Maybe I'm weird, but I like my old stuff and what I'm currently working on.
Sometimes I get tired of hearing a song while I'm working on it and take a break though.

Re: How does one play live chip music... (184 replies, posted in General Discussion)
For the party I played in Lexington in February or whenever, I took a sort of DJ set approach. Two gameboys, added silly mixer fx (filter sweeps, delaaaaaaay, etc) and transitioned my songs into a seamless 30 minute mix.
It worked really well and gave me a fair amount to do, since half of my songs were 2xLSDJ, there was a lot of juggling parts, switching files, and beat matching to get the songs to flow.
To add variety, I played the 1xLSDJ tracks in live mode and stretched out breakdowns (and spiced them up with FX).
If you are going to try and do something cohesive like that, you need to plan out your set list and practice all your transitions. The beginnings and endings of tracks may need to be altered as well.

I write boring things. With words.
At night I provide free childcare to a toddler. I have not figured out how to monetize that activity.

This actually is really cool. I wish it was longer. Those melancholic melodies at the end of "Savannah" were golden.

Is anyone else bracing themselves for one of their track names to show up here?
I would say "Chipset Sunset" but it's so awesome that it transcends its name as well as time and space.

Re: Live show background effects (14 replies, posted in Motion Graphics)
An easy, ready-made way to do this is to use Lightwall. Its a NES program that lets you do funky patterned visuals you can control with a controller.
You can run the ROM in an emulator if you don't want to fool with a NES and a flashcart. I have a copy on my soft-modded Wii, which has an emulator on it. Works like a charm.
This is the thread about it: http://chipmusic.org/forums/topic/1714/ … m/page/22/

Re: What happened to the musician ______? (118 replies, posted in General Discussion)
I've been wondering what happened to Monomania. His LSDJ bass tones were phenomenal. Never released an EP and disappeared with 8bc, apparently.
Anyone know if he still does music?

It's definitely not strictly DMG.
Starpilot stopped using Gameboy
BSK (Bokusatsu Shoujo Koubou) makes chipbreaky stuff now I think
Inverse Phase does cool SID and Pokey stuff
I'm probably missing people.
And don't forget folks who will play instruments or sing or whatever!
