^ this thread is three years old, I think he has figured out his genre by now

If it's written on a chip that's running at 8 bits (or fewer), you can call it chip music in the same way that if a piece is written for piano, you call it piano music.

I say 8 bits or fewer because by the time you get past that you enter the world of vintage music tech like old drum machines and stuff... Kit that's actually been designed for the production of studio-quality music.

just music.

if the supermarket isles were all completely random that would be annoying

I had the conversation a couple of days ago whether or not a gameboy was an analog synth with someone pretty well-versed in the field.  I figured it was analog synthesis because it's coming from a chip that is making the sounds and wasn't sample-based, but apparently analog synthesis is created from different voltages being sent from the oscillators to whatever is amplifying it.  This allows for analog synthesis to be much more imperfect, too; with you sometimes facing tuning problems, or just weird effects you never intended.  With the gameboy or other forms of digital synthesis, it's sending the chip exactly what you want to be output via a signal and there's nothing to be interrupted or marred in the process.

Chiptune is music played on a chip. It is a much of a genre, as guitar music, piano music etc.

Ok yea you're right. Chiptunes is a sub genre of electronic music, that makes sense.

I'm not trying to figure what direction to take my music, its more of figuring out the right marketing techniques. It wouldn't really settle in the chip tunes world however, but people who are into daft punk, deadmau5 etc... wouldn't "accept it" into there hearts right away. (not that I care or not).

Maybe i'll start a label for this strange mixture of the chiptunezy and dance world. Who wants to jump on board? haha.
