Mothafuckin Tony Ness. Good to see him on a bill. Dude is so positive and has a ton of heart.
This.
Also, pleased to make your chipquaintance (or something), everyone, this will be my first I/O show!

cerror did a Atari 1040STe version. :-)
Cool, I actually had a lot of trouble finding authentic/real versions of it, which is one of the things that led me to do some of this, but my AY/YM version doesn't use samples at all (where's the challenge in that?).
Yes.
Thanks for all the positive feedback! Might slip in a few extra systems as bonus tracks (for posterity?) after I get some of my paying work done.
April cats may bring eaten flowers, herr_prof....
I didn't do a gameboy version because I figured I had the nintendo "soundscape" covered with regular NES and VRC6 and I was trying to get mostly varied chips. Gameboy would've just been awkwardly wedged somewhere in-between.
Originally this was going to be an April Fools joke, but I had too much shit going on. I released it anyway because why the fuck not/educate the children. Also, there's a youtube video, and it's free:
Hey! Thanks for the kind feedback (on P8M, too! probably still my best piece of work to date). I've been listening to your tunes for awhile now. Both Escape From the Spaceship and the Koto Megamix have riffs that remind me of the Mortal Kombat theme (not necessarily a bad thing).
The song is single-POKEY. There was a LOT of channel jumping / pattern packing to get everything in there. You can hear a few dropouts where certain things disappear but I tried to keep them to a minimum. I use a hacked tracker setup on the PC side to write (and to get my detunes right) but everything should be possible on a stock 800.
My sound output is emulated via PokeySound in HQ mode. It says it doesn't do high-pass filters but I did the high-pass trick once or twice to get that PWM effect, so I think the version I'm using is newer than my documentation (which says 2.3). =] Anyway, it's the sound from the Atari800 emulator. So....whatever that is.
I'm working on building a multi-chip sound device that will accept a POKEY, SID, etc.... but that's a little ways down the road, so for now I'm using this. =]

This is a cover of A_Rival's 8-bit Pimp (Just Pimp 'em remix) I did on the A8. I actually released it a couple weeks ago, but I didn't make much noise or anything. I figure/hope some folks here will like it.
Hey guys. Thanks for the support, sharing, etc. Means a lot.
If you're not into NIN, maybe you'll like the music anyway and/or it'll help you get into it.
This is for me.
that teetering loft is a bit scary.
It's just the way the photo is stitched. It's not actually teetering.
Gah. "Do you think this would be a problem?"
Now read the post above yours.
My advice, from some of the good experiences I've had with contacting musicians, is this:
Why don't you just email/tweet/contact the artist somehow and ask?
Hey xero, if you don't want to do Fragile, that's inevitably on my list, just not for this album. I like Fragile.

What if the song in question was under something like a Creative Commons Non-commercial?
That depends on whether the [CC] license they chose allows derivative works or not. And if you intend to make any money, you'd have to work something out with the original artist where they offer the work to you under a different license.
Also, semi-related rights question: I have a song that I made an arrangement of that I really would like to open my album with, but I'm crediting the original composer. It's much like how glomag did "Red Pixel Dust (Morricone)." Hopefully it won't be some kind of problem, but I'm not looking to make any cash off it and it's a new arrangement so we'll see how that goes.
I think you left out the question....
PS for Josh. You make great music, but get to know your duty cycles. That's 25%. =]
Thanks for your feedback, Josh. I appreciate it and the explanation of how you feel about covers helps me understand your point of view. However, you tell me not to use the NES.... and this is Gameboy, actually. DPCM is not being used at all. I'm using the gameboy waveform from Tetris for the bass. I can see the mixup (even though gameboy is in the title), I guess I use it mostly like an NES because I don't often write on the Gameboy. I haven't implemented any panning yet.
While the TL;DR factor might be in play, I do explain in the project FAQ that I'm actually using eight different chips to do this album. The video also displays all of them. This will be the only Gameboy track. SID/C64 and POKEY/Atari800 will get slightly preferential treatment with two tracks each, and then there will be MSX+SCC, OPLL, SN76489, NES, and VRC6.
I have to say, though, I don't really consider The Only Time to be a very grungy, abrasive, or gritty track. Though with some of the others, I wholly agree. What about the original track gives you an abrasive impression?
Thanks for the new words of support, everyone.
What NIN stuff are you working on, xero?
