Chip tunes in the public (Page 5) - General Discussion - Forums

Mega-btw: this is the earliest use of chip-like music (not just timbre) that I've come across. It was made with paper in Soviet in the 1930's. How about that? Start like one minute into the clip.

This is amazing. I 100% get what they are doing and it's mind blowing. I'll get this translated in the new year. (I live with a russian gal, although I'm not sure how she will go with the tech lingo!)

CHIPTUNE

That's a great idea, let us know if you can make sense of it.

There's plenty to read about these sort of things. Several ppl in Russia had similar things going, but also in Europe and USA I think there were some audiovisual waveform boogie-boogies.

If you could even give me your best effort at what you think they are doing I would be fascinated. If it is 1930's that is at least pre CSIRAC right? Also unless my history is deserting me it is pre Betchley park et al code breaking machines like the colossus?

Is this the first example of FAKEBIT???

CHIPTUNE

it's not digital technologies: it translates light into sound. it's like a reverse process of how film sound works. there you have a separate 'track' for the audio, eventhough it's light. so, you can also "paint sound" into that soundtrack, which several experimental film makers did early. am i right, cTrix?

(so yes, it's definitely fakebit)
