Fight the good fight, man. It's tough when you /are/ most of the scene.

mainz, grmny.
I'm not saying Skrillex was necessarily bad or something. But just because someone compares you to the currently most popular electronic musician doesn't mean they know much about what you're doing. Or what Skrillex is doing. You know, if it took skill, time, commitment.
So I would say it's a rather bad compliment, not because someone's getting compared to Skrillex, but because of getting compared to one of the most popular electronic musicians at the time.

I would love to see more 'point of view' cameras utilized by electronic musicians and it's something I hope to be able to do at some point. I first saw this sort of thing done by Thomas Dolby a handful of years ago. He had a small camera attached to his head so that you could see exactly what he saw and it was displayed on a large projector. Mixing things like this with other nifty visuals really helps out a performance IMHO.Like that?
This is awesome
Patric Catani often projects what he's doing and lot's of people love it.
I thought of ways to do it too, I really like the idea.
Lsdj rom on pc + projector = easymode. But then I saw you could do it with a Wii, anybody have any experience with gameboy roms on Wii and/or Wii + projector setups?
OT: everybody I know calls it nintendocore, even if it's just regular chiptune. I don't care. I think the mario at a rave comments are awesome.

skrillex is popular, people like him. if those people that called you the skrillex of chiptune, liked skrillex, then it was a compliment.
it's not that hard, really

I get "real music" (even at a hacker convention, which I did not expect) all the time and being called a DJ, I've been introduced by the wrong name, I've been told to "shut up and put on some _______" My own girlfriend insults the music I make, my family don't understand it, nor do my friends. that's why I lurk here, seeing so many posts of such good music makes me feel validated, even if I haven't posted a link to a damn thing I'm working on.

I do think it's odd not understanding how this stuff gets lumped into techno, given that that's the average person's perspective of anything made with synthetic instruments or instruments attached to a screen. 'Mario at a Rave" isn't an insult. Raves are FUN as is Mario, to you music is a soul crushing search for self expression for them it's a laugh on the weekend. I think the "unce" comments by those in the scene are way more insulting. But, I love techno, electro, breaks and house in all it's forms so maybe I'm biased.

Bama brotha! I'm in Birmingham/Tuscaloosa. Where be your hometown? I sympathize completely with you and your story. >.<
I'm from Brimingham (grew up in Hoover and moved to 14th avenue south by dreamland...then spent a year in Orlando learning music engineering) and now I'm in Nashville, TN (for about 10 years...I'm an old guy

I'd actually like to see some of this stuff: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ralwfcuE … re=related
with gameboy/DS screens updated in realtime and animated pixel art graphics. I'm all about the combination of new and old tech. I just need to get a projector.

no ones ever said anything mean to me. the only thing kinda negative that happens is from being friends with and sometimes playing with another (much better) artist. ive had countless people think im him which usually pisses us both off. mainly cause we look nohing like each other. " hey your ****. i saw you at blah blah". no you didnt.
