This is totally rad!

I always thought Peer's "Dance 3" was sad. It starts with this bittersweet chord progression and a fragile melody, which falls apart and gives way to a suffocating midsection of caustic noise, beeps, and scattershot percussion, which is finally joined by the chords and melody again. The glassy chords and wavering melody underpinned with the manic percussion always struck me.

This is sort of interesting to me. I have absolutely no clear organizational rules. I don't name instruments. Literally the only thing that is consistent for me is 7F is my blank chain, four phrases long with a K command in it, and 7E is the same, but two phrases long. Everything else is random.

I can see how organization might help some people, but I personally like starting from scratch every time and just letting the track grow in its own weird way.

https://www.reddit.com/r/chiptunes/ has over 18,000 subscribers. If you want a ghetto version of 8bc's top tracks, you can just sort top scoring links by the last week (or day, or month, or year). It's still not as vibrant a place as 8bc because people don't comment on tracks as much though.

Always great to hear new Je Mappelle.

I'm trying to do a better job tweeting stuff I guess.

Not every track on the album was recorded with BGB, actually. Most were, but I used real DMGs for some of them. "Born, Dancing" was definitely done with two DMGs through my DJ mixer. I think Pegasus Four was as well.  I actually A/B tested tracks BGB vs DMG and other than BGB needing a bit more EQ on the bass end, differences were negligible at best.

Yeah, sometimes it sounds sketchy during output, but the renders should sound fine.
