I come bearing audience recordings!

I'm in the process of contacting all of the performers I recorded and securing permission to share what I've got.  As I hear back I'll be adding the links to that page.

We've just hit the halfway point of the show!  Still plenty of great music left to go, including the Diad teaser!  Listen in!  http://areciboradio.com

10 minutes until showtime!  http://areciboradio.com/

This Saturday at noon eastern on Arecibo Radio, KyleJCrb (host of Nitro Game Injection and it's spinoff GameFuel) and I (host of Open Circuit) are joining forces once again to celebrate the end of 2011 with one hell of an epic show. We've got a playlist STACKED with our favorite tracks from 2011 (think plenty of video game and chip music), PLUS we've got an exclusive teaser from the long awaited Diad album, coming in 2012 to Ubiktune.

Don't know who Diad is? Let this jog your memory:


Their album is going to be the benchmark that future NES albums are compared to, mark my words. You don't want to miss this.

Sooooo pumped for this.

Shouldn't DefleMask be listed in the PC category?

Great job with the article.  It's certainly easier to follow than the half-assed one I used when I first did this to my NES.
Powerpak users, it's worth noting that you can have a separate output for the expansion audio as well:  instead of connecting Pins 3 & 9 with a resistor, run pin 3 to it's own output (using a capacitor at the RCA jack in the same way as liquidcalm does in his guide.)  Voila!  You have 3 separate outputs.
If you're feeling adventurous, you could also throw in a switch so the expansion audio could be either mixed in with the system output or given it's own output...

Thanks for sharing this!

Shame there are no previews, no bandcamp link?

I don't know if there are any plans for a bandcamp page, but I can provide a sampler MP3 with clips of each track.

This album is the third installment of a compilation comprised of many talented chiptune artists from the Minibosses Message Forum at The Shizz.  Not only is it intended to be a format for Shizz chiptune artists to share their talents, it’s also a new source for an annual fundraiser to help Shizzies get to MAGFest.

A special thanks to darmock for all of her help with the artwork!

I made the trip down for this... and brought my audio recorder.  I'm still sorting through everything, and getting permission from the bands to share the audio, but I've already got few up.

Of note for chipmusic fans: http://www.kngi.org/opencircuit/bitgen6 … saurs.flac smile

I'm still working out some of the logistics, but I'm pretty sure I'll be making the trip down for this.

It's gloriously lo-fi, I love it.

Such an awesome album!  Really glad to see this out. 
...but I guess this means that none of the labels picked it up then?  sad

....going to blip fest just became a real possibility for me.  I'm going to be in ottawa from May through August, and busses from Ottawa to NY are surprisingly cheap.

Thoroughly impressed by this, Josiah.  You've got the chip / guitar mix nailed. 
Well done, man.
