Hello, everyone. My name is Nathan, from Oklahoma City, OK. I’m on ucollective and noisechannel but this is basically my first post on chipmusic. It is great to be a member of such an awesome website dedicated to the promotion of chip music. Here is a little bit of background on me.
I discovered the chip music scene from 8bc back in Fall of 2010, my junior year of college. I was a music composition major and ended up graduating in Spring 2013 with my bachelor’s degree in it. I lurked 8bc like a hawk and discovered some of my favorite artists that way, including Sabrepulse, IAYD, Disasterpeace, Fighter X, Electric Children, Trey Frey, and more. I first downloaded the full version of LSDJ 4.0 (I think it was?) and used my emulator, but got absolutely nowhere. Part of it was being lazy, a huge chunk of it was the intimidation I felt from a very heavy classical music school. My senior year I finished my first piece on LSDJ, using a Gameboy and cart this time around, and it was written with the intent to say, “fuck this, I’m a composer and I’ll write whatever I damn well please.” So I did and people liked it. I’ve writing chip music ever since, as well as more commercial music (I’m working on a short film score for a friend of mine now). I plan to write commercial music, specifically video game music as my career of choice from here on out.
That’s what I got and I'm sticking to it. It's a pleasure to meet you all! Also, is there anybody else on cm.o from Oklahoma City or the surrounding area? I was just curious, it feels like the chip scene in OKC is non-existent.
Also Space Boyfriend is great
