 'Polyhedron' on the 8th of april. You can stream the album on https://laserlife.bandcamp.com/

I know one other chiptune musician from Iceland. His project is called (cassette). Check him out over here: https://soundcloud.com/rni-geir-l-russon

Ah ha, awesome! I knew at least a few of you must exist!

and there are 299 using C64 (and probably the remaining 1 using Atari ST wink ). Anyway, even if there are 500, that would me it could be potentially 10-20 people making chiptune in Iceland, and there are probably less in reality. In France, which is 5-6 time the size of Sweden, on csdb there are only 14 people using C64 (probably more using ldsj on nintendo).
In my area, which is similar in population size, I know no one interested in chiptunes or making it...

As you said, it's different computer cultures...

Well, I'm not looking for hundreds. tongue

Sweden has ~30x the population of Iceland and has many, many chiptune artists so you'd expect 1/30 as many in Iceland but it seems there really aren't (m)any. It's probably because much of the computer culture of the 80s and 90s never made it over to Iceland. hmm

Other than that Iceland is pretty dead in terms of chiptune as far as I know.

The rest of the Nordic countries seem to be quite active but I don't know a lot about anything potentially happening in Iceland in the chip world.
