The Pungas de Villa Martelli collective introduces the "Argentine songbook vol. 1" music album for Commodore 64 computers that includes chiptune versions of songs by argentine musicians in varied styles. The album's concept is to be able to listen to these songs re-interpreted through the use of recycled technology sometimes considered obsolete. The album can be loaded, listened to and watched on real hardware, be it C64 or C128 computers in all its models. It can also be run on an emulator on PC, Mac and other platforms. There's also a youtube video available for ease of access.

The credits for this release are given to Uctumi y CoMu for tracking the c64 versions of the songs imprinting their creative vision, Riq for coding the executable file in a real technical and creative prowess and Alakrán who carefully crafted the vibrant graphics and animations on screen.
Thanks to the kind invitation of the argentine music group Turf, Uctumi was able to play live his version of the song "Loco un poco" (A little bit crazy) as a preview within the concert held by the group at the night club La Trastienda in Buenos Aires on 14 December 2016.
The album's approximate playtime is 35 minutes and the file size of the executable is only 42 kilobytes, that's about 0.042 megabytes, a ridiculous file size for current computing standards.

Track list:
01 - Uctumi - Keep on living without your love/Seguir viviendo sin tu amor (Luis Alberto Spinetta)
02 - CoMu - Last tango in Paris/El último tango en París (Gato Barbieri)
03 - Uctumi - Classified ad love/Amor clasificado (Rodrigo Bueno)
04 - Uctumi - Do it for me/Hacelo por mí (Ataque 77)
05 - Uctumi - Woman lover/Mujer amante de (Rata Blanca)
06 - Uctumi - Juana Azurduy (Mercedes Sosa)
07 - Uctumi - Just a little bit crazy/Loco un poco (Turf)
08 - CoMu - Chew/Masticar (Fun people)

CoMu - FortDa (2016, Blipblop05)

I think that freudian chiptune could be a right term for this four tracks that I've been playing regularly at my live set during the last years.
Naku Berneri AKA Los Pat Moritas did a marvelous audiowork at his studio Camarón Brujo Musica . Artwork by the great Nahuel Giuffrida .

CoMu - KO Computer (2015, Blipblop02)

After 8 years I finally finished a new album of CoMu A.K.A. Coleco Music. KO Computer is released at Blipblop, our local netlabel of chip music and 8bit music.
Composed between 2007 and 2011, KO Computer are my first songs tracked in Gameboy's LSDJ. The virtual singer rears its head once again.
I also used a Casio VL1 and the Vocoder from Microkorg.
I tried to upload it yesterday but it was impossible, so instead of being the last album of 2014,it is perhaps one of the first of 2015.
I hope to finish next one before 2023.
Special thanks for Julian Carrara from CHIP LAB Studio for the lovely audio work
Enjoy it!

Great Argentine 8 Bit and Circuit Bending compilation!
This is the first LowToy´s call and double album! A powerful and diverse 8 Bit album and another special Circuit Bending album in the same release. Twenty-nine music projects, thirty-one tracks, most of them unedited, more than two hours of Argentine artists´ scattered in and outside the country.
With a colourful styles’s variety, created from Game Boy, Nintendo NES, sand Commodore 64 (transformed into an Elektron Sidstation) and diverse analogue and electronic DIY instruments, like Speak & Spell and home made oscillators and synthesizers, Monotron, Stylophone, modded toys and keyboards, amongst others.
This is Lautaro’s personal project inside Lowtoy, with the intention to reunite, put forth and boost the actual Argentinian music panorama, with the special collaboration of Coleco music and the great help mastering of Two Games One Boy. The whole process has been open and collaborative since its beginning.
Chipar is also a new verb, that alludes a practice that includes the re-appropriation of unused technologies, modification of market’s sound artefacts, the construction of instruments, the open code spirit and the development of music programming interfaces (trackers).

Artists included in this compilation:
2bam / 2Nerd / Cartridge Musik / Char Pointer / Cokeandaspirin / Coleco Music / Delek / Dos Aparatos / Epiref / Fiend / Get Out River / Grosgoroth / Jeremy Flagelo / Juan Linietsky / j.crowe / Lautaro / Lechubit / Los Pat Moritas / Los Sabios Duendes / Maia Koenig / Matias Brunacci / Munshkr / Norman Bates / Pnkrbt / Random Select / Rrayen / Sonografo / Super Guachin / Two Games One Boy

Chip.ar 8 Bit
Starting on a playful aesthetics, the artists united on this album prove the hidden potential on the limitations of the disused tecnologic artifacts . From the raw analogic sound to the nice armonies of the square waves, through the intrincated cadence, catchy tunes, agressive modulations of saw waves and tracks that beg you to dance.
We believe this aesthetic cornucopia represents the actual picture of argentinian 8bit scene.

Chip.ar Circuit Bending
Static groves directed to the general stir, little electric mantra articulated in grotesque and chaotic moments. Minimalist passages transformed in an unraveled sound spectrum where electricity itself seems to be about to electrocute us.
Te artists included on this compiled album remember to make us dance, and to use their whole altered-devices arsenal to create beautiful songs.
