my first impression of chipmusic has always been more software-based, back when i listened to chiptune 4chn MODs.   the idea of "hardware limitations" wasn't even front and center in my mind, i just thought, hey there are these songs that are meant to sound like older machines. 

for me it was always more about the aesthetic, the sonic result and what kind of emotional/nostalgic itches they scratched. 

i think my interest in the hardware aspect could be compared to, say, an archaeologist trying to understand how the state of technology at a particular time in history shaped the products of a society.  it's fun trying to gain that understanding, but the novelty can only last so long and after that it's time to create new product.

i don't really have any aspirations as to my contributions to society at large as a chipmusician, but my interest in chipmusic has always been rooted in appreciating the compositional purity of chipmusic - in other words, when you take away from today's music basic frills and luxuries such as "conventional instruments", can a piece of music still be appreciated for being compelling?  that's the one lesson i hope chipmusic can teach the world as/if it grows in popularity.

oh shizz!! of course, how could i forget.

dammit netherlands why do you always have the hottest people at your shows

AND I AIN'T TALKING ABOUT JUST DA WOMEN BACHICKAWOW

i LOL'ed at that one super-late zombie laugh in the middle just before the tune loops.  it's the zombie equivalent of homer simpson's "mono... doh"

is there any point in that video where any person is not high as fock
