DO IT!

I ask you, is anyone else in the chiptune scene playing the violin along with his music?

I was actually thinking about picking the violin back up for exactly this purpose.

Anyway, I think this album will be called Arquebus and the plan is to have a limited-run physical release, a cheap or donationware digital release and an accompanying module-format musicdisk release. The musicdisk won't feature all the tunes and will be EP-sized...but people will be able to run it in the browser and enjoy all its visuals and easter eggs. Just as soon as I've coded some visuals and easter eggs...

Anyway, enough blab; it ain't real until it's released, so there's no point in musing on about it. I'll put out a few preview tracks when I get around to it (and when I have something good enough to distribute) and make the obligatory song and dance on twitter, Bitfellas, TCTD, pouet, etc.

They're not locked in; he's locked out.

dude you need to stop calling that school girl you keep locked in the basement syphus.  its confusing her even more than being locked in a basement by a weird english guy.  she has no idea what a tracker is or what you expect her to do with all those old computers you keep putting in front of her.

Thank you! Very early start this morning and this made me laugh so hard my co-workers gave me "looks"

In psychology, Syphus syndrome is a term used to describe a paradoxical psychological phenomenon wherein hostages express adulation and have positive feelings towards their captors, believing themselves to be Newcastle-based musician, Syphus, mistaking a lack of abuse from their captors as an act of acceptance into the chip music scene.

"Weird" is a bit extreme, don't you think? Words hurt, man

28 days ago, he told me he's got about 60% done and should finish the rest before the year is out. So how much do you think he's gotten done now?

Hooray!

you may be completely fucking insane, for reference
