he was quite big/known/popular "in life" too, like cobain/hendrix/nordboe - his fame is not totally posthumous

if he turned up on this site n posted his tunes no one would notice because the music side of this website is totally dead...

Who will fill this giant's shoes? Who among us is brave enough to pick up the torch and take it to the stage?

10/10 would reblog

I don't give the tiniest fuck that the kid is dead! I don't "care" about him, or anybody else whose music I listen to. The music is different, and recording and releasing it is both ballsy and sincere, and I "care" about that. Why should enjoying something be fueled by emotions toward the artist, and whether or not they are in a box?

edit: And if he showed up here I would encourage him to release more and to write his own music.

chiptunes, the guy just used midi files of iron maiden
sure they are funny but if the kid aint killed himself none of yall would have even cared bout him, n if he turned up on this site n posted his tunes yall would rip the shit out of him

bless his soul

I remember this, there are very few things on 8bc that people talk about that I can honestly say I remember. I'm not saying that failing her entire course was what she deserved, but she did steal someone else's music, and act as though she composed it. If you take a course about composing music, then it's really not fair of you to ride off of someone else's success

oh lord MONOTRONA rule, thanks herr prof

hopefully pitch fork brigade didnt lead directly to his suicide. still rememebr 8bc tryng to get that girl kicked out of university over a youtube video lol. that could have ruined someones life too. its not worth it for chiptunes...

cool article nitro2k01, chipflipman always knows his stuff

I wouldnt say he got me into chiptunes, but he definitely helped break down the mystique over the little mod files and the people who made them. He seemed a really sincere and honest performer, and his story is a bit sad to me, especially when I heard he was slightly cyber bullied by the early 2000s version of the chiptune pitchfork brigade.

by the way if you dig the whole chip as found folk resource thingy, check out monotrona:

thats really cool that anton got you into chiptunes

personlly i didnt really find him until after i got into chiptunes but i think his sincerity and individuality s a big influence to us all. not that i am great at sincerity... ho ho

& yea, RIP anton maiden. some people burn the candle at both ends i guess

He was a big influence on me, int he sense that he got me to take mods seriously in a way I didn't before his bout of internet fame.This was a bit of a gateway for me into getting into chiptune creation.

Its a shame how his life ended, hope he has some peace now.

I thought I'd stumbled onto encyclopedia dramatica for a second there. Despite the fact that I don't like it, it's all strangely catchy.

YW pal!!! I love anton maiden!

How the fuck had I never heard of this guy before? I Iron Maiden, I shitty singing, I midi/mod tunes! This is fantastic. His version of the TheTrooper is the bomb! Thanks for this sandneil.

That's Mine, B.T.W.
