That's a good point. Since there aren't any other responses indicating an interest at the moment, I'll plan on asking specific individuals in the spring if they'd be interested in doing a panel for the following year. This would give several months to potentially save up money for next year's conference. Thanks again for your input!

If I was currently working at a university and had institutional funding to provide to panelists, I would love to do something more targeted as I would be able to provide a stipend to help cover costs associated with travel and what not. I agree with the sentiment behind your suggestion and was just curious if there was only going to be one or two people attending or a much larger number. If much larger, I would like to be more strategic with the selection process and submit a proposal; however, I don't plan on submitting if there is a small response rate where I couldn't get a more diverse and informed panel. The current lack of responses leads me to believe there won't be a diverse enough group of people who are already planning on attending and are interested in doing a panel.
I do appreciate your suggestion!
I was wondering if anyone is planning on attending MAGFest in January. If so, I thought it would be interesting to put together a MAGES (Music and Gaming Educational Symposium) panel of chipmusicians who might chat about chiptunes and education. In particular, I'd like to ask panelists some questions about potential implications of chiptunes for educators as it relates to some of the findings from my dissertation on cm.o. Let me know if you're going and whether you have an interest in participating in this potential panel.
Thanks!

jambonbill, that put a big smile on my face. Thanks for sharing!

Same with me. I'm extremely grateful for the community and have learned a lot by lurking and researching the amazing things everyone shares on here. I've been working on some publications that point music educators toward the kinds of practices discussed in this forum in an attempt to expand the music making and learning offerings in K-12 contexts.
Of course! I hope you continue to share the music you create!
Well done. I enjoyed listening to them and appreciated the throw back to The Prodigy.
Glad this got bumped. Love the track!

No problem! Glad someone else was able to point you toward some more relevant resources.
Here's a playlist I curated to show a range of chiptune practices. It's not all encompassing by any means, but might have some examples of what you're looking for.
This is such a neat project. Thanks for sharing the pictures of the progress and a video of the result!
I agree with Dark_Bit_. Also, I think tutorials like these are invaluable for helping others learn how to create their own music. Thanks for sharing!
Gala wrote:Oh, sorry I wrote my post too quickly and it wasn't really clear. I was not talking about a musicology study. I was talking about the "music section" of this website/forum and the comments. It's not the most active part of this community but it may be interesting (I don't really know if it really is).
(english is not my first language, I can read english without problem but writing it is quite a pain for me. I hope my message is more understandable)
No need to apologize, I think I just made the wrong assumption. That's a good point about the comments in the music section. I did skim through them when I was working on the proposal for the study, but noticed they tended to focus on praise/CC rather than discussing practices (however, that in and of itself is a practice also discussed in the "Releases" and "CC" subforums).
BTW your English is great! I'm in the early stages of learning Japanese, so I hope to one day be bilingual now that I have more time to work on it.

That would be awesome! Thank you so much!
e.s.c. wrote:I'll have to read later. Open to answering any questions you may have, i rarely go more than a day between logging in since I'm part of the small staff here & lots of the others aren't really active on the site anymore.
Thank you so much for volunteering to chat down the road. I really do appreciate it and will take you up on that offer! Yeah, it was interesting reading posts from people who were very involved years ago and are no longer posting. I know some mentioned new phases in life getting in the way of posting (e.g., having kids, getting married, starting new jobs, etc.), but I'm curious what happened to the members who were posting a lot and just appeared to stop.
Gala wrote:I read it today. It's really a great job you've done here. I think it is a good portrait of the CMO community and I've learn a lot of little things in your dissertation. I'm pretty sure there is more thing to explore and analyse, such as the "music" for example.
I really like this kind of paper, and I'd be happy if you continue to produce this kind of work! If I can help you for anything, tell me! (I'm not very active on the forum but if you PM me I should be able to see it)
Thanks a lot for sharing your work! (and merry christmas!)
Thank you so much for taking the time to read it and for the kind words!
I completely agree that the paper didn't spend much time exploring the music itself. Part of the rationale for focusing on the practices discussed rather than the music itself had to do with the nature of the degree (music education rather than musicology or music theory). However, I hope more ludomusicologists take a look at the music itself in follow-up studies (Karen Collins has some scholarship on this if you're interested in it)!
I really appreciate the offer and will definitely reach out to learn more once I begin the next phase of further learning.
Merry Christmas to you too!
