OH SHIT I REMEMBER YOU FROM 8bc!

"West" is still one of my favorite LSDJ jams.  Glad to see you're still active!

I missed the stream.

So...who was the secret guest? I need to know for the sake of curiousity.

Thanks guys! The PA and the acoustics in that space were actually really suited to the task of chip, I think. The clarity of sound was really nice.

This was a crazy fun, genuinely eclectic event and I can't wait for future (heh) installments.  I think we'll be able to make sure there's a chip element each time, but the variety was really great.  The analog vs. digital visuals were fantastic to watch, too.

This is tomorrow!  I hope some of you cats can make it.

Here's the first LSDJ song I completed and uploaded to 8bc in 2006: http://www.noisechannel.org/roboctopus/ … und-forest

It has a bunch of other instruments poorly recorded on it.

This is my most recent upload: https://soundcloud.com/roboctopus/midni … ice-palace

Why am I only just now hearing about this? Dang.
If I could find somewhere cheap to stay I'd totally find a way to get off work so I could come up from TN. Sounds amazing.
I have a long-ish list of favorite chip artists I'd like to one day see live and all but two of them are going to be playing.
fffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffff

Yeah, same here. That lineup practically is my list of chip artists I want to see, haha.

I haven't preordered but I'm for sure getting them. I've been playing since Blue.

Hey guys, it's been a looooooong time!

I started a Tumblr to post new LSDJ and Your articles.  These won't always be as in-depth as my original Noisechannel articles, but I plan to post more often, sharing patches, tips, and maybe some articles about basic recording and mastering.

Check it:  http://roboctopus-8bit.tumblr.com/

I'm new to Tumblr so it's not fancy yet. Don't hate on the simple look.

This is going to be a cool show. Looking forward to it!

I lost my entire track "Your Stars at Dawn" (which is on my Victory Lapse EP.) It was pretty much finished. Luckily I had recorded a demo version of it, so I reprogrammed the entire track by listening to the demo version and trying to figure out how I made each instrument patch.

It was super tedious.

I love chiptunes! big_smile

From my perspective (living in freaking north Alabama!) things are picking up. BRKfest was rad. I'm playing a show in Nashville later this month. There is chiplife in the US South and Midwest for sure.

Chip is alive and well.

I've been following this series and it's super helpful!

I've been avoiding this thread, but the answer should be obvious: a nice tie. Not some stupid video game themed tie, but a tasteful, understated tie. It makes the chips stand out more.

Oh man, I miss the Spider House!

I wish I still lived in Austin... Someone drink some Fireman's No. 4 for me.
