Hey everyone! My name is Hulex. Literally everywhere. I'm also known as Kid Internet on my soundcloud. ANYWAY.
I literally just got my flashcart for my Gameboy in the mail today, preloaded with LSDJ. It was intimidating at first but I'm warming up to it, and I've already got a decent track started up on it.
I've been a fan of chip music since before I even knew it was a thing, for years and years. I'm sure everyone has a similar story but I -really- have a passion for the sound.
I picked up a Gameboy Advance SP from the local indie game shop in town as a convenient, entry-level chip-producing device. Can't beat the convenience of a built in backlight, rechargeable battery, and the ability to play GBA games too for fun :3 I'll get a modded Game Boy original -eventually- but I'm starting out and learning on this. Impatiently waiting for that headphone adapter to show up >_>
(I'm rambling a bit, sorry. Really excited and I have a lot to say~)
What really sparked my passion and interest was going to Pulsewave (I think that's what it was called) in NYC with some friends. Met some cool people there and even performed live* (I streamed an mp3 of an Ableton track from my phone. Shame.)
I poke fun at the perceived elitism in the chip community but really I am here to have fun and share and listen to kickin bangin original chiptunes, or draw inspiration from classics from the NES and GB library.
I'm here to share my ideas, my WIPs, my tracks, and also learn from others in the community! I am -just- starting out and I have much to learn, but I am really really really excited about being able to start making music. I hope we can all be the BEST of friends :D
Sorry for the long winded intro. This will probably be my single longest post on the site. Let's be friends!
