It's not cynicism, just there are at least 5 "(DUBSTEP NANOLOOP LSDJ)" tracks being posted every week at the moment. Thankfully enough people write the genre in brackets now so you can avoid them. (I'd argue Nanoloop and LSDJ have also become genres)

Re: Chip Music Pamphlet (34 replies, posted in General Discussion)
"Chipmusic was invented in 2006 when some guy accidentally plugged his gameboy into a stereo.
The gameboy contained Super Mario Land and people began rocking out to this hot new sound.
Later, other guys started painting and then adding backlights and audio jacks to their gameboys,
turning them from simple gaming devices into serious instruments that you'd hear in an orchestra.
By the end of 2006 chipmusic was the single most influential music on the planet. With top stars
like Beck and other stars like Beck using them once, it seemed on an unstoppable road to glory."

Topic: SEPTEMBER 3-5 2010, UK, SUNDOWN DEMO PARTY (2 replies, posted in Past Events)
I dunno if anyone is interested in the demoscene here. Sundown is the only demoparty held in the UK, located in Budleigh Salterton, Devon and running for 3 days.
Nobody is playing chipmusic live afaik (though Heavy Stylus and Hoffman (aka Hydlide aka Dreamfish) are doing livesets). However there are competitions for both oldschool music (for MOD-style formats) and synth music for NES, Gameboy, AHX etc. There are also oldschool graphics, ascii and demo competitions. Entries can be submitted remotely and I'm sure will be *very* welcome.
Party website
Live music page
Competitions page
There's a thread running at pouet.net which will probably have any last minute news.
OK, now back to coding this demo....

Re: How can he do it? (46 replies, posted in General Discussion)
You're kinda missing my point a bit, it's not technical or musical ability I'm talking about it's down to the basic timbre of the chips. The sound is so over-saturated these days that even the best new stuff doesn't really stand out anymore, and they're becoming the 'autotune' of chipmusic in a way. I'm just surprised far more people aren't swapping or augmenting their sound with other devices to get away from that problem, but then maybe I'm wrong in thinking there is a problem. Anyway, carebears:
