12insomnia! I miss this guy playing chiptunes again!
Met him few months ago in his office & it looks like he's into EDM rather than chipmusic now.
And he said one of the reason he's not making chipmusic again is because he losts his every LSDJ sav files too..

Nice thread! Btw, here's my personal favorite:
1. YMCK - Magical 8bit Tour
2. Disasterpeace - Death Satellite Evasion
3. Remedmatika - Roh Hutan
4. Shitbird - Moustache Ride
5. Zabutom - Leningrad Vodka Rush
6. Tempest - Acidjazzed Evening
7. Tonythai - Cough Syrup Overdosed
8. Virt - Singularity
9. Naruto - Artificial Intelligence Bomb
10. J. Arthur Keenes Band - Catfish Lagoon

I miss 8bc btw

I can't link them all, so I'll just link this playlist I made, instead. I hope this thread is still relevant.

Personally I recently discovered PeeR's six dances EP, and I have to say that it's damn gold in chiptune! His musical phrases are all skillfully constructed and each commands seems to be wisely explored. 2xlsdj can work great to make intense game boy chiptune. So impressed!

Hah! This prissy chip "musician" obviously needs to go back to note school. lol ...! Forty-seven. Thirty seven! I bet you get all sensitive about this (typical!) but I respect the tonic sub-dominant and maybe, if you knew what you were talking about...

you WOULD TOO

posted in wrong thread dammit

hello i don't belong here but i would like to say that this was a perfectly decent thread and suggest that anyone who would like to continue the music theory argument take it outside.

anyway my favorite chipmusic/module albums (screw individual tracks) would be:

zan-zan-zawa-veia - mokè mokè
ilkae - stained glass piñata+
aanaaanaaanaaana - pinecone crashmat

and some of this junk https://bandcamp.com/jangler
and some of this junk http://battleofthebits.org/barracks/Pro … r/Favorite

that's hundreds of tracks in total but it's hard to pick a single Thing when there's so much music out there that is good in different ways

[edited for spelling]

Sure, all joking aside I'm glad that this thread has avoided the Graveyard for as long as it has. It's a nicely concentrated theory lesson. Nothing wrong with a little spirited debate. (The attacks ad hominem would probably be better left unremarked though.)

most of the chiptune i hear these days is just that there is so much 047 and not enough more interesting ones like J47

I think its good in a way...if someone new comes to read the thread they will find a lot of nice scales and arps.

I guess what I was saying about most of the chiptune i hear these days is just that there is so much 047 and not enough more interesting ones like 048 (aug), 057 (sus4), 036 (dim) etc.

Even when we don't agree, we can still have a good time.
We're one big, happy, moderately disfunctional family.

I find it really funny how you all go on like your experts on the subject but when you write examples they are total nonsense. (with the exception of fearofdark, who was right about the B harmonic minor mistake...yes it has an A#, not an A. Melodic minor is very interesting).

@Imaginary:

Lol, that was nice. peace

i think he means like he finds music that uses exclusively notes from a c major scale to be boring..fair enough i guess.

i think if you're listening to electronic music and the way you judge interest or complexity is purely by pitch notation you're kind of missing the point maybe?

heck like even classical notation has a lot more going on than what pitches are being played; there's arrangement, rhythmic and dynamic interest, performance context, etc.

even then there's a lot of really dope, interesting music that's only using 7 notes or w/e. what a dumb way to listen to music.

That literally proves Fearofdark's point. A key signature is written to make it simpler to write in a particular key if you'll be commonly using notes from a particular scale and will only more rarely have to mark accidentals.

All four of those terms mean different things but nobody is arguing that they're not related.
