Culturachip is a spanish speaking active chiptune community, we hold about 5 compo/releases each year, this time in collaboration with AAMSX we are starting a new one and we are opening to international participation.
The excuse , this time, is the 30th anniversary of the Amstrad computer, and rules are:
Music composed for a single AY chip, no restriction on what tools or computer are used as long as the result can be played on the real thing (Vortex Tracker, Soundtracker, Protracker, Arkos, Starkos,..amstrad, speccy, apple ][, PC,.. ) (AY emulation is of course allowed).
Multiple submit allowed
No previously released songs
No versions or covers
Deadline: 12 November 2014
Send entries to: rolemusic somesymbol gmail period com
After deadline all contestant must vote, songs will remain anonymous till the end of voting
Results: Will be presented at RU meeting (Barcelona), available on December 2014
Somehow Vortex Tracker II is recommended for newcomers to AY (works on windows/wine, easy to track, compatible to all platforms....)
After the compo:
A DIY CD-Audio with printable cover and loseless .iso will be done. People who want to enter on the CD must accept a CC-BY-NC-SA license, and give selling rights (at a friendly price) to the rest of the contestants. We do this to help refund the cost of printing, burning, or help some cost of future selling it in stands aimed to promotion and put the thing out there. (notice that one can enter the compo but choose not to be on the CD),(also notice in case the total playtime exceed 72 minutes some tracks may be edited or discarted)
Musicdisck on a msx computer, and maybe on amstrad and spectrum too. (we recomend using .pt3 format due its portability)
PD:
The result will be kinda as cool as like that this last one we did to celebrate 30th anniversary of Nintendo NES
