Regarding the ads there will pronbably be less of them in the future. I'm currently evaluating two different ad-companies to see which one presents more relevant adds to my visitors.

Why the fuck do you even have ads? NOBODY likes ads.

You spelled it perfectly, arlen! Geir is definitely one of my favorite composers.
Pulse: yup a bit of a bitch that AHX, but as I said, CAN work, you just need to have teh RIGHT kit. I Will try to upgrade my A600 o KS3.0 just to run AHX.

Also: I wish I could convince BuZz to hack AHX for MIDI clock support... Maybe if enough of us bother hm...

Maybe it's time to put it on my a600 and start making some songs on it for a change.

AHX needs Kickstart 3.0 to run. Unless you have it in ROM, I don't recommend going this way. I used to run it in my A600 with 2MB of RAM And softkicking it to 3.0, but this was annoying. Then I got an A1200 tongue

You know what sucks? People not knowing about chipmusic at all, or not even caring about. That's the main thing, actually. They would go if they knew and liked.

If they just liked the MUSIC there wouldn't be a problem.
The problem is turning ghetto, as ovenrake says.

If there's one thing that is blindingly obvious in the UK it's that nobody wants to go to a chipmusic event that is solely chipmusic. 
[...]
promoters and organizers don't really feel the need to have a chip presence at their events.

That really makes a lot of sense, unlike the other "reasons" posted before.


Back into the point, it is hard to pull something like this. People should understand the effort each one of these means and stop talking about "such and such doesn't play". It doesn't add up to anything.

In my opinion, I disagree that Blip is not some sort of recognition, it's an incredibly particular event and being part of it is a tremendous honor for every performer involved. It IS the finest event of this scene and as such, playing it is a recognition of your hard work that you are awarded. I also believe it's an example to follow and therefore not just anyone can be put to play in such a symbolic event, but only those representing what is out there the best. Blip managed to balance the stalwarts and the surprises in the right dose in almost each of its editions. The dancefloor-able and the experimental, the crowd pleasing and the downright risky, the new kids on the block and the legends that return for one last face melt, the ones in well known areas and those from mostly unknown lands. Fucking hard task to do.


Well that's that.

Not to make excuses, but NYC is a massive city with a massive arts/music scene and an excellent (and mostly 24/7) public transportation system - this certainly helps a small scene such as chipmusic alive and thriving. In the UK when most Public transport ends before midnight, it certainly makes it harder to organise events on a larger scale. I do try though, believe me!

I can't believe blaming the public transport. There are tons of massive parties in the UK! What the fuck does public transport have to do? No arts/music scene in the UK? Are you joking me? :S
