ive kind of felt lately that if you fit cleanly into a genre, you're doing it wrong
as a result, this is what i make now http://esc.soundcollapse.org/zips/traces.zip
i tend to be drawn to the sound palette of chip and lo-fi gear, not really into the retro aspect of it at this point or vgm-style stuff...

bit of a follow up question, this is more of an opinion thing... what is it about chip tunes you guys like? what sets it apart from other music you might listen to?

(I should explain that I'm attempting to write a paper on this for uni [college] and am really interested in what people here have to say)

thanks!

I would have a wade through this lot

http://www.iimusic.net/category/catalog

It is all very high quality spanning all kinds of genres. Try these guys

??? - Wall You Need is Love (heavenly dub)
C-jeff - Electric (Epic prog)
Alex Mauer - Lo-Gear (downtempo VGM style)
little-scale - Dynasty (Experimental headfuck)

I must confess though, I think if one concentrates overly on the genre/equipment you are somewhat missing the point.

Lighten up guys... Perhaps a picture of where I'm currently posting from (Banana lounge outside my bungalow in Mui Ne, Vietnam) will help freshen the mood. Either that or try using the snow theme for a day and see if that helps. If pain persists see your doctor.

the way i classify it doesn't have anything to do with the fact that it's a gameboy. a song is jazz, metal, trance, or whatever no matter what instruments made it. that's how i look at it.
