Not only is it diverse, but the people are generally very welcoming and encouraging. So as a scene it's pretty cool.

As music... yeah, all I can really say is dopey stuff like "it sounds good" (partly because it's so varied that in my opinion it's erroneous to consider it a genre). I mean, I think square waves and triangle waves and sine waves and noise are just nice as instruments. I like arpeggios. I love portamentos. I adore vibrato. I dig tremolo. Volume slides are okay I guess. There's definitely an element of nostalgia to its appeal. (Especially with music, the line between "nostalgia" and "what I like" can get pretty fine.)

Why do I like making it? I think it's cool that it's a mixture of "if you can imagine it, you can make it" and some strict limitations. That interplay makes it fertile ground for doing all kinds of crazy stuff. I like what it does to traditional genres (classical, rock 'n' roll, jazz) when you try to get them across under these limitations.

@UnderCoverDisOrder - that album cover is super cool. Makes me think of some underground hardcore punk and black metal album covers.

There's no need to be sorry! I think some musicians (myself included to an extent) just get bummed out when people ask so little because it feeds into an assumption that's out there that music is less worth paying for than other creative services. I mean, musicians might be easier to find than programmers or pixel artists, but their work is comparable in time consumption, challenge, and importance. If people all over the place are charging a pittance for their work, then people start to expect that that's just how much music costs, which makes it much tougher for people to ever make a living doing music.

Thanks in part to the people at TX Chip last month, the floppy disks are all sold out now... did everyone who ordered one receive theirs? Just checking because if you didn't I need to make more

That looks wonderful on the translucent case. This is a great idea.

Sweet! Don't know if I'll be able to make it but I can try.

Pause and 20kbps are cool
