Boom!! Text by my good friend Lazerbeat.
Thanks again to Josh for this opportunity.
just came across this thread. the comp finishes today right? I guess I'll take part in the next one then 
Nice article!
I presume little-scale is the dean at Chipmusic University.
just added myself to the steam group. name: Cheapsh0tz
playing L4D2!
hahahaha that's the one to get!
excellent thread here.
my two bits:
Making tunes with LSDj has nothing to do with nostalgia. It's because I feel that I've always performed at my best when limitations have been provided for me. Examples:
+ Degree coursework (make a track using white noise only)
+ MA coursework (write an essay about the teaching of pronunciation)
+ Japanese language tests (you will be tested on these 189 different grammar points and 2000 kanji)
Making music on a gameboy is for me another version of this. (Here are four tracks (each with it's own limitation) and a limited set of effects, go make a tune!)
I have made tracks with cubase and ableton over the last 10 years or so, but often find the lack of limits to the amount of VST effects, instrument, possibilities, etc. stifling...
(on a side note, I think that's why I haven't taken to LGPT yet --> there is just a little bit too much you can do with it! )
This is looking good. Do you have a development log on TIG? http://forums.tigsource.com/index.php?board=27.0 Might be a good place to get feedback from even more indie game makers.
I like the style you have going on here. Keep it up!

thats not even the lineup, just people who plan to be there to chill
i see i see. I wonder who amongst that lot will be playing...
Gratz everyone. The quality of all choons was top-notch. was hard to pick a favourite.
I'm gonna get my LGPT skills up and submit for HEXAWE:two (or whatever the next compo is gonna be called )

totally pro mini-album/EP. (I expected nothing less of course.)
Good job guys!

Props to those that did though! Looking forward to hearing this!
EDIT: spellings
dammit cheapshot you should have told us! i used to have a netbook with no right ctrl so i could have snapped you a nice trick to map it to a different key. doh!
shiiiiit, that would of been real handy. Ah well, I'll finish it up on Friday when I (hopefully) will get my NEW dingoo Too late for the comp, but it's worth finishing. (maybe!)

You need to get involved with some quality British cask ale.
Indeed.

Two labels who set very good examples in my opinion are
http://home.no/metrodub/ & http://www.iimusic.net/
Because
1: Quality Quality Quality.
2: Presentation.
3: All releases viewable on one clear page.
4: Regular releases.
5: Something a little different.Any label which does all the above should do pretty well.
Agreed. Especially point number 1. It's all about quality. If its good people will do two things: tell their friends (increasing the fan base and promoting the label for you); and look forward to each release, meaning that they will be back to the website on a regular basis to see if anything new has dropped (read: you won't need to promote the label aggressively).
