New Jellica always makes me happy.

Agreed! You could have put it in the Nintendo handhelds forum too!

Would any of the mods mind cracking down on this a bit. I have noticed a few really vague titles slipping through

Mega-btw: this is the earliest use of chip-like music (not just timbre) that I've come across. It was made with paper in Soviet in the 1930's. How about that? smile Start like one minute into the clip.


This is amazing.  I 100% get what they are doing and it's mind blowing.   I'll get this translated in the new year. (I live with a russian gal, although I'm not sure how she will go with the tech lingo!)

If you could even give me your best effort at what you think they are doing I would be fascinated. If it is 1930's that is at least pre CSIRAC right? Also unless my history is deserting me it is pre Betchley park et al code breaking machines like the colossus?

Is this the first example of FAKEBIT???

Stole an idea from trash80 for the little synth rack/shelf thing. Also made a little 1U high rack shelf for my tx81z, audio and midi interface and saved a keyboard stands worth of space in the living room. Also synths are now nicely at eye height with less cable spaghetti and I don't hit my keyboard (an break it.....) when I turn round in my chair. Woo!

I like this tune a lot!

Could we have a descriptive title though?

I usually have a laptop on stage and hide my gameboy behind it so people think im using ableton.

Could someone be a hero and make this thread title one relevant to the topic?

Im a bit split on that, I totally agree with Bright Primate's point about the chip music scene being very tolerant of lack of polish and would very much like a higher quality bar with music and performance.

That being said the "chipness" of the scene does give musicians and artists a very wide range of places to play. I mean most of us know people to contact in numerous countries about shows to watch or play at which is pretty awesome and "chip" is kind of the mortar which holds that together.

However, if your music isn't good enough to play outside that comfy nest, maybe pull your socks up a bit? Also I think musicians should be able to describe their music without bringing their gear collecting hobby into it.

Im feeling all middle aged and centrist here! I wanna be edgy and stuff...

Have you tried recording something other than your gameboy? There is a possibility you messed up the pro sound mod.

Edit - Sorry, that wasn't intended as hostile I am a well known botcher of all kinds of things.
