^This. Going to toycompany shows over the past few years and seeing people get enthusiastic over tracker music has definitely inspired me to keep up with my own weird tracker stuff.

Re: Whats the story with the demo scene and open source? (21 replies, posted in General Discussion)
It seems like a relatively new thing, but also a continuation of old attitudes regarding sharing knowledge. Like others have said, the demoscene was always friendly towards knowledge exchange - but it was mostly done via demoparties or private irc /msg chats, etc.. As demoparties have waned in size/frequency, and the IRC community has become less vibrant, it doesn't surprise me to see demogroups open-sourcing their code in the aims of contributing to a healthy community.

Re: discussion: the creative commons ND license (36 replies, posted in General Discussion)
i think what we're trying to get at here is that prohibiting the free creation of derivative works seems antithetical to what CC is supposedly "all about".

it's a very interesting tag. one would think if you cared enough about ND, you would just exercise your copyright.

Re: Your personal views on Nintendocore (104 replies, posted in General Discussion)
hella thread derail. sBach and chirpin' hard are unsung heroic acts of chipmusic.
pretty sure 'nintendocore' is more of a tumblr tag than a music genre.
the most recent hella album was mindblowing.

Re: lsdj odd time signatures/polyrhythms (89 replies, posted in Nintendo Handhelds)
For what it's worth, I have seen sheet music notated as 4/3 (4 dotted half notes per bar.) While this is arguably no different than 12/8, certain writing conventions exist where 4/3 would be preferred. (For example: a short 8 bar passage in a piece written in 4/2). This may even be frowned upon - I have no idea. All I can say is that I have seen it in repertoire.
People seem to make a big deal out of time signatures. With the right syncopation/rhythmic sense, you can turn any finite grouping of 3's and 2's into something catchy and not-awkward.
