Holy crap. That Roots breakdown is so thick. Bought! I also plugged you in a musicology paper I read at my uni on the styles and culture of chipmusic.org and 8bc.org.
Well done, Danimal!
Thanks Jansaw,
Hey are there any events ever going on in Toronto? I'm in Buffalo and I'd love to play up there sometime!
You know you want to take a peek at those save files... The listening party last night was pretty awesome, we had over 80 people in the chat, I gave away some download codes and tshirts and made fun of virt it was great.
"Roots is my debut chiptune album, I decided to "go big or go home" and make it ~70 minutes. I've been laboring over this album for over a year now and I've learned a lot along the way. It seems like with every new track I would discover a new way of making chiptunes, or another artist would inspire me to head in a different direction.
The album makes its way through a load of genres and moods, and that's because I love a lot of different kinds of music. The gameboy has such a distinctive sound, so that even though I traverse through so many genres the album retains a cohesiveness, glued together by the bonds of chiptune.
This album would not be possible without the sharing of information, tricks, and ideas. I still find myself learning things in LSDJ (someone showed me a new trick THIS WEEK). For this reason I've decided to include the .sav files in my album. Go ahead, learn, remix, be curious. There's no reason to have trade secrets in chiptune composing. I am extremely proud of what I've been able to accomplish with this album but it would not have happened without people showing me things first." — Danimal Cannon.

Danimal Cannon's debut chiptune album comes out Thurs Dec 1st on Ubiktune! Let's have an internet party to celebrate! Seriously what else could be more fun on a Thursday night? (The answer is nothing except becoming Robocop)
We'll be having a listening party on Noise Channel Radio (http://areciboradio.com/) where we will:
- listen to the entire album, supplemented by some notes/trivia about each track. - live chat (woooo party) - GIVEAWAYS, we got yer t-shirts, we got your album download codes. YAY FREE STUFF!
----------Thurs Dec 1st, 10pm EST ------ Come rock out and have some fun, maybe get some free stuff?
Also I'm pretty sure this site is your best bet for finding shows in NYC, 8bc is mostly silly discussion, I don't know if people announce shows over there any more...
People do, but topics get bogged down by elitists
No. They just go completely unnoticed 90% of the time and no one checks it.
