Thanks to everyone who participated!
Old info follows:
It has been brought to my attention that the the chip music scene has seen far too many rave-like releases, leading to in-jokes about raver music. Something about "Mario at a rave."
So I propose that there be a chip music collaboration which moves in the opposite direction entirely: muzak. Also known as elevator music. Make some tunes in an appropriate elevator music style. Included types would be muzak, bossa nova, smooth jazz, "beautiful music," and easy listening.
Please refer to the following links for more information about the style if you haven't heard of it already:

Basic rules are that you need to use some kind of chip standard of making this. Trackers, video game units, and vintage computers, synths, and general MIDI (as long as they sound chip-ish) are all fair game. Fake-bit is also OK too. Previous compositions may be considered for inclusion, but new compositions are preferred.
Cover art will be by myself, arfink. Hosting will be arranged hopefully soon. Please have your tracks submitted by November 1, 2010. You may email them to me directly here: arfink (at) stthomas (dott) edu
EDIT: oh yes, MP3 tracks only please, of at least 256 kbps encoding rate. Thank you.
