maybe, i just expected more from this scene as a whole.. sorry, youve collectively let me down (not that you give a fuck ).. had a few conversations with other guys about this, and im not alone on thinking things were going to go a different direction back then..
I think chipmusic has become a caricature, because I agree that there's nothing like Tree Wave happening now, I think Goto80s projects might be closest to what you're thinking of.
Most mature kinds of music are now filled with people who look for tutorials and forums for step by step instructions on how to make things, it's the current way people learn.
I don't like Ubiktune as much as I ought to, for me insane virtuosity does not instantly equal good music. I don't think fragmentation into specialty genres is the answer either.
In the long run, I'm going to make what I like to make until I can't or don't want to make it anymore. As time passes more of my music sounds less like it belongs; I'm sorry I couldn't do much for the scene.
