IT'S FINALLY DONE!

http://bryface.bandcamp.com/album/various-topics

This album of Game Boy tunes aims for a uniquely illustrative approach to chipmusic, resulting in a sound that is lush, nuanced and full of vitality.

"Various Topics" consists of several all-new tracks from me, as well as remastered and/or expanded versions of select previously-released songs.

Each song varies wildly in style and theme, but expect a few elements to be shared in common: chunky, intricate grooves. Meticulous sound design. Lyrical melodies that evoke a decidedly old-school demostyle flair. Stunning washboard abs.

But more importantly, this album hopes to take you beyond the technical details into less tangible emotional territory -- into the peculiar, the saccharine, the oddball, and just maybe, the surprisingly profound.

Released on Ubiktune

UPDATE 09/26: LET'S GET PHYSICAL - i have a very limited run of CD's.  PM me if you're interested, and i'll see about arranging the creation of more CD's depending on the overall interest.

This is too good. Please ease up next time to the point where I can say "okay, this is humanly possible."

Ubiktune style Gameboy has to be good. This is the secret that few have discovered.

OH also this is really cool.

undecided as to what i want to do with the source files.  i want to be able to explain some of the technical details but i'm not nearly as interested in just doling out SAV's, and instead making the gaining of insight more interpersonal.  maybe in the form of a video tutorial, or a live streamed Q&A where i just hop around the SAV and spew random thotz.

dude, this comment is a total highlight - i "got into" computer music at the age of 9 because of your .MODs so it's an awesome honour to return the favour somehow.



hey also i had a few CD's printed for square sounds tokyo!  PM me if you guys are interested in buying a physical copy and i'll see what i can do depending on who else picks these up in Japan.  Might help me gauge the overall interest in a larger CD run.

Pleasantly surprised to have sold all of the physical CD's that i had printed for Japan!  That unfortunately means i'm out for the time being, but i'm in the middle of preparing for another run.  Let me know if you want one and i'll factor it into the second run.

also, thanks to andrew kilpatrick for this rad review:
