I'm from the midwest and it actually inspires me a lot. Lots of my stuff is really mellow and sad-ish because when I make music I think "will this sound good driving in my car at 2AM down roads surrounded by corn fields?" It'd be swell if I could be part of this, I have no money to help the cause though sad

I totally know what you mean about cornfield-surrounded roads, grew up in Howell, MI myself...I can't think of any chiptune that i'd want to listen to in that setting.. so I'd love to hear what you create! I was always listening to secret of mana soundtrack while driving in the woods, it always seemed more appropriate. big_smile


Just sent in my track and donated some dollas...

I've got an album coming out on the 17th that will be a "pay what you want" and depending on if it does well donation wise, I will be putting all money earned from that into funding this on the second to last day. I believe my girlfriend will also be donating soon because she wants dat panda shirt.

We're also looking for artists to provide cover art, title art, and maybe even random images to put on buttons for rewards!

Title: 2013 Midwest Compilation Album (not confirmed, any good ideas?)
Art: ANSI, 8-bit, Pixel, Glitchy, etc. Doesn't have to be a map of midwest. Something cool that everyone would want!

I probably missed some people mentioning art skills, so please keep updating me!
