A little bag that came with a shitty digital camera that I no longer own. The bag was way too fucking big for the camera, but almost the exact size of a DMG.

I think you should add a short bit about what sort of genres will be played by the artists on the bill. If it's dance/rock/death metal it will attract different crowds.

If they were to ask for an event description and you said "dance music programmed onto old games consoles", they will have a better idea of how to promote it.

Seems like it's shaping up to be a lot of things.

I'm advocating going for the "here's something mysterious and surprising you have not seen before" approach.

Marketing is easy if you go for the lowest common denominator.

I feel that the latter doesn't invoke the former.

The venue wants your "elevator pitch," for which "Mario at a Rave" works provided you actually sound like Mario at a rave. The answer you give should relate to your own sound, not necessarily to chipmusic as a whole. Decktonic had the right idea, though it should be shorter if you can help it, and ...  Decktonic's only works if you are actually pushing the limits of your system...

I don't think a single one of us has any hairtune. Decktonic's given a fairly accurate description, albeit a bit wordy.

Have any of you been in a situation where you were asked by a venue to provide a brief summary of chipmusic for the sake of the venue's promotion of the event/the scene? If so, can you give me some help with keeping it concise, accurate and likely to attract the interest of unfamiliar outsiders?

The place: Firehouse 13 (http://fh13.com/venue/)

Id love to see a super programable drum machine synthcart upgrade. FAT KICKS.

It'd be cool if one could progressively add in individual instances of sounds into a loop, the way Nanoloop works, instead of now, where it's just triggering instances of entire beat sequences over the bpm.

Anyone ever attempted a merging of Atari Synthcart with Gameboy? I know littlescale's done some MIDI controlling of the 2600.

Was chatting to cTrix the other day, turns out the 2600's TIA chip is a terribly atonal and hard-to-harness thing apparently.
It's be pretty cool for a noise set though!

That's what I've heard/what I'm thinking.
