cTrix's entire A for Amiga album is pretty brilliant but Futureblue is definitely a standout.

Re: opinions on using using more modern devices for chip music. (41 replies, posted in General Discussion)
"Chiptune/chipmusic" has a well-defined center but such a stupidly vague edge that lately I've come to think of the term as a philosophy even more than a method or a genre.
after all, I think all chip really is deep down is celebrating old, outcast, or uncommon technology by bringing it into the present. You can do that by pushing the boundaries of limited tools or you can do it by combining those tools with modern ones or you can even just give an earnest homage to those tools and not actually use them, and as long as its a sincere statement I think it can fall under the name.
(that being said I've definitely heard 'chipmusic' that I'd have a really hard time actually classifying as chip)

Re: Is GSXCC allowed here?? (13 replies, posted in General Discussion)
It's definitely frowned upon, if nothing else.
Also, ratings don't really mean that much, since they're just a measure of comments/favorites per view; get enough people to view a track without commenting or favoriting it, and the rating goes down.

Re: Getting Noticed (8 replies, posted in General Discussion)
What everyone above said. One of the most fulfilling (but not necessarily effective) ways of getting noticed is just talking to people and becoming good friends. Even if you don't get an increase in "attention" right away, you'll still have fun and want to keep making music, which is the most important part.
Basically make lots of good friends, don't think about "getting noticed" too much, keep at it day in day out, have fun

I was learning some Japanese for my trip but got hooked so I guess I am learning a new language too.
More people learning Japanese, yeah! Also congrats on the marriage coming up

Joined a student game project, and the director says he wants a modern-sounding "fantasy orchestra" style so now I'm learning how to use VSTs and MIDI stuff in ModPlug Tracker, which is both easier and harder than I expected. trackers for life

I saw a bong shop in Tokyo but the actual stuff is crazy illegal so probably inside someone's house or way far out in the boonies.

cTrix, because everything he's ever done just sounds so effortlessly amazing, and I've seen how he works, he really does make it seem so easy!
Same here. So many of his tracks have this infectious energy and vitality and they really do just sound like someone having tons of fun making great music. The fact that on top of that he's so versatile with so many different chip and non-chip platforms is really something impressive that you don't see very often.

Re: Chipmusic in Japan, Korea, Singapore, Macau, Hong Kong...??? (8 replies, posted in General Discussion)
Japan has a very active scene and there's a lot of shows happening all the time, especially in Tokyo and Kyoto. Besides the Japanese chipartists already mentioned, here's some more that I like:
Robotprins (Swedish but lives in Japan)
Kunio
TQ-Jam
maak
hizmi
tappy
I don't know much about other countries in asia, but I heard like a year or two ago Indonesia has some sort of Gameboy scene as well.
